August darling

unraveling, returning, lost, alone, whole, connected

Hello August, hello Monday evening, hello darling reader,

I’ve been away cocooning, dissolving, expanding.

I’ve unraveled, rewilded, returned, reawakened, and remembered.

I’ve cried an ocean’s worth of tears.

I’ve laughed deep belly laughs in circles of witches and reconnected with unbridled joy.

I’ve opened my heart to the endless list of contradictions that accompany deep, true, unhinged healing.

I’ve felt lost and alone and whole and connected.

I’ve been everything and nothing all at once.

I’ve wished it would end and then cried when it did.

And now, here I am.

Free-floating in a sea of contradictions.

Undefinable, uncontainable.

Ebbing and flowing and dipping back into this space with gratitude for the opportunity to return again and again.

Thank you.
I adore you.
How are YOU?!
Please do reply and tell me what’s alive for you right now.

More soon.

With love,
Raina

A short list of miracles:

• Sweet ripe peaches on the back deck after the kids are asleep.

• Deep breaths filled with the scent of high desert pine trees.

• Walking. Walking in the forest, walking by sea, walking and walking.

• The sound of your best friend’s voice.

• Rainbows that start small and fill the whole sky.

• The right words at the right time reminding you of what your soul knew all along.

• The moon always.

• You. Me. Here. Now. A fucking miracle.

A nearly full moon hanging in the New Mexico sky.

Wider, deeper, vaster than you realize. Just like you and I.

Ebbing and flowing in spiralic motion in and out, up and down. I AM UNCONTAINABLE. YOU ARE UNCONTAINABLE. WE ARE UNCONTAINABLE.

P.S. Listen to this song 👑
