We Hurt Because We Love and Belong

Pain, grief, and other sometimes difficult emotions are part of the Earth’s feedback mechanism. And Grief was always meant to held in community.

🐛 INCHING ALONG Sometimes I feel like I’m just inching along. And that’s okay. That I’m so small in the scheme of things. And that too is okay. How lucky and miraculous to be here at all. 🌈 THE HABITS OF SUNSET MOONRISE I find myself adopting an evening ritual. Taking my pillow and blanket down to the beach before sunset, I change out of my shorts into long pants and lay down to read and write and be with what is. Tonight it was the beautiful masterpiece Refuge by Terry Tempest Williams and the jotting down the beginnings of a poem about being bumped by a whale. So many poignant passages in Refuge: “I am slowly, painfully discovering that my refuge is not found in my mother, my grandmother, of even the birds of Bear River. My refuge exists in my capacity to love. If I can learn to love death then I can begin to find refuge in change.” ——- The epitome of endings, the early autumn sun reclines to the west; the epitome of change, the full moon stands up for her shift in the east. Seagulls soar and sandpipers scurry to the tune of harbor buoys, while sand flies feast on decaying seaweed. As the sun floats under the horizon, I add layers and sit up to meditate. Sometimes I can, sometimes not. Tonight I 'fail' after a few minutes. But I do notice how this ocean seems to somehow simultaneously embody change and permanence, stillness and motion. Sometimes it is too powerful for me to handle. I'm a man of the mountains and forest and cornfields, I tell myself, not waves. I admit, it's a mystery to me.. Yet I realize now that everything waves. Lately it is soothing. It washes out all that is still too rigid in me. Then I change once again, preparing for the night’s dreamscapes, the eye of the moon shining down on me, a silent collaborator in the work and in the play. 🌿RECLAIM YOUR WILD NATURE HEART - INTERACTIVE ONLINE COURSE I'm excited to be enrolling now for the Online October Course Reclaim Your Wild Nature Heart, a 6-class series for people transitioning or ready to transition to a deeper earth-centered life and eager to cultivate a deeper belonging to place and purpose. There are THREE SPOTS left for October. This is one of Wild Nature Heart’s offerings for helping us to repair broken belonging to the earth. There will be an almost identical course starting November 6, called DEEP BELONGING, with an evening meeting time. This course is for you if any of the following describes you: • You are longing for a deeper earth-centered, sensual, and meaningful life. • You know in your bones there is a more authentic, earth-honoring, community-centered way of living. • You are exploring, or want to explore, your inner wilderness and eager to expand your toolbox of exploration. • You are on the path of rewilding and cultivating a deeper belonging to place, purpose, and people.
