I love love in its many forms. ⠀ ⠀ Some years it’s been a challenge for me not to get caught up in the feeling of not having the kind of love I wanted rather than focus on the love that was there. Partnership hasn’t been the easiest road for me but I am blessed to the moon and back with friends and family. We all live in a different constellation of love and pain. ⠀ ⠀ Ultimately over the years the thanks I make on this day has become simple and close in. I tell people I love them, and perhaps find ways to celebrate. I give thanks for the elements that love me so much my life is made of them. And I take a moment to recommit to being kind and loving towards myself. ⠀ ⠀ Learning to see the profound gift of our ultimate mother ~the earth’s Iove ~ is something I believe we all know how to do somewhere deep down in our bones. ⠀ ⠀ I love this Quote of Robin Wall Kimmerer reminding us to love the place that is endlessly loving us and create a beautiful reciprocal relationship. I believe that human kind would change in profound ways if this was a relationship we dedicated ourselves to. ⠀ ⠀ May you know you are loved today, simply by being here... made of the earth ... you are loved. https://jessiephoenix.com/poetic-musings/the-most-worthy-endeavour monthly 0.5 2023-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217ecad23e39b467621f517/8c624903-3101-44de-8485-ba80636af3d6/The+Most+Worthy+Endeavour+of+All+-+Jessie+Phoenix.png poetic musings - the most worthy endeavour of all What will we base our identity on when what we identified with (and love ourselves for) starts to fade, falter or vanish? ⠀ ⠀ It is a calling to know and to love ourselves for something more profound. deeper. True. ⠀ ⠀ To see ourselves as valuable and beyond that - as sacred - Just for being. ⠀ And in that being - recognizing wholeness. Like looking into the mirror, as we did a thousand times before, but this time, raising our hand to the reflection and seeing that the reflection is not our Self. ⠀ ⠀ Wholeness is not a reflection; Two dimensional in its perfection and idealism. Wholeness is the touch of our hand on our own body. Across our newly wrinkled faces, over our slowly repairing hearts, and aching back. ⠀ ⠀ This kind of deep recognition is beyond our accomplishments, it is beyond finding our place amongst the named achievements and careers. ⠀ ⠀ It is, perhaps, a seat in the arena of the deep feminine, in the mystery of namelessness - like when before a tree was called a tree - it just was - a force of awe, and strength and wonder. ⠀ ⠀ To believe that we are valuable and sacred just for being....⠀ Can we do that? ⠀ It is harder than we know,⠀ Until we are in it. ⠀ ⠀ To dedicate ourselves to this kind of knowing is a quiet fierce courage, ⠀ Perhaps the most worthy endeavour of all. https://jessiephoenix.com/poetic-musings/loving-witness monthly 0.5 2023-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217ecad23e39b467621f517/9ac681b9-7ddc-43c1-8738-21ff12b71f09/Loving+Witness+-+Jessie+Phoenix.png poetic musings - loving witness When I woke up today my heart felt heavy. For my own challenges and for the world. ⠀ ⠀ It seems that beyond the c*vid challenges many of us are facing other life upheavals and shakedowns. You are not alone. We are here together. ⠀ ⠀ Some days I find it important to put some honey balm sweetness on the hurts and keep going. ⠀ And some days it’s the right thing to slow my pace, spend time with my hand on my heart and not run from the feels. ⠀ ⠀ To offer loving witness to that which hurts in us is one of the most powerful practices I know. https://jessiephoenix.com/poetic-musings/the-most-loving-thing monthly 0.5 2023-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217ecad23e39b467621f517/ff9624a0-44aa-4e1a-97bd-810fa81af925/The+Most+Loving+Thing+-+Jessie+Phoenix.png poetic musings - the most loving thing What’s the most loving thing? ... is a question and a practice that I am learning to insert into so many arenas of life. My counselling sessions, my business choices, food choices, daily choices. You could even say I’ve made a ritual of asking myself this question. ⠀ ⠀ We are 10 months into a global pandemic that we know not yet the way out or the full outcomes. We are doing our best with running businesses, raising children, keeping food on the table, sustaining relationships, and our physical and mental health. It’s all so much to hold. ⠀ ⠀ When we are in challenge (or trauma- past or present) things like making simple choices can become overwhelming; Our usual compass’ hard to reach and easy to forget. ⠀ ⠀ So I love this simple touchstone... what is the most loving thing? Your body will know the answer. Your heart will know the answer. ⠀ ⠀ And more importantly, the deepest medicine may come simply from having asked the question. ⠀ ⠀ Much love to you all... https://jessiephoenix.com/poetic-musings/start-close-in monthly 0.5 2023-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217ecad23e39b467621f517/a94e3b4c-bb49-4808-8174-c2c7959c6fc7/Start+Close+In+-+Jessie+Phoenix.png poetic musings - start close in Start close in,⠀ don’t take the second step⠀ or the third,⠀ start with the first⠀ thing⠀ close in,⠀ the step⠀ you don’t want to take.⠀ ⠀ Start with⠀ the ground⠀ you know,⠀ the pale ground⠀ beneath your feet,⠀ your own⠀ way of starting⠀ the conversation.⠀ ⠀ - part of the poem Start Close In By David Whyte. ⠀ ⠀ I am giving time to the little shimmering light in me, giving it darkness, space and rest.

