  • To Make Sacred

    New moons symbolize death, birth, rebirth, and seeds silently planted in the darkness; they mark the beginning and the end. Sacrifice, release, death, these are the fertile soul in which those seeds find nourishment to lay strong roots and fresh growth. The cycles of the moon remind us that everything has its time. As I think of this new moon, I see clearly in my mind the death card in tarot. For a butterfly to be born, a caterpillar must die. Neither can exist without the other. To navigate through the new moon energy, begin by dreaming your new reality. Our dreams only happen in the dark.

  • As We Pray

    This year is hard. I will not deny its brutality, but I can say that it has come with an unprecedentedly beautiful side. Through the horrors and trials, through the pain of truth, we as people have found a way. We have discovered the depths of our hearts. Everything is amplified. That includes love, compassion, and every stunning aspect of the human heart and spirit.
