Fire on the Mountain

Published by on June 2, 2006 | Leave a response

What? It’s June already? How did that happen? I’ve been off being fiery. Yes, me, fiery; whad’ya mean that’s weird?! You’re right, of course. My energies could usually be described as a fairly calm mix of earth, air and even a bit of water thrown in for good measure. But fire has been a challenge. […]

Rain, Rain

Published by on May 14, 2006 | 1 Response

Another in quite a string of rainy days. I like rain, though, especially after such a lack of precipitation this winter. The trees and plants are soaking it up, and I know the next sunny day we have will glow with their green vibrance. This morning we all slept in a bit, enjoying the downpour […]

A New Poem I Wrote Yesterday

Published by on May 14, 2006 | Leave a response

EarthFire Dancing on the edge of fireIsn’t as easy as it looks,Nor as hard.An art, to find that sure place within,Just the right stepsTo invoke heat and flame,Warmth and pleasure,But not the lethal infernoThat consumes as it purifies.My feet grow weary,My skin parched –But I grin,Warm to the bones,Whirling to the rhythmsOf the earth’s deepest […]

Dancing with Change

Published by on May 12, 2006 | Leave a response

I have an interesting relationship with change. For one thing, I do it a lot. I’m not the same person I was last week, let alone months or years ago. I feel that this is a good quality, as I like to think I’m learning and growing, and that changing my viewpoint or expanding my […]

A Good Omen

Published by on May 10, 2006 | Leave a response

Last summer I went to a Reclaiming camp for the first time, Vermont Witch Camp (VWC) to be precise. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. My studies there allowed me to reach a deeper place of connection with Nature, and a more consistent experience of being in my entire body […]

Amazing Beltane

Published by on May 7, 2006 | 1 Response

I’m up early on a Sunday when I don’t have to be, which for a night owl like me is just plain weird. But I couldn’t sleep any longer; I’m still filled with wild zingy energy from celebrating Beltane. I’ve had such a wonderful time, and I’m so thankful to be feeling so strong and […]

The Joy of Yoga

Published by on April 27, 2006 | 1 Response

I’ve ramped up my home practice of yoga recently, with more vigorous posture flows and more challenging poses. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, but Quester and I, back in the fall, had agreed to do yoga together on a regular basis. He was still working on releasing some recurring lower-back pain, […]

Strong Women

Published by on April 25, 2006 | Leave a response

I went out to dinner tonight with two of my favorite women in the world, my Mom and my friend LM. We had such fun! I love the conversations that evolve when women have time to sit and chat. When I was younger, I didn’t have lots of girlfriends. I was too shy, and didn’t […]

Unschoolish Weekend in Progress

Published by on April 16, 2006 | Leave a response

With Quester focused on his recording session with the band, the kids and I have been spending the first part of the weekend together. Yesterday they went up the coast with my parents, to see an old ship that’s docked in one of the quaint little coastal towns. Then, after I was done work, we […]

The Homestead

Published by on April 15, 2006 | Leave a response

Right now as I write, Quester and the rest of the band are down in the basement, in their studio, recording basic tracks for the first Freakwitch album. I love having them here, working their creative musical magick. For many years, we’ve opened our various homes to Quester’s musical projects. When those homes were apartments […]
