02 Dec Finding Redemption Amidst the Shadows

Observing others interact, people watching, eavesdropping on conversations and documenting it all—often day-dreaming and creating an entire story or fictional dialogue from snippets I was able to capture in those quiet moments...

today I wrote a poem about the lunar eclipse and g today I wrote a poem about the lunar eclipse and grief. i submitted it to, @thegriefdialogues and immediately felt a vulnerability hangover come on. most people have a hard time embracing grief while someone is in the midst of complete anguish. most prefer to read about the precious memories or the healing that comes after. this wasn't one of those poems. it was written while feeling the full impact of a swell of grief that knocked the wind out of me. i'm honestly not sure if it will be accepted - but i think when it comes to grief, we have to honor these moments too. the moments when we feel like an animal, wounded. the moments when the air gets sucked from our lungs. because it's part of the process and the truth is - there's really no way to wrap a pretty bow around it when we feel the despair of missing. of longing. 📸 M.

𝙼𝙾𝙾𝙽 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶𝚂 ♡ 𝙼𝙾𝙾𝙽 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶𝚂 ♡ last night the moon haloed, rung after rung after rung. and it was magical. especially as i was able to witness it with my sister, @ravenpoolgal , who was here visiting. it was her last night here before traversing back to idaho. "sometimes i feel like there's a hole inside of me, an emptiness that at times seems to burn. i think if you lifted my heart to your ear, you could probably hear the ocean. the moon tonight, there's a circle around it [...] i have this dream of being whole. of not going to sleep each night, wanting. but still, sometimes, when the wind is warm or the crickets sing, i dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. i just want someone to love me. i want to be seen [...] but there's only that moon." - practical magic

𝚃𝙾𝙳𝙰𝚈'𝚂 𝚁𝙰𝙽𝚃 have y 𝚃𝙾𝙳𝙰𝚈'𝚂 𝚁𝙰𝙽𝚃 have you noticed how people don't really talk to other people, these days? instead, people talk 𝒂𝒕 other people. it's rare to find someone who actually wants to join a discussion - to try and understand someone else's point of view. instead, i'm finding people would rather argue 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒊𝒓 point of views, opinions, and perspectives. when did communication become a matter of, "i'm right, you're wrong," versus a curious conversation of, "i would like to understand your perspective better. will you elaborate?" and even at the end of the discussion, if we come away still disagreeing, why can't people simply agree to disagree? it's very narcissistic to think that the whole world should think, believe, and behave as you do, isn't it? i mean, isn't one of the best parts of being alive is to experience diversity? the fact that we can be comrades in arms, be unique and stand alone, and sometimes even play the part of devils advocate? i have no desire to live in a cookie-cutter society with cookie-cut people. i want to see individuality. sovereignty. i enjoy seeing people study and research - to ask questions. to determine what they feel is best for them. and to openly change their mind at any given time. that's being human 𝒂𝒏𝒅 divine. one can be passionate without being condescending. i like people who think for themselves. who think outside the box. verses the people who simply go along with the majority and have no idea why. i love those who are open. curious. and i don't understand why, as a society, we have not become more evolved? especially in a time when consciousness is rising. it seems such an archaic way of being. and truly, these days, i'm finding it harder and harder to swallow the better than thou bullshit. people can be utterly exhausting or beautifully insightful and inspiring. what kind of human are you? anyway, that's my rant for the day. time to go back into my cave and hermit for awhile ♡

𝙼𝙾𝙾𝙽 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶𝚂 ♡ 𝙼𝙾𝙾𝙽 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶𝚂 ♡ . i have been really under the weather. finally received my covid results, and i am negative. apparently, i have a head cold that has been exasperated by my breast infection. i met with the surgeon yesterday and we at least have a [beginning] plan of action. meanwhile, while I woke up, today, finally feeling an actual human , i can't seem to rid myself of this debilitating fatigue. i've slept more over the past week that i possibly have all month. maybe it's the change of seasons? i woke to rain yesterday and my heart felt so happy. i am a mid-season person. spring and fall bring me life. . because of my health struggles, i have been using my limited awake time to continue studying herbalism. i have become obsessed with plant medicine and herbal teas. goldenseal, ginger, organic local honey, lemon, and echinacea combined are extremely powerful medicines during the cold & flu seasons. and they contain antiviral properties. i've also been loading up on zinc, d3, vitamin c, and elderberry syrup. . i've been drinking golden milk, made with tumeric, daily (with almond, coconut, oat, or cashew milk + local honey and black pepper). tumeric is an anti-inflammatory medicine and aids with bacterial infections. oh, and i've been literally adding garlic to every dish i cook. it's one of the best things you can do for your health. your body will thank you ♡
𝙼𝙾𝙾𝙽 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶𝚂 ♡ 𝙼𝙾𝙾𝙽 𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙶𝚂 ♡ 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚'𝒔 𝒋𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒚 . the tides of my life are changing, once more. it's interesting how this happens, isn't it? i am a seeker; an inner reflector. and yet, about two years ago, i had fallen so deep into the rabbit hole, it's taken me almost that long to come back into myself - only, changed. i did so much transformative healing and research that mask after mask began to shed. ego death after ego death in such rapid succession that i no longer knew who i was anymore. i was no one, and yet, i was everyone - all within the same breath. i had a crisis of identity and a crisis of faith. . i had emerged from the dogma of the heavily doctrinated religion i was born into, moving fluidly, into spirituality. so much to unlock and unlearn. until i once again came to the decision that the "spiritual community" no longer served me. and as i spiraled, stumbled, and ultimately fell - i became acutely aware of all the ways mother gaia held me and nurtured me - rendered me whole. i have talked openly about my studies into mysticism, druidry, mediumship, constellations, nature, animals, and the old ways. the visions and longings of my soul - as well as the magic of words and poetry and how i often feel more animal than human. . and i realized that while i thought i was entering another tower moment (or another dark night of my soul), what was truly happening was acceptance and integration. i had to become aligned with what i truly feel and believe in order to be confident in speaking my truth. and while none of this was apparent at the time, what i did come to understand was that the purpose of life is to be happy, and in order to become truly happy, healing was necessary. for happiness begins and ends with the self, internally. lasting happiness cannot come from an external source. . i began to really contemplate what lit my soul ablaze and the first recognition of bliss was my writing. and yet, that seemed almost too simple, though in truth, words have always held magic in my heart. creating and crafting and all forms of artistic expression are likely the purest essence of my soul.
