Gratitude
So much gratitude

For you
The moon
The sun
And the stars

The Cosmos
The infinite
Great Spirit

This moment
This day
My breath
My life

My teachers
And my teacher’s teachers

My students

Mother Earth
And all beings that dwell upon her

The unseen worlds
And between the worlds

Curiosity

Family

The helpers and guides

The return of the light

And a new cycle through the seasons titled 2023

May we be blessed on this journey together

Thank you for your presence in my life.

Words…..

In honor of an intersection of so many holy days, may this poem celebrate the rebirth and rise of consciousness in you:

I have a responsibility to the words I speak. Each sound I evoke from the space of my face expresses the values of my deepest and truthful heart song. Words do not exist in my reality as leaks of projection, poisonous arrows of blame, or weapons of ridicule. They have been given for me to combine through the artistry of will as catalysts of healing resolve for all who enter my sphere of influence. I have a responsibility to the words I speak. Unfazed by the behavior of those who misuse their power as a desperate plea to be acknowledged for all the ways their innocence has shut down in the aftermath of mistreatment. For it is never my intention or assertion to do harm to any person, when the gift of interaction makes it so obvious to see the opportunity at hand to only look down on a person I am helping to lift back up.

I have a responsibility to the words I speak. Not as thoughtful verbal gestures solely reserved for those who enter politely or lead with compliments. For if you are a person who has entered the field of my awareness, it could only be to receive the love I provide, simply in exchange for marveling at the unfathomable tapestry of your majestic existence. I have a responsibility to the words I speak. To unite in response to any lingering fight. To unite instead of needing to be right. To unite and awaken divine power as light. To unite inclusivity with all my might. I have a responsibility to the words I speak. An acceptance of power I call no one out for ignoring or forgetting, since it is through the sounding of eternal presence that rights each wrong, heals all wounds and redeems the brightness of every soul each time my mouth is prepared to open.

I have a responsibility to the words I speak. A gift of equality from my heart to yours.

All for Love,

Matt Kahn

Yes please

You are not required to rescue anyone from the conflicted feelings they have in response to their perception of you. That’s called co-dependency. Friendship is an exchange of encouragement and support. When someone else is twisted up by something in your life and cannot be okay until you have been swayed to their view of reality, it is neither an act of encouragement nor support. As a result, I encourage you to seek out those who support your journey and are instilled with the confidence of knowing how capable you are of facing each moment, overcoming obstacles, and even learning from choices however it makes sense to you. It’s one thing when you ask a friend for advice in a moment of need, doubt or indecision. Yet, it’s an entirely different dynamic when someone requires you to embrace what they insist you must see and do -- with no regard, respect, or concern for the subjective truth and sovereignty of your experience. This is the heart of acceptance.

All for Love,

Matt Kahn

This so uplifting…. Monarch butterfly medicine. Transformation! Joy…. as their numbers are greatly increasing.

Phil Torres of The Jungle Diaries has recorded the sounds of a million or more butterflies fluttering in the Mexican rainforest.

Today, we celebrate and honor Brigid—the ancient Celtic Goddess of water and fire, the holy well and sacred flame. In ancient times, nineteen priestesses kept her eternal flame burning in Kildare. When Christianity took over, she became a saint, and her priestesses were replaced by nuns. In recent years, the Brigadine nuns have relit her sacred flame.

Once again, in her honor, women of spirit lead pilgrimages and ceremonies in Ireland and around the world. And this year, Ireland has declared her festival time to be a national holiday.

If you want to learn more about Brigid, I highly reccommend Mary Condren’s book, The Serpent and the Goddess!

Brigid presides over the arts of smithcraft, poetry, and healing. In this time of so much sickness, of body and soul, I offer this poem to her and all of us:

For Brigid in the Second Year of the Pandemic

Brigid, the Healer

We know the body’s miracle capacity
To mobilize
To guard its borders
To fight off intruders
To repair the damage once the battle is done

Not all battles can be won
And sometimes the damage is too great to mend
And sometimes the weapons are lies

Brigid of the Forge

It takes fire to make disparate metals blend
To an alloy stronger than either alone
And blow after blow
Of the hammer
To forge a keen edge you can hone
A sword to cut through flesh and splinter bone
Or a scalpel, sharp to excise
The cancer

How do we discern what we must know
From desire in disguise?
Not every question has an answer

Brigid the Poet

Truth sets the tongue on fire
Truth can cauterize
The suppurating sore
Truth can forge and anneal
But we need more
Hammer on anvil rings like a bell

May we drink from your clear well
And heal

When He Thinks There's No One Home

I’ve been thinking about the coming year and what we, humanity, have experienced especially these past two years.

I remember my precious grandmother’s accolade I heard through the years, “You know, she’d smile wisely, the third time IS the charm.”

Grandma, if you are listening, we could really use some of your most magical help here. This coming year IS our third go-around it seems. Grandma always did make things better.

I’ve thought about the many happy new year’s greetings flying through the ethers. We really do need some happy and these are beautiful blessings to share.

I’ve been thinking about what actually makes happy. Not just me happy but all of us happy.

Above all else humanity and really all sentient beings needs to thrive. Thriving covers it all; physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

So in my prayers for all those I’ve had the good fortune to meet and share life with and all those across the earth, Pachamama, I’ve yet to meet I pray that we all thrive going forward. Yes, thriving would indeed make a very happy new year.

In love and light,

A

I would like to offer my gratitude for each of you. This year was filled with many courageous and loving hearts that blessed me with their presence.

I am eternally filled with this same gratitude every time I witness your courage to heal, stretch, and grow that you can live your lives with purpose and passion.

May the coming year be filled with blessings and continued growth as we each strive to be even more who we are meant to be.

In love and light,
