I’ve wanted to talk to you about Love.
That’s all I want to talk about.
Because it’s in my bones, my breath, my muscles, and my skin.
It’s a sensation, a slip of a promise to stay so safe, it’s a risk.
It’s a reminder that this territory is laden with loss.
It’s this feeling I have that sharpens my breath and reminds my eyes to flutter and fold into themselves to make contact with the distinct flavor of surrender.
Because to arrive here is to leave behind. It is to leave an old life that didn’t have its arms open wide enough. Didn’t notice when the wind shifted from weather to wonder.
I’ve wanted to talk to you about what happens when Love moves beyond a person and into the world.
Because Love is wide(r).
Coming Home
I’ve wanted to talk more about the work/play/magick of Australia. And to be honest, it's still settling in.
This magick has a feeling of syrup, sticky and sweet. But like anything thick, it moves slowly and doesn't penetrate the skin easily.
But it's here. And there. And in all of the corners I forgot existed in my being.
I met Love Herself*. I've always known Her. But I came face to face with Her, and everything changed.
I watched my hand be Her hand. My eyes meet Her eyes meet my eyes.
I blinked as it was different.
I moved like Love.
I sang like Love.
I lay with Love.
From that place, from this place, I stepped into a love spell that I have been calling for years. I stepped into a way of being that feels like home, that shows me where to go next.
Love (often) makes us do things we dare not dream of in waking hours. Love dares us to step fully into ourselves because that is where we are powerful, where we have always been powerful.
I want you to know Love too. Or reconnect with Love.
Or jump into Her arms and never let go.
