The Turn of the Tides

(A Full Moon Prayer / Intention for January)

By: Kristin Peterson (1/6/23)

The young shall die old and the old come to pass

And living a version of histories past

The legends of old will appear before eyes

And the legends of honor will quickly surmise

The little, small people, events and the things,

The lessons weโ€™ve learned from our foibles and things

It’s never Enough โ€˜til Enough is today

And changing our patterns and lessons: Mainstay

Releasing possessions which ties one to Things

Instead of the beauty Connection will bring

What are your talents? What Light can you share?

If ever a time were to come to Re-pair

Itโ€™s NOW, canโ€™t you See? At the turn of the tides?

Where oceans rise tidal in heightened surprise

The end of an era, a change that will last

Freedom forever is falling quite fast

So run with your talents, inspire each other

Service for service, weโ€™ll trade with another

Trade not in money, but in energy spent,

Trade where to cook, I shall paint there instead

Treading through town with community purpose

Greeting your neighbor with love and of service

A life lived for others, a life of the Heart

Devoted to Mothers and Children and Art

A life where all Masculine turns fully healed

A time when the wounds of all Women unseal

A space held now sacred and loving, Divine

A place where all people are that of one kind

A place of the fire and the air and the water

A place of the earth and the men of their fathers

A place where the bairns of the brides of the March

Shall rise up in unison and take the torch

Fire not to burn, but to make clear the Way

The healing of humans: Generations at bay

So take the first step, or the sixth, or the hundredth,

Take all the failures and learn from those blundโ€™reths!

For when processing grief of such massive proportion

Itโ€™s likely unsettling: Disassociation, Conforming

How can we care when so much left to do?

Well donโ€™t worry โ€˜bout THEM, and just worry โ€˜bout YOU!

We each one of us feeling those Gaia vibrations

So if few of us try: It just might affect nations!

Have you heard of this thing that you might not predict?

The hundredth monkey effect in which seems legit:

A statistically insignificant number of monkeys

Learned a new lesson and then things got funky!

The monkeys across all the nation now shared

The knowledge of hundred then soon grew in flare

A few monkeys’ wisdom, well, then became wealth

Which reminds us Community Connects to Itself

If just a hundred ‘ole monkeys could Unite for a Shift

In Conscious endeavors, then why not Try it?

The figures and numbers and lies weโ€™ve been told…

Just see in your Sight what youโ€™d like to unfold

Forget all the fear: Just step out of the page

And write a new chapter or book or take stage

If enough people think with their Hearts first instead

We wouldnโ€™t get caught up in fear in our Head

Law of Attraction and Positive Thinking

Not just some theories, but Seasons now brinking

So slap on some skates and prepare for the wobble

For falling down fast is a nice way to throttle

Up back and down, and down back and up

The end point is just this: That You are quite Enough!

So live your best life… โ€œDoes it make you happy?โ€

And if the answer is no, then go take a Soul nappy!

Take some time off, take a Spiritual fast

But please start meditating and praying in mass

This change is on You and on Me and the World

Together, in Conscience, to unleash as we swirl

And people, their hearts, dance as one, primal drumming

Restore our Connection to Earth: She is Humming!

So Balance, We Seek, on this bright, fresh New Year

Hope is Ahead, so give it three cheers!

Hip Hip, Hooray! Hip, Hip, Hooray! Hip, Hip…

(PS: This picture is a little number I drew up of Cedar… here’s some cool information about the use of Cedar:)

And if one doesn’t judge using plants for healing, take away the judgement associated with the connotations of “magic” and “witchcraft” and just be like, “Hey, does it sound logical to use plants from the Earth to heal?” Keep it that basic, as in, what did they do before the modern pharmaceuticals came in? Ever since I saw “Where the Crawdads Sing,” I’ve been REALLY into the term “Naturalist” and I want to REMIND everyone that that term is a thing, a LIFESTYLE instead of a Religion. Kind of like how in Tao Te Ching, there was a feeling that there was something… MORE… a Way of Life… But it doesn’t have to be associated with religious anything, it is just a Lover and Philanthropist of Natural inclinations. Gosh, I now strive to further truly become a Naturalist… doesn’t that just FEEL right in your Soul? And also: Wouldn’t it be super predictable to have a Force of Negative Power not want its Subjects to be able to tap into theirs and thus associate Shame, Judgement, and Guilt with natural inclinations of how to Heal and become Whole and United? That, Indeed, would be a force to reckon with. Well, if you can Accept more than what we are told, JUST keeping an open mind, maybe just think about looking into the healing properties of Earth! Just an idea! Much love!
