the lazy days of summer are escaping me. time is moving too quickly. barely a moment to catch my breath. one moment jumps to another. the days are a string of pearls that slip through my fingers each time i try to fasten the clasp. and yet... a few weeks ago by the light of a not quite full moon i drummed by the light of a small fire pit i built in the side yard. i played my flute in the sun. i have been harvesting mint like crazy. the chamomile is in full bloom as is the lemon balm. sage is sprouting and basil too.
driving the back way from my house to omega two fawn crossed my path. larry saw a fox on our way home from the movies one night. there are too many dead racoons in the road. turtles are sunning themselves on branches and rocks in ponds by the side of the road.
i have not had much art time lately. still plugging away on an installation piece that is coming together one small bit at a time. and i had a commission for a ring from a co-worker who just moved to hong kong. also, the catskill rural aids society asked for another donation of mazel tov, spice of life and healing herb magnets -- people apparently fight over them at these fund raisers to which i am happy to donate.
next weekend i will be leading a shamanic journey workshop at the women's martial arts special training in massachusetts. 350 women martial artists learning and sharing ancient styles and modern insights with one another.
