… watching for the brushstrokes of God
Rituals arise from the land, surfacing through the bedrock and the soil, and enter the imagination of the people that live there… as a means of attuning ourselves with one another, to the land and the invisible world of spirit. ~ Francis Weller, The Wild Edge of Sorrow
How do you enter healing grounds?
“Don’t shrink. Don’t puff up. Just stand your sacred ground.” ~ Brené Brown

The beauty of art is that it allows you to slow down, and for a moment, things that once seemed unfamiliar become precious to you. ~ Kehinde Wiley

And the dirt
Just to make clear
where they come from ~ Charles Olson, These days

How will you emerge from covid hibernation? What are you hungry for? How rested are you?
