Life Is Sexy

What do you desire?

Why, for so many of us, is that question so scary?

The things that make our hearts sing

Activities that bring sheer joy 

The clues are all there 

When we're lost in the moment 

Following our natural inclinations 

Doing what we are naturally drawn to 

Is desire always about sex?

No, but it's the same energy, I think 

Whether we're pampering ourselves in a delicious bubble bath 

Writing 

Painting 

Singing 

Gardening 

Bee keeping 

Developing a new podcast 

Walking through the woods

Going for a drive alone with your favorite music blasting, enjoying the feel of driving 

Helping to create a new program that will help people 

Cooking up amazing things in our kitchen 

Helping in our community 

Or making love to our partner 

I'm finally beginning to see 

That the same luscious energy

Drives all of it

If it makes your heart beat faster 

If it lifts you and gives you joy 

And does the same for others too!

Then that's the Divine within you 

It's okay to listen to that voice, that pull

This is how we're meant to live

Life is sexy 

Let's make love to it 

The Forest Within

Daughter of the Goddess

She walks, barefoot through the forest

The moss is soft underfoot 

The rain has stopped 

And sits in tiny, perfect spheres 

On the leaves

The sweet smell of all of the growing things surrounds her 

She stops to bring this life into her 

Breathing deeply 

Green 

Underfoot and overhead 

The stars twinkle between the branches 

And with the moon they kiss the forest

Like so many lanterns

Glowing 

The night wind caresses the forest 

Like a lover 

Who knows all of your secret places

She closes her eyes 

In these moments 

The love, the connection 

Is so exquisite 

Indeed the sweetest, most paradoxically heartbreaking, soul searing joy one can ever know 

It breaks you open

And in the breaking, you are made whole

She spins, dances

Hands reaching toward the stars 

Feet moving on the sweet earth 

Body swaying 

In this moment, she would take the Universe as her lover 

The heart's need 

To encompass all in this love 

The Winged Ones stand close by 

As she dances 

For she is also their own 

Falling down upon soft moss

She hugs her legs to herself 

And looks around 

She and the forest 

Breathe together 

Her senses are as one 

With all of the wild things 

A gift from the Horned One

There is no need in this moment 

Deep in the soft sacred places of the night 

You will find her lost in bliss like this 

In love 

At home 

You Are Yes

When you're standing on the hill

Seeing the entire view 

While you're driving to work 

And the cornflower 

Speaks revelations 

Breathing as one 

With the green things 

Never alone 

One with Good Company 

Time is relative 

Anything can happen 

And you're patient 

Because you called it 

Heritage and memory 

Knowing 

Smiling, you straighten your glasses 

One foot here 

And the other...

Let's Not

Let's not

Ignore our annoyance and impatience 

They're here for a reason 

Let's not reject our anger 

And cover it in daisies

It needs us to listen 

Let's not 

Whitewash things

When it's time for something 

That isn't working to end

Let's not 

Blow sunshine up everyone's collective asses

When our hearts are broken 

Let's not 

Put supposed to 

Before authenticity 

Let's not 

Clothe wildness and passion

In safety and "maybe next time"

No 

Let's not 

The blood knows what is true

The body

Is the temple of your soul 

When we choose to ignore 

The messages we receive 

From The Goddess

From Ourselves

They find another way out 

And when they do 

We're usually not happy 

With the doorway they've created 

But you see 

There had to be an opening 

A place to reside 

To be heard In some way 

It's the strangest truth 

That so often these strong emotions 

The ones we reject 

Have the most to teach us 

If we just sit with them 

Lean in 

Listen, hear them 

Allow it 

In all it's messy glory 

In hearing what the message is

That was being conveyed 

And granting ourselves 

The gift of a healthy outlet 

We can find a way forward

And know the gift of release 

So really

Let's not 

Witch Walk

Intimacy 

With winged family 

And the Goddess

Walking 

In the nourishing light 

Of Father

Falcon sight

Gift of one eye 

Senses

As one with the horned one

And all that live

In the green places 

Crows call

Wild upon each morning 

All and everywhere 

The Beloved is found 

A most passionate love

Leaning in to fear

Standing naked, clad in vulnerability 

Endless well of strength 

Borne of what the world terms weak

Brokenness becomes wholeness

Growth and light from the cracks 

Sifted, made new

Rhythm of our mother

Clothed in stars 

One with all 

We do the work 

We the energy 

The energy as one in us 

All at once

We are the alchemist 

And the gold
