One of my favorite things to do is listen to the masculine sing songs of love and pretend he’s singing to me. It makes me smile, knowing that somewhere out there, someone would love to sing to me songs of love … and so I strengthen this knowing by inviting it into my daily living.
Robert Bassett is a new find of mine, and I love his songs. I have a few favorites I’ll share here.
I hope they bring you as much pleasure as they do me.
We love to play with herbs, making healing potions, salves and elixers. We grow our medicinal gardens, singing as we weed, speaking to our growing friends.
Many think us crazy … a little scary … they do not understand us, but fear us. Watching us flow, the power that resides in us moving in space and time, they sense the strength and get uncomfortable … and try to eliminate the discomfort by judging and demonizing us.
No, I’m not a witch.
I do love to burn candles and think of the fiery love that is born and spewed into the world from it tho, I add my intention to the flame and spread it like wildfire.
I have crystal grids in my house and an alter to the goddess within all feminine. I pray for her, for her health and for her recognition. I pray for love to come to her.
No, I do not consider myself a witch.
I spend time in dance, in song, in feeling the intricate portions of my inner being, and I see it connected to all life.
The feminine are my sisters and the masculine my brothers.
I am working diligently to gain a greater understanding of my masculine family … they are as confusing to me, as I am sure I am confusing to them.
Understanding does not come without an open mind and effort to understand without judgement.
Judgement cause rigidity.
Rigidity closes doors to understanding.
Resting in this place, it is dark. There, no light can shine upon truth for the door has been shut to it.
No, I am not a witch.
I only seek greater understanding of all familial aspects in this life.
So I can see their point of view.
So I do not accidentally crap on what they consider sacred.
So I can honor them in their place of beingness.
For Love.
May the Sun and the Moon grace us with their being and beauty, always and ever.
May the waters be purified, so we may drink from them once more.
May the sea creatures, the flying ones, the walking and the crawling ones be kept safe as this purification occurs.
May minds remain calm as they are opened and exposed to the greater reality.
Powers that are Powers that be Powers of earth, air, fire, moon, sun and sea Protect, guide and nurture My loved ones and me This is my will So mote it be.
Morning: Today is a day to focus on action. I have goals and dreams and now it is time to take action. I always continue the inner work of cultivating positive thought and ideas, but now it is time to also commit to performing actions, no matter how small, that will move me forward on my path towards making my dreams come true.
Evening: I know that I did my best today to focus on taking action. Tonight I will rest knowing that I did things, said things, and accomplished things that bring me closer to reaching my goals.
You Are Worth It ~ The only way you can accept, respect, and cherish others is by accepting, respecting and cherishing you. Accept praise and credit when it is given to you. When you learn to be accepting, you allow your true potential to blossom. You claim your worth and reflect that light to others. When you see yourself in this light, other people cannot help but respond to your personal sense of value. As you strive toward more self-love each day, you will find yourself infused with new energy. It is okay to walk away from relationships that minimize or hurt you. Enjoy and love who you are.
Expansion ~ You are continually moving, evolving and going through cycles in your life. Attune and align yourself with the rhythms of nature around you. This is an exciting time with new beginnings, growth and changes. There are many settings that will provide for inner development that is going on around you and the effect it is having on you. Consider environmental issues or use this as an opportunity for new studies. It is a good idea to recognize the need for extra rest and personal care while integrating new energies, so you are ready for important messages and opportunities. Just as in nature, you too have seasons of growth and maturity.
Gratitude & Appreciation ~ Recognize the good qualities in others and openly share your gratitude with them. Write notes of thanks to those who have helped you. If someone deserves acknowledgement, take the time to let a colleague know so that they receive the recognition they deserve. Nature is continually sharing its beauty for us to appreciate. Beholding a rainbow is a gift, and when we encounter a rainbows beauty, it is the perfect time to be grateful for all gifts in our lives. It is important to generate the positive flow of thankfulness that can bring joy into someone else’s life. By doing so you will not only decrease your stress, you will also generate the feeling of goodwill and love in your life.
