in gratitude

The elements of earth fire water + air conditions our consciousness while we are living. “You are dying - and the four great elements of your body are collapsing.” Earth collapses into water, water into fire, fire into air. Air to pure consciousness.

2/24/2019 notes from ancestral journeying with jen:

old womxn, very worn face, but joyful. lots of wrinkles. young spirit. she wanted me to run, to be wild. barefoot in the forest with the trees. she was soaring sometimes, lots of laughing and running aimlessly with the trees. lighten up, she said. you’re doing good and we are always with you. come and run and play.

heat in the hands. at one point in her life her hands were bound and she could not run or play. but she could in her age - reminding me to be grateful for this ability.
