A Time for Sharks.
This is who I work for. Little Me. The one who always ran for jabberjaw at the Hanna-Barbera merry-go-round I always knew animals would be there for me when people weren’t. Being with a shark made me feel safe. Apex predator. I still hang out with a lot of Apex Predators. Little me is the […]

These are the times of Sobek and Ammit
Breaking through the surface of the primordial waters is an ancient energy. It is what is making your boat rock. It is coming from the depths. Those who handle ultimate justice in the universe inhabit these waters, which are deep and dark, full of caverns… but they know the ways. They’ve inhabited them since Neith. […]
Birth Ritual
The year of the snake has been a series of intense initiations, extractions, A birth ritual. What’s needed is an incantation. The most worthy I think is the growl and fervor of Cornell’s cries isolated vocals from Birth Ritual. The first Soundgarden song I ever heard, on the Singles soundtrack. Dubbed for me illegally by […]
Agony in the Garden
As you lay, they could not keep watch As the poet sang, and you fought…A voice in the dark, It wasn’t at all what they thought. A scar on the sky, a meteor hit the earth, if you didn’t die, what’s it all worth? A sound, a garden, a love, an agony.It’s not the first […]

The Cleansing of the Temple.
This isn’t hard. The Uninvited have one game. They’ve been playing it a long time. It ran in humanity, until it ran into us. They try to oppress the truth, through deflection, propaganda, illusion. Maybe even a little chaos magick. We see revolutions throughout history where the people unite to overthrow a dictator, oppressor, government, […]
Finding your way through grief
We are in the midst of a collective grief cycle. It’s important as we move through it that we REMEMBER it is a cycle (I’m always going to come back to What We’ve Forgotten). Remembering that we have emotions and are not our emotions (Thank you for this Teaching Sandra Ingerman!). And that when we […]
Sycamore
I could feel you overheadLike a wound that never closed.Painted in stars and silenceToo far to hold, too close to go. They pulled you from my arms,said the world needed space.then I laid there breakingwhile you burned across my face And I rise for youLike the sun they stoleJust to touch your lightJust to lose […]
