The world is indeed unnerving these days. It's been smoky again in Seattle, so I had my house closed up with a fan and air purifier on in 85 degree heat yesterday. The smoke messes with my nervous system. It's a fight or flight trigger... It was so hot and stuffy in here that I finally gave up and threw open the windows before bed. Combined with the news that somehow works it's way around and between the filters I place on it, I found myself tossing and turning much of the night and got up this morning feeling like I'd been mud-wrestling all night. I guess I need a book like that that takes me out of reality.

ugh. Sounds like mud-wrestling with fire spirits. No fun. I hope it clears soon. I have severe anxiety around coming back in a week. So many signs screaming DON"T! But I must. ....

I get it. I was exchanging messages with one of my Irish cousins who lives in France. We decided we should meet in Ireland next time during the summer. It’s hot in France too.

I had a rough sleep too Cammy, that interconnection probably breaks through more when our thinking is out of the way hey.. and there is so much discomfort.. Thank you Adam my wallet is poor but my heart is rich with all of the books I keep adding to cart on your suggestion, and they never fail to grow my mind further..Love to you both in these days 🌟🌟🌟🌟

We have the same problem with books... We should definitely not share our favorites with each other or the pile will only grow to the point it tips over.

I’d wager the story of your life, Camille, reflections of your divine and compassionate soul, is exactly such a book. I’d read it and no doubt would be strengthened and softened by the tales of this life you have lived.

Oh my goodness! That’s so sweet. I’ve toyed with that idea. It seems daunting. For now, writing my biweekly Substack is enough, but you never know…

Today is actually not bad here smoke-wise thank gods but it will be back. Agree it’s so activating. I’ve been stuck in a lowkey freeze response for weeks.

sorry to hear it. Does it make you aggravated that everyone talks of Maui now, instead of the other fires as well? Or is it different when you are in it?

I will say I find it aggravating that wild fire season is just becoming normal at this point

fair enough. You may need to move to Dartmoor then?

Ugh... I'm so sorry. It's a limbic thing. I wish I knew the answer.

I’m traveling through the west of Ireland this week. I hear no news save for checking my substack once or twice. The moon has shone each night coming more and more full. Beautifully so. If we are drops on the plasma field and this reality is a fractal projection, surely we can transmute these times, if we believe we can?

I believe we can.

I sat with rose hips, yarrow, and blackberries along a coastal road yesterday and sought their advice. We discussed the elements, the ancestors, this glorious and beautiful earth home. We discussed humans and the hive mind. We discussed curse, fear, and pain.

I sat with rose hips, yarrow, and blackberries and understood that the great slowing is what soothes frayed edges and calms thinning nerves. Presence above all things. Love beyond measure. Human life offers many things - pain, pleasure, disgust, disappointment, wonder, beauty, and plasma.

Compassion for those that suffer, always.

This moment in our human tribe sometimes feels like the manifestation of a collective fear dream. Surely we can transmute this. I believe we can. I will commune with the spirit of the planets, and encourage all to do the same, to understand, to witness, and to dream a collective presence of grounded wisdom. I am happening ‘with’ life, we all are.

The plants reminded me that they were here long before we were, and the same may be true once we depart. They offered a tactile continuum. The outer planets have offered me this same continuum. Perhaps it is there, seeing the continuum of existence, where I feel a settling. Perhaps others may also.

beautiful magic on the west coast of Ireland...county Clare? The Cliffs? It seems those earth beings are leaping from leaves and into your mind at a steady pace. Good good.

Funny, I just bought this book too. Haven’t started reading it yet but it has gone way up my priorities list since reading this. It does feel like there have to be some very interesting insights for astrologers to be found here!

oh definitely! Robert is a legend. I hope to get him on the show soon to talk about this and a few other subjects I'd love to pick his brain about. Read it for sure!
