Becoming Earth's Desire

I have been thinking lately about what brings me alive and also what Earth is longing for from me and through me. I have been feeling into the Eros that is my life energy and the way that the Earth also has an Eros. That when the desire of Earth and my own soul meet, the result is Soul Artistry. And that this experience of art making/being is one of the most intense ways I experience my aliveness. This kind of consciousness is an Earth-centric consciousness, one that can feel into the desire of Earth and into my own desire. I can listen through the human creature-ness of me, through all my emotions, my heart becomes an organ of perception, receptive to the desire of Earth. The way I participate in the web of Life, Earth community most beautifully is to follow the holy desire of my longing and my gift into the artistry of my soul. This is what is behind my work as an Earth-centric storyteller, a ritualist, a guide and mentor of Soul Initiation on the personal and the collective levels.

So, when I invite you, dear readers, to a storytelling or a program, I am inviting you into the intimacy of my relationship with my soul and with Earth in order to enter a cauldron of your own transformation. This is how we affect one another through Soul Artistry- when one person takes their place in their node of desire, then others are able to access their own soul’s song, hear the call of Earth more easefully and more uniquely. Which is to say, when I do my job well, you hear Mystery and your own soul, you don’t hear me. That is the training of an actor, a singer, a ritualist, a storyteller - when I do my very best and bring all of my skills in and the divine spark, the Duende alights, then, you do not notice the person in front of you, because you enter into communion with something far deeper, more ancient and more holy than what I can offer. My job, ultimately, is to open a portal for you to enter. This happens when I follow my own desire to the place of Earth’s desire, which might appear to the world as a song, a story, a ritual, an invitation.

In the perfection of Mystery’s design and Earth’s inter-beingness, I can only fulfill my true purpose when I open the portal and disappear, my personal story for the moment annihilated by Love and by the Life-Death-Life cycle that is this incredible web we are all woven into.

Will you come and join me? Will you follow your own longing to the place where you might hear your soul’s call? Where you might hear Earth’s desire for you through your emotions, your heart, your body and understand the language of soul?
