I think it is rather significant that we have a Blue Moon tonight as we ring out the old year and ring in the new. And it is a wonderful time to partake in some Blue Moon magick! The chart of this full moon, as well as it’s other magical correspondences, makes it one that can help us manifest changes in our lives that have been brewing since August 2007. Plus there is a partial Lunar Eclipse as well. Lots of energy to work with.
So what is a Blue Moon you ask? It is the second full moon to occur in any one solar month. They happen every 31 to 33 months. Blue Moons are said to reflect the Full Moon in the Otherworlds, so it is an extra potent and prophetic time to ask for help from your ancestors, spirit guides, and other divine beings. As you reflect on what it is that brought you to this point, complete with failures and accomplishments, you have an opportunity to plumb the depths as it were, for new insight about how you tick. With new information about yourself, look at what you want to change and what new energies you want to manifest. Ask the moon goddess Selene to increase your intuition and for the wisdom to use the information wisely. Set goals for the next Blue Moon which is August 31, 2012.
This Blue moon falls on Dec. 31, 2009 2:13 pm EST at 10 degrees Cancer, opposite the Sun in Capricorn (10 degrees) conjunct Venus (7 degrees) and Pluto (3 degrees). The small shadow partial Eclipse will be seen in Africa, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
The goddess energy of the moon is magnified by the planetary positions in this amazing chart. Moon in Cancer is nurturing, kind and supportive of creating a home inside and out. So no matter if you have lost your home, or are moving for any reason, it is about feeling at home inside yourself that counts. Knowing this you can live and be anywhere, and you can recreate a new home. At the same time, with the stellium of the Sun, Venus and Pluto opposite the Moon, we are challenged to be at home in the world, connected to others by a deep inner core. Our ego’s have taken a beating this year, in so many ways. The only way to be at peace is to surrender to something greater than ourselves and let go. We are being called upon to birth the Earth Goddess, bringing her back from the ashes of our smoldering ego’s. And what comes of that will be very magical, we will discover our individual power comes from letting go and being able to listen.
Saturn is squaring the moon, telling us, to slow down, calm our emotions, give our inner life some structure, and to record our dreams. The wisdom wants to emerge as a plan, as a set of steps to take and will unfold over a period of time. So use this annoying taskmaster to get your emotional affairs in order, and build a nurturing base for yourself…that includes money and a secure living situation. Many of us will find ourselves working from home.
The yod in this chart is about leadership and action that sparked from unusual insight and purposeful thought that is poured into a humanistic cauldron of healing passion and spirit. So spiritual solutions are manifesting as actions right now. We are all being called on to be leaders, which means taking action in the world, regardless of anybody following. Clear action, motivated by higher thought and passionate heartbreak, as my dear friend Andrew Harvey, architect of Sacred Activism, likes to call it. It is a time for activism that springs from a sacred place, our hearts and our souls, so that it can take root in the world.
Here’s my take on this…we have been living a topsy-turvey year, and find ourselves disoriented, worn out and really asking What’s Next? Our usual defenses and attitudes are not working. Surrendering is the perfect course of action. It’s not the giving up kind of surrender, but feeling like giving up brings us to that. It’s more like the kind of surrender that happens from our inner beings, when we lay aside our ego’s and our plans and openly and with out gile ask – What’s next, oh great Architect of the Universe? - Even though I might not really believe in that at all right now. And then create space to listen for the answer.
A lot of food for thought as we bound into another chapter of this interesting ride. Strap on your seatbelts folks!! Celebrate with love in your hearts and don’t forget the curiosity. And remember to breathe. Aaaaah!
Winter Solstice sun with 3 sunspots
The Solstice Chart for December 21, 2009 is an amazing configuration of planets. The energy is about individual actions, new beginnings, humanity, grounded action, moving ahead with new leaders showing up, light workers becoming more prominent. There is a desire for more stability, personal freedom, ingenuity and new forms of expression. Alternatives to war, aggressive tendencies, and unexpected conflict resolution will be on the horizon, alongside upheaval and much tragedy. We will feel more connected to struggle of those around us, and more inclined to become participants in change, rather than onlookers.
