Recently I sort of went off my hinges…my imagination is really large. My dreams have been speaking to me in cryptic messages which I am trying to decipher as of late. The skunk medicine of Summer is winding down as we ease into Fall.
I am currently immersed in a new volume of poetry that took ahold of me leading up to the culmination of the moon in July. I wrote it all in one day and it is the most soft and loving piece of work to land in. In all actuality, all of my work has been equal parts gentle and soft after meeting a fellow Gemini who brought me back to my core. Our time together has created a new narrative, and as I am on a new path, I have no idea what lies ahead.
Since you all are a part of my journey I feel comfortable sharing a brief excerpt of words from this new book in formation below:
i don’t know what i feel
when i look at you
and i gaze so deeply in your eyes
i lose the words
never do i lose the words
i always have the words
i always have the answers
or so i think i have the answers
or so i think i know
but now i just don’t have the words
i don’t know what to say
I am at a bit of a loss of energy as of late. Rest has been uneasy, and I have made some very grand life decisions that will set into motion in the coming months. I have been comforting my nervous system with Jazz and Ruth Etting as of late as I feel the energetic pull of Persephone returning to the depths. More baths, more water, more swimming. I have been thinking of collaging for years. Maybe it’s time to start.
Sadness was trying to consume me once more, and amidst the attempt to bring me back to the wallows, something starting playing for me out of the blue. It was faint, and at first I thought it was someone else’s song, as I approached my device, I realized it was my own spoken words~and it said:
with you
there’s ease
everything feels good
everything feels right
everything feels sound
and i can trust again
i trust myself
i trust myself with you
i trust you
and i know without even knowing
without even sharing a word
that we’ll both be okay
Today I don’t feel strong, and that’s okay.

Written under a Leo sun and an Aries moon feeling like all this fire has me a bit worn out.

p.s. If I can share a big ask, I would love if you shared my newsletter with one person whom you know likes to read and may enjoy it.
