In this Heart

I sat down to write this on the day that Sinéad O’Connor died.

Universal Mother was the soundtrack to my Mystical Awakening. Sinéad’s song Famine helped open the door to my ancestral healing. Hers is the song I sing to the Earth:

In my early 30’s, I lived in Toronto (when rent was affordable), in a basement apartment. I would lie on the floor with my face against the Earth and sing this song to Them.

If you want to get the Earth’s attention, sing to Them with heart feeling and you are connected forever. Thank you Sinéad. 💜

In the past, people seem to respond most negatively when I share the point of view that plants are just as valuable as animals and that eating carrots and peas and grains and beans is the same as eating meat. You may receive this just as negatively - but it’s true.

When we eat, we kill.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a radish or a lamb. It’s the same in the eyes of wholiness. Everything that exists is a part of the indivisible whole and there is no hierarchy of worth in the Universe.

Having said that, I try to eat as much non-meat as my carnivore-loving husband will tolerate. We do not currently have an animal-for-sustainence industry that meets any kindness or kin-ness targets. That will change.

In the meantime - let’s connect with our Beloved plant-kins and landkins.

The whole world is alive and in communication with us.

Let’s practice being aware and participating in communication with Them.

All of these plants were grown from seed and I am very proud and attached to every one of them.