Never before have we humans lived in a time such as this. Never have we had access to so much knowledge and also so little wisdom. Not that the wisdom isn’t there it’s just that there is so little time to sit with it...To live with it unfolding in our hands and hearts the way it must. It’s easy to get overwhelmed (I do often, though less than I used to). It’s easy to be disheartened.⠀ I watched the film David Attenborough: A life on our planet (it’s a must watch) and was both heart broken and wildly hopeful. To hold onto wild hope, for me is a practice that takes some work but feels so important. As we stand on this precipice we are on the brink of potentials we can’t even fully comprehend. Human’s are capable of so much destruction but equally if not greater (I believe) amounts of creativity, compassion and visionary magic. For me life is a dance of holding the grief and yearnings right along side passion and joy. Holding the tension of these things is something I find in friendship, ritual, ceremony, dance.... Where do you find the strength to hold it all? https://jessiephoenix.com/poetic-musings/ancestral-healing monthly 0.5 2023-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217ecad23e39b467621f517/3a1c5f27-b529-4a62-ba51-4747393c9115/Ancestral+Healing+-+Jessie+Phoenix.png poetic musings - ancestral healing In my work as counsellor and facilitator a lot of people ask about ancestral healing. It is my belief that the work we are doing now is not separate from what our ancestors also needed. ⠀ ⠀ There are intentional ways to work with our ancestral lineages though when we come down to the core of the healing experience, time is less linear than we think. What we carry in our DNA is here now and when we tend to the hurt places of the present we are offering that same healing to those who came before us. ⠀ ⠀ Our ancestors may have not had the time, place and people (and cultural expectations) that felt safe to unfold the tender places in themselves. Many of our grandparents experienced living through world wars and genocides (some people still are!) - an experience many of us cannot imagine. But we can sit with what is here now- honouring what ever shape and form pain is present. ⠀ ⠀ Today when we take time to honour those that have sacrificed so much for our freedom as well as acknowledge the atrocity that is war, think of your grandparents and their parents. And love yourself as they would have loved you... we are all holding each other through this life. ⠀ ⠀ Let us also acknowledge that the work we do now is our offering to future generations. May we strive to end war and suffering that still exists, in near and far places. ⠀ ⠀ In remembrance and love, ⠀ Jessie ⠀ https://jessiephoenix.com/poetic-musings/remember monthly 0.5 2023-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217ecad23e39b467621f517/7e605ef7-6519-4d42-91e7-0d08562d410e/Remember+-+Jessie+Phoenix.png poetic musings - remember To remember how small⠀ we are can be a gift. ⠀ We are not in charge of this. ⠀ Surrender the axe and the gavel. ⠀ Surrender right and wrong. ⠀ Walk among the ones who know much better.⠀ Listen with your hearts ears⠀ And forget all that you thought was so important ⠀ To remember what actually is. ⠀ ⠀ May your week be full of unexpected graces. https://jessiephoenix.com/poetic-musings/still-here monthly 0.5 2023-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217ecad23e39b467621f517/af5deef6-f746-490b-b71b-c4ddf4ed39a6/Still+Here+-+Jessie+Phoenix.png poetic musings - still here The sun and moon Are still here. ⠀ You are still here. ⠀ I am still here ⠀ Love is still here. ⠀ Pain is still here. ⠀ Racism is still here. ⠀ Beauty is still here. ⠀ Death is still here.

Seeing the light recede earlier into shadows and the temperature drop daily brings a measure of unease to my inner world. ⠀ The longer nights closing in on evening activities. The surprising bite of cold... despite all the warning signs. ⠀ There’s a wresting match that happens in me almost every year between denial of the season and surrender to it. ⠀ They say this is the season of grief and indeed we are called to remember that which has passed. This is a place in us we might rather avoid, even though curling up softly with it is just the thing it needs to take the edge off. So I make it a practice to remind myself that I am not same as I was that season when the dark wrapped me up too tightly. I have more sturdy firewood in my inner hearth fire and warmth becomes a practice of putting on the kettle, baking muffins to share, and remembering to bring a match to that little-light-of-mine everyday. https://jessiephoenix.com/poetic-musings/invisible-companion monthly 0.5 2023-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217ecad23e39b467621f517/1445945c-5f53-47ed-8316-aa1ea5c0668a/Invisible+Companion+-+Jessie+Phoenix.png poetic musings - invisible companion In this time of year, with the dark quickly approaching I need to be consistent and fierce with reminders that keep me buoyant. ⠀ ⠀ One of those life lines for me is grace: that invisible companion who shows up with open arms, no matter what we are facing. ⠀ ⠀ Grace is that soft yet firm knowing that (when we surrender to it) we are in this together; unique in circumstance and ONE in this human experience.

It humbles me and reminds me how small I am and that it’s not all up to me. ⠀ Giving thanks reminds us that we are not alone... that we are support by both seen and unseen forces. ⠀ ⠀ ... and thank goodness for that! ⠀ ⠀ May you be warm and cozy as Autumn settles into her time to shine. ⠀ https://jessiephoenix.com/poetic-musings/ritual monthly 0.5 2023-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6217ecad23e39b467621f517/df4263d8-15bc-4e1a-9e09-c42726be2d81/Ritual+-+Jessie+Phoenix.png poetic musings - ritual Despite the deep desire to slow down, many of us are busier than ever. Some days feel like a moment to oneself is an illusive treasure to be found somewhere on a map we don’t have. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I get pulled in so many directions in one day. I’m often changing hats more times than I can count. I’m guessing many of you can relate.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ And yet, when we pause and find it, the gold of the present moment has been patiently waiting for us all along. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Whether it be a two minute simple offering or an intentional ceremony over hours, I find again and again, that participating in ritual brings me deeper into life... and into myself. It brings me to that place where all the tricky details of life fall away and I remember who I am. I find gratitude and faith here. I find home here. I find grace here.⠀ https://jessiephoenix.com/poetic-musings/category/Prose monthly 0.5 https://jessiephoenix.com/poetic-musings/category/Poetry monthly 0.5
