Still Journey

a sweet little update from me

This must be
Serenity
in a way
I've yet to know.

The birds sing
and fly:
instinctual know
of this land,

this Earth,
this song and flight.
For many a' moons
I enthralled in blight

ways and days
come and gone
on a journey
never win.

Just allow,
find your kin,
your way,
your wish

upon a star,
darling
and I'll never
be yours.

I'll rest
and test
these still days
of peace.

Virginia is for lovers.

Life has been transitory lately. I moved across the U.S. from the wide open space of the midwest to the enchanting mountains of Virginia. I moved home. My family lives here, I was raised here, and I feel pieces of me moving back together again as I receive the warm homecoming of all this place gives to me.

This next chapter is one of ease. I’m closing out a decade of exploration, healing, and growth. That isn’t to say my healing is complete— what is life but a circle of breaking and healing? But for the past ten years I have been on a grand journey, across the country (and the world), in pursuit of myself, really.

And I’ve found Her. I’ve found me. Her in me and me in Her. I feel union within and it is from this place that I will continue to give, to create, to share.

I’ve been less active on here the past couple of weeks amidst my transition. Logistics have bogged me down. And I find it essential to carve out momentous space for the groundlessness of liminality that surfaces among great transitions such as this. So, I’ve been quiet. I’ve been allowing all that is moving to gently and surely find its place and settle. The photos above give you a glimpse into the new, beautiful, abundance life and land I am walking now. I am (almost daily at this point) brought to my knees in humility, gratitude, and reverent awe at the fortuitous beauty of this place.

I continue to pray that the great mother helps me open to receive all the luscious gifts of this next chapter.

For all my wonderful readers and the lovely humans out there who support my poetic journey, thank you for your patience and thank you for being here. Expect to be seeing/reading more of me in the coming weeks, and from a renewed place at that.

Blessed be.
