I’ve been wanting to write about Mabon since, well, since Mabon! This is the hardest turning of the Wheel for me, the one that I feel might just roll over me. Mabon is the Second Harvest, the second chance to gather that which has been planted. And after Mabon, there is only Samhain, the Final [...]

Living, Learning, and Teaching
Posted in Daily Struggles, Spirituality, tagged Add new tag on July 23, 2008 | 10 Comments »
I’m blogging today, not because I really feel that I have something of import about which to write but because I so desperately need this time of just sitting still and reviewing where I am and maybe where I am going.
My Beloved and I were chatting the other day about her upcoming visit. She mentioned [...]
Homesickness

nI hesitate to post here, as if I am a trespasser in this place that I created, as if I need your permission to be here, your validation..nearly invitation..to take all of these crazy bottled ideas and splash them around in a bubbly frenzy. And who is this “you” that I so need?? Who knows!
I [...]
What is being lost?
Posted in Daily Struggles, Spirituality, tagged change, fear, friendship on January 8, 2008 | 12 Comments »
So, I’ve already said that I am transitioning again (still?) and that it is a huge change. It seems to me that even the change is changing, becoming both more and less of what I expected it to be. And it seems that, in the changing, some things are being lost.
I know deeply that change [...]
Back to Basics
Posted in Abuse Issues, Daily Struggles, Meme on December 29, 2007 | 7 Comments »
Mother Wintermoon, one of my favortie blog spots to visit, made reference to a Meme that I just had to check out, one for survivors of abuse that she found at Survivors Can Thrive. I had to do this one now, in the midst of all that is new and changing, because it is very [...]
Earth Shattering

Have you ever had an experience that, even in the middle of it, you know that you know that you will never be the same? Those “Uh-oh” experiences that rock your world? Those moments of awareness that tell you that your whole life just changed and the events that set that change in motion started [...]
Grief
Posted in Daily Struggles, Spirituality on November 16, 2007 | 12 Comments »
I think grief is a sneaky thing, finding its way back into the center of my Self about the time that I’ve decided that I’m feeling okay. Grief never comes when I am expecting it, when I am ready to meet it on my terms. Samhain seems the time for grieving, if one must grieve [...]
I Summon
Posted in Daily Struggles, Spirituality on November 7, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Today I summon quiet. I do not need the world around me to sit in silence or still the busy bustling rush. I need the soul quiet. Today I summon into myself the energy of non-motion. My emotional and spiritual pond has been rippled and ripped. Today I allow it to return to stillness. All [...]
And the journey continues!

It’s been a few days since I blogged, not because I have nothing to say but because it sometimes seems hard to find the voice to say those things with. It seems that so much is going on in so many different areas of my life that it becomes a rushing noise instead of a [...]
Re-Wilding of my Self
Posted in Daily Struggles, Spirituality, tagged femininity, Women Who Run with the Wolves on October 20, 2007 | 13 Comments »
I’ve been thinking of this post for days, wandering around my own being trying to find what it is that this feels like, this urgent grieving that is happening in the core of me.
Before I try to explain it, lasso this thing within me, I want to explain the way that I’m using the word [...]
