language as a transmuter and transmitter of mysteries, secrets and time (namely magic)


We are moving ever closer to the Winter's Solstice 2012. It's true, there is a lot of energy flying around out there (and inside).  

It seems ever more important to connect into ourselves and to Mother Earth, her wildness and her beauty.  Perhaps creating small rituals, as simple as placing a stone on your windowsill to remind you of her solidity, the way she holds you. Or perhaps a walk each evening as the night rises up and wraps around the city, so early, to remind yourself who you are between things.

Honoring these places of ceremony, of our own wilderness and discovering a way into the moments that connect us to the myriad around us, can be a powerful practice.

I recently did a co-interview with a fellow writer, j/j Hastain published by Angel House Press that touches into these very topics and what they mean to us as writers. Writing is one of the ways I touch and make sense of the world and to me is a ceremonial act.

May your solstice be filled with light and your own bright beauty!
