Summer is in full possession of the world now. No longer waiting for the Oak's permission, she has charged forward. The sun burning bright and hot. Humidity hanging in the air, a blanket of incandescent tingling on my skin, a heaviness to my hair. Admittedly, I'm drunk on her. Mesmerized by the beauty coming at... Continue Reading →

Summer is unfolding herself in all the ways that only watery and wandering souls understand. The timothy is now seeding, its pollen puffing out like tiny smoke huffs as I walk through the fields. The dew glistens in the sunlight and from somewhere miles away, the unexpected scent of the ocean finds me. Thank you,... Continue Reading →

The sun borrowed a raven's wing and cut through the leftover storm clouds to peak at the work the night had done. A pause in the heat of summer transformed the heavy air into a celebration as birds danced in puddles and leaves left full of rain glistened and whispered back and forth about what...

Hello, June. I sure have missed your lovely face. Thank you for the ways you always arrive, bearing so many gifts and blessings. The color green, the thick dew on timothy as it reaches towards harvest, the sight of a fawn skipping through tall grass behind his mother as he learns what it is to... Continue Reading →

Fear, I used to believe that anger was my constant companion. And while it is true she's been ever present in my life for almost as long as I can remember, it is you who fed her and bathed her in your poison tonic. I see you. the way my eyes shift and hyperfocus on... Continue Reading →

What I want is to be a summer drink served with a straw in a coconut husk. An intoxicating space for my own soul to reside. I want to reach for the sun like a vine of morning glory on a fence post, knowing it's warmth will set me free. I want to roam wildly... Continue Reading →

On Friday we sit with coffee. We stare into the fog and listen to birds through a slightly open window while holding space for the sun to burn through the remnants of last night's dreams. In between sips we have spiritual negotiations with the ram about our "flow" and equilibrium and how we cannot breathe... Continue Reading →

Upon ascending, our winter's dirge can be heard from miles away. So much ash and bone scattered in the just barely warmer winds gifted by the Maiden. We wash our feet in the still cold creek and shake the dirt from our hair; our hands still stained with the sweet blood of pomegranate and loss.... Continue Reading →
