Full moon rising over Saco Bay. 30 seconds of respite from the craziness and violence.

The earth goes on, whether we destroy each other or not. I take comfort in that.

Last night in search of the full moon rise. It was too cloudy where I was but I could see to the north clearing skies. Southern Maine.

Piping plovers are back. Endangered in this area they return each year. Hopefully we will have some nesting pairs. #Maine #SacoBay

The eclipse this am. Not as red as i have experienced in the past because the sun is rising here in Maine at the same time. Saco Bay and Goosefare Brook marsh.

From Steven Charleston who is posting again on Facebook. This is his message found also in his book Ladder to the Light. If you are wondering what can you do. Pick up that book. Charleston is a poet, an indigenous elder and a bishop emeritus in the episcopal church.

On the beach the water in some of these ridges is frozen. When it is cold enough even salt water freezes. Have a beautiful day and stay warm.

Good morning. I walked yesterday on the beach. Our news is awash in pedophilia, racism, authoritarianism. I am praying, visioning and doing what i can locally. God have mercy on us for letting these evil men anywhere near power. I pray for the children of the world.

This wasn’t on today’s dance card. But there you have it. About 4 inches of wet snow in southern Maine. Not surprising for this time of year but often we hear about for days.

How are you? I am feeling hopeful as i think about ways i can contribute to the changes we need to make. Reminded of my mom this am who always gave a bag of groceries to the food pantry at church even when we had very little. She raised 7 kids with that ethic. Help others!!

Praying now every morning to the divine light that we may live in peace on this beautiful planet. I pray for all of us to wake ourselves to the shift and be love where we are. Blessed be.

Just before the sun broke through the horizon. Woke up feeling hopeful, seeing Iranian women lead the charge to end such a hateful regime of angry misogynist men.

My Christmas, grandson and daughter!! Hope you all had a great day.

The snow started as sleet. Then very dry and fluffy sticking to everything. A beautiful bit of Christmas cheer. Sending all here love for a community that is more than fear, it is connection and love for one another. Let’s envision the peaceful generative world we know we are capable of creating.

Walked this morning. A little chilly. Beautiful moon. Up before the sunrise to watch the day begin.

A solstice fire from a couple years ago. Remember some of our ancestors saw this as the turning of a new year, the Yule. My ritual on Dec 21 is to let go of everything i don’t want to bring into the new year. And light a candle for things i want to bring in. Get ready!!
