The Gods are Still Here

May 25

I believe in a spirituality grounded in the Earth, connected with place, seasons, and the more-than-human others all around us (foxes, bids, rivers, mountains, trees,etc.)

My research takes me down the roots of ancestral knowings and flip through the literature to find out which Gods and Goddesses my ancestors venerated. 

But the spirituality of the Earth is still here. 

In the ground. Under my feet and all around me. 

Whether they be Krishna, Jesus, Buddha, Diana, Apollo, Thor, Odin, or any other SpiritGod that manifested in a specific time to a specific people IN a specific Place. The Gods/esses are STILL here.

In the bones and in the mountains, probably waiting for us humans to remember our place of Human Beings, and give gifts of Beauty and Tears.

So yes to ancestral reconnection and yes to spirituality of place.

The sacred is all around. Praying that my ears may open enough to hear the thousand voices sharing their song.

Trust Your Path

October 27, 2012

You will be born as a seed and sprouted like a flower onto the sacred, hurting Earth.

You will come at a perilous time.

Despair and confusion in the eyes of your brothers and sisters. Sacredness and beauty forgotten.

The forest will whisper your name.

Indigenous songs will remind you.

Have faith. Breathe. Hold onto signs, smells, intuitions.

Follow the path; like a hunter stalk your pray. Dream. Dance. Sing.

Your every step will become a prayer.

Shoes, socks will fall. Your naked feet touching moist soil.

You will begin to remember.

Trust. Trust.

Your path.
