Both she and I were bummed last night. We spoke words of consolation to each other and spoke of what is. Then she gave me my own word as I had given them to her “Look into the mirror and love yourself.”. Yes I do love myself. Right now I hurt on various levels due to my own making as I allowed it. When addressing the 4 corners for the past several days I have sent love and peace and asked for love and peace as well. Today she gave me the moon schedule and we will hold a ceremony soon to uplift us and bring peace, togetherness, and inner strength. We will find joy there.
The mirror is not a mirror per se, but a reflection of self in all that is. One hurt will eventually resolve itself and will stay peaceful for a bit until the next round of nonsense. The other problem needs to be addressed and changed for the betterment of self as self created it and self must morph it. The knowledge to change is there and it will create an inner peace. My heart can then be still on that issue.
My fire circle has been waiting for me to ignite it, but alas rain is falling. I do want to ignite it and have my voice travel with the smoke and heat to the Skyworld. Tobacco and sage will be included and I will walk the circle before I sit.
My children the tress (all named Nelly as are my spiders) will be gone to and loved (circled three times).
Today I mirror the willow. She is newly planted and thriving. She is small and tender and near my two pines. The largest Nelly is closest to my house and replaced the lilac tree that I removed. Yes. I am small and tender today. Tomorrow I shall be large with great shade and beauty. Weeping is the willow, but not I. Weeping is only the direction of the branch and not its core. I like the willow absorb.
Just thinking about dance, drums, rattles, song, tobacco, sage, and movement in the circle of life is lifting me. It takes me back to the warmth of the Strawberry Festival.
Peace will come. ~ Maggie ~ September 6, 2008 @ 3:49 p.m. EST
