Dear Y'all

With this new blog site, I begin a new phase of communication. From now on, all Dear Y'all postings will emanate from here. My goal is to update you with more frequent -- and shorter! -- entries, which will be archived. So----

Many people now are reporting physical goings-on that they have not experienced before or not to this extent. These seem to mostly involve the eyes, feet and hips. Beyond seeking practical solutions for aches and pains --- and the first two are often associated with the liver --- remember that Our Mother Earth said in AWAKENING WITH MOTHER EARTH that as she is changing we must too. In this instance, you could read it as, we must see with new eyes and walk a more conscious path on the Earth with the feet and hips that propel us forward. In other words, consider the metaphorical implications of what you are feeling, the habit patterns of thought and action, as well as the physical ones. Maybe you will take a cloth bag to carry your groceries, maybe dance more, maybe join a neighborhood cleanup, maybe change your diet as you lose interest in some foods. We are not body AND mind AND spirit but bodymindspirit so things happen with all aspects of the self at once.

As you pay closer attention to what your body is telling you, you may find that other messages come floating in. Please, please pay attention. The predictions for this period (September through November) are many and widespread. In my own area, north Georgia/western North Carolina, for example, many people are picking up that we will have an earthquake in the near future and that they should prepare for it. Predictions do not apply to everyone everywhere. What you get may apply only to you. The cosmic joke is that often you can only trust that you got it right because something did NOT happen. My personal experience, when I do see the reason for a "do this" or "don't do that," is that I have been kept out of a difficult or dangerous situation.

I have begun work on a new book, a combination of what I hear from Gaia and other sources (White Bear and The Tribe have recently checked in) and the off-the wall-ness of THE DRAGON LADY'S HANDBOOK. Sounds strange, I know, but ours is a culture that hears serious news better if there's some humor in it. Earth changes lite, if you will.

Meanwhile, I am also working on a series of ceremonial staffs for an art show on October 26th. I like them very much and will post them on my website when they are finished. My guide for these, The Siberian, is emphatic that I must not work on them if I am not spiritually centered. I must also curb a tendency to enthusiastic excess. He says we are in a time of re-use, re-imagine, create more with less and generally be spare with resources. I find it challenging and interesting.

Gaia reminds me constantly that all water is one and all water is to be honored. In these times of drought, floods, water wars and ocean acidification, it is a good thing to remember.

With deep gratitude and many blessings,

Fran
