(The universe, she brings magic. \u00a0She gifts art. \u00a0She helps the goodness find me, again and again. \u00a0 She has brought the soulful deep divers to me. \u00a0Gives me\u00a0opportunity to\u00a0learn\u00a0and to guide<\/a> and to teach<\/a>. \u00a0 Even when I am at my lowest – especially when I am at my lowest – \u00a0I am reminded, again and again. \u00a0I have been blessed beyond measure. \u00a0What I am sharing below- \u00a0in progress images included – is a direct transcription of texts from yesterday. \u00a0So much magic I cannot even fathom. \u00a0Saving Grace. Holy Wonder. \u00a0Blessed Be}.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"IMG_5638\"<\/a><\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Is there any reason you need to see her?\u00a0 She is emerging and wants you to know.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

She is beautiful and stirs something in me.\u00a0 Tell me what you know of her.<\/p>\n

She wears feathers in her hair and is covered in bone.\u00a0 She belongs by the sea and speaks to the whales.\u00a0 She has three mermaid tails but can survive on land.<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Chills.\u00a0 All over me.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also yours, goddammit.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you know why?\u00a0 I cannot stop looking.<\/p>\n

Only that she wants to be with you and the painting isn\u2019t even done yet.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have been feeling helpless in anger and ache and sad this weekend.\u00a0 She feels strong.\u00a0 A wise and quiet kind of strong.\"photo<\/a><\/p>\n

Ah yes.\u00a0 She\u2019s a rock made of water.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

I keep reading the words \u2018covered in bone\u2019<\/i>.\u00a0\u00a0 Like they are significant.<\/p>\n

Her armor.<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

I think I seldom feel as if I have any.<\/p>\n

Maybe you can borrow hers.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jesus.\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 I needed her today.\u00a0 I don\u2019t even know why.<\/p>\n

Just doing what the universe tells me to do.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

I can already feel her bringing me words.\u00a0 I want to know everything you sense of her.\u00a0 Everything she whispers.\u00a0 Rock made of \u00a0water.\u00a0 Fuck.<\/p>\n

Our lady of deep dives. Part warrior.\u00a0 Part mermaid.\u00a0 Shaman.\u00a0 Feminine.\u00a0 Wearer of bone; utterly soft beneath.\u00a0 Receiver of gusts of the divine, divine.\u00a0 Blowsly, deep winds shake her as she surfaces and she calls to her pod. \u00a0‘Come, let us go deeper. There is much to learn.\u00a0 Much to love.\u00a0 Much to know’.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

And it is true. \u00a0Our Lady Of Deep Dives<\/em> has brought me words. \u00a0And she has brought me wisdom. \u00a0And peace and solace and some deep steady strength that was greatly needed. \u00a0Her bone armor, my own. \u00a0But those words? \u00a0I’m not going to share them here now. \u00a0Because Our Lady<\/em>, she wants to speak to you by herself.<\/p>\n

If this is your day, as it was mine, to feel sad and mired in ache and anger. \u00a0If you feel without armor and bare to the world. \u00a0If you are feeling raw and undone.\u00a0 If you need to heed your call to the wise and wild sea. \u00a0If there are things you are knowing you need without even knowing you need them. \u00a0 Let her speak to you and move through you and deliver you to where you need to be. \u00a0She will, if you let her.<\/p>\n

All that I will say is that I am humbled and grateful for the way this world reminds me of what I need to know. \u00a0For the souls who have crossed my path and who have joined me on this journey. \u00a0For the art and music and poetry and magic that winds and twists its way to me. \u00a0For the ache that cracks me wide open to it all.<\/p>\n

~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

{the chill inducing Our Lady Of Deep Dives painting and the words in bold belong to the inimitable Kristen Kalp<\/a>. \u00a0She of balloons and glitter and viking hats and TED talks<\/a> and record breaking games of twister and a camp for grownups<\/a> that will be a level of epic that goes beyond all previously experienced levels of epic. \u00a0She’s a doer AND a dreamer. \u00a0Pragmatic and magical. \u00a0I am so honored and blessed to call her friend, beyond lucky to work with her, and over the moon to be asked to teach at camp this spring. \u00a0Blessed Be, indeed}
