Drink your tea slowly and reverently,
\nas if the axis
\non which the earth revolves —
\nslowly, evenly, without
\nrushing toward the future.
\nLive the actual moment.
\nOnly this moment is life.

Some Other Things I Love<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

* * * * *<\/span><\/p>\n

The way the season ripens and swells as I wat<\/strong><\/em>ch the leaves quiver and fall with the rain.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

* * * *
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The steady sound of rain falling upon the garden below and the way it’s\u00a0 growing louder and heavier, making the trees lose their leaves even more quickly. <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

* * *
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Watching the water fall from the sky.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Here is one of my favorite poems by W.S. Merwin<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“In the stillness after the rain ends<\/span>
\n nothing is to be heard but the drops falling<\/span>
\n one at a time from the tips of the leaves<\/span>
\n into the night and I lie in the dark<\/span>
\n listening to what I remember<\/span>
\n while the night flies on with us into itself”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryday Goddessing\u00a0 is about sharing magical techniques and sacred wisdom with other beautiful Goddess women. I believe that within every woman there is a goddess, a wise woman, beautiful, creative, powerful, with a deep soul, and that everything we need and are looking for is already inside\u00a0 each of us.\u201d ~ Rose Arizmendi<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
