I lie within fields barren
Crimson flower gone to seed
Earth caressed by Winter lips
Upon which my cheek doth rest
I lie within fields barren
New life lulled in womb
Divine, this song emergent
Await Springs commencing breath
I lie within fields barren
Remembrance of which has been
In honor of this sacred cycle
Till genesis springs forth afresh.

I awoke recently in very early morn hours to the question arising within me of, “How do you want to be Known?”. I noted it within my bedside notebook and fell back to sleep.
Upon returning to sleep I was met by a lone, large Bee that was of a size similar to my hand. It’s body was vibrant in color and it radiated wellness. As I observed the Bee it settled upon a pristine white wooden planked floor.
I leaned over the Bee for a better look and noted a missing plank that allowed my view of a lone crab resting upon a dirt subfloor. The crab was alive and well but unmoving, as if unsure as to where to scuttle or awaiting direction possibly from the Bee.
I was calm and attentive to the Bee yet felt a need to contain it in some manner. I thought I might carry it outdoors to it’s natural habitat, for it’s own sake, as a measure to prevent it coming to harm by others whom might fear it.
I found myself to be holding a large glass jar and I attempted to “scoop” it around the Bee but try as I might the Bee repeatedly proved to be too large for the jar and would not be contained. I was puzzled by this as the Jar to Bee ratio made sense until I tried to actually capture it within the space.
Then I awoke, noted this message, and went about life; the question, “How do you want to be Known?” arisen previous the dream has remained prominent and echoes within me repeatedly since.
It is from this experience that I offer my thoughts upon this year’s Capricorn Solstice and the perfection of the Capricorn New Moon soon after.

“Do you remember when I told you about the pipe bombs in my driveway or the time my neighbor called 911 because there was a horrific boom and it seemed the whole house shook and insects were scurrying from the drains and she was certain my propane tanks had exploded? Remember that?”
~oh yeah; I do
“Yes! So the fire department came when she called and then they roped off the block and there was this really weird gas hovering thick over the ground and spiraling all about my property. And the really weird thing was no one knew why and as far as I know, after men in uniforms and hazmat suits left, it was just forgotten. Never heard anymore. Just like after they came and detonated the bombs. That was just it”
~yeah. so why now? what’s this about?
“I think partly this is why I’m hurting so much now; physically. It’s all crunchy-like and stagnant, these things that I do not share, because it just seems like my life is full of these really weird little jagged, seemingly unrelated events and when you just share those “random” pieces with people that have no patience or aptitude for the unfolding of something larger, you just don’t come off well”
~seriously?? you still give a shit what people think?
“Yes and no. I no longer require approval for who I am or how I am doing my Am-ness. But yeah, I give a shit in as much as I don’t enjoy being the target for people’s nasty when they can’t get a grip on it.”
~nobody does. but you gotta’ just forget about that and do what you’ve gotta do.
“Yeah, you’re right. I’ve spent too much time not being dishonest but also not being fully forthcoming when opportunity presents. Last time I went full-in was back in 2007, remember? I told you how badly that went.”
~yeah. that wasn’t your fault though.
“It felt like my fault. I thought they were more openminded then they actually were. I heard through the rumor-mill that I couldn’t be trusted because I didn’t share enough about myself. So, I tried but it just freaked them out. The Christians tried to cast the devil out of me and the Pagans just thought my glowing healing hands were..I don’t know actually, but they turned on me”

When I awaken and go
I shall carry you with me
much as once you carried me forth
to Here
as I remained within my slumbers.
When I awaken and go
I shall seal
our Fare-Thee-Wells
upon this Haven
once permissive
of our unified
Rests and Risings
however fleeting
I recall them to be.
When I awaken and go
I shall carry you with me
course set in tandem
with ascendant Sun
wasting naught of my Freedom gained
a much desired treasure
worthy of savor.