Solstices are about renewal and rebirth. Kings, queens and important teachers were reincarnated into the bloodlines of the people with the help of Venus, a planet that figures prominently in this chart. People are being drawn to configure their own spiritual story and philosophies, being authentic about their relationship to god. We are part of the fabric of a global society, and the beauty that shines from inside our hearts is creating a larger landscape of care and relationship to the goddess and Mother Earth energies. The Goddess is being reborn inside all of us right now, preparing us for the great work ahead.
We are entering a serious time where structures will be literally reborn, as others start to falter. It will be difficult for people who are not comfortable with their shadow aspect, for that is where we need to separate the dross from the gold and access all of our good attributes. This is a step by step process, where the next big step is only revealed if you actually step on the path. So it is not a time to sit still. Relying on Mother Earth for support and balance at this time is crucial.
This is a very mystical solstice, with an access to intuition, spiritual direction, angelic presence, and healing. If you are handling your daemons properly (therapy, 12-step, etc), then you will have greater access to your inner self. You will be able to distinguish between the mind and your spirit. You will also have greater access to the shadow and the good things that reside there with the creepy things. You will be able to retrieve things that can help you more because you will be able to travel to what might have been dangerous territory in the past and not be triggered by it. The more you begin to work with this idea, the purer the vehicle. This will enable you to become polished and skilled at helping others.
It is a time to begin to understand your purpose and to heal past karma. This can only be done by examining your relationships to the earth, energetically, physically and emotionally. We need to understand how to work with the earth as conduits of its power. We are channels of earth energy and that is our birthright. It is why we are here. We are being asked to align with that energy.
Goddess spirituality is beginning to take hold, but not exclusive of theology, more in a partnership with it. Who is to say that we can’t believe in god AND attend some sort of religious practice AND embrace goddess? She is creativity, abundance, and light, true abundance that springs from the inside. Cooperative abundance.
There are 2 yods in this reading. Yods are like fingers of god. They point to great destinies and unleash energy to that purpose. They are powerful indicators of change.
The first yod indicates powerful spiritual force for healing humanity, combined with pre-Christian spiritual technology, and ways to access the underworld that teach us about handling our over grown egos as a human race. As we become comfortable surrendering our egoic drive to a higher purpose, we will create new direction and purpose that affects the higher mind and transforms our karmas. We have all been here before and we will find that we have access to the accumulated soul knowledge that can nurture the planet. If you are a healer, or inclined in that direction, you will know more about your purpose over the next 3 months. Those that are already doing that work will feel a shift, and a deeper purpose and connection to healing power will be evident.
Yod number two reinforces this, but is more directed to dealing with war, leadership and the right use of will. The unpredictability of events, blended with a mind focused on higher purpose, will release creative and spiritual forces that will either point to the madness of war and aggression so that even the door knobs get it, or will expose the insane people who promote and perpetuate war and what motivates them will be revealed. Whether people will be crazy or not, they will be taking action!! This energy also shows how technology and the internet will have a huge role in revolutionary change and unrest, and healing on the physical body that creates spiritual transformation as well as a new way to resolve conflict. I already see this using Skype to do Reiki sessions and coaching over the internet/phone with people all over the world. It is truly amazing the tools we have at our disposal at this time.
All in all, this is the portal of change, and it is step one – do we jump in or do we have to be dragged in? Each of us gets to choose. Regardless of what we decide, things are in flux, the sand is shifting and things are not the way they were before. This gradual shift is the only way larger change will happen, so get ready, the ride has begun!!! Just remember, no matter where you land, the final outcome will be good. It just will not be comfortable. For a lot of us it will be painful for sure. But it will get better. This is an exciting time because we all get to contribute to something new, something that comes from us in alignment with the earth. It might seem impossible, but look at all we have created so far. I’m sure the cave guys are saying – Who knew?
Have a great holiday and solstice!! I look forward to seeing what 2010 will bring us.
In the next two months the planets are aligning to help humanity through a portal of change. My Reiki Master, Kathleen Milner asked me to look into a few dates that she intuited to be big days for us and two of them stood out – Thanksgiving, Nov 26 and the winter solstice on December 21, at 12:47 pm EST. Those 2 days are full of portents for change and inner growth. The analysis I did for her is below and I will be writing on this subject for the next few weeks until the Winter Solstice, as I look at how we can use the cycles of the moon to move us through change unifying all the parts of our selves – emotional, physical, mental and spiritual. I will also do an analysis of the Winter Solstice in the next week or so.
