think of what a privilege it is to be alive,
to think, to enjoy, to love…”

“…We all need a mother
Yes, we do
And maybe there is a perfect mother
just for you
She is the mother of your mother
and your mother’s mother
and back as far as the eye can see
or mind can know
or soul can feel
to the first mother
Lie on the grass and feel Her heart
You were formed of Her earth
You come from Her waters
Her winds kiss your cheek eternally
Her rains cry with you when you cry
and wash your wounds
She will heal you
nourish you
wait for you
She will give you beauty
She will give you joy
She will give you new life
again and again
She will always be there
to enfold you in Her embrace
when at last you return —
Maybe you have the perfect mother . . .
~ Rebekah Myers,
Excerpt from ‘A Perfect Mother’
🌎♥️
Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
are not lost. Where you are is called Here,
and you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you.
If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
you are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
where you are. You must let it find you.
~David Waggoner

As Earth Day approaches, our thoughts naturally turn to loving, honoring and helping Mama Earth.
Please join Nancy Lankston in a shamanic exploration with Mama Earth.
Let’s journey in the shamanic style and ask the land and waters how we can help. Let’s call on the Celtic Goddess Danu – the ancient, primordial mother of all things – and ask for guidance.
How can we be of service?
What does the land ask of us?
What do the waters have to share?
How can we tend to the needs of our mother Danu / Pachamama / Gaia on Earth Day and every day?
This is a Free online Zoom event
