This is just beautiful! I listened to this while indulging in a New Year's Eve bath. The New Moon is still in Capricorn, ready to infuse the new year with a mandate to honor and respect the caring and careful labor of the wise grandmother. I finished reading Naomi Klein's Doppelganger last night (highly recommended, especially for those interested in why and how to build solidarity around the climate crisis), and something she wrote in the Acknowledgements at the end stuck with me: "Care labor is truly the foundation of the next world." May we all engage in the care labor necessary to sustain one another and to regenerate our world in 2025!

Thank you, John!

I will search out the Doppelganger, and add it to my reading list.

Sending you blessings for a year of joy and laughter!

Thank you Saffron, I loved this tale. I spoke aloud with your words because I, too, believe and I am dedicated to this earth and being one of these people. I am thankful to honor this holy day, I spilled my own seed onto the white earth in my offering and devotion.

Thank you, Saffron, for imagining and communicating this vivid, poetic, shining spark of wit and wisdom to help us all welcome the rebirth of the light. As I read this on the morning after the Solstice point it helped me feel the Eternal Mystery which we all hold in our hearts.

May all be well, be strong, be careful, be kind. Peace.
