The Rooted Raven

and while we’re here, we should sing

Leadership isn't having the most followers; it's being the person in the room who is most present.

When it comes, the Landscape listens – Shadows – hold their breath – When it goes, ‘tis like the Distance On the look of Death –

it's kind of like we live in medieval times cause everything is mid and evil

What if our original resonance is love?

But not love like emotion, affection, romance or sweetness. Love as Source. Love as the original sound from which all things emerged…

Love as structural reality, as the binding, birthing, breathing fabric of being itself.

Some call it selfish to live in deep fidelity to one’s own soul. But that judgment is only ever spoken from the lips of those who have not walked through fire. They have not been gutted by the cost of truth. They have not wept at the altar of their own undoing, or lost everything in the name of what is real.

They have not yet learned that true alignment is often crucifying before it becomes liberating.

“And lay your solitude beside my own.”

you don’t have to riot to make change. you can be an instrument of God’s sanity by being one clear, undistorted note in a world of distortion

He doesn’t like you, he likes your naivety and willingness to put up with shit most women his age probably won’t

[baby-brunette]

"you're mature for your age" "you're so special" "you're so different from other girls" pls run in the other direction!

I worship creation 🌸

[rootedraven]

sometimes angelic things aren’t churches, wings or halos, but are good cups of coffee in the morning or the way snow falls on evergreen trees or the quiet rapture of doing something that makes your heart sing

One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves or have been told is that there are places in us that Love will not or cannot go.

Someday I hope you feel the freedom of letting Love meet every inch of you — the broken, the messy, the difficult, the inconvenient or the taboo.
