Embodied Truth

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of each.” - Henry David Thoreau

The natural rhythms of a new season bring infinite possibilities for new beginnings. How often do we look back at the festivities past and wonder if we could have savored more in the moment? Now is a wonderful time to calmly prepare our body, mind, spirit, and space for the changing of the seasons. Reject the notion of the eternal spring, and allow yourself to ‘winter’ lovingly and slowly at home in your body, and in your tangible home.

This can look like making space for our creative pursuits and manifesting what we want to come into fruition as spring is lingering on the horizon, reviewing and renewing habits to make an inspired commitment to our overall wellness, and setting the foundation for abundance in all forms by “cleansing” and “detoxifying” internally (mind-body-spirit) and externally (physical and energetic spaces).

Which of these ritual cleansing practices resonates with you most?

When Ending Comes

Look into its eyes
until your tears make a Monet's garden of the landscape,
blurring the hard cliff edge
you will step beyond into emptiness.

When ending comes
Be alone with Sorrow
even if she refuses to speak to you,
let the silence become clay on a wound
that draws out your own hidden, essential words.

When ending comes
Greet it like a guest
that will destroy the house
but leave behind a golden cup
you will not know how to drink from right away.

When ending comes
Cradle it in your arms like an egg, warm it with your body
so that someday when your back curves around it with grief
the bared bones of your shoulders
will breathe out wings.
