Yes!
The sun is back- we are entering a powerful portal between yesterday's full moon lunar eclipse and Tuesday's solstice.
Purity. I feel I am no longer working from a sense of responsibility but from love.
"You work that you may keep peace with the earth and the soul of the earth. For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life's procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite." -kahlil gibran
I am a child of the sunlight, and under its spell I appreciate life. I wander around barefoot from goat teat to pitchfork, making the obligatory stop at the raspberry bushes, smelling the lavender, pulling roots and tucking the cucumbers into their beds of straw. How amazing, to sing songs and feel the energy of pachamama seeping into my being every day!
Yes.
Of course, as present and sweet-smelling life on the farm is right now, I feel that it has become this way because I know I am about to leave. I am full of fire right now, unable to stay in one place for too long, and I light up the most when I can sense the road approaching.
But otherwise....
I have been cooking every morning for the no-yo gardens community, and feel myself recently very drawn towards soup. Mildred, Adam, and I harvested two chickens the other day: cut off their heads with a machete, held them while the last life force left inside them danced around, let the blood drip out of their necks, scalded them in hot then cold water to pluck off all the feathers, then sliced them open and took out their organs. There were eggs all lined up inside the hen--- yolks the consistency of eyeballs with veiny red exteriors. After two years of being vegetarian, I harvested, made, cooked up, and ate fresh chicken soup!
I've also been getting into the wild medicines growing on the land: burdock root, dandelion and yellowdock are all great blood cleansers... and since many of us on the farm are healing (from staph, candida, and other bacteria), I've been harvesting up these wild plants for soups and decoctions. I feel that the reason I got staph was to inspire me to delve deeper into healing... learning what foods and plants are good for me, and sharing that knowledge with those around me. I am still working with the infection, and I thank it for being my teacher along my path as a healer.
Also, I've incorporated massage of hands and feet into my daily yoga/meditation/toning practice. Yay for pressure points and releasing blockages!
May all beings be in tune with their bliss and have the freedom to follow it.
