Think of chaos as dancing raspberries. 

Darn right, Mary.

Don’t you feel like she is telling us to alchemize? (It feels to me like she & the other great Seers are telling us something urgent. Uttering a call to action to anyone who resonates with their message. 
Mary Oliver, the beloved Poet-Prophet-Mystic, not only saw, but rather LIVED Truth. She not only deeply studied, from the time she was a child, Nature, but because she assimilated it.  

To assimilate (or be assimilated) means to fully take in, absorb, or incorporate something—such as new information, a culture, or food—so that it becomes a natural part of a larger whole

I recently read some prose of hers where she described watching a turtle lay eggs. It was a sacred witnessing, given the high detail she gave of the event. Keep in mind that she created words for us to read, from her observation. But what I am most struck by is her description of how she took, with reverence, several of those eggs home. Made for herself a meal, and ate it. At first, I have to admit, I was entirely grossed out. I am finally seeing the error (& the source of the error) in that first judgement. 

And I’m finally starting to see what both she & Rilke understood when he wrote: “You must change your life.” “Must” is a big word that I pay attention to. It’s a directive. An urgent one. Great Poets don’t use words frivolously, for no vital reason. 

A dear, hurting-hearted soul asked me after class last week: what exactly do you do, for your private work, I mean? I appreciate the question & it’s sat with me all week. I didn’t give a sufficient answer, but often I must close my mouth & write words down, to come to a truthier-truth. 

So here’s a better answer to you, dear one:

I wanna save my own life. 

& come back Home to my Self. 

& offer what I find has worked or is working, to my human family. I feel like that’s what Mary does. & she is a great teacher of mine. 

Mary knew that the culture/civilization that she grew up in did not work for her. In fact, actively tried to work against her. So she turned her head away from the unnatural to the Natural. From the false to the True. Knew that Nature is just another word for God/Source/Truth. And she assimilated it. She ate it. She breathed it. She imaged it (think: raspberries). She wore it. She spoke it. She wrote it. She was living True Yoga (uniting with The Divine). She was living Truth. To change, aka: save her own life from the unnatural forces that surrounded her. 

Last week I sat with that word liminality. A threshold. A crossroads. A choice point between an old way of being to a new. This week I am seeing this as my own personal choice point. 

I now eat in the ways of solar nutrition, according to the wisdom of the sun (chronobiology). I forage for some of the foods my organs are crying out for (ex: I will pick and eat dandelion leaves and eat them between 2 & 4 pm, at their highest time of nutritional value, which is also optimal assimilation/digestion time for my kidneys). 

I am also dressing differently; wearing colors that are vibrationally in line with the natural spectrum (Nature: light) & tuned to planetary bodies. All to help dislodge myself from the unnatural rhythm of the “Septo” or Mon-Fri, 7 day a week rhythm that has been established in my environment. Yogananda has something to add to this by saying that it helps release karma. So heck, I’m giving new practices a whirl to help save my Self, & so that I have more tools to share with others. 

I also use my own breath & natural spectrum (ROY G BIV…remember that guy?) to help me dislodge old stuck memories/traumas that keep in me in old loops of anxiety, irritation, anger, sadness, fear, lack of ease/peace. 

I’ll spare you from the rest of the long list of the many new practices I’ve been incorporating and will just say this:

If humanity is really sitting at a major choice point between Nature & culture (or Universal Law vs man’s law), I know my choice. 

I’m a lucky duck to have such incredible teachers like y’all. Like Mary. 
Like Yoga. Like silence. Like Nature. 

Hope a little mauve drop of any of this is useful. 

Wuv.
