When the human world feels heavy, take yourself to the homely arms of oak, into

the whispers of the ocean and find the

call of bird.

Let new languages, new sounds,

new meanings fill your bones.

Let the beauty of this more than human

world settle your frightened heart.

Let your wider community show you, strengthen you, let them tell you stories

of the wildness that is seeded from the darkness.

Find the white of blackthorn blossom

amidst the bare spaces, the gold of

celandine and the song of the bee.

Let rose and hawthorn hold your heart,

and nettle strengthen your resolve.

Let dandelion’s medicine speak to you

of courage, weaving tales of tenacity

and rewilding into your gut.

Find the verdant seedlings grown from death, the young Elder birthed from a breaking.

Watch how the little alchemists, the insects, the fungi and the worms eat the shit and

turn it into gold.

You are more than stagnant human

in concrete and chaos.

You Are Wild, Wise And Ensouled.

~Brigit Anna McNeil

a new simplicity calls from the depths…

inquiry for today~ can you see your own guiding light?

these beautiful ways of being…

Gratitude will be the doorstop that keeps the door to your heart open.

Peace and humility will be its gatekeeper.

Cherish your heart, for it is from that place that you live.
