Hello dear Earthling,

How are you doing with this great churning? As our social fabric and sacred attention are stretched and tested, I hope you're finding ways to pause -- to feel the earth beneath you, the deep sky overhead, and to draw nourishing breath into your lungs.

In the cycle of the year, we have arrived at that mythic moment when Persephone lights her lamp to begin her ascent from the Underworld. It's a time of quickening, when we begin to sense something within us slowly waking up, perhaps growing restless.

Lighting the Path

As that inner seed stirs and the outer world heaves, the path forward isn't 100% clear. So we're called to stay strong in our convictions yet supple in our way-making. Yes, the stakes are high. Can we tap into a renewed dedication to what we hold dear?

Clarity, Not Overwhelm

In the chaos and spin of the moment, it's time to pour our very best into what is ours to do. Not to wear ourselves out. Not to add undue weight to our days. But to sift out the false shoulds, sort signal from noise, and infuse our chosen actions with the power of our earth-rooted truth.

Imagining New Possibilities

This is a time of re-visioning for many of us, making space for new and unexpected directions to take shape. We are still in the pre-dawn hours of a profound emergence, but this is a crucial time to feed and water what lives at the core. How do you create and sustain the trust of this core nature, your inner Earthling?

Yours on the journey,

P.S. I'll be in touch soon with an important invitation to re-center our ecospiritual wisdom, helping light the path ahead.

Meanwhile, this piece from Waging Nonviolence can be a good reminder for re-setting your compass toward powerful transformation even in times of chaos. With Neptune entering Aries this year, we are entering a period of time that calls for spiritual and visionary warriorship. What better way for this to express than through disciplined nonviolent action?
