29 days until I leave Sonoma County.

My heart has watched the days count down, the To Do items get crossed off, the altars become bare:

I (have to) let go
I (have to) make room
I (have to) surrender—stories, things, patterns, griefs, expectations, collaborations, control, complacency…

MONDAY HEART MAGICK

Light is returning
Even though it is the darkest hour
No one can hold
Back the dawn

—Charlie Murphy

In celebration of the darkness, in celebration of the light...

APHRODITE'S DAY

I touch the water,
and remember how Love
was born,
is born
across waves,
and steps onto the shore
as a blessing,
as a spell of transformation,
as a divine promise,
as a dare.

MONDAY HEART MAGICK

“I felt a deep grief that crouched and stayed still as if it was afraid to move.”
--Iris Murdoch, The Sea, the Sea

Today's substack is about leaving and grieving.

Thanks so much to all the folks who have bought or shared my new books: “Pantheon: The Greeks.”

For the moment, the Kindle version is ranking at:

21 in History of Greece
99 in Ancient Greek History

That makes me smile.

Today is for Aphrodite Epitumbidia, She Upon the Graves

Today is for meeting love and its companion, grief

Today is for remembering that love arrives with loss

Today, priestesses/priestexes gather to dance upon tombs and remember
