Raccoons when I was a Gurl

In my twenties, the 1980’s, I was given four raccoons to raise.  I lived in the town woods of North Reading, Massachusetts where later I would home birth my two sons.  I lived there for years with a generator, no wired in electricity and heated by wood. The first raccoon was when I was approached on the shores of lake Geneva as a toddler.

Sasquatch Story

His name he tells me is Ben.  He has been nearby since my birth.  He is my solar guide. “Indomitable spirit, radiant being, white rainbow wind” are the whispers he sends me.

Here are some photos I took in the summer of 2016. After I asked for a sign, I came out to see a weathered soccer ball. It had been missing somewhere in the woods for some years. The ball was square in the center of my field. This occurred minutes after I asked whether I was truly communicating with Ben, the Quvintilear Sasquatch.

Love is always here

It’s always there

the love, in the air

for the taking

sometimes i don’t feel well enough to help myself to it

might not be able to feel it

because other things are in the way

old things, outdated things

fear.

breath

let go

like a piano string reverberating through the air

love moves through me and into me like a bowl filled to overflow.

even when i dont’ really feel it.

It’s still there.

and another thing –

I don’t have to be Mary to be full up on Grace.

Grace is also mine to take and have and hold. perpetually.
