It is the universal statement of a star,
the message Orion

“I encourage you to retrace the threads of your sacred relationship to the earth. They are deeply encoded within you. Find a place you love enough to defend, and then commit to it completely. Protect all the natural beings who share that space. Live there with grace, respect, and gratitude for the privilege of having found a true home. You needn’t own the place, just love it. Create simple ceremony there. Invite the seven directions to join you there. This is how to create a sacred site.”

“Through the empty branches the sky remains.
Be earth now, and evensong.
Be the ground lying under that sky.
Be modest now, like a thing
ripened until it is real,
so that he who began it all
can feel you when he reaches for you.” —Rainer Maria Rilke

“Come let us sing a healing song together. Let us sing for the earth. Let the sounds of our voices bless and heal her and all the life she sustains. Let us make a joyful sound of healing for all of creation.”

“
Very little grows
on jagged rock.
Be ground.
Be crumbled,
so wildflowers will come up
where you are.
You’ve been stony for too many years.
Try something different.
Surrender.
