Our Living Mother

Carla Golembe

“My political activism always grew out of my spiritual
understandings of the Earth as the living Mother
because the Goddess is injured wherever there is
injustice, wanton cruelty, poverty and pollution.”

~Mónica Sjöö

Earth Body, My Body

“What is acted out on the female body parallels the larger practices of domination, fragmentation, and conquest against the earth body, which is being polluted, strip-mined, deforested, and cut up into parcels of private property. Equally, this pattern points to the fragmentation of the psyche, which ultimately underlies and enables all of this damage.”

Time to Bloom

“If flowers can
teach themselves
how to bloom after
winter passes,
so can you.”

A Single Cloth

She who reconciles the ill-matched threads
Of her life, and weaves them gratefully
Into a single cloth – 
It’s she who drives the loudmouths from the hall
And clears it for a different celebration.”

~Rainer Maria Rilke

New Moon, New Year

Earthy new moon in Capricorn. And a new year is on the horizon.

Make room for deep inner reflection. Consider what has been in the past, then let it go with love and gratitude.

It’s time to lay the foundation for a new chapter in your story. What do you want to create going forward?
