You make things better, right now, just by being you! Your writing resonates, deeply, and reminds me of my own music. You are body, string, musician, muse. Thank you sister, love, and moon!

Love this. I remember one of your first Full-Moon gatherings up on the ridge in our backyard.

It's okay, I cry sometimes too. Other days, I smile. Might as well feel it all, right?

again, you inspire. this full moon in the interior has been difficult for many. How something so beautiful gets stuck with such a bad wrap for madness?

Thank you so much for your good words Grandma Patt. Yes, it's been tough for folks up there. Next time I burn cedar, I will send some good vibes north for things to ease up. Maybe the moon is so beautiful, it drives some to madness. Others, like me, to reminiscing.
