Imagination is Medicine
Homecoming by Linda Reuther
And the Great Mother said:
Come my child and give me all that you are.
I am not afraid of your strength and darkness.. of your fear and pain.
Give me your tears. They will be my rushing rivers and roaring oceans.
Give me your rage. It will erupt into my molten volcanoes and rolling thunder.
Give me your tired spirit. I will lay it to rest in my soft meadows.
Give me your hopes and dreams. I will plant a field of sunflowers and arch rainbows in the sky.
You are not too much for me. My arms and heart welcome your true fullness. There is room in my world for all of you, all that you are.
I will cradle you in the boughs of my ancient redwoods and the valleys of my gentle rolling hills.
My soft winds will sing you lullabies and soothe your burdened heart.
Release your deep pain. You are not alone and you have never been alone.
Radical Roots with Michael Meade
I had the great pleasure of attending a speaking engagement with renowned mythologist, Michael Meade, drumming up some old ideas for a radical response to become agents of change in the current state of affairs.
Ama Hugs
I recently had the honor of my first visit to meet the hugging guru, Ama who was on her annual tour through LA. It was quite a large production that I had not anticipated and I found this doll of her as Ganesh and couldn’t resist getting it. Curiously the mantra she offered me was the cooing my own mother made to her babies. I nested my new doll with my collection of Peruvian worry dolls.
