You have seen and unseen allies. Draw upon their strength. Join forces with friends and flourish.
Today I focus on the good and happy Spirits in my life. The ones that build me up instead of tearing me down. I am rich with the joy and beauty brought to me by my friends.

Beware of false prophets Individual expression is stirring Good news and abundant energy Look within and choose your path, avoid fanciful choices Harness the power of the unconscious mind to affect change and healing Intuition is more reliable than intellect at this time Temporary withdrawal brings peace and gives time for planning next move Completed cycle, well done You have come to know and be at peace with yourself Using skills within a group to achieve a goal Inner work and self reflection You know what you want from the situation you are in Do not exclude those with a genuine interest in you Strength in reserve Stored energy is now released for healing Embracing a new vision with compassion
Shield brother calls to beg me get a message to his girl ancestors stirring, sending messages through our own across the world I am listening, I am following as warriors of the light can only do we ride rootless on heavy medicine every day until our lives are through
CHORUS 1 we ride rootless on heavy medicine disconnected from the ground we ride rootless in dark places unafraid that we might fall or die or drown we are working, we are tireless we are seekers of the way we ride rootless on heavy medicine and we live to fight another day
Time to do the work while my bones and blood are wild with lessons learned and secrets shared Friends and lovers help me put my armor back together and never let me leave home unprepared My comrade sets his fiddle to his shoulder and I know today there’ll be no turning back. We’ll ride rootless on heavy medicine unashamed of what we lack
CHORUS 2 We ride rootless on heavy medicine disconnected from the ground We ride fearless in dark places hearts in danger but our spirits safe and sound We are working, we are tireless singing songs to stir the sky We are honor bound to share these visions walking tall and getting by walking tall when we don’t fly
Dirt beneath my nails I claw my way home from the forest just as crazy as before but I am breathing and I am laughing taking one step at a time bringing truth from door to door and I’m not the only one one of many unafraid to open eyes or heart or mind We ride rootless on heavy medicine and we do it all the time
CHORUS 3 We ride rootless on heavy medicine disconnected from the ground We ride windward across the wasteland skin in danger but our hearts all safe and sound We speak the language of song and shadow We are tenders of the flame We ride rootless on heavy medicine and from day one we’ve never been the same
CHORUS 4 We are healers working retail or working graveyard without pay We tell stories in our circle We listen or we dance or we just pray We are working, we are tireless We are teachers of the way We ride rootless on heavy medicine and we walk it every day
CHORUS 1
END COUNTERMELODY: we are here so the stories get told don’t give up ride out be bold build the fire bright and strong speak your truth and sing your song
you are here so the stories get told goddess bless your weary soul raise your voice to call the cry storytellers never die
goddess bless your weary heart tried and tested, torn apart holding hands around the flames healed and whole we rise again
goddess bless your weary soul we are here so the stories get told and we live to fight another day

The neighbor just pulled up in his car playing this song loud. Usually he’s playing (what I call) gangster music, so this was out of the ordinary, most likely a message for me ….. “believe me”.
Well, it’s not far down to paradise, at least it’s not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see Believe me.
It’s not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again. Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see. Believe me.
Sailing takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me When I’m sailing All caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony Won’t you believe me?
Sailing takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free
Well it’s not far back to sanity, at least it’s not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see. Believe me.
Sailing takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free
And the other night I saw names sort of attached to a stalk, like brussel sprouts. The names were being drawn away from the stalk, some came lose, and some snapped back to the stalk, magnetized … vibrationally linked.
Manage your energy.
Keep your thoughts light, your heart happy and your energy clean. Purge negativity and fear, do not let it reside in you.
“Well, in our country,” said Alice, still playing a little, “You’d generally get to somewhere else – if you run very fast for a long time as we’ve been doing.”
