Independence Day Martina McBride

This song came to mind , upon an update from a deserving

soul , who is liberating themselves today …

In homage to those who have been empowered to remove

themselves from harms way , and those who deserve support

derived from this soul who had to do it the hard way

but today feels nothing but independence from generations

of abuse .. Supported by spirit , by ancestors who did not

fare well in matters of children and marriage , finances

home , and AMA APA …socially …clearing this is amazing .

My intent was for a clearing for my earth family , each

unique son Divine graced me with , as well as myself .

I mourned for what I missed, what I lost , what was abused

and Bless my former self , whose fragments are less tragic

in lieu of the many gifts I have received and many of those

are intangible .

I would have never knowingly married anyone who was

masking trauma, addiction, etc who would harm me

or our children . My deepest , darkest pain has been

transformed , resulting in a purity of love and promise

the life I dreamed of , on my own with Beloved’s

love and respect ..new year , new beginnings ..

Truth is Light that is Love

Blessings & Peace

Doña Luna

Honoring a very long goodbye 👋

Solstice: Will Bason

I think of today as new year’s day. January first is just a calendrical convenience with absolutely no astronomical significance. The solstice, on the other hand has been observed by cultures all over the world from the neolithic if not the paleolithic up to the present time.  That is because it is real.  It’s a holyday, not a hollowday. 
 The solstice is the hinge on the gate to another year; worn smooth and charged from the attention and intentions of a thousand generations. More, actually. Think of all of our ancestors who honored it as still gathered here together around the solar bonfire. Today the ancestors check in Inside of us. Inside of the children. Being alive today means we have response ability.  This is a day to think about it.
Will Bason
The warmth of the Sun returns for us in the north, the needed coolness of night for those in the south. Give thanks and roll with it.  Keep the faith, people. Happy new year everyone.
