Don’t be satisfied with stories,
how things have gone with others.
Unfold your own myth.

Your Own Myth
Everything is the Path
Here we are in our humanness, in our grumpiness, in our glory, in our sexiness,
in our dirty dishes, in our exhaustion, in our irritation and in our genius.
Gradually, with practice, we begin to see that the way
life shows up is not an error or deviation from Her.
There is nothing to quickly overcome so we can get back to our lives
and back to our spiritual path. The Goddess reveals that all of this is Her;
all of this is holy. There is nothing we need to get rid of.
Everything we experience is the path.
~ Chameli Devi Ardagh

A Prayer for Today
…When the light switch turns let me feel
how my small life leaps into being in the One Life,
the way a flame becomes itself in the fire.
My life has known how to do this
from the start. It wants to do it.
Help me live what is already true
Help me to know it.

excerpt from Ironing in
Being Home; A Book of Meditations
by Gunilla Norris
We Have Forgotten
“we have forgotten that we were born
of celestial cataclysm.
we have forgotten how to dance
bare-footed on the earth to the cadence
of our souls. we have forgotten the ritual
fires and the acrid tang of holy smoke
on our tongues.”

It’s time, sacred woman,
It’s time to share the song of your Soul.
Love Can Help Me Know My Name
Today in the car, this song came on and I got the chills – literally! Apparently, it was precisely what I needed to hear. Which song? It was Love’s Divine by Seal, who is one of my favorite mystic songwriters:
Then the rainstorm came, over me
And I felt my spirit break
I had lost all of my, belief you see
And realized my mistake
But time threw a prayer, to me
And all around me became still
I need love, love’s divine
Please forgive me now I see that I’ve been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Through the rainstorm came sanctuary
And I felt my spirit fly
I had found all of my reality
I realize what it takes
‘Cause I need love, love’s divine
Please forgive me now I see that I’ve been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Oh I, don’t bend (don’t bend), don’t break (don’t break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won’t forsake
‘Cause love can help me know my name
Well I try to say there’s nothing wrong
But inside I felt me lying all along
But the message here was plain to see
Believe me
‘Cause I need love, love’s divine
Please forgive me now I see that I’ve been blind
Give me love, love is what I need to help me know my name
Oh I, don’t bend (don’t bend), don’t break (don’t break)
Show me how to live and promise me you won’t forsake
‘Cause love can help me know my name
Love can help me know my name.
by Seal
We are…
I want to share a little gem I found on Facebook this week:
Today Honor the Women
Today is International Women’s Day.
The Goddess does have a sly sense of humor… it is lined up with a total Solar Eclipse!
Now is the perfect time to honor the women in your life – including yourself!
