The return "Home"
After 16 years in Vancouver, I returned back to my place of birth.
September to December was a tricky and uncomfortable time. Adjusting to a “new” place: new land, new rhythm, new climate, new routine, new people. The funny piece is that this place isn’t new at all. It is where I was born. It is where I grew up. It is where I came from. And now here I am, back “here.”
There is comfort in this and sometimes too much comfort. The light sometimes starts to be taken over by the darkness and cold. There are parts that start to feel “frozen” in time, forgetting that she is an adult woman now.
How can I honour my bright light and share my souls medicine within this community as the woman I am today?
Can I be the sunshine when daylight is forgotten?
Can I be the warmth when the frigidity takes over?
Can I be the freedom that comes with fewer layers?
Can I be the ritual that is always needed?
Can I be the playfulness when things feel hard?
I am being called to create a new story in this familiar place. To spread love and magic in this part of Canada. To be the sunset or sunrise when the darkness feels too much.
