Knowing What We Know
“I’m a true believer because I have no choice.
Too many times, I’ve seen a radical transformation
in children and adults who simply take the time
to tune in - not just show up, but really tune in - and learn a thing or two
about what the robin already knows.”
Sometimes, knowing comes fast, unexpected in its certainty and its emphatic insistence that we act on what we've been given, and surrender to what is being revealed in all the gifts. This is what happened for me last weekend. I had been digging, digging, digging for something I knew was there but could not yet name. The voice in my head kept telling me to stop but I couldn't. So, I kept going, feeling simultaneously a bit foolish and also more certain.
And then there it was - an understanding that rocked my view of the world and reshapes what I have been given to say. For now it's still partially buried, like a seed entrusted to Earth until the right moment arrives to emerge into the sunlight. It's a gathering time, as the knowing sends down its roots to receive the nourishment and the anchoring it needs to grow tall and bear fruit.
Along with this knowing came a recognition that every moment, starting now, belongs to the book; to the essential listening and contemplation, and the undistracted focus required to call it into form. So...
I am suspending Earth Altar blog posts for the rest of this year in order to pour myself into the manuscript. Thank you all for joining me as we celebrate, grieve and ponder together each New and Full Moon. I look forward to seeing you in 2025!
With love and deep gratitude,
wishing each of you every possible blessing in a world restored.
