Rivers in the Ocean

Night Blessing

May the winter moon pour silver over your path, softening the edges of worry.

May the trees wrapped in snow remind you of resilience and grace.

May the cold air outside make the warmth inside more precious.

May you rise tomorrow with light woven into your heart.

Rivers in the Ocean

"December asks us to remember what our culture forgets.
That darkness is not a failure of light.
That slowing is not a deviation from the path,
but part of the path itself.

We live in a world that praises the bright, the busy, the blossoming, the forever-spring of productivity and performance.
But the living world whispers something older.
Winter is the season that teaches the roots how to deepen.
The season that gathers the stories we were too hurried to hear.
The season that turns fallen leaves into nourishment and creates the rich, dark soil that makes all future blooming possible.

Nothing in nature rushes through this threshold.
The trees soften into stillness.
The fox moves with deliberate economy.
The seeds rest, carrying whole futures inside their quiet bodies.
Even the light withdraws in gentle increments,
as if showing us how to tend ourselves with patience.

December is not a void but a womb.
A place of brewing, composting, gestating.
A time when the unseen work is the most powerful of all, the kind that reshapes us from the inside out.

As we enter the deep of winter, may we remember that darkness has its own kind of beauty, its own kind of truth.
And that every bright, blooming April
is rooted in a December that dared to rest."

 "Long ago, in shamanic cultures, we knew how to communicate with the Life of the Earth: with the spirits of the plants, the water, the mountains, the animals, and with the Life of the Cosmos — the sun, the moon and the stars in the night sky. We also knew how to communicate with the ancestors and their wisdom. Today, we have lost those skills and are increasingly losing the skill of communicating with each other, listening to each other, respecting each other.

All this has come about because, over centuries and millennia, the visible, material world has become separated from the invisible one. We have lost the thread of Ariadne that once connected us to our cosmic Source. Belief, directed by powerful priesthoods, became a substitute for direct shamanic experience of the Source. We have lost touch with our soul — even the awareness that we have a soul. Cut off from soul, our mind has become impoverished, rigid, dogmatic, and inflated. In compensation for the loss of relationship with soul, it has become driven by the need for ever more power and control, which is why we find ourselves in the extraordinary situation we are in today when millions are suffering the effects of wars and from physical and mental illness, and we are threatened with becoming inducted into a technology that could replace our species with a transhumanist one created by AI, which could bring our species to an end. We need urgently to find our way back the way we have come, towards nature and the ground of our own nature."

What a beautiful full Cold Moon

My Frankie kitty has been diagnosed with diabetes.  He is only 4 and I am completely overwhelmed.  Shots twice a day.  His sugar was super high.

To usher in the season,

you need no other reason

In the morn, before you speak another word,

say rabbit, rabbit, rabbit,

to ensure a month of luck, and a super cool Yule!
