So much I could write at this New Moon in Sagittarius yet it feels a bit much to share. My mother is slowly slipping away and this Christmas season I am flooded by our Holiday past. Mom loved being with family, holiday decorating and entertaining. She crafted like Martha Stewart, opened up our home, invited the town to tour, wine, dine and dance.
Anne Lamont in her book Grace Eventually writes-“old mothers never die, and they never fade away. They are too complicated for either.”
I created a collage today, the girl reminds me of a 60’s Breck Shampoo Ad– all that I wasn’t in my mother’s eyes; my New Moon SoulCollage® feels very important. So here is my evolving SoulCollage and the journaling that unfolded…
We teach each other
how to fly by our shared journeys,
by our truth-telling.
Healing stories born
out of the dark places
from anger, fear and sadness
In the fallings and failings
I find courage
To take a risk,
to wake up,
to trust
and once again
Open up to loving arms…
that were always with me.
But I forgot
how to connect…
Magically my angel wings unfurl
and flutter
Our Brilliance is revealed.
And when the Boat shows up
it finds we already
flew Home.

Dear Michelle,
My hear flies out to you in your hour of preparation and grief…
My Mum is also getting closer to that passage moment – she is 87, past her Uranus return, em route to her third Saturn return and, curiously, in an opposition of Neptune to natal Neptune and at the start of Pluto opposed natal Pluto – this is very rare, as these planets have irregular elipses and do not usually get to the opposition during a normal life span…
My heart poures out to you and I wish you courage and serenity. May Life help you and your Mum and please, never regret not being who you are not – you are wonderful!

beautiful collage and writings Michele – good reminder for me now – going thru some heart felt changes, separation, feelings of loneliness, rejection, abandonment. Also starting to see things in an new light, clearer, people for who they really are… waking up to trust myself and my Higher Power once again, with courage, compassion, respect, faith, trust, strength, mindfulness, appreciation…Luv Roz
Oh Michelle that is so beautiful. Thank you so much for your sharing, showing, telling, loving.

Beautifully said. Very thought provoking words and graphic. Namaste
Thank you for stopping by, offering up prayers and understanding. So much happening on many planes, more collaging and insights. Hawk and the Owls keep showing up in the tall pine trees.
Love,
Michele aka
Star Hawk who walks in Tall Pines.
Michelle –
Many blessings to you at this doubly sacred time – your mom in her liminality and the world awaiting the solstice and the Sun/Son. I enjoy your blog and all you give us – I will add you and your mama to my prayer list. Big blessings,
Diane
Michele, thank you for sharing such personal entries about your life. My thoughts and prayers are added to the multitude being sent to you at this emotional time. You always give food for thought and help me get out of my self absorbed ruts.
