into the Autumn '15
Aloha friends and lovers,
What a very full first half of the year. I spent most of it with an auto-immune condition which clamped down any activities except staying sane, trying to sleep/stay in bed, etc.!
1st August as every year saw my birthday, but this year we spent the day at RedHawkCouncil's BearMountain PowWow. What a perfect perfect day for me. GIVING THANKX..
The 1st August also denotes LUNASA in Ireland, which is the Harvest season. Hence my Autumn schedule begins already in August. Uisce / Water in Eirinn hath spoken and thru me is conceived (or rather, retrieved) another 'earth gig', this time at a local well. Local and elder custodian of said well should be onhand on the day we hold for it; on the 23rd, mercurialWednesday after AutumnEquinox, and before full moon.
Not for nothing was an immense connection with Native America made. The friendships with Native artists, performers, and eco-active youth are like precious seeds I both guard and nurture till their honest expression blossoms forth. It would seem the love I had for the First Americans had never left me (when I left for Europe so many lifetimes ago, literally) Taking up the full force of ''finally arriving home'' among that nourishing wise environment informs all the facets I have for life.
The circle with myth and separated partner AND new bandmates Feidhlim & Malachaí forges strong. My previous study, and work into conscious relating was breathed into new life as well from powerful encounters I had, via Bliss Ireland, Unique Tantra, and of course, our home medium, Glow. a vow to allow the momentum of this healing work is upon me to maintain, share, and evolve/develop.
The wane of my illness has unleash'd aquarian ideals everywhere I look, and what's worse, the floodgates to intuitive nudge-acknowledging is quite receptive. It is only stronger when I choose to fast.
In the week ahead I will gather in a CircleWay with a Wampanoag elder & his partner. Feidhlim & Malachai my young humans will be present, and I already feel my body and spirit readying for the nourishment they will receive from this social and creative wilderness week.
House Concerts abound, from Mayo to Donegal. My traditional singing roots also loom before me, demanding expression in a renewed powerful way. i can feel my own fear yet am confident when the time comes I WILL go thru the door, over the bridge, ...safely and happily to the other side! Embrace your lives as only ye can, in the full Knowing of the gifts they truly are. Hoka hey!
