from one full moon to another

Vulnerable

February 26, 2018 / Grace Lucille / Leave a comment

Why is it so hard to be vulnerable with others? Oh, I don't know, because vulnerability is vulnerability?! Because people can hurt you when you let your guard down? Because when you've spoken up, people don't listen? Or instead, they judge you up and down and now you have to bear the weight of their … Continue reading Vulnerable

Projections of the Past

February 23, 2018February 23, 2018 / Grace Lucille / Leave a comment

This post continues the themes of Strike the Root and We're more alike than different. Last night I came across more commentary about the youth taking a stand to demand gun reform. And I felt so conflicted. I find myself really wanting to support their efforts because how can you deny them? How can you get in the … Continue reading Projections of the Past

We’re more alike than different

February 22, 2018February 22, 2018 / Grace Lucille / Leave a comment

This post continues the themes I wrote about several days ago in my post Strike the Root (click link to read). My dear friend Jeremy recently stated that, "We're more alike than different." This is an idea I've mulled over for awhile, and it's becoming more true to me as I explore what motivates all the different … Continue reading We’re more alike than different

the pains of the past

February 20, 2018February 20, 2018 / Grace Lucille / Leave a comment

Do the pains of the past ever stop hurting? Does one ever "get over" anything? Is there a way to process something to where it never again rises up and seeks to destroy you? I go through this process every cycle and now it's just starting to feel like torture. Because it's the same old … Continue reading the pains of the past

the great sea

February 19, 2018February 19, 2018 / Grace Lucille / Leave a comment

There are nights when in my sleep I stand in the doorway between the worlds I stand on the edge of enlightenment and peer into a realm which reveals the answers to all my questions and the secret keys to all mysteries of life. And suddenly, I'm in. I find myself swirling in rhythm and … Continue reading the great sea

Strike the Root

February 18, 2018February 18, 2018 / Grace Lucille / 1 Comment

Like many others, I find myself emotionally charged right now in the aftermath of yet another mass school shooting. Everyone is arguing over gun control and I'm literally getting a headache thinking through all of it. I like to think of myself as an open-minded person, and when it comes to the topic of gun … Continue reading Strike the Root

The Shifting Light

February 14, 2018February 14, 2018 / Grace Lucille / Leave a comment

My favorite times of day are the times when the light shifts. That's when I can feel the breath of the expansive living soul of the universe brush against my own breathing soul. There's something magical about the time just before dawn. I feel closer to all the goodness of life right before the sun … Continue reading The Shifting Light

Death, the Comforter

February 11, 2018 / Grace Lucille / Leave a comment

Last spring I had an interesting encounter with Death. Ok, not actual death, but a personification of death. I'll skip the fun details as to how it began.  What eventually happened is that I had a writing conversation with some aspect of myself that identified as Death personified. We had a good chat about some … Continue reading Death, the Comforter

The Dramatic Voice

February 4, 2018 / Grace Lucille / Leave a comment

Drama is born of drama.  Sometimes I feel like I need to scream in order to be heard. If the reality is not enough to be convincing, then we can just put on a performance. People want to be entertained. Ultimately we love the drama. I'm not sure how it got this way.  The outward … Continue reading The Dramatic Voice

You Are In Love

January 31, 2018February 1, 2018 / Grace Lucille / Leave a comment

"You can hear it in the silence..." You would call me all the time, and often there would be long periods of silence when neither of us had anything to say. We let the silence linger. Instead of deciding the conversation was over and hanging up, we stayed on the line. It's not that we … Continue reading You Are In Love

This is my favorite human (but definitely not my favorite hair style on him). We've been together now for like 12 years or something like that. We didn't understand each other's sense of humor at first, which made me a little nervous since I love to laugh and share jokes. But over the years we seemed to develop our own language of comedy and we laugh together all the time. We are constantly quoting lines at the exact same time, our brains are fusing together or some weird shit like that.
I dream of a world where we don't have to numb our bodies and hearts and minds in order to survive...
I think a lot of women carry the ancestral memory of witch burnings. We don't consciously remember it, but somewhere in our cellular memory is the remembrance that women with gifts of healing were routinely tracked down and burned as heretics by the Church, which was the "scientific" institution of the day.
Sometimes you feel like you've been rear-ended in a multiple vehicle car crash. All this energy comes up behind you and the force of impact rattles your entire body and mind.
Let my womb become your canvas
I keep pieces of nature all around my home. These little treasures greet me every time I go to wash my face or oil my nose and ears or scrape my tongue and brush my teeth. I am happy to see them whenever I am at the bathroom sink. They are reminders that I live on a beautiful world of endless fascination, and that the relationships with all other lifeforms are worth honoring and loving always. There is no such thing as independence. All of nature is intertwined in survival and thriving, we are all dependent upon the health of every other living being, seen and unseen.
Gratitude is the most pleasurable feeling, in my opinion. Gratitude is a recognition of the goodness in our lives. How else do we truly experience that goodness without recognizing it? If you do not appreciate something, then it must hold little value for you, and your experience of that thing is shallow and limited.
I have never cried so much while reading a book. Tears of grief and tears of love and tears of hope. There's entirely too much to say about it.
