This late summer, honor the Sun’s radiant peak,
acknowledging the fiery energy that fueled growth.
Give thanks for the blessings received,
the vibrant green, the abundant harvest, and the joy of being.
As the days shorten, and the nights lengthen their embrace,
contemplate the shifting balance of light and dark.
Release what no longer serves,
like the falling leaves returning to the earth.
Turn inwards, preparing for the quiet introspection of the coming seasons,
drawing strength from the cycles of nature, a testament to renewal.
In the spirit of the Oak and Holly Kings, forever intertwined,
embrace both the vitality of the present and the wisdom of letting go.
Connect with the ancient rhythms, the turning of the Wheel,
knowing that even in the stillness, the promise of new life awaits.
This is a time for quiet gratitude, for embracing the mystery,
and for recognizing a place within the interconnected web of all things.
Let the late summer light inspire reflection,
and let the beauty of nature’s turning be a reminder of life’s eternal dance.

SACRED SPACE

Each day a bit more held
A bit more solid
A bit more subtle
A little brighter & lighter
Each day, returning
Surrender feels safer, softer now
Settled in skin
Steady in sight
Straight in spine
Sober in mind
Centered in Self
~
The silence stopped being so loud
The noise died down
Nothing but space
All the space in the world
~
But the grief, it stuck around
A love with nowhere to go
Begging to be made
By breath into prayer
~
And so I pray
Every day
Love’s devotee,
Beloved longing
Here at the altar of aching adoration
A broken heart is the prerequisite
Tears are the offering
The Goddess does love the way they glisten like diamonds
Tickling the cheek
Softening the skin
She whispers, “surrender…
Break open that beautiful heart
I’ve got you”
~
I soak up the silence
In stillness sensing the subtle sound of sweet memories made in love
You gave me space, so I made it sacred
~
In my sweet sacred space
I meet my Beloved,
Everyday,
With a heart broken open
Offering tears at the altar,
Of my undying Love
It was always you, Beloved
And You were always Here
~
I let go
And all that was left
was Love…
~
…And this time,
Love is enough.
