Wanderings and ponderings of a wild, passionate feminist
Feeling spiritual fatigue feeling everything so deeply My mind always at full speed must slow down Taking everything so personally arrows through heart even when it’s the other soul’s shortcomings Sensitive Tender spots on old wounds Trying to see my own past failings and trauma as learning Opportunities As beauty, as parts of my story that dont need to be winced at 5 steps forward,…
Friday the 13th approaches And she will be a beautiful, fierce, full, harvest moon The autumnal equinox hangs before us, suspended in the balance in the liminal space of no longer, but not yet The shadow realm of witch work Oh, heaviest of chapters, close Death Fall away, decay Let us regain our posture The winds are whispering, chilly The light of the moon comes…
I have learned something from standing at the tallest mountain tops Under the fullest moon Crisp mountain air From soaking in the hottest natural springs From drinking the coldest natural spring water I have learned from standing at the edge of the brightest blue ocean the crashing waves under the brightest milky way Wonder The coyote, the dolphin, and the bear Dusty trails, tallest pines…
Why do I choose to take my clothes off in front of a camera???? Why do I choose to publicly display my naked, perfectly imperfect body??? There are a few reasons. Empowerment.

the sun entered scorpio. and one of my ghosts came tapping at my consciousness again that night. the message: the unseen will be illuminated. hidden truths exposed, the darkness ripped forward to the light. healing, growth, expansion, mystery, death. if you can make it. withstand it. he is there often, waiting in the shadows, and I want it illuminated. how can I not be forever…
This is a contribution from my friend Angela. She is my longest friendship, we met when we were 12, in 7th grade, wearing shirts with cartoon characters on them. We have lived through many chapters together. In junior high and high school, we wrote poetry and songs together. We have both written ever since. We leave for St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands in…
