I’m not going to pretend I think this is one of my best episodes. In fact, it feels like it’s one of my most rambling and least ‘helpful’. But it’s my birthday today and sometimes we get to just be human, not a’ helpful’ ‘resource’.

Sometimes good enough is just that.

So join me around the fire for a short and sweet episode and to hear my raw, unpolished wonderings about ritual; ceremony; thresholds; grieving and celebrating - both alone and together; and the absolute miracle of being alive.

I also offer you a game, if you will, you can join me in playing as a way of celebrating my birthday. If you do, let me know how it goes.

I’d love to hear.

May we explore and let the Great Mystery guide us into unplanned play from time to time. May we honor our grief as well as our dreams. May we experience and receive the nourishment of belonging to ourselves, each other, and the wider web of kin and aliveness. May we know where we are through gratitude for exactly who and what we are. In times of darkness and despair, may we come home again to Love.

Here’s to another turn around the sun. (And yes, that's me as a baby in the cover art for this episode)