Throughout the next 2 months, there is a build up of dark energy for those who haven’t developed ways of processing long-held fears and neurosis, that has the potential to erupt at any time here. It is the tension that is in the heavens that will cause most of us to change. However, there are those who are not capable of releasing negativity and they will act out. The shooting at Ft. Hood is an example of that energy. Pent up aggression, unprocessed fear and neurosis that we watched and it shed light on how we deal with the mentally ill (if we marginalize them, they will not just quietly go away), the structure of the army, the way denial shows up in our thinking, and compassion for those families that had to suffer yet another assault on their loved ones.
Another thing that struck me, is that a LOT of us have aggressive feelings about the military that got played out in that incident. There will be many revealing things coming to light about this event and other past events having to do with war, the present one and the build up that started in 1982-3 to where we are right now. We HAVE to take responsibility for our own feelings, resentments and thoughts, because they get played out on the world stage in these mass events.
Another theme that is playing out is the continued invitation to step out of our confined ways of thinking and use our deeper selves to create structures that make sense. System change is eminent, because so much in our lives is just not working. This implies as well the release of our reluctance to take part in change, and to listen to our inner longings, and really deep inner direction, to take part in creating something new. This is a universal urge, and these two charts show different ways this will come to pass. It is the beginning of a long year of release of old thinking and old ways of being. This is very threatening to people in power, of any kind, so the tensions will be great. But it is always that way when we are on the precipice of change.
Thanksgiving Chart – Nov. 26, 2009
On Thanksgiving, the themes are around a heart opening having to do with unconditional love and healing the deep wounds of humanity. This compassion is very personal, and what is felt in one heart magnifies to many. There is a connective link through the subconscious that we will have access to, and many will not be aware of it until the following days. But the opening will grow and take hold of people in a subtle way.
This bodes well for groups linking together on the subconscious realm, as many of us who are involved in coming together on Wednesday evenings at 8:00 PM around the world to do clearings, healing and prayer. We will also feel this energy as we meditate and do spiritual work daily. We will feel connected to others doing the same.
The opportunity to connect with the other realms is very strong, as strong as it was on Samhain – Halloween (in the Celtic calendar this is when the veil between the worlds is the thinnest), so continue to meditate, do Reiki and other spiritual practices. Many people will feel this connection, and do not be afraid of it. It is right there anyway, whether we see it or not.
There is also radical insight and an open window to where love has to go in our lives. An urge for nurturance, protection and a return to the feminine is right there as well as a need to connect to the earth and nature as it begins to let us know it is calling us…not in distress for earth, but in distress for OUR souls. Things are out of balance because we are out of balance. During this day we have an opportunity to see how the earth can support us through change that we face as a species. In fact on this day, we have access to glimpsing a LOT!! We have connection to where we are going and it will be possible to know how we fit into the new energies that are emerging. And then take action about it. We are able to find spiritual purpose in action and the key here is to ACT!!
Wounds will be exposed, and many will feel hopeless if they aren’t able to connect to the deep inner self. We can actually help by sending them energy, they WILL feel it. Maybe that might be a focus of the Wed night clearings – sending to anyone who is not connected to healing their process in a positive way. Helping to lift the negativity that is being generated right now…although, that negativity might be needed by those who need a HUGE push to change, so we might send them the love to embrace their sorrows and move into it instead of around it.
I was filled with sadness learning of Senator Kennedy’s death this morning. Even though I hail from Boston originally, I didn’t know him personally. Yet, I felt a bright light had gone out, a light that has been there leading us out of the darkness for many years. I know, Kennedy had his detractors, his enemies and problems. He was a real human being, not a sainted Kennedy for sure. Not so much in the big gun of president. But rather, he has been working away on important issues for many years and really taking a stance on healthcare. OSHA, COBRA, CHIPS, WIC, all of these programs were spearheaded and created by legislation he wrote. He was passionate about this cause because he himself had a glimpse of the burden of extensive injury and care after an accident in the 60’s. I know that I have used several of these programs over the years, COBRA for one has helped my family make several transitions.
