The above poem is from 2012. A time in my life when I was at the bottom of what I thought was the bottom. I remember the day the poem came through. It was like lightening…like motion…like the hand of the divine moving through and re-arranging all of my particles, a waiting since forever for something new to arise. Have you had that experience too?
I don’t have clear language for what poetry changes in us as it moves through. I don’t understand it. I just know it works. This poem was healing for me and for some reason it just wanted to land in your inbox today. I also made a video so you can watch the reading and even share it, if you feel called here.
I have a few things coming up in person, including in Sonoma this weekend where I am teaching with my husband, Jonathan. And today is a replay of my mini-workshop with the Shift Network where I offer an exercise I call Metacognitive Drawing. And, I am excited that my long awaited course, the Dance of the Critic and the Muse is live and ready for registrations. Come on over to my first class in maybe ever, that isn’t painting, yep, I know….?!WHAT? This one is pen and paper and no ‘art skill’ is needed, honest.
Thank you to all of you who prayed with me on MLK Day. I feel like I felt you.
I have a 7 Week online class coming up called The Dance of the Critic and the Muse, and guess what? For once it isn’t painting, I am working with pen and paper! We will be experiencing and illustrating 7 gates of initiation. This isn’t about talent with drawing, but we will be moving the pen with what I call ‘metacognitive drawing’. I have been working on this class for months, but really my whole life! This technology is sacred to me because it impacts all of our lives in such deeply profound ways – and it is truly time to transcend the constraints of that critic and fall in love with the muse!
I am collaborating with a local yet global education and evolution community, the Shift Network to bring this message to our mutual communities. They are located in Petaluma and many of my friends past and present are on that team there. I was delighted to be invited and to share quantum space with this spicy topic.
