There has been so much darkness, so much glitch and strife and difficult steps. \u00a0Nothing has come easy this year. \u00a0Ha! \u00a0An absolute suggests lies – there are things that have gone beautifully well and I have been repeatedly swept away by the generosity of the people around me.<\/p>\n
And yet, whenever I have tried to take a step forward, to make a different choice, a healthier movement into my future, I have been swept into a vortex of problems.<\/p>\n
I am tired of problems. \u00a0I am tired of glitches and snags and difficulties. \u00a0I am sick to death of failing.<\/p>\n It is the internal failing, the being lost to fear, doubt, deeper fear, guilt and shame. \u00a0Did I mention fear? \u00a0That leaves me broken. \u00a0And yet I get up again.<\/p>\n On Friday the 13th I got up to have friends share the evening with me. \u00a0We slow danced backwards and widdershins, holding anger, disgust, fear at our fingertips, and embraced the unknown of the future with determination, acceptance, and change.<\/p>\n We spent the evening in laughter and conversation, sipping mead and eating fabulous food. \u00a0Love overflowed and we knew ourselves privileged to be with other authentic people. \u00a0No lies, no veils, no masks, shadows welcome. \u00a0Honest of who we are, where we are, what we are.<\/p>\n The next day the Goddess embraced me in a new and deeper way. \u00a0She took my heart into her and holds it, safe. \u00a0The divine feminine flowed through me. \u00a0I was re-set and awoken into Her lines of power.<\/p>\n I do not know if I will arrive at where I seek. \u00a0The journey is long, painful, overwhelming. \u00a0I am not enough for Her service. \u00a0I am all in Her service.<\/p>\n Violet, Addendum. \u00a0The power of Halloween the 13th, as I liked to call this past Friday, struck many of us and in different ways. \u00a0I have been gifted with a view of myself<\/a>, spoken by the warrior bard on behalf of He with One Eye. \u00a0I thank my friend. \u00a0I thank the God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This weekend I danced with the divine feminine. \u00a0I swirled into chaos and darkness. \u00a0I laughed and loved.