I have risen late.
I place intention to the course of my walk, traversing avenues when necessitated, ensurance of continual communion with crisp autumnal Light.
The eschewing of spaces yet grayed by lingering shadows, merely an action obedient to preference of mood this morn, not a path dictated by a misbegotten fear of subliminal places.
Recent formations of leaf communities joyously solicit invitation of sojourn aside their now grand cohesions of once-solitary, myriad hued members.
Occasional stirrings of wind no longer threaten individual dispersion; a boon of communal existence and necessity for many when Winters Gales arrive.
Yet on this late morning outing I find it is not these vibrant communities that dialogue so intimately with my Heart but it is the occasional Lone Leaf, found pressed limply to concrete walkway by residual moisture of the weeping of the Night prior, that receives my more soulful considerations.
I adjust my gait accordingly on the walkway, with respect for their current condition, maneuvering gently around these random soloists whilst musing as to why they present as such even now with other choice of Be-ing promised nearby should they but accept transport upon prevailing winds.
I observe that indeed the New Day sun has liberated much Else of the previous Nights tears yet these Lone Leaf’s remain saturated and still, and I remain uncertain as to if it is by inability, or unwillingness, to change their solemn condition that they remain as such.
Whispering to them with my Heart I ask of them if they be yet-stilled by indecisions, or are they not yet ready to be liberated of the tears of former Night doings; is it these matters that are cause of current condition?
Alas, my inquiry results in mere silence, so I Heart Whisper once again a reassurance meant to be a balm against lonesomeness and further despair that:
I, as well as others upon our shared pathway, shall endeavor in our comings and goings to keep the pathway clear during all Winter Gales.
Through our Movements we shall stir the Airs when needed to assist in the drying of tears while alighting favorable Winds to lift all Lone Leaf’s toward their personal Choice of New Be-ing while honoring their sovereign rights to choose environments, solitary or communal, that is perfectly right for them.
I aim my strides now towards home; satisfied with my own choice.

How do I bring myself Forth from this loneliness?
For the last of your Days
were surely the first of my Nights
yet still my Heart indwells possibility
that Providence shall grant us Union
with the Bestowing upon us
of a Reality fully formed
within the delicate sliver of Space
between rigid absolutes
that ‘ere now has confined us
to only mirrored Experience
of that which has been
the Other’s unmet World.

I smothered it;
I smothered it ‘ere full breath could be undertaken,
Re-animating a once lovely yet still-past, dead Thing.
Though saddened I was by the doing of it;
I have no regret of the act,
and decision for it, in itself.
The returning of the Thing to Rest,
‘ere accountability be demanded of me for its very Existence,
was the proper course to be undertaken .
One day future when glimpsing past,
it shall be known that the ending of the Thing
was the beginning of the Liberation
for Us each.
I wish it to be understood;
that my relinquishment unto Death,
of the very Thing that I desired so,
is offering of testament to a growth
bearing fully this humble recognition
that should the beloved Thing Become
once more Arisen
finding itself Reborn unto a new Day
it’s Promise to resurrected Life was gifted by a Power
far exceeding of mine alone.

He denies me Beauty
Despising me for my Love of It
yet but a twisted whimper of wrath
is his claim upon a fame.
Should thou peer keenly
upon the wrinkle set over brow
what once was mistook
for mark of great thought
shall prove to be naught
but crevasse of envy
pressed ever more deeply
‘neath beguiled weight
of self-doubts.
Why then should I
invite upon mine own mind
the burdens of thee
whom would seek to shackle me
within fortress walls
bereft of Life?
For is it not true
that your denial of a Thing
can no more cease the existence
of that Thing
than it can prevent
my Love upon It?
I will not fret you further
in these matters and Ways
yet will choose to full Heartedly Embrace
all of my Greatest and Truest Loves
wasting not yet another moment
indeed many sunrises of moments
in a denial of That which is found
pleasurable unto Mine Very Soul
so that you might find a small
indeed dismally small comfort
through your banal denials
of Beauty and Love
so that one’s self
finds preservation within
a misery of righteous Wrongs.

Word Up on me Not with lingual love
Forget me Please if this is all that you offer;
to sleazy Seize that which you desire
yet noncommittal Be Thee still to the fires;
that Truest Love brings to aLight
attempt Ye’ Not to break it down for me
how you suffered by others and trusted not
for I am not they whom minced words and actions
truths loosed from my heart shared freely from honest tongue
an unmeasurable many times
to be met only by your backward facing ears
unable to meet me present;
for Past wrongs bethought of from others
held you closely and stroked One’s fragile ego
lest accountability take hold and require greater effort
to seize upon a new day
and enter Genuine relation with another
such as I
where one’s each and every action
is an Expression of Love
and not merely a pumped up word
dialogued strategically with guile
merely meant to excuse one of misaligned deeds;
and non-deeds; indeed!
Woe unto He that plays his hand as such
for lonely be the days and nights
that hence forth come from such self serving pantomimes
So again I say with kindness;
though you might doubt that to be true
Word Up on Me Not! and properly
Forget Me True!
for undoubtedly the best course Be
to walk separately our Rested Lives through.

Once tiny girls
With Loving, searching Hearts
Misunderstood
Our Hearts fell apart
Gifting a small piece
To each we did meet
Hoping it to be enough
Our wells now hidden deep
As time went by
We put aside our dreams
Our little girls surviving
By any and all means
Little girls long tucked away
Women, we’ve now become
Our hearts broken, scattered far and wide
Belonging to no One
“Women, summon your little girl
the time has come you see,
to gather the many pieces
make your Heart one for Thee”
With Hearts brought Whole
Shine Your Love
Release the pain harbored within
Allow your Heart
To tone it’s tune
Weave your Dreams
Once Again
