Blessed Mother
Yours is the silence of the womb
Yours is the water that mutes sound
Yours is the pearl that grows in the oyster
Yours is the black marble palace,
waves lapping the shore,
sand melting in your embrace,
shells glistening in the faintest of moonlightBeloved Mother
Dance with me in the silence
Dance with me in the stillness
Dance with me in the darkness
Monday will be an interesting day.
* It’s a 5 day, which is Mankind reaching for the Divine
* There’s a Mercury transit. Basically, Mercury, who is in his retrograde (aka introspective) phase, in Taurus (grounding, physical, home-y), will get between us and the highest level of our higher self we have tangible access to.
* Earth is moving into a negative-polarity (receptive/pull/feminine) stream of solar wind.
* It’s Lumeralia, a Roman day of cleansing.
If you can, set aside some time to look within. Try to discover your blind spots. Work to release those habits and proclivities that increase your sense of separation. Acknowledge where you think you know better than others what is best for them (you don’t, sorry). Do a little bit of house cleaning (interpret that as you will).
In the Lakota medicine wheel, the Women’s Lodge is the place of silence. We are not particularly comfortable, in American culture, with silence. We fill our lives with noise and activity, increasing our baseline stress levels, and contributing to the conditions that create anxiety disorders. Monday, we go into the Women’s Lodge. You can fight it, but it won’t be comfortable, or you can honor the energy and work with it. Get quiet. But the electronics away. Breathe. Listen to the silence.
Be.
