OCTOBER 2025
This month I feel we are best served with meditations that -
1. tap us into the mystery
2. show us how to use whatever energy or imagery we discover
Serpentine is an excellent body-wise grounding practice. Dark Matter is an excellent and liberating quantum experience. Familiar is some excellent time spent with an animal guide. Night Magic is an excellent transition from daily life to the dream state.
Sending you lots of love and magic power in these strange times…

Please bring strange things.
Please come bringing new things.
Let very old things come into your hands.
Let what you do not know come into your eyes.
Let desert sand harden your feet.
Let the arch of your feet be the mountains.
Let the paths of your fingertips be your maps
And the ways you go be the lines of your palms.
Let there be deep snow in your inbreathing
And your outbreath be the shining of ice.
May your mouth contain the shapes of strange words.
May you smell food cooking you have not eaten.
May the spring of a foreign river be your navel.
May your soul be at home where there are no houses.
Walk carefully, well-loved one,
Walk mindfully, well-loved one,
Walk fearlessly, well-loved one.
Return with us, return to us,
Be always coming home.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin, Always Coming Home

Describing what a Muse is feels like trying to list every name we have for soul, spirit, god and ghost. Something outside of the artist asks to come in and when we say yes, we’re filled with ideas and clarity.
…
May the Muses land with warm welcome, may we call upon them often and receive their guidance with openness.

“Dreaming is very hard these days for me. I do not speak of nighttime journeys through abandoned college campuses and ivy-digested train stations, flanked by dire wolves and copper colored snakes, always wandering through some distant dystopic Hudson Valley. No. I still dream at night vividly. Horrifically sometimes. But waking-ideation - dreaming towards a potential future - feels really hard. Not just because of the collective chaos of the world right now. But also, because my own body, and my own career, feel precarious.
I know it’s important to orient.
The ship must know what wind it aims to catch, what star it follows.”
“I sense there’s a growing feeling among many people, that they - and the vast majority of humanity - are mere spectators to the actions of ‘Great Men’. You wake up in the morning and see what the Great Men have decided to do with your life. Even the supporters of those men seem to take on a passive role of cheering them on, or interpreting their actions like soothsayers interpreting the bones.
This sense of passivity is mirrored in the psyches of the Great Men, who live under the illusion that their own actions do indeed shape the world, that they are god-like deities that can singlehandedly reshape a complex system, rather than being mere outcomes of that system.”
“Suppose that we said yes to a single moment, then we have not only said yes to ourselves, but to the whole of existence. For nothing stands alone, either in ourselves or in things; and if our soul did but once vibrate and resound with a chord of happiness, then all of eternity was necessary to bring forth this one occurrence—and in this single moment when we said yes, all of eternity was embraced, redeemed, justified and affirmed.”
— Nietzsche
