aiming to refit into service.. the well-loved and broken.. using beautiful patches
Many thanks to Professor George Toles for reposting this today on Facebook; for I’m transported to my own memories.. of so many completely different times and places.. where we all made ready and headed off...
When one lives a spiritual life, the emotions seem only one cm away, just as the light of Spirit is just one cm from conscious thought. In the glimmer of a thought, I can be...
I am grateful because.. I love mornings. When my sister and I were young, my mother would come into the room we shared and with mischievous joy, Mom would sing the following verse as she...
It’s coming in November to my what would have been my mom’s 85th birthday. She’s been gone now for almost 20 years, and I still miss her dearly. Maybe more now than ever, because I’m...
Since 7am (when my “Do not disturb” setting turns off), my phone has been dinging with little love letters, happy birthday wishes, the most beautiful messages of love and desire. I am really happy! Thank...

These days, we are making sense of things after climbing out of a deep sleep, post-pandemic.
Our bodies feel anxious about the rise of fascism and evidence of roiling climate crises at every turn.. and so, as we increase our conscious awareness, it’s important to increase connection, each in our own local communities and become fluent with our channels for mutual aid.
Attempting to maintain control through all this uncertainty is a normal response, though it’s likely to feel triggered and confused.. do relax and feel into whatever comes up, and know it is normal in urgent times like these.. reach out to loved ones, let them know they can count on you, and allow them to be there for you, too……
I’m over here in Vancouver Canada, picking up the pieces of my shattered life. I find it helpful to use writing (journaling) and making things, listening to the land and feeling into my ancestors and reclamation as therapy to work through (and hopefully beyond) post-concussion symptoms.
Thank you for visiting.
As always, I would love to hear from you.. the usual channels, or by email at hitrish @ gmail .com ❤️
