I do not dream of labour.

I do not dream of labour.   You have likely heard this trope before. Right after the phrase “find what you love to do, then do that for work and you’ll never work a day of your life”. Or something like that.   This was clearly written by someone working some corporate job they hate,…

how language shapes our world

Of course!   But OF COURSE!   It struck me like lightning as I read “The Earth Path” by Starhawk. I’m reading words like “the energy embodied in systems, also stored, held available for future use … the solar budget” and I can feel in my bones that something is amiss.

south node in scorpio kind of spice

just let it go

just let it go … this is one of my most triggering things to hear.   I absolutely hate it when someone tells me to let something go.   Contemplating just what exactly is it about this particular phrase that just gets under my skin. I checked in with my body. And I landed on something juicy….
