A circle of women
Shoes off in the grass
Grounding themselves
Harnessing the healing energy
Moving their Chi
Flick off the “ick”
Pull that good energy in
Move it from side to side
We all become connected
In a circle of luminous light
Holding our energy in
Healing the earth as it heals us
The trees enjoyed our company
As we paid homage to them during our walk
Touching them all, admiring their bark
The plants, all different textures
Every now and then, flowers
Blue, pink and red
And one rare white lilly in the forest
At the pond, we all laid down
On a shady boardwalk
At least a dozen women or so
We all relaxed as our leader
Guided us in a meditation
Watching the clouds move
And the trees swaying in the wind
Lilly pads sparkling in the sun
Turtles basking on a log
Afterwards, we walked past the meadow
Silently returning through a wetlands path
Gathering together around a circle of stumps
To share our observations
What we were taking away with ua
Create a gesture to match
We mirrored each others gestures
And in this process, a little of ourselves
Joined with the greater whole
Afterwards, still basking in the glow
She and I visit a Korean day spa
The first hour or so
We shared pools with naked ladies
Of all shapes and sizes
We heal what needs healing
Clean what needs cleaning
In one pool, my body is a vehicle
In another, a body of light
I scrub every part of my soul clean
Letting go of others energy stuck to me
Call back my own energy from all places
So I can be fully in my power
I am learning to be a body of light
Surrendering to the universe
Allowing the flow of white light
To run through my center
Move my hands to hearts center
To capture and hold this light
Self love, the route to soul healing
I contemplate the lessons this body has learned
I feel the last vestige of snake skin slide
New skin tingling and fresh
Absorbing hot, cold, back and forth
Awakening the life force
Recharging our mortal batteries
Shower, wash hair, put on clean clothes
Fill out bellies with Korean delights
Then roam around the place
With quiet reflection in various spaces
Legs up in a wooden recliner
Watching drone footage of forest trails
Birds chirping, following the sound of water
To a babbling brook
We lounge in heat over various floors
Ocher, jade, Himalayan salt
Find our place on mats, benches, floors
An outside terrace, tables in the shade
A boba tea to cool us down
Women all around us
Some alone, some with friends
Some leading men, smiling over their shoulders
Four older crones sharing snow ice
I reflect on the maidens and mothers too
We all know the secret is
Take care of yourself, darling
It’s the only you that we have
What are the reflections we see
In all these other women we encounter today
Open hearts and good will
A willingness to lead and be led
Esoteric and scientific knowledge
We are all here to care for ourselves
And in turn, we care for each other
By being beams of light in the world
And my beam is connected to your beam
Like the line of lights in the Cistern railings
Or the circle of light that I saw
In the guided Moon Magic meditation
At Christine’s house the following night
Like the circle of light of women in the grass
This circle holds us together
Inside the circle, we have
Connection, community, healing
Universal love, recharging our souls
So we can do the work of
Being a light for others lives
Into this cosmic web we live in
Sharing the collective light of the Divine Feminine
