In this dream we have fleshy animal bodies, subtle nervous systems and active, creative brains. In this dream we have been conditioned to believe things about ourselves, others and the world that aren’t true, but kept us safe when we didn’t know what else to do.

Taste the passion

Of summer love

Oh! The people we are

When we can shed off

The protective layers

Of self-consciousness

The seasonal clothing of “too much to do”

And “never enough time”

Welcome Child

To this place of earth

To the soils that root the trees +plants

That hold the water

That sustains this life

You will come to know this earth in many ways

Each experience will be your own

We were partnered together

Me & lion

Timidly

I place my gloved hand

Near your large

Paw

Where you have claws

I have hidden

Myself

In leather

You need to know this.

Stillness.

It’s an invitation from the gods.

Perhaps from your soul.

As it calls you back to yourself.
