She beckons me to a chamber, a cavern of creativity, within and so I’m taking a swan dive into the deep end. Now you must understand this was not an immediate appreciation on my part, not by a long shot! I grieved, oh how I grieved, first the loss of a lifestyle to which I’d become quite accustomed and then I was sad about the absence of a loving companion with whom to navigate the terror of a global pandemic. I wished someone would hug me and assure me that we will, in fact, make it through this storm. In addition now there are waves and waves of civil protests in response to the brutal murder of George Floyd #BlackLivesMatter and Breonna Taylor #SayHerName and far too, too, too many others. These incidents have awakened those of us who've been operating under unwittingly unconscious and, quite frankly, inexcusable white privilege to recognize we must join forces in the demand for a new paradigm of freedom, equity and justice for all.
Along the way I have lamented, prayed, lamented s'more & cried. Ever so slowly after acknowledging my grief and allowing myself to go through all the phases, I believe I arrived at some level of acceptance with an inkling of how to proceed. I suppose I could say I am emerging all the more committed to anti-racist dialogue and activism and educating myself on the best practices to behave in anti-racist ways in any given moment and yet I can't trust myself to know what I need to know so imbedded am I in this culture. Accountability is paramount.
Meanwhile I have been hosting a new moon online gathering in which we chant the Heart Sutra Mantra in an effort to invoke blessings of vibrant good health from Hathor and the Bee Goddess in recognition of the Divine Feminine asking Her to arise, to awaken Her power in every cell of our bodies and into our personal mandala of space and into our homes and out into our communities, across the country, across the planet and out into infinity ...
The day following our New Moon Zoom (after a busy morning of phone calls and emails), I sat in meditation with my eyes closed, focusing on my breath with the intention to calm down ... when a brilliant golden radiant {{{{{💛}}}}} appeared. It calmed me, it soothed me, it inspired me.
Later that same day when I returned to my office, I found my friend Zenta had sent an email with a link about the Birth of the Leo-Aquarius Age, as explained by Maurice Fernandez, President, Global Organization for Professional Astrologers. That is, astrologically speaking we are in the age of Aquarius in the northern hemisphere and Leo in the southern hemisphere. He also mentioned the heart as the locale where the convergence between heaven and earth takes place (the mid chakra, the center) and the lion (Leo) represents the heart, the sun, gold and light.....hmmmm {{{{{💛}}}}}
Leo that I am, I am
filled with a lioness’ enCOURAGEment
to BEE the light
So Hum
(Sanskrit: I am)

PS: My friends I invite you to join me....
IT. IS. TIME. Women, let us gather (even in isolation) and send out healing vibrations of
LOVE around the world....Men who share these sentiments are invited to join as well. We gather in the darkness of the new moon. PM me for coordinates.This beautiful painting by Nazim sprang to mind when (virtually) participating in a women's self-care for healthcare retreat last month with Diane Hummingbird Larkin, Deborah Belaus and Jan Pavelco, among others. We were invited to envision ourselves as a circle of women and this image IMMEDIATELY came to mind. Thank you Nazim Artist for this beautuful visionary imagery
