New Moon, New Beginnings...

I guess it happens to all of us...at least once in a lifetime...you think you are on one path and then, suddenly, you find yourself on another.

Since January, I feel like I have lived through a lot of sadness and fear and stress. Going through that time showed me who my friends were...who really cared about me. It showed me where I give away my power and potential and why I do that. It showed me that we are, all of us, fragile and hanging on to this precious life by a simple thread. And that there's no time, when the time comes, to say all that you need to...to give all the love you have to give. It's been a heartbreaking illumination. One thing that I am absolutely sure about...it is time to free myself from limiting and destructive energies.

Next week, I travel to the Sea of Cortez. While there, I will spend some time at the shore...that in between place...a threshold...a place that holds promise. I will stand there and take out a little parchment paper coracle, one on which I've written about all the things and situations that have stuck to me through the years...things that I wish to let go of...situations that I wish to transform...and I'll place that little boat in the water and watch until it has sailed past the Ninth Wave and into the setting sun.

Today marks a time when I set out on a new path...the way is clear.
