I wrote this piece in one of the hardest struggles I have had to face as a mother trying my best to pave a new path. In my absolute lowest, I could not shake my dreams. In fact, as a mother on Welfare (yes I said it!) leaving a ridiculously toxic relationship, I made investmentsContinue reading “A Dreamer in Downtown”

Mercury Retrograde: Backwards Medicine
Enter the reigns of backwards medicine. It is here that I remember to learn to laugh off the cosmic joke surely after a good amount of angst and frustration is felt. I give thanks for my life. Thanks Creator for this thing called life, for the breath that enters me like a dosage of tranquilityContinue reading “Mercury Retrograde: Backwards Medicine”
Channeling the Creatress
The inspiration to create art, to philosophize and to create music feeds my fire and penetrates my soul. I am learning that consciousness is on a schedule. Before every major evolutionary change consciousness equips us with the tools to ensure our survival. There is so much power in learning and the ability to imagine anotherContinue reading “Channeling the Creatress”
Blooming with Venus
We know plenty about the Greek/ Roman mythology of Venus/ Aphrodite -the tempestuous and sometimes capricious goddess of love. We know, perhaps vaguely, the western astrology concept of Venus and its reigns on our intimacy and love relationships according to our horoscope signs and houses. And if you were paying attention to your social mediaContinue reading “Blooming with Venus”
The Cosmic Dance
There are basic scientific principles of the sun, moon and earth, which all early ancestors of humanity were able to discern. The movements of these bodies create the dance that inform our relation to time and emotional cycles or biorhythms that all of earth’s creatures experience. The sun is in constant movement flowing outward magneticContinue reading “The Cosmic Dance”
a yearning for spirit rooted activism
I belong to a change-making community. I co-exist with co-creators and visionaries with the audacity of imagining other world of possibilities. Alternately, I have co-habited with people who treat dreamers like me with contempt. I am often hurt by the frequented injustice that we experience both intimately and publicly. I am horrified by the uglinessContinue reading “a yearning for spirit rooted activism”
la sagrada muerte
I struggle to make sense of the great mystery’s hand in how or why events transpire with such pain. It’s humbling for a divinator and yet I must remember there is a reason truth does not always reveal itself. Not one human is all knowing for it will negate the power of great mystery. Still,Continue reading “la sagrada muerte”
Crossroads of Choice
In the Codice Borgia there’s an image of a matron energy called Itzpapalotl, the obsidian butterfly, with her face torn off exposing her flesh. She is not evidence of savage sacrifice as it is easy for the western academics to point out. She’s more of a zombie with eagle talons for fingers and jaguar wrists. TheContinue reading “Crossroads of Choice”
Son de Todos: Tradition and Community
“Hasta que el pueblo las canta Las coplas coplas no son Y cuando las canta el pueblo Ya nadie sabe el autor Procura tu que tus coplas Vayan al pueblo a parar Que al volcar el corazón En el alma popular Lo que se pierde de gloria Se gana de eternidad” -Anonymous The conquest ofContinue reading “Son de Todos: Tradition and Community”
quantum mysteries
I am not a scientist and have no interest in becoming one. It is, however, important to me to understand some of the principles of science, namely quantum mechanics, at a lay-person’s level to make sense of the world in which I inhabit. I practice earth-based spirituality, so as I read through articles and watch youContinue reading “quantum mysteries”
