I stood willingly and gladly in the characters of everything - other people, trees, clouds. And this is what I learned, that the world's otherness is antidote to confusion - that standing within this otherness - the beauty and the mystery of the world, out in the fields or deep inside books - can re-dignify the worst-stung heart. - Mary Oliver
Hello lovelies and welcome to this full moons journaling practise.
*As you may be aware I have had to cancel this evenings online gathering due to one of my sons being ill. But I will rearrange for next week, with a different theme. I have made a recording for you to go with these prompts so you wont miss out on that bit and hopefully you can all enjoy it still.
This full moon is known as the flower moon, the budding moon to celebrate the spring's new blooms. Some even called it the "Planting Moon" because it marked the time when seeds should be planted for the farming season ahead. The Anglo-Saxon name is Milk Moon, while the Celtic and Old English names are Mothers' Moon, Bright Moon, Hare Moon, and Grass Moon.
Journaling - exploring Rose
For this journaling practise, we are going to explore in a little way, the theme of Rose.
I have made a recording for you which is a little meditation on Rose. Take your time to listen to and then afterwards just write whatever comes your way, whatever moves through you or whatever touched you from the meditation. Do it in the way of free writing, just let yourself write without trying to be clever, or poetic or wise. Just flow with whatever is arising without your inner critic stopping you. And if you cant think what to write, write that and see where it leads.