I had no idea of Kennedy’s influence till I had to do a paper on medical ethics and legislation when I was at Boston College in the late 70’s. As I sat in the Boston Public Library reading legislation, discourse after discourse, Sen. Kennedy’s rational, compassionate voice rang through. I was astonished at his knowledge, research and grasp of the medical. But moreover I first heard the real seeds of a Catholicism that spoke to my social activist roots, social justice and compassion that meant taking a stand for others, even when you might be well off and rubbing people the wrong way. Kennedy reached out from a privileged life to contribute real economic difference to others and to guide his colleagues to make a difference as well. He was a lightening bolt because he took his job seriously, and was so informed that he was able to hold ground that few could muster.
I was, and continue to be inspired by this man. He showed us what real democracy is all about. Democracy doesn’t work unless we have rules to go by. Rules that not only inform the larger society, but those that inform us personally and deeply. Rules that we wrestle with and make mistakes about and learn from those mistakes to make better rules. Self governance is what it is all about, and self governance is not an easy task. It takes tremendous courage to face oneself and shape opinions born out of experience, have a public face and take a stand. To make mistakes and to keep standing there. Not for the faint of heart! And yet why do we rely on the Kennedy’s of the world to do it all for us? Aren’t we all responsible for the shaping of our country? Why don’t we all have the courage to look inside and speak from our own experiences of lack or hard knocks?
Sen. Kennedy found a way to work within the system he was in to bring people together because his passion and vision to see a country that took care of the health of its people spoke so loudly to him and he listened to it. Having not only dealt with his own health, but having witnessed tremendous health issues in his own large family, like many of us, he knew of the preciousness of life and incredible power of modern medicine to deal with so many diseases and conditions. But he was also aware of the tremendous power of greed, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and forces within our own government who do not want an empowered and healthy nation. In the face of that, he was a formidable voice and worked tirelessly for change.
I thank Sen. Kennedy for his many years of service, struggle, leadership and compassion. I thank him for walking a line between ration and ideology, between what is right and what can be accomplished. I thank him for persevering through so many personal tragedies, mistakes and moments of humility that show us that you don’t have to be perfect to be a politician, you just have to keep doing your job. As an Irishwoman, I raise a pint in his honor, and I hope the winds of God blow gently on him and guide him to his next leg of the journey.
Full Moon and Prenumbral Eclipse in Aquarius (13 degrees, 43 minutes)
8:55 and 8:59 pm, Eastern Daylight Time, August 5th 2009
I thought it might be helpful for people to know about the natural energies available to us tonight as we do our Wednesday Night Clearings at 8pm EDT. For those of you who are new to this, I have been encouraging Reiki students, light workers, and others to participate in clearings my Reiki Master, Kathleen Milner, started over a year ago. Hundreds of people have been participating. It is a powerful way to heal yourself and heal the planet. Reference the Wednesday Night Clearings on the menu above for more information about how to get involved. You will feel an immediate boost in your energy by participating. You do not have to be a Reiki practitioner to do the clearings, they are for anybody to use. And you can use them any time!!
Just 55 minutes after we start tonight there will be a Full Moon in Aquarius (8:55 EDT), and 4 minutes later a Prenumbral Lunar Eclipse (8:89 EDT. This Eclipse is the third in a row in the past six weeks. So we will be feeling the overall effect of these three eclipses (2 lunar and one solar) for the next 2 weeks.
The effects we will be able to feel and use tonight to further our healing are interesting. Aquarius heralds the call for change, and we awaken to the fact that one small person can make a big difference. In true Aquarian fashion, this is a night to step into the role of mentor and renounce the attraction to focusing only on your own life. By giving to others we can bring the vision of upliftment for humanity into being. It all starts with us, in this moment.
The other planets are in places to support this kind of change. Neptune (compassionate intention) Jupiter (the benefactor) and Chiron (the healer) are also in Aquarius to help support humanity and get us out of ego/Mercury (thoughts and speech) in Virgo (service)/Pluto in practical Capricorn, Venus in compassionate Cancer/action oriented Mars in open-minded Gemini and Uranus in Pisces urging awakened consciousness - all invite us to rest deeply in the realization the we are not our egos, we are part of something so much bigger.
This is a full moon of speaking out, engaging in the politics around you and bringing an enlightened state into reality. One way to do this is to bring meditation into the forefront of our lives, and in the global community.
Tonight I’d like to encourage everyone to meditate after doing the clearings from 8:45 to 9:10 to help seal the energies released by this potent and promising astrological configuration. That would be a great way for us help.

Filmmaker and friend, Ashley Young, reposted these interviews she did last year. All 8 parts are now available on YouTube, or on the video interviews section above.
