A movement behind the mirror The presence of one in red The brightness of Wisdom’s song A twin arriving softly Appearance of one in blue The beauty of Joy is here A space between has come to be Many colors can be found Seeing has an ancient name When two becomes three The Unseen RainbowContinue reading “When Two Becomes Three”

A Labrys of Twins and Pairs
I grew up in a world where all of the stories I heard were based on a two-sided binary. Male vs female, then vs now, war vs peace, day vs night, good vs bad were presented to me as the unarguable basis for everything else in the stories I heard as a child. What IContinue reading “A Labrys of Twins and Pairs”
The World and I talk about me.
I lived most of my life thinking that my experience as a non-binary spirit worker was so unusual and shameful that I shouldn’t acknowledge it, not event to myself. In more recent times, I have had the opportunity to listen and hold space as I hear story after story from other people who are inContinue reading “The World and I talk about me.”
Remembering how to be me.
Even if my mind does not remember the stories, songs, and dances the ancestors of my path did for connection, healing and seasonal celebration, my body remembers how to listen for their voices if I can learn to hear.

Video chat has taken the place of face-to-face meetings in many contexts, texting has replaced hours of phone calls and I have comment threads instead of conversations with several people at once. IContinue reading “What do you honor by your presence?”

Around The Tree
A circle made By learning feet Above the roots As walnuts fall Left unused As ashes rain A sky of orange A plume of smoke Calling friends Are you OK? My people safe Their towns in flames I breathe in A piece of place Something sacred Made by fire From trees I loved Animals IContinue reading “Around The Tree”
The Future Blooms Brightly
A flower is what comes up from the earth and makes new things burst into now from the past so that the future can come to be.
