It recently occurred to me that there are huge parallels between the Hero’s Journey and the Healing Journey. This is probably not new, but it hit me really powerfully and the idea is new to me, so maybe it’s new to you, too. Our Hero, let’s call them River, is living their life, doing whatever […]
In a clean room at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, engineers observed the first driving test for NASA’s Mars 2020 rover on Dec. 17, 2019. Scheduled to launch as early as July 2020, the Mars 2020 mission will search for signs of past microbial life, characterize Mars’ climate and geology, collect samples for future […]
It seems strange that in this time when I have contact with so few people that I am finding myself without words. You’d think they’d have piled up. Maybe it’s that I’m getting used to solitude and silence and words seem more precious now, to be “kept for Sunday best.” Or maybe it’s because I […]
Frienily, we have some healing to do, some deep deprogramming – if not reformatting altogether – and some relearning. And it is not going to be easy, or pretty. The dominant culture on this entire planet is designed to exclude non-white and non-male people from power. Occasionally somebody sneaks through, and thank goodness they do. […]

Anyone who does Reiki can tell you about distance healing. There’s a special symbol for it and everything. But nearly every energy modality, including sound […]
My one and only New Year’s Resolution for 2020 is to be more patient with myself. I have struggled my whole life with this issue, always putting way too much pressure on, blaming and shaming myself, and driving myself harder than I would ever drive anybody else. And even though I have grown leaps and […]
God, so I have come to understand Them, is formless. Not some old White dude who hasn’t shaved in 6000 years and hangs out in a bathrobe even more than Jeff Lebowski. They’re not somebody you can walk up to and carry on a conversation. They’re somebody you are actually in, like a fish is […]
When I knew I was going to have to take six weeks off to recover from my hysterectomy, I decided to read up on water. Water is right up there with oxygen when it comes to our survival. Gotta have pure, fresh water for the body to run on. And although I don’t have any […]
Have you ever been just gobsmacked by something, some song lyric or piece of poetry you memorized as a child without understanding, or some family ritual that seemed to make some kind of sense when you were little, or some song you used to sing in church that you never even thought about, when it […]