In this interview, I try to describe what I do as a medium and why connecting with the unseen world can help us in all kinds of ways. I’m really new at being in front of the camera, as I’m usually promoting others, but it was a lot of fun to do these pieces. I hope you enjoy them.

Working with Spirit, The Unseen World
Shaman Healer Cathy Towle – Part 1
As a mom, meduim, shaman and ardent enviromenalist, I have been thinking of how to teach my kids about my beliefs without hitting them over the head with it. How do I impart my love for nature, it’s relationship to our souls, and it’s basis in spiritualism? How do I show them that the earth holds us in an embrace that allows us to soar as spirits as we live here on it’s surface. All that beauty and stillness that reflects who we are inside needs protecting. Are we are able to take little actions that help restore balance, even if it seems unimportant or even silly?
A few weeks ago my family and I drove upstate from NYC to visit friends for the weekend. It was a beautiful day and the kids were excited to be going to the country. As we drove, I started to notice wtih dismay a lot of road kill. I had never seen so many dead animals along the side of the road. Beavers, racoons, a possum, various woodchucks.
We saw four dead deer, a site I had never seen before. Something inside me was very disturbed by that. There is something magical about deer for me. Especially being a city dweller. Deer appear for a moment along the side of the road. If you are lucky, you see them, and then they are gone. Such regal, gentle creatures. To see them along the side of the road, some brutally mangled, was undignified and violent. Even the kids grew very somber as we saw the last one.
We spend a nice two days drinking in the outdoors. As we were leaving on the back country road, we pulled onto a busier main road to get to the NY State Thruway. We hadn’t goen very far when I saw something in the road. As I came up to it, and was about to run it over, I saw that it was a turtle crossing the road. I drove over it without hitting it, but just barely. Everyone in the car had the same thought, “Stop the car Mommy, we’ve got to save that turtle!” I turned around and drove back. My husband Tom, who is usually maddenly slow, jumped out of the car and shepherded the turtle across the road, completely stopping traffic. Interestingly enough, the cars that stopped waited until they saw the turtle reach safety, and then they moved on. Tom waited, afraid that having saved the turtle, it might head back onto the road (he had experience with this). It dissapeared into the tall grass and my kids and I all breathed a sign of relief. He’d made it! Tom got back in the car jubilant, as the kids and I cheered. I only hoped we had actually pointed it in the right direction!
It was amazing that such a small act made us feel so good. It’s as if we righted the wrong of all the dead animals we had seen the day before. The sense of helplessness we had felt seemed to vanish. Instead of continuing on, we all had connected with something inside us that said “act now.” Our intuition had reached through and we all heard it together. That was the lesson right there, just waiting for us on the highway.
Spiritualism is intertwined with nature in that it’s the simple order of things. In societies where spiritualism is revered, nature ceremonies and a shamanistic viewpoint form the consciousness of community. Most ritual takes place out side and requires a connection with the earth, with a rock, with water. It involves the elements, the sun, the moon, the weather. In nature based societies spirit is imbued in all things. Spirit is as real as everything else that our consciousness holds. The ancestors walk with us, spirit helpers walk with us. And our relationship to the earth is vital. The earth holds the dreamtime, the underworld, the unconscious. If we succeed in destroying it, we destroy all that too.
Lessons in stewardship find us if we are listening. And if we are willing to act, even if it seems small, we can find a connection to spirit in those moments. We can find a connection to our hearts and our souls that can sustain us and help us to take bigger actions, and before we know it, we are changing our selves and we are changing the planet. It all starts with holding it in our hearts to ask the question – How can we take care of our planet? The spirits around are waiting to hear us ask. And we will be shown the way.
Happy Lammas! The harvest season begins. Hmmm, let’s see what we are reaping right now…rampage in the middle east, more debt, less services, higher oil prices, heat waves, huge oil spills in Alaska, deadly typhoon in China. If one didn’t know better, we would think Shiva was on a rampage. What kind of seeds have we sown to get us into this mess???
I know, I know, lets not focus on the negative! But I just can’t help thinking, how have I contributed to this? I am a part of the shaping of this world. My thoughtforms count for something! How have I gone along with things I didn’t believe in, that paved the way for leaders to run rampant and become self serving? How many times have I not said what I was thinking because I wanted others to like me? How many times have I passed opportunities to be of service and left it for others to do? How many times have I left a mess for others to clean up?
