MAY 2025
I’ve been curating this Free Page for almost a decade.
Usually my May picks are all flowers, full moons and pollinators.
2025 is a different kind of year.
I don’t think there ever has been a year like this one, and (thankfully) I don’t think there ever will be again.
This month we need to keep coming back to the heart, body, spirit and the earth.
Our minds are, quite understandably, on overdrive. And, it is not you, alone, on overdrive, EVERYONE’S minds are on overdrive. We are having a species-wide glitch - a totally natural and understandable nervous-system response to the true danger of this historical moment.
However, we can use experiences from meditation - with the heart, body, spirit and the earth - to orient ourselves so the mind isn’t the only one navigating as we move through the ever-shifting sands of this indeed chaotic era.
Also influencing my picks this month, I especially wanted to give you meditations that are uplifting, that help us find the beauty in life again. All of the May picks are reliable for that.
Liquid Color is a glorious meditation full of beautiful sensation and of course, a visceral experience of color.
The Internet I picked because well… we’d all do well to get a bird’s eye view of our collective relationship with the tentacled infinity that is modern technology.
The Frequency visualization is here to “update” or “upgrade” our energetic settings, in a fun way; in case anyone might need that.
Earth & Sky reinstates what I call our “vertical integrity”; it orients us to our position as little channels for energy and information that flows between the great earth and the open sky.
Dream BIG, you ARE magic…

“Real magic requires your intention, your choice to harmonize. Of course it does. The heron cannot cast starlight onto the dark shallows to entrance the bluegills. Not unless you do your part. You must choose to meet her halfway. And when you do, you may find that magic isn’t a dismissal of what is real. It’s a synthesis of it, the nectar of fact becoming the honey of meaning.”
-Jarod Anderson

"The important thing about despair is never to give up, never wrap up and put away a sterile life, but somehow keep it open. Because you never can know what's coming; never. That's the great thing about life, the crucial thing to remember. You may beat your fists on a stone wall for years and years, and every consideration of common sense will say it's hopeless, forget it, spare yourself; and then one day your bleeding hand will go through as if the wall were theatrical gauze; you'll be in another realm where birds are singing and love is possible, and you'd have missed it if you'd given up, because it might be only that one day the wall was not stone."
- Allen Wheelis
"When you stop thinking about yourself all the time, a certain sense of repose overtakes you. It happened to me by imperceptible degrees and I could not really believe it; I could not really claim it for some time. I thought there must be something wrong. It's like taking a drink of cold water when you are thirsty. Every tastebud on your tongue, every molecule in your body says thank you."
- Leonard Cohen
