Grief Work

December 18, 2020 by Nancy Lankston Leave a Comment

If you come as softly
As wind within the trees
You may hear what I hear
See what sorrow sees.
If you come as lightly
As threading dew
I will take you gladly
Nor ask more of you.
You may sit beside me
Silent as a breath
Only those who stay dead
Shall remember death.
And if you come I will be silent
Nor speak harsh words to you.
I will not ask you why, now.
Or how, or what you do.
We shall sit here, softly
Beneath two different years
And the rich earth between us
Shall drink our tears.

~Audre Lorde

Solstice Eclipse Portal

June 20, 2020 by Nancy Lankston Leave a Comment


This is the solstice, the still point
of the sun, its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold
and unlocking, where the past
lets go of and becomes the future;
the place of caught breath, the door
of a vanished house left ajar…

~Margaret Atwood

Full Moon in Cancer with a Side of Pluto

January 9, 2020 by Nancy Lankston Leave a Comment

Full moon in watery Cancer, the nurturing mama sign. The high emotions of a Cancer moon are compounded by a lunar eclipse. Meanwhile, Pluto is busy blowing up Saturn’s old, out-dated rules and structures right and left.

Things are getting REAL Who knows what will happen next? Stop trying to figure it all out – nothing makes logical sense right now. If you’re feeling stirred up, anxious or really vulnerable, you are not alone! The craziness is getting difficult to ignore. 

Make self-care a priority. Do something nurturing and loving for yourself every single day. And if you cannot figure out how to relax and calm down on your own, please find a healer or therapist who can help. You are important – we need you healthy and happy. 💗

Sometimes getting still and listening deeply is exactly what we need.

Earth Teach Me

January 1, 2019 by Nancy Lankston Leave a Comment

Earth, Teach Me to Remember

Earth, teach me stillness
as the grasses are stilled with light.

Earth, teach me suffering
as old stones suffer with memory.

Earth, teach me humility
as blossoms are humble with beginning.

Earth, teach me caring
as the mother who secures her young.

Earth, teach me courage
as the tree which stands alone.

Earth, teach me limitation
as the ant which crawls on the ground.

Earth, teach me freedom
as the eagle which soars in the sky.

Earth, teach me resignation
as the leaves which die in the fall.

Earth, teach me regeneration
as the seed which rises in the spring.

Earth, teach me to forget myself
as melted snow forgets its life.

Earth, teach me to remember kindness
as dry fields weep in the rain.

~A prayer from the North American Ute tribe

Solstice By Moonlight

December 20, 2018 by Nancy Lankston Leave a Comment

 

‪Full moon in watery Cancer lights up the longest night in the northern hemisphere. This is a traditional time of rest and reflection. Sit in the stillness of winter solstice and breathe with the slow flow of nature in winter. Slow down and enjoy the quiet gifts of the season.
