Imagination is Medicine
Blessings by John O'Donahue
On the day when
the weight deadens
on your shoulders
and you stumble,
may the clay dance
to balance you.
And when your eyes
freeze behind
the grey window
and the ghost of loss
gets in to you,
may a flock of colours,
indigo, red, green,
and azure blue
come to awaken in you
a meadow of delight.
When the canvas frays
in the currach of thought
and a stain of ocean
blackens beneath you,
may there come across the waters
a path of yellow moonlight
to bring you safely home.
May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.
Leonora por Elena Poniatowksa
Finally getting air to read for pleasure and getting around to this wonderful book on the life of surrealist artist Leonora Carrington that my dear friend brought me back from Mexico at first release. Love watching the beloved Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska delight in telling Leonora’s story as seen in this interview.
Legacy of a Narcissistic Parent
This Goop article is worth a read in navigating the challenges of having a narcissistic parent.
Sufi Red Whirling Dervish
Experienced this performance of devotion and enchantment with a dear friend when it travelled through LA this spring. Pierces the soul.
Moon Sisters
Feeling grateful & honored to share the journey with the soul-centered women of my tribe.
"Women who are supported by a circle of sisterhood as a monthly practice, navigate challenges with dignity, grace & shared laughter instead of breaking alone under pressure.
It's time for the women to gather...to help each other rise - as one positive force for global social change founded on personal happiness." -Moon Woman, Red Tent Facilitator
Let Love Reign
Today is a victory for every individual who has had to come out each and every day to show up for themselves and their truth to structures from governments to family that marginalized, shamed, and oppressed the personal spirit, claiming their right to love and be loved.
Love & Mercy
A touching biopic on Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys who survived abuse, exploitation, mental health breakdown and the pressures of success with his genius and genie for love and mercy.
