Respite, Regeneration, Re-Creation . . .



Last night I returned home with a car full of groceries at the end of a busy day. It was already dark. The moment I stepped out of the car I realized I was looking toward the Lodge. I could almost hear the humming as she prepares for Saturday Night's ceremonial extravaganza. I felt her calling as if she were saying I'm ready, anytime now . . .

More and more she calls these days. Perhaps because the world seems to be going crazy around us and so her harmony is more discernable amid the dissonance.

We must not allow the fear and polarization that surrounds us to swallow us down or knock us under - even through the seduction of busy-ness, especially through the seduction of busy-ness. Slow down enough to know your own needs.

Care for yourselves, whatever way you know how, and remember She is here. Calling out in the dark, with open arms. Solace for the heart, balm for the weary Spirit.
