Lately I have been receiving a lot of reflections from folks about the way I choose to share myself in writing and in images online. People commend me for being so vulnerable, so sincere, and so intimate in my offerings. But I don't see it that way. Because it's easy for me to share my Heart and to share my story, through the medium of writing. Well, easy might not be the right word, but it's safe at least. You see, the written word is intentional, and almost like a spell. You can edit yourself and rework your thoughts until they're clear and concise and consumable. Speaking them aloud is something else entirely.
Sharing stories in an off the cuff kind of way has always felt nerve wracking for me. So when Erin of Active Culture Family asked to interview me for her podcast, I agreed wholeheartedly, but not without hesitation and a touch of self-consciousness. In our just-released podcast convo we explore some deep material. Our exchange touches on many aspects of my life and practice that feel so very personal, so very real. And through this experience as well as others of late, I am coming to find that there are some words which are meant only for the ear and not for the page.
In the podcast we explore grief and gender and loss and sexual ecstasy and how all of these sacred topics are inextricably interwoven with plant medicine. It's real good y'all...
