No One Owns the Forest
The forest is a healing oasis that once upon a time was a place of solace for indigenous and Black people. The forest does not belong to one specific group because they want to keep its beauties for itself – the same can be said for the oceans, rivers, and springs. In Oregon, there is…

Sun That Shines on You
In the midst of silence and trees I have found myself connecting to the magnificence of Spirit. In the throes of confusion, I can handle being the cloud that gives protection and shade. In this life I consider the babies and the bees to be my friends. With me being the tulip that opens up…

All That I Am
Well, here we are at the end of October. Autumn has reached her climax and we are in the wake of it. This morning the sky was extra hazy and brooding where I am. And I honestly love it. I love the spookiness. The supposed dreariness. The rain pouring from gray clouds. The muddy grounds.…

Nature’s Little Gifts
“How strange that nature does not knock, and yet does not intrude” – Emily Dickinson I have been pondering lately about how most of the problems we have don’t seem to matter that much in the grand scheme of things when nature gets involved. How amazing it is that simply going for a walk can…

The Importance of Enjoying Life
I recently went to my family’s reunion and being there had me thinking about how important it is to enjoy life’s moments as they come because you never know what will come next. Sometimes we have moments in life that remind us that no matter what has happened before – we have the chance to…

This isn’t easy of course, but nothing that requires our highest evolvement ever really is. Leaning into surrender for me also means embracing every single part of me – even the…

Cómo se Dice Daughter of the South?
Although Mother’s Day is a capitalist holiday, I don’t need a Gregorian calendar holiday to say this. But how beautiful it is to have been given the gift of life in this exact moment and time in space. As a proclaimed Daughter of the south, I know a few things about sacrifice. Being in the…

My *Minimal* Spring Essentials Pt. 1🌺
Whether you’re tackling retrograde or post tax season, the past two weeks have been an array of emotions. The moon in Scorpio on Tuesday shed a light on our collective wounds, prompting us to rebirth and lay out in exhaust when necessary. The emotional lull of Scorpio’s dark influence can never be ignored. Yesterday, everyone…

Earthy Poetry
You welcome me into your world And I enter with a warrior’s sort of twirl I have missed this musky aroma One that speaks of the memory of the deity Soma Planted feet on the ground Hoping my steps don’t make a sound For I don’t want the squirrels to hear For its us humans…

Moving Forward with Gall
Something I have been heavily contemplating is the role that gall plays in our day-to-day life. Especially as of late, with the eclipse in Aries around us. Gall’s role is one of importance, as gall releases us from stagnation. And stagnation keeps us in mindsets that are not productive to our long-term growth. Spring’s blooms…
