our Whole Grove: January 2014

http://ourwholegrove.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Notes from the mountaintop underground. Tuesday, January 7, 2014. Holidays past, looking for a semblance of normality as the sun shines across the landscape of snow. Freezing temps to give way to just above 32° so the precipitation we receive will be sleet or rain. and then it will go back down to below zero. The lives of water constantly changing as the thermometer roller-coasts this season. The hard winter I knew would come is here. Solstice ritual was an energy shift,. To capture in the moment,. Even ...

Notes from the mountaintop underground. Tuesday, May 6, 2014. The birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees. This season of Beltane has been bursting and flowing. What is the watershed? What is blooming, what is healing, what is passion? Flowers fill my eyes with color,. Subtle shades of pinks and greens,. Bright yellows of daffodils and pale yellows of daffodils,. Faint orange peach blossoms and deep rose purple tulips and lavender violets. We are all healing and alive, give thanks. Of course wit...

our Whole Grove: November 2013

http://ourwholegrove.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Notes from the mountaintop underground. Wednesday, November 6, 2013. Things have odd beginnings and odd endings. First sun of this cold day, this day that begins winter, there will be no more t-shirt days until next year. It is cold, and cold for the duration. More time inside than outside. Leaves illuminated with the setting light with background grey. So many deaths and strange sadness. So much weirdness and wyrrdness and tears. Letting in the pernicious evil, the zombies,. I choose love and kindness.

our Whole Grove: Summer Storms

http://ourwholegrove.blogspot.com/2015/06/summer-storms.html

Notes from the mountaintop underground. Saturday, June 27, 2015. We held our MidSummer Solstice on Friday June 19th,. Our wedding anniversary, rather than on the solstice proper, because we run an art program at the Clearwater Revival on the weekend and we try to always make the timing of our gatherings accessible to most. We probably were breaking sticks at the exact time of solstice. Summer is as always non-stop. Ritual day was nice and simple,. Even with overbooked time,. Right on schedule,. From our ...

Notes from the mountaintop underground. Monday, January 12, 2015. Midwinter solstice cool yule. Days noticeably longer- like by a half hour. And with these nights of bright moon, even the dark is less so. . 20 days since Solstice. Halfway to Imbolc. It will be Spring. Even if the days of single digit temps are here finally. We are needing enforced down time as we evolve through this wombtime of winter. Upon a bed of ashes we built our fire. On a day of cold with lightly scattered snow. 160; runes on ice.

Notes from the mountaintop underground. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Finally written, coded and uploaded and coded again. It's still the Magical Month of May but barely. Regular work gone irregular and twice as much. The glitch of computers make this an old-style almost manual posting. Without as much creative options which make this a loving art form for me. We are always limited by our mediums, by our programs, by the center or left or right setting. And it is good to be in the summertime,. In the garden now.

our Whole Grove: April 2015

http://ourwholegrove.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

Notes from the mountaintop underground. Sunday, April 19, 2015. Vernal Equinox, Snowy Spring-Times change quickly. We had been seeing the melt, rejoicing at the land, walking into the woods and gathering much needed sticks, wearing less clothes, almost as if it was. The spring is a prolonged heart racing moment of sudden and imperceptible complete change. It is this time still cold and with the wood stove burning, but eating dinner late because it is light after 7. Restless teenager, balancing adults.

our Whole Grove: February 2014

http://ourwholegrove.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html

Notes from the mountaintop underground. Sunday, February 23, 2014. Imbolc, harbinger of Spring, part 2. It snows. And snows more. We are in an endless landscape of white, renewed every other day, with a bit of time in between to clear a way out. Today is another grey, snowy, cold, silent day. But it is light until 6 and it will be March next week and we will have floods and mud soon. I know small critters scurry beneath the feet of snowpak. I know the stream gurgles under the ice. Then there were the art...

Notes from the mountaintop underground. Sunday, April 27, 2014. Ok now less than a week until Beltane. And down the mountain. The trees bloom, it rains and is still a bit cold. Fast paced bursting forward of shoots and bugs and buds. We watch the lilac leaves grow daily, the forsythia yellow and the landscape come to color. Birds everywhere, the brook rushes loud. It makes you want to dance with joy on our Earth. Though we woke to ice and snow in NYC last week. And had leftover snow here for a few days,.
