My book, The Sovereignty Knot, came out in February 2020, just as this novel coronavirus was starting to make headlines. Never could I have expected our world to be tied in such unspeakable knots and to see sovereignty come up so often in conversation.
Right now, I don’t know how to tell a story that isn’t rooted in the soil, soaked in the rain, singed by the fires, and aware of the climbing temperatures. I may not be writing about the climate directly, but I find I am always in conversation with the Mother, with the Earth, with all the unseen interactions between humans and nature.
I just want to go back to the womb cave and listen to endless drumming until I feel stars inside my skin.
Exhausted by all the doing, worrying, and waiting, we just want to get quiet and be held by an elemental heartbeat. We long to devote ourselves to beingness.
This writing prompt gives you the permission and inspiration to imagine a place beyond the doing and the striving.
Once upon the time, I used to use phrases like “world-changing” and “change the world” with wild abandon.
Now, that the world has changed so dramatically in just a matter of months, I realize we need to adjust the way we use such phrases. Instead, we’re called to invest ourselves in the transformative magic of “world-renewing.”
As a creative hoping to bring your art into the world there’s always a tension between keeping it light and keeping it real. Do you want to be palatable and easy to digest or do you want to explore the tough, necessary truths?
My online book launch event, Sovereignty When the World Is In Knots: Personal Power & Collective Magic In a Time of Uncertainty promises both. Here’s why that’s so important…
As so many of us attempt to adjust to staying apart from one another to stop the spread of Covid-19, we need Sovereignty more than ever. We need the kind of Sovereignty that supports the strength & resilience of the collective.
The Sovereignty Knot’s three archetypes- the princess, queen, and wise woman - are more essential that ever.
Time. It is what it is, right? Relentless and uncaring. Immutable and inevitable.
And yet… Is this all there is? Could there be an alternative? What if we didn’t need to buy into the relentless progression of time and those killer deadlines we live (and die) by?
Let’s reconsider our life-and-death relationship with time.
