You Can Never Step Into the Same River Twice...
And other Pet Peevey Platitudes.

Or, um... Peevey Pet Platitudes.

Coming to you live on Wild Soul Medicine Radio this week.

Greetings, Sister,

I was a little punchy this week, after three connecting flights, 14 hours of travel, with my teenage children. A midnight arrival, to an arctic tundra and a house topsy turvy with demolition/reconstruction.

One COULD lose her mind in such circumstances (which, truly, is always a saving Grace), and also… she could allow the humor of it all to tickle her into submission.

Crying, complaining, laughing - really all sides of the same coin.
#AllOfLife

Surviving a week with two sullen (did I mention??) TEENAGERS on an island in a little beach house with none of our usual hidey holes to escape to, necessitated me resorting to pulling out All The Stops.

Sacred trickster, Exasperated just-wanna-vacation pleader, Wise elder, Angry dictator, Bat shit crazy-she done lost her mind raving lunatic, Sisterly confidante, and SO many more.

Some of these showing themselves on command, with me sitting brilliantly in my center; with others grabbing the wheel and jamming her foot on the accelerator as we careened toward the edge of the cliff.  

Parenting is a Whole Thing.

These infinite reflections of fractures, projections, wounds, and pain points erecting Fun House mirrors at every turn.

It requires an immense amount of Surrender.

And Willingness.

And Love.

And Forgiveness.

So much Medicine in being in relationship with other humans in this way.

And of course where there is Medicine, there are Gifts.

Information about who We Are. 

Who I Am.

And how we might go about doing... This.

Together.

Join me this week as we bring our Wild Souls to the banks of this Now River.

Some highlights to listen for:

(07:30) Disarming the Against

(11:10) No Resting in Sameness

(17:00) Losing my Shit

(22:05) Nothing makes the present more painful than this

(28:00) Pet Peeves

(38:00) Sanctioned Places to Offload Perturbance


POTENT DOSE (if you only have a few minutes):


Our pet peeves are windows into our particularities, and our particularities are our opening to the infinite. It is our portal into the one. 

Whether you are a mother or not, there is much here for All of Us.

I’m standing here in the river.

With you.

Taking a Look.