Now, I am no angel!! I have a messy side, like all the other humans. But, like it or not, my behavior affects others. Cause the little things count. And they lead to bigger things, and bigger things, and there you have it! I guess that means that if I cleaned up after myself and didn’t leave messes, then it would free up all the others who have been cleaning up after me to do other things. Heck, maybe they would have time to clean up after themselves and wow, what a concept. You can see where this is going!
All that aside, I am really grateful tonight. My garden looks great this year. I have so much to be thankful for, so much I have sown has come to pass. Although my life is busy at the moment, I have time to spend with my children. I have time to think, time to speak, time to be still. There is love in my life. I had a good day at work today. I am happy in this moment.
The cool thing about the capacity to live life is that we can hold space in the good at the same time as holding space among the mess. Which makes us much more accessable to each other. I guess what I want to learn to be is “in the mess but not of it.” To not let the mess define me, or limit my thinking about the present. To be among the mess and be a part of it. So I can be a part of changing it. It’s good to recognise the mess we are in, so that we can see what we need to clean it up.
Well that’s enough musing for tonight. Happy cleaning!!!
You know, I just sometimes have to rant. The Guru thing really bothers me. Not that I think teachers are a bad thing, on the contrary. Teachers are most needed, especially on a spiritual path. But it’s how we relate to them that causes such distress. It’s the deification of teachers, the giving away of our power, the self doubt that flowers and blooms when we open ourselves up that allows others to take advantage of us.
It’s all very subtle. And in some instances it’s very sweet and innocent. When I found a teacher, the first thing I wanted to do was to give it over to this person to fix me. In that fantasy, she had to have a lot of power to pull that off. So I became small and messed up, and the teacher became savior and fixer up’er. I lost a lot of ground that way.
What happened to our own inner teachers? Our inner compass? The discernment of right and wrong? How have we, in this culture, learned to relate to spiritual teachers and teaching in general?
I think the greatest secret that we push away is the enormous power and potential that each one of us possesses. It’s really awesome. And most of it is untapped, because we don’t know how to access it. Yet, when we are quiet, still, letting the magic of “nothing” wash over us, ahhh, we feel it!! It doesn’t take living in a monestary or extreme practices to make this stuff come alive. But it does take us noticing. And remembering, and noticing again. And just holding it for a moment. And thanking it for being there.
I’ve been thinking about something the Dali Lama said about teachers. He said something like this, “Test a teacher for 12 years before taking them on. Spy on them. See what they are like in real life.” Wow, 12 years. I guess there is no emergency there!! I am inferring that as you go about testing your teacher, that you are also listening to your own inner teacher. That if it takes 12 years, it might not be about handing my life over to another, as we so often want to do. Especially along the “bhakti” or “heart opening” path. Instead it might be about growing up alongside a teacher. Being human right next to them. It might mean that I take on some teachings and not others. Accept the dark and the light sides, as it points out my own. It means that I don’t give up my self, push away my ego, but let it get polished as I see what happens. And maybe I’ll pass my own test as well. For am I not also testing myself just as much?
Sometimes I feel that I have soooo much to learn. It’s overwhelming. And then, a friend calls for support, and the most amazing stuff just pops right out of my mouth. Wise, sage like stuff. Where the heck does that come from I ask? Oh…it’s that inner guru. My inner guru shmuru again! (I just like sayin that – guru schmuru!) It makes it’s presence known to me in crazy wild ways. And it keeps me humble, for I never know when it will strike, but it always does. If I remember to look for it. It’s a relationship. We are equals, partners, moving hand in hand. Looking for ways to connect with each other.
That’s how I feel about spirit communication. The spirit world is there all the time. Ready for us to reach out and ask it to be with us. The spirit world is amazing, it’s layered and luscious, and so much fun to be with. My mind keeps being blown, cause I grew up fearing the unseen world. Even though I was totally fascinated by it. Elves, faries, gnomes, earth sprites, all these beings of my childhood captured my imagination. Somehow, my christian upbringing put notions of evil and scariness that separated me from my spirits. It has taken me a long time to reconnect. They are my teachers, my guides, my helpers, my friends.
So teachers come in all forms, inner and outer. Seem and unseen. We need to embrace them all, but with a lot of room to grow. It’s a great journey.
