"When you let Spirit guide you, your dreams lead you to your path, your path becomes your journey, and your journey takes you further than you ever dreamed.
The steepest path is the way to the deepest parts of your self."

~ Tao (道) - The Way of Nature ~

"Yield and overcome. Empty and be full. Have little and gain. Have much and be confused." ~Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching

The Tao (道) is the eternal WAY of nature, the cosmic cycles of creation, regeneration and degeneration that keep the universe in balance, connecting all things together as a unified whole.

"Returning is the motion of the Tao. Each separate being returns to the common Source. Returning to the Source is serenity." ~Lao Tsu

By emptying our minds and aligning with Nature's Way, egoic thoughts naturally dissolve and melt away, and we move once again in synch with the Cosmos, All That Is.

Nothing is to be attained with the Tao. Rather, we flow in tune with the Cyclic Laws of Life and connect with our true spiritual nature by cultivating inner serenity, opening our hearts, releasing ideas (and expectations) and letting go.

“Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts,
you return to the Source of Being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”
― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

“We need the tonic of wildness...
At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.”

- Henry David Thoreau,
Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

"'Slow' and 'down' are modes of the soul; they are connective modes, ways of keeping connected to oneself and to one’s environment. 'Slowing downwards' refers to more than simply moving slowly, it means growing down towards the roots of one’s being. Instead of outward growth and upward climb, life at times must turn inward and downward in order to grow in other ways. There is a shift to the vertical down that re-turns us to root memories, root metaphors, and timeless things that shape our lives from within. Slowing downwards creates opportunities to dwell more deeply in one’s life, for the home we are looking for in this world is within us all along. The lost home that we are seeking is ourselves; it is the story we carry within our soul."

"Authority is a big word that troubles most people, especially in the form of the authorities. Yet the roots of authority go back to words like author, and augment and authentic. There can be forms of genuine authority that develop from authoring things and from being truly creative. When faced with the inevitable inequities of life, there is such a thing as authentic authority that is rooted not in the common, often confused world, but in something deeper, that is both more creative and more genuine. When people draw from the root of their deeper self, they become authentic and able to act with true originality, for the deep self is secretly connected to the origins of life."

I THINK IT WAS JUST WOMEN

It must have been a terrifying sight to behold,
a group of witches gathered by firelight,
chanting, conjuring spirits, creating spells…

No wonder some were afraid.

But I think it was just women.

Being women.

Coming together, as they very much must,
to support one another,
to share their battles and pull each other
through the flames
they faced daily.

Sharing remedies, medicines
and ways to heal.

And believing they were so much more than told,
than allowed.

It is little wonder that the power of this union would appear like magic, to the unknowing eye.

But I think it was just women.

Doing what we do,

every day.
