A DAY’S PRAYER

What tune whispers

Under memories waiting re-birth?

What am I to inhale

For the wild life waiting?

What mystery unfolds

Preparing the next meal?

To this day I am born!

Beckoned again -Yet again

Back into sacred waters

Where soul speaks.

““The moon is friend for the lonesome to talk to”  Carl Sandburg

Wisdom Body Notes May 13-25 by Samantha Cameron

The coming and going of the moon weaves the sky dark to light and home again~a luminous ritual of reliance, information and beauty.  As in all necessary and important ritual, we utterly and unconsciously depend on it.  Our new rituals emerging from under the Taurus/Scorpio lunation fill us in silent, potent energies of passion, power, and embodiment.  The placid Taurus Sun stands in bullish opposition to the moon’s penetrating scorpionic mystery;  A ritual expression asking for daily practices to be imbued with greater intensity, an ‘ask’ demanding- “I want all of you present!” Life is calling us to stand forth in our agency, and light .

The silent re-birth rises

A silvery scythe cutting the night

Tender as a new scar.

Her mewling light shadowed in cloud

Sets unknown templates

Initiates new destinations.

Push back the darkness

Heed the call to ‘beginner’s mind,’

Skywalk her spirit,

The talisman waits within.

Turn now, with courage as your sacrament

To enlist for the unknown journey.

(Latin root of the word ‘sacrament’ –sacramemtum, was a pledge, or oath, with no religious meaning, often taken by Roman soldiers when enlisting.)

“Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.”  Joseph Campbell

Venus at the Threshold

The door opens upon her radiance,

The quiet poise of a still-life beauty

Wearing wings

Visible to all who know her.

We knocked seeking water, to receive bread.

We arrived in tears, to be held by hope and

Fed by luxe generosity.

We surrendered all, embraced in laughter.

She remains here, within,

A forever talisman of Grace,

Luminous perception at the ready

Waiting for the knock at the door.

“It begins with me.  It ends with me, no matter what life offers.  I am my own Alpha and Omega”

Wisdom Body Notes for March 27-April 5 by Samantha Cameron

Headlong we run into the Spring Portal of new life, beckoned by the 2nd spring Eclipse at the New Moon of 9 Aires, on 31st.  As this is an Eclipse of the North Node, we are invited to explore avenues of spirit and soul growth, despite the heaving changes and emotional depth charges, pay greater attention to the quiet voice calling you upward and inward, using Eclipse energy to cleanse and release. As all New Moons are thresholds for fresh starts, you may feel that with the Eclipse chaos involved it’s difficult to know how to start.  My advice?  Pause, listen to your intuition, let go of the old voice of anxiety, refuse to engage in habits that harm, or relationships that do not honor you.

Spring stands at her threshold without objection Or larking second thought. Within chartreuse landscapes Pink buds push through old skin Where they have cocooned in liturgies of peace Embraced by cold grace

An equinoctial balance as day dissipates dark
In momentary side-by-side harmony, Sandwiched in Mysteries of Meta and material.
A soulful asylum of neither right nor wrong, Here, not there, first or last
Let us stop to honor Gaia’s pulsing extravagance  Before onward,
Before life, green with love, bursts old boundaries.

The Equinox, like the Solstice, are meta moments of higher harmony, beckoning our connection to Mother Earth and her place in the Cosmic firmament.  They are opportune shifts when we can replenish personal energies and set intentions to move into a new season, especially from winter dark to vibrant spring green. 

This year, oh lucky us, Ostara is wedged between the spring Eclipses, March 14 and 29th, helping us refresh consciousness by clearing old debris and tired ideas.  Chaotic as this may be, it adds to the spiritual drive and magic of the Equinox, when the veil is very thin between worlds. This energy is a gift.  Use it wisely to create a higher, loving vision of your life.
