calling in the wild waters

Subscribers help support and sustain what's offered here, in the same way that reciprocity allows cycles to continue in nature and ecosystems to work in harmony. Whether you have a free or paid subscription, I’m so grateful for your presence here. Thank you.

Thank you for the moss, ferns, creek, bending trees, and spiraling roots that show us the sacred in everything.  Remind us to notice as we move quickly through our lives.  

Loosen our clenched fist and move us to open our hand with curiosity to the softness and wild edges.  What is being asked of us, given to us, and awakened in us?

Show us how to let go of healing as a destination and turn inward to healing as a process. 

Move the waters through our bodies. Like a ripple adding to the collective energy waves.  Like the way group prayer and shared intention affect the giver and receiver.

Illuminate the thought patterns and feeling states within us like the full moon.  May this honor the past cycle, our ancestors, and those to come.  

Help us acknowledge our path so we can surrender to the metamorphosis -- with great reverence for all that is.

Settle us like the sand, heavy on the waters edge, as we remember our presence with all that is alive within us and around us.  Stop us right here to witness the depths of our own mystery.

Help us to express what’s alive in us more fully when the flow of the water drowns out the sound of our voices.  Ground us to listen, receive, and breathe. 

Collect our fears in the waves passing by, carry them downstream so we can see them transform in the wild current.  We are learning new ways and we are grateful.  Awaken and walk with us as the ancient moss, ferns, and hemlocks guide us on the messy, wild, and beautiful path. 

Thank you for reading.
