The First Harvest.
In Arizona, the first day back to school.
The first week since the event that sent me in a helicopter down the mountain.

I am doing all the things. I am talking, albeit carefully. I am walking, also carefully. I still have problems in my left eye, but my right eye seems willing to compensate. I am reminded that my ma was born blind in one eye and never allowed that to stop her.

I have canceled classes and sessions this week to get my bearings and to recover. I cannot put these off longer, as my financial situation is precarious enough, but also I acknowledge that my work is my life, and always has been.

Working to get all the pt and speech, as well as establishing new doctors. Ari Bara says I am kicking ass, and maybe I am, but I honestly feel a deep surreal sense, almost like part of me has been to the Otherworld, and I have not really completely returned.

I continue to express my gratitude, for the energy, spells, prayers and healing vibes. No doubt you all pulled me away from the precipice!

May all of your Harvests be abundant in love, peace, joy and prosperity! 💜💜💜

A new blog post is up! 💜

We are living in a highly polarized world. The issues permeating our social media, news and social circles are incredibly vitriolic, adding to the stress of daily life such as jobs, money, relationships and personal health. The question becomes, what can we DO about it?I have been an activist all my...

I have been blending oils and herbal healing for well over a decade now, with Tea Blends and unique Oil Infusions. I can create a scent specifically for a particular concern, or one for your unique character that is just yours! In addition, as a traditional herbalist, I can blend herbal teas for healing that taste good and focuses on naturopathic healing!

I am feeling this today for a number of reasons. I am NOT always light and love, and I am not always calm and peaceful. There is work to be done and there are things happening that I cannot stomach. I will not be silent and I will not sit down.

Rise, my people. There is much at stake.

Morrigan

There will come a time
When I am not so nice….
I will lose my mind yes
In the bu****it vice.
And scream beyond
To the seas, mountain tops
That we are more, all
Than the ratings pops
And the angry desperate
Voices of retro fears
Who grasp at old tradition
Despite the lamenting tears.
Rising in a fiery pole
Against the funeral pyre
As flames through fingertips
I unleash my raging fire.

I will garner the ancient souls…

Who like me are raging,
As this is war, no more placating.
Only to fear my own wrath waging.
Beware what you are unleashing
In my bones, I feel a deepening
On the battlefield screeching,
Ears covered in agony, beseeching.
To your false prophets kneeling.
Satan, your prayers manifesting
Happy to take you to a church meeting.
Where the self-righteous, the lying…
Will be waiting in glee, terrifying.
Oh, yes, My Daughters in mist rising.

So I will come, you see. Not so nice.
Not pretty, no clothes, no smile.
Wielding a Sword in a Murder of Crows.
You will walk the proverbial green mile.

For suppression, regression, hate.
Forcing the multitudes to bow.
When you knew all along your error.
These will be the seeds that you sow.

There is no stopping me…
I am where the forgotten lie.
A warrior, a giver and taker of life.
I will not submit. I would rather die…

The Box

Not much of a let goer, my bane,
So I did let my first love pass
Into the hopeless chest, two times.
The second love eased that sorrow
Alas left me in San Fransisco and
I added that to the box with the other.
A brief marriage they call a rebound
Provided a baby, not box material.
A third love I married, after chasing
Him down and convincing him.
Twenty years later I added him
To that overflowing chest of coulda
Woulda and why didn’t its.
I didn’t realize you can love them all
At the same time, their departures
Broke me a little, and yet I kept
Those loves and visited that box
Too many times and with no mercy.
I opened the crate so not to hate
And found myself in the corner
Wondering how I became so small?
That was the match that lit the fire,
To release the flames into a pit
And said goodbye to all the loves
I held and held and held for all the
Years since I was seventeen, naive.
I find joy in my solitude, peace in
My garden with my children and
My circle becoming ever dearer as
I became love so big that I could
No longer fit in the corner of my
Love chest and indeed conquered
Fears even as loss continued to
Hit me like the tide to an old stone
Wharf polishing my grief to a
Glossy shine while I live my life
And realize I no longer need the box
Because instead of letting go I
Let others in and that is well too
Much love for one vessel to hold.
