the luscious wild ::

'we are wandering yet we are loved' from Women Who Run With the Wolves by clarissa pinkola estes
Art original. Text from Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
I grow quiet and the nights grow long. Seasons shift. Soul shifts. The year wanes, like a sleepy moon who casts the earth in pearl and retreats, ravished and satisfied, and exhausted.

I follow.

This space will lie fallow for now. I don't know what Next looks like. Perhaps I'll know tomorrow, perhaps next year. Today, tonight, right Now, I embrace my luscious and my wild. My gypsy and I, we have stories to weave.

It is a declaration and a promise, a complete memoir full of prophetic resonance, an ever-deepening truth ~

We are wandering, yet we are loved.
Namaste.

  2. I just wanted to add this morning that my Quiet means that I will be unfollowing a lot of *mailing lists* and *blogs* for now and indefinitely.

    I'm pulling in. This isn't a personal reflection on anyone else ... just my own space of stillness and silence and doing what I need to do. <3<3<3 Much love to all.

  3. I feel like I am in a constant state of shift recently. I know it's because right now I don't have room to move and that because of it I am putting my changes on hold. Every now and then it leaks out of me and I feel my soul try to leap forward into my own Next.
    Unfortunately I am at a time where I live with 3 people, take 6 college classes, and work 20 hours a week and have homework on top of that as well as relationship obligations. I don't feel like I'm allowed to pull in.

  4. TIs sad yet hopeful when seasons end. THis post reminds me of Autumn. I will miss the Rain:) Yet I understand that need. I wish you all the best healing, clarification, rest, growth, being, loving, creating...with no pressure at all. Life is tough enough without feeling like we owe everyone. We just owe our love to ourselves and then the love to those put in our path- sometimes it is sacrificial. Sometimes it is only what we need. I wish I could have you over for tea in my living room and we could listen to music which soothes and converse about the sting and beauty of life. I send so many prayers and wishes your way and I still hope we one day meet. This journey of yours will be so different from others no matter how similar you are...it will also have relatable parts for those who are different. I am glad you are doing what you need to do.
    With Love and Tenderness.

  5. P.S> I found Facebook the best thing to go off of when pulling away. Its surprising how much it minimizes the cacophony, manipulation, time and sway...also friendships are enriched- we can email, phone and chat outside of facebook more than we think...just a thought. I have seen lives transformed by going off of it and using alternatives...however ( a warning) there is a grieving/tempting period that is very tough. Anyway...:)

  7. Dear Rain, seems that quite a few are "pulling in" right now; it's an interesting cycle we're in, getting ready for the quieter times of Autumn. I look fowrard to your re-emergence.

  8. it is a difficult necessary balance to nurture the inside and stay connected, perhaps we will obtain the perfect balance in our great need to do so, and we will not know where one ends and the other begins, in every sense of those words...

  9. I understand the need to pull back and go deep. Many blessings to you on the journey.

  10. mmmm, feeling lulled... but only slightly. In the Southern hemisphere it is Spring. With weird and unpredictable weather. People cleaning up and out, sorting, confirming, slowly starting to awaken again. But just a few months ago, I found myself snuggling into the lazy weather; Being aware of shorter days and doing less, yet doing less in a way that allowed my roots to secure themselves, preparing for the upward and outward cycle that Spring now brings. How wondrous it was too find myself suddenly in Spring, with preparations made and footings found to hold up against the speed with which this season always takes us into the "silly season".

    Namaste ~

  13. This is so beautifully expressed and encapsulates real wisdom. The trees in the wordless wood embrace the quiet of the winter.
    I feel that you will wander well and draw deep things from your heart.

Please be respectful in your words. I am on a journey and this is a glimpse of it. I do not engage in debating nor do I choose to spend my energy defending what I write.
