There is so much to sit with in silence after star gazing with Leslie and Davyd and journeying with Julianne.
Ones I asked my guides where did Gayatri mantra came from and they told me to look at the Crab constellation. That is how the Beehive constellation came into my awareness for the first time. All the stories about
Praesaepe – Constellations of Words trigger something recognisable in me.
Ones we first established community garden in our city the idea was that there are no leaders but all share necessary tasked rotating from one task to another. For a while it functioned like that and then usual power struggle arose ending with the ones in roles of authority and the others submitted to this new “order”.
I still don’t know why it happens like this and when and how it will be possible for the human collective to function like described in Praesaepe.
This morning I was thinking again about this common thread that I feel between Sisi, Lady Di, Marilyn Monroe, Lady of The Lake, Artemis the Greek goddess and there is still something important hidden for me underneath the surface of the lake. It has something to do with the sense of freedom…
The journey to meet our animals brought me to the oak that is always close to us all here and to Populus tremula and the squirrel 🐿️ I was just watching her doing her thing jumping around digging the soil to hide nuts for later. In general what was coming to me was all about sharing - giving-receiving. In particular sharing food like many spiritual communities are having as their community practice. And how food is something that is bringing us together but lately also a theme of lots of discussion and separation.
I researched a bit about squirrels and found this great article 🐿️ Vjeverica u vjerovanjima: Nosi dobre vijesti, simbol je rada i dobrog planiranja - Kolumna | Agroklub.com They are actually planting forests! The trees are doing their thing producing fruits, nuts, which squirrels are picking and putting in the soil and the soil makes them sprout. Sometimes squirrels eat them and sometimes they just become trees.
Also, I remembered how this book left a strong impression The Vegetarian by Han Kang review – an extraordinary story of family fallout | Fiction | The Guardian The story goes deep in a woman’s psyche dealing with patriarchal order.
Interested to hear your thoughts about it and maybe help unlock what is hidden 🐿️
Thank you Julianne for another great journey and thank you Leslie and Davyd for wondrous star gazing stories.🌟✨💫🌱🐿️🐝🍯🐢
Deep sharing! Yes, of course squirrels grow forests! Never thought of that before, wow. I do feel like we are going to move into "no leaders' - not maybe as we might think. More like each of us being leaders....and then in that comes rotating the "leadership slip", a role to play in a situation, not as we think of it today. I feel our tribe is encouraged to do this, like yes, Davyd and Bella are the "leaders" yet want everyone to step into their own expression and sharing of their gifts and passions. I know for me, leadership is only given by those who are being "led". I just hold space and am a stand for all to be empowered, cared for, respected, heard, and get their heart's desired goals. Like when "leading" a yoga class or dance class. I know I wouldn't be there if no one showed up! I also think of live music, especially with the Grateful Dead. The musicians play with and for the audience, like the music expresses the collective in the room in the moment, quite magical. For me, a leader never seeks acknowledgement, holds great humility, yet if something "goes wrong", the buck stops here, I take full responsibility.
