Keep the Web Vibrating

The past few days have been about reconnecting with terrific people.  Mylong-time singer/teacher friend Rosemary Kimberley and I reconnected after many years over her dad’s death.  I played the music for his memorial service (came out of musical semi-retirement).  Caught up with interfaith minister and life coach Barbara McDowell, whom I first met at a circle practicum with Christina Baldwin and Ann Linnea a year and a half ago.  Chatted on the ‘phone with Ferol Humphrey (in Dallas) and Nancy Antenucci (Minneapolis), both terrific, wise tarot people and dear hearts.

So many people touch our lives, and we theirs.  In the spirit of circle, it’s helpful to keep the web of connection vibrating so that we and they remember we’re/they’re not alone.  Are you thinking of someone?  Send them an email.  Call them on the ‘phone.  Mail them a card.  Poke them on Facebook.  Let the smooth, round stone of affection and memory cause the pond of interconnectedness to ripple.

A tarot card that draws my attention lately — in shuffling the deck, in dreaming about it, and in seeing it in shamanic journeys — is the 10 of Blades from the Daughters of the Moon Tarot.  A group is seated inside a teepee, holding council, listening carefully as one woman holds the talking piece and a rattle.  It’s her turn, and she knows that because she has the talking piece and that she’s in safe, sacred space, it’s OK to tell the story of what’s on her mind and in her heart.  In your web of connection, whom do you trust the most with the heartstory that’s foremost in your life right now?  Let them know.  Whose heartstory do you need to hear right now?  Listen deeply.  Keep the web vibrating!  Blessed be.
