The great gift of a spiritual path is coming to trust that you can find a way to true refuge. You realize that you can start right where you are, in the midst of your life, and find peace in any circumstance. Even at those moments when the ground shakes terribly beneath you—when there’s a loss that will alter your life forever—you can still trust that you will find your way home. This is possible because you’ve touched the timeless love and awareness that are intrinsic to who you are.” - Tara Brach

The intense transformative energy of Scorpio meets with the New Moon today, combined with the "Dark Time" between Samhain & Yule. In this time of self reflection and planning, utilize this moon phase to begin work to really change something about yourself that no longer serves you. It's a great time to start some shadow work!

Saraswati . . . the Goddess of knowledge, music and the arts.
May her song inspire you to evolve and grow . . .

On October 22, 1980, the Dead began their eight night residency at Radio City Music Hall.

To announce the series, Dennis Larkins created one of the most iconic Grateful Dead posters, which was originally ordered to be destroyed by Radio City Music Hall as management suggested the image represented the idea of death upon the venue.

Happy Samhain, y'all

"Children from a very young age should be taught that the Sun rises in the East and sets in the West, that if you point your right hand to the East, your face will face North and your back will face South, that the direction of the water in a river is the direction towards the sea, that the Moon rises in the East and sets in the West, that if there is no moon there is a star that indicates the north and your latitude, that the more to the horizon you see the Polar Star, the closer You are from Ecuador, if you see a bird in the middle of the sea it is because there is land where it flies.

Respect and love for animals, trees, the earth and the elements that give us life.

Teach them all this before giving him a cell phone because the cell phone runs out and the signal is lost... wisdom is never lost.

Let's not let them lose connection."

What "flat-landers" don't understand about Aspens. Leave them out of your yard, unless you are ready to support a "stand"

Have you ever noticed aspen trees grow in groups? Aspen trees aren't like other trees. They're actually part of a larger organism system where a group, also known as a stand, of aspens are connected by the same larger root system. In a stand, each tree is a genetic clone of each other.

In fact, the oldest-living aspen clone is more than 80,000 years old, located in Utah's Fishlake National Forest.

2023 Year at a Glance for Scorpio

Last year you learned the power of choosing to be in the moment, making decisive decisions, and committing yourself to just doing what needs to be done. Congratulations! The ability to lunge at momentary opportunities is a key that will open the door to endless opportunities.

There has been a long-standing demand for you to settle down, which can be scary and daunting. It requires a certain degree of conformity, and with all the new knowledge that you're developing, it's likely a struggle to find home base.

The best way to get through the beginning of 2023: acceptance. Accept where you are right now and release the desire to create drastic change, unless you are convinced that a complete change is what you desire. If you spend this year unable to ground yourself, it will be difficult to find your place.

Focus on your fitness, develop a structured routine, and pay closer attention to your health. The most difficult part of taking care of yourself is starting, and then it becomes second nature.

Towards the end of the year, there will be room for love and romance. Recognize that not every connection needs to turn into a commitment, and love does come with risks, and those risks should make sense. Remember the responsibility that comes with sustaining an intimate relationship. It's not easy, but it can be meaningful.

No joke, last night as I pressed the shutter for this image two guys were running up the road with their backs to the rising full Harvest Moon. They had a wireless speaker on them playing a song pretty loudly - Bad Moon Rising by CCR. I yelled over at them, ‘GREAT SONG!’ while motioning 180° towards the sky. They turn around, running backwards, and one of them yells out a nice, loud ‘WHOO!’ Sooo Funny 😆 

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.
I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light.
For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

~ Wendell Berry 💚
