Yay. We have given the sky much to cry about for a good cleanse. Everyday miracles.

What a wonderful statement. “It feels like redemption.” Thank you. The sound of my voice within as I read it was redeeming.

Hi 👋 Starhawk. Autumn is renewal to me. Lovely leaves and colours. Even the smell of leaves captivates my senses. My fave season. Rain is needed for greenery and flowers and growth. I’m so saddened about the violence and sheer hatred being unleashed lately in your USA as well as even in my Canada and elsewhere. But renewal of our hearts are happening and I believe we’ll all show our true colours soon. Bright happy colours of love and hope and peace. It’s happening in us right now and will manifest alright. Blessed be🙏

Lovely reflections always! Thank you, dear one. Here is a haiku I wrote tonight after catching the season’s first raindrops on my happy, grateful tongue:

* autumn’s first raindrops

* catch one on my eager tongue

* best wine in the world.

~~~I am a mystic poetess, birthing my first book of mystic & goddessy poetry at age 60! (Beautiful Late Bloomer) 🌻 Thought you’d enjoy that one. I’m in the Bay Area too, so this post was perfectly synchronized.

Blessed Be! 💧💧💧

Lovely! Reminds me of one I wrote:

After a long drought

Rushing stream sings, ocean bound

Sweeting of all sounds!

Hello friend! I’ve been on here just over a week, and I’m trying to meet interesting new people, so I thought I’d comment.

I share a philosophical look into historic books, sharing what some call “alternative” history.

My latest article is about Tartaria:

we are still praying hard--here in the land of "The iron forests" so brag Vermonters.

Here on the extreme East Coast we are experiencing a drought and high forest fire danger.

Beautiful but dry days rain barrels all empty.

and yes we have much to cry about and RESIST !
