Thank You for Your Light!
This essay was originally dispatched to my Inner Circle on July 29th.
My last general Dispatch (Is Barbault’s Basket in the Room Now?) and the fun while getting down to brass tacks roundtable at Light House Bozeman barely scratched the surface of what an important time in which all of us, regardless of gender, are called to be each be genetrix mundi in our own right.
Genetrix is a word that came to mind after participating in as a Community Event activation and attending the spirit-in-a-body inspiring OneGreenThing Inaugural Forum (which I highly encourage all of you to get on the list for and attend next year).
Genetrix is an archaic or classical term of Latin origin (plural: genetrices) that means "mother," "female progenitor," or "creatress". Rooted in the Latin verb gignere (to beget or give birth), it signifies the ultimate source, originator, or feminine life-giver.
To be in a room surrounded by people who can look the reality of what we’ve done and what we, as a species, continue to do to this planet we call home and understand where that’s going BUT STILL take it upon themselves to FIGHT AND DREAM AND CONCEIVE OF A FUTURE for our children and their children and all the children in the lines beyond that we carry in our bodies now — tears are coming to my eyes as the memory of being in that room with all of these souls resonating with each other and the frequency of our mother, Earth — that’s the power of the divine light that each of us is charged with carrying within us in this incarnation and must shine and nurture and use to provision what and who we care for known and unknown to call out the divine light from others.
With that said, it’s Leo Season — and it is this shining of the light, this being the source of provision, this surrender to the divinity within ourselves that is the cause for celebration as the Sun traverses the sign of the Divine Child.
Unfortunately, if only it were as idyllic as the child atop the white horse in the Rider Waite tarot imagery of the Sun card and that it’s as easy at it seems from the outside for those who live and breathe their sovreignty. Photons take from 10,000 to 170,000 years to emerge from the core of the Sun and then traverse the 93 million miles to Earth in 8 minutes and 20 seconds. Such is the process to provision with ease. I mean, you can’t be a hero unless you willingly choose to throw yourself into the pit of hell and keep going until you come out on the other side. Or, as my mother and aunties would say: you can’t have someone else do the job halfway through birthing a baby. (Trust me — it sounds better in Tagalog.) Or so we’ve been taught by a society and culture in which the masculine has been over glorified for millennia and has become so out of balance that collapse feels like the only viable solution.
If that hustle sounds like utter crap or something about that makes you bristle or it just makes me feel tired, then maybe it’s time to kill your ego — which is the part of you that pulls you back onto the struggle bus EVERY SINGLE TIME — because it thinks it knows how you’re meant to shine your light instead of freeing it to flow. As accomplished and magical as all of you in this “virtual room” are, I ask you to please take to heart these words from the Epic of Gilgamesh in which the alewife, Siduri, says to Gilgamesh, who is grieving the loss of his best friend and has set out to retrieve the flower of immortality:
Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? What you seek you shall never find. For when gods made man, they kept immortality to themselves.
Fill your belly, day and night make merry. Let days be full of joy. Love the child who holds your hand. Let your wife delight in your embrace. For these alone are the concerns of man.
The eclipse season we get treated to during this August (hello — that first Leo eclipse is the day after my birthday) really sets the chessboard for the Great Reset.
To make it through this period — akin to the one initiated between December 2, 2019 and March 21, 2020 meant to rebalance the feminine, each and every one of us in some way will need to reconcile the conflict between Your One Precious Life vs. the Continuity of the Species; Your Genius vs. Commonweal; and Belief vs. Inevitability.
YOU GOT THIS!
