Cups of clover, an all-heal remedy
the ancient Grandmothers taught me
whispering in the night
at dawn
in the sweet afternoon breeze
at dusk
Easy to find
easy to wildcraft
easy to steep
easy to store
easy to use up
All about the ease...
That’s what they’ve been saying this whole time!
The more you flow
gather, hold, release, and keep flowing
What a lovely dance
The wild satisfaction
the deep fulfillment
of simply being at ease
in an ever-present awareness
I know the gurus talk
of the sound of the Universe
that hum, that enchanting Om, that harmonious intonation of the Word on the Breath of Divine Lips
But, sometimes,
like my Ancient Grandmothers before me,
I can lay on spring grass in sunlight dappled shade and close my eyes...
and I hear the Universal sound
as the River Flow... a symphony of every vibration
gathering, dancing, releasing, flowing, ebbing, swirling, holding, rippling, calming, flowing, gathering, dancing, releasing, ebbing, swirling, flowing, calming, rippling, holding, flowing

So many recipes for creation and destruction that we forget what purpose we have in mind/ I was always instructed that one should follow the recipe according to what’s written the first time/ and then change it as you go/ true some things improve with experience & experiments/ but there's no better time to begin the practice than to dive in right now/ So I substitute as I see fit and mix and blend and omit/ and soon I’ve crafted a book of my own revelations, a book of recipes and experiments of my own distractions and ones of my own creations grown beyond the confines of what I’ve learned and courageously, still with reason and knowledge, a compilation of records from my Alchemist’s Tower to the Basement and underground caverns/ Delightfully wield authority – rather, sovereignty - over your own life even as aware of All Life that you Are

​Tea for the soul
a soothing balm
when we blend such abundance
 and pour forth our Selves,
our dreams,
our imaginings
And blessed sharing we revel
in delighted dance
that we had such capacities
Just when we thought ourselves
overwhelmed
full-up
too much
We have found in the steeping,
mixing,
blending
alchemizing
of our ideas and desires and needs and wants
this glorious dance between our inner world
and outer world
the way of making tea
for the soul
a tonic for the heart and mind and body

​Smooth flow
loosen the grip on past
present
and future
Releasing ruminating hang-ups
It is not to serve Justice
that we accuse, regret, deny, give-in, label, agree or disagree, compromise or compartmentalize
It is not in the service of Justice that we fight, advocate, or forgive
Serving Justice is to hold center
hold the calm stillness of inner truth
and self-trust
Hold ourselves in the Present Moment
with integrity
And know that Divine Law
for which we have no understanding outside of that center
will move accordingly
always and with the only aid
of our releasing
past and future
for the sake of holding Now
empowered
