Coming Home - Part 1

The spiritual, emotional, psychological goals we seek – of love, peace, trust, wisdom and so on – need time and the space to ‘arrive’ in our lives. It is in the silence, the gaps, the waiting, the ‘not knowing’, the reverence for the ‘Other’, that we have a chance to connect ourselves to something more than our wandering minds and anxious hearts. ~ Philip Carr-Gomm

Much has passed since I last checked-in here. The Gregorian Calendar year has passed, the Celtic and Druid year has passed, and we’ve moved through the dark of winter near Imbolc, the first light of Spring. My beloved Katy Grace and I traveled to the United Kingdom - England, Scotland, and Ireland - for our belated honeymoon, we attended our first OBOD Gathering, and America has elected and inaugurated a new president. I’ve also been caught in a loop of what is perhaps the busiest work schedule I’ve ever lived through, and have been struggling to maintain sanity, let alone remain grounded in spiritual and musical practice.

I have so many tales and thoughts from these past few months that I scarcely know where to begin. But here I’ll offer a brief overview of the honeymoon, with some follow-on posts that delve more deeply into the openings, awakenings and synchronicities of these past few months.
