About Being Good and God
It still has to catch up to me sometimes, the rage at how my internal imperative to be good gets thick and syrup and it’s the coating, the grease-the-gears movement yes tip your gloves into your lap and restraint. Restrain your tongue your Mary Poppins your poppet preacher’s wagging.
Write about being good, about the stink-eye I shove down into my socks, the one I coolly pocket when the tide is rising in your tone, when there’s an impulse to scream and I quell it with quills and ink. Where is the end of elliptical acquiescence? Even now, after all this time, after all this.
When I go looking for God, this is when I feel the vibration in the soles of my feet, this buzzing connection to my body: it’s in my body god is in my body. god is good orderly direction god is Self is God is self. All one, deep in the crevices I always move toward the dark, makes the bright brighter and I’m a fighter. My lips are still burning from the flames I birthed in my living room on Monday night. I find myself cooling in moist chocolate soil, worms for hairbows, respite for this cracked clay. The sun bleaches me lemon, tart and tangy, when I go looking for God. It’s in the woman brazen, hips squared, fist raised.
I find God in the Feminist.
Pagan Pencil Lines
- Oh Good Goddess yes, welcome welcome full moon in Scorpio! At 8:35 Pacific Standard Time we will experience your magnificence in the form of a Supermoon! Intense and powerful, you will be so close, so very close, and tonight I release the old stories, the old ingrained, the trenches. Scorpio moon, mystery moon, I celebrate your watery under-depths, the place where the electric fish send out their own light. Transform my old poisons into compost. My natal moon in Scorpio is already magnetizing the amped-up energies of tonight's lunar feast!
- Gorgeous Full Moon in Libra! What a time to stretch my heart's arms out wide, toward relating, in this time of Aries and the self! Libra's Venus-influenced voluptuousness, all this luxury of living, meeting each person's eye, weaving harmonious words, mending the webs. Today's a good time to reach out to someone in forgiveness and love. Oh Libra full moon I feel your balancing effects!
- Welcome, New Moon in Aries: Blast off rocketships of energy! Begin creative projects! Blaze through the suffocating atmosphere of your self-limitations and spring like a ram from grass patch to grass patch. Embody the Magician, bringing the sparks of life to everything you touch.
- Hello gorgeousness, Mercury slid into retrograde on Monday at 12:49 am (PST) and will hover there till April 4 at 3:11 am. What does this mean? Well, people sometimes freak out when Mercury pulls its little trickster move, but I like to remind myself that tricksters can be FUN, especially if I don't consider myself the butt of their practical jokes. None if it's personal! When Mercury, the planet of communication, is stalled out, appearing to move backward to our forward-focused eyes, making plans and commitments get wonky. Electronic devices go on strike (already my phone is on the fritz and I've had a helluva time navigating my own website). What's the gift here? Well for me it's a reminder to SLOW DOWN. Breathe. Reflect. Use Mercury's power to look backward and take in the perfection of all my beautiful mistakes. Expect interference and juggle the elements with my yellow eye-mask of inspiration. Don't sign any contracts. Expect to be surprised, for while the things I take for granted may seem scrambled and slipshod, old hidden things may be uncovered; lost items found. Mercury just wants to get our attention. And just look at that purty party costume!
