Happy anniversary! Sorry you've not been feeling well but how nice to get out to the Maine coast to take in some healing energy. The pictures are glorious, love the shadow :-)

Also worth noting that this is your 80th missive... wow. Volatile feels quite apropos the current quality of time.

It is amazing to me as well! To watch how they flow, change, evolve. How they have been training and reshaping me and my experience of language, image, time, myth. I am so intrigued by what is to come 🫴

I hadn't thought of it through your eyes and what an amazing experience/experiment this must be, birthing these missives over the past two years. Likewise, I'm curious to see how this continues to unfold, especially with the backdrop of the times we are in. Who knows maybe there is an inspirational book in the making (?) that could attempt to capture the essence of the path that you're on 😊

I am also amazed at the process! We're coming up on the 2 year anniversary of the birth of this project, Beltane 2023. Last I checked, putting all the poetic writings together totals around 400 pages -- not including images or forewords! There are already two collections I've made with them, in various stages of publication. So much of all this is in conversation with larger processes than I have access to -- trying to follow my instructions with the highest fidelity I can muster, and the greatest degree of polish I can deliver with the tools at hand. So thrilled to be on the adventure with you!~ 🎶 in concert
