Since I have returned
I have made chili de Arbol
At least ten times
I listen to Andrea Gibson speak
Now
Remembering
How still I sat
Beside you
Open and vulnerable
On the Autumn Equinox
Feeling as though my
Heart would explode
Just from the beauty
Of her words
How we both left there
Mouth open in awe
Speechless
I've smudged my house
With our freshly gathered
Santa Rosa Sage
Hoping to surround
Myself with this
Sacred energy
My soul smiles often
At the memory
Of seeing the Milky Way
With my naked eye
I can feel the mountain winds
Dance through my hair
With the same intensity
As the Venice Beach breeze
Grabbed each auburn strand
Kissing them like a
Long lost lover
The desert sands
Anointed my skin
With a cosmic dust
Preparing me for all
The wonders that lie ahead
Butterscotch trees wafting
Through the forest
Guiding us
To our spirit animals
Reminding us to trust
Our intuition and gentle hearts
I came to you weary
My soul malnourished
In need of my Gemini Twin
You welcomed me
To your paradise
Into your home
And beautiful family
I will be forever
Grateful
Carrying these memories
In the treasure chest
Of my heart.
