Lost Rites: Lament of 13 Moons and the Lament of Conception

Good morning folks! I just want to share this again as it is the central focus of my personal Work at this time. I spent all day yesterday out on pilgrimage really meditating on the Rite of Passage of Conception and the interface between the formless and form, between the space before and therefore after, Life.

It was an exquisite day to be out on the hills. Today I have dragged myself back into the work-shaped-box and have found myself longing, deeply longing for the freedom of walking the mountains; yet here I am... hustling, when I said I couldn't hustle any more. But without hustle there is no electricity on the meter, no food, nothing. So... ugh, we are shackled to the system for survival. A system that is dying.

This is the Lament of Conception; for all that is gained in Life, the capacity to feel, love, dance, explore what it is to be human... the freedom and infinite potential of the form-less is like a day out wandering the mountains and shoehorning our magnificence into this frail body, destined to die and full of duty and responsibility, is like the hustle of survival.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE life. But the Grief, the celebration of what is lost at conception and what is gained - has never truly taken place within me. And it is now, because this is the first of the 13 Rites of Passage that this Lost Rites webinar series contains. So, if you do resonate with what I am saying, please sign up.