“A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
The lessons of your life are taking place at a fast rate – far to swiftly for you to process them!! It seems you are only just keeping up with all the changes coming to you! You must work very hard to make any discernable progress, for now. You have been trying to get ahead, and yet you always seem to be in the very same place. This could be in almost any aspect of life – your finances, career or success. At this point in time, the answer is to work even harder.
You will not have to do this much work, with this much effort, perhaps ever again. But the only way out of your current situation is to accelerate, get intense and push for the breakthrough that is just ahead of you. You will need to devote more time than you would wish, and sacrifices will need to be made. However, if you do this, you will push through the resistance and explode into the next stage of your life.
Put all your effort into surging ahead and watch as you begin to move, in the tiniest of ways, ahead of where you have been. Once you take that lead, stay focused on where you are going and you will begin to leave the place you find yourself in now. When you push through, others will recognize the incredible dedication you have to your own life. This will inspire them to push forward with their own dreams, too. One thing is for sure, the intensity of your approach brooks no resistance. Your movement and energy will drive away all stagnation. Now go!
A time of very hard work. Getting ahead. Determination and resolve to push through into the next stage. The urge to improve your status and be rewarded. Moving quickly, with strength and stamina. A great deal to process and integrate.
Neuroplasticity happens when connections are made across the neural network in our brain. Essentially, our brain creates super-highways that it travels quickly in response to outside stimuli. Thought patterns that are repeated often create massive highways that the thought travels on. The more the thought occurs, the more it will occur.
One of the most effective ways to reprogram the mind, to reformat the consciousness, is through using affirmative statements. I share with you examples that you may find helpful should you wish to use them to assist in reformatting the thinking mind.
I have completed my task successfully. Victory is mine. I receive recognition and reward. I reciprocate. My heart sings.
I am protected and guided. I surrender to the process.
I still my mind and gain balance.
All the power that ever was or will be exists in the here and now. I am therefore ready and willing to risk the loss of what I have been and move on to what I can become. I have the power to begin.
By the mother of all creation, I am nourished
Through movement and change I grow. My path is revealed as I move forward.
I confront the last bits of repressed trauma. I challenge the power of those experiences. I move on.
New ideas are birthing now.
I face my fears.
I explore my depths.
I seek the gifts of my shadow.
I remain grounded.
Life changes swiftly. I change perspective.
I rise above conflict so it can be healed.
A wrong-doing is being set right.
Harmony is being restored.
I acknowledge my journey, my successes, my accomplishments.
I gain a new understanding of what is really happening in my life.
My life is expanding, new doors are opening.
I let go of unwanted past experiences, forgive, and am grateful for lessons learned.
“Dear, dear! How queer everything is today! And yesterday things went on just as usual, I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night?”
Sometimes, we change slowly. A little change here, a small adjustment there, tiny shifts day by day, and over time we grow into a very different version of ourselves. But at other times, we feel like we have been changed in the night. Our day might suddenly, without any warning at all, be very queer indeed. For Alice, and perhaps for you, there is a sense that so very much has changed in an instant, that the world has quite suddenly been turned upside down – or right side up! And, we have not had a moment to grow used to this new reality, the way we now are or the rules of the world we find ourselves inhabiting.
When a time like this comes, we can be in shock, a little numb and have trouble finding our way back to the center of ourselves. If you feel you may have been changed in the night – that your life has changed quite dramatically, quite suddenly – then take a moment. Remember your values, your feelings, yourself. Look about you, steady yourself and breathe in deep. You’ve been rocked and your sense of self, and of reality, is going to take a little time to resettle.
Continue to connect with your core self, be good to you and take it easy, but steadily. Remember, you are finding out who you truly are. Until this moment, you only knew who you could be when faced with certain, predictable circumstances. Now that so much has changed, you will find out so much more about yourself, and in time, this will enrich you so very much.
Sudden, unexpected change. A shock. Unexpected news. Adjusting to a new situation. Finding out more about who you are. Inexperience and uncertainty. An identity crisis due to changed circumstances.
