It’s okay to be irritated. It doesn’t make you a bad person.

It’s okay to not get what you want. It’s even better when you do.

Amazing, in fact.

Everything changes when we realize that Life/God/dess/Whomever is on our side.

That Life pushes us forward, in grace and the eternal new.

Or the new eternal — with the ancient women, bearded sages and little ones showing us the way.

The signs? Everywhere.

Hearts traced in potatoes, the whispering dreams, the moments of peace that still your breath.

The carrying wind, the scratched pencil marks, the prayers spoken so earnestly.

The fire that emerges when we allow the space for it.

Ready?

Let’s go.

Roar, baby. Roar.

The Triple Goddess has been on my mind this week–namely, the Crone.

I spent a hot day last summer on a bumpy rock in the middle of the Williams River painting the Triple Goddess: Maiden, Mother, Crone.

There’s something about the sweet fullness of summer in Vermont — the richness of this brief life — that brings out the Crone.

The wisdom, reflection and a deep understanding that reaches beyond my 41 years.

That’s the Crone in me.
