Lyncantations: November 2013
http://lynncantations.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 25, 2013. I envision them as points of light, like sparks – around which energies, understandings and knowings – gather. For me it is a process of opening myself – growing quiet and seeing what shows up. It’s about listening, watching – waiting - and feeling the vibrations as connected things engage one other. It’s about how knowings come to me. One point of light around which there has been much activity has been the Western direction on the medicine wheel. Everything.everything....

Lyncantations: June 2013
http://lynncantations.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 23, 2013. When human-made objects are hurled into space - crews of engineers do intentional work - in advance - to be sure that the objects can withstand the fire, and the friction of re-entry. But somehow, we humans, or at least this. One, hurls hirself into situations without anything like adequate consideration of / preparations for "and then what.". I recently spent 5 days at the Philadelphia Trans Health Conference. Gender certainly weaves through everything at Philly - its a Transgende...

Lyncantations: January 2014
http://lynncantations.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 20, 2014. What Does It Take? Today is day 3 of the 30 Days of Love campaign. This is a space of opportunity, by Standing on the Side of Love,. I examine each of these today - these two seemingly polar opposite views. As I hold the tension of knowing that each is real - the question emerges - "what is the essential difference between the two? For me the difference is a matter of what we do with our armour. We find ourselves at a place of great separation from our sacred siblings, and.

Lyncantations: Contemplating Freedom
http://lynncantations.blogspot.com/2015/07/contemplating-freedom.html
Saturday, July 4, 2015. The first stirrings of this piece began as I considered a response to a Facebook post, which queried how or if Native Americans celebrate July 4. Highest per-capita commitment of any ethnic population to defend the United States with their military service. So yes, we do celebrate Independence and Freedom, on July 4. And many other days. Personally, I hold in tension the reality of genocide and oppression that is woven into the founding of this nation, and the reality that Ind...

Lyncantations: July 2013
http://lynncantations.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Feeling the Pain. Rocking the Baby. The heart that has been broken wide open by life, has enormous capacity for love. That seems to make no sense - but trust me - it totally does! Probably the only time I will sign a post this way:. Wednesday, July 3, 2013. Reflecting. Becoming. Emerging. Was being spoken to instead of me. Surely. surely, the Holy Love in the Center of All That is. wouldn't be calling a 50 something, Two Spirit, flawed like crazy, drummer/photographer/...I was so ...

Lyncantations: November 2011
http://lynncantations.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 24, 2011. I am thankful - for my partner, and family and friends. I am thankful for the beautiful abundance of creation. I am thankful that my ancestors clung fiercely to their culture and their ways and that the inherent tenacity and integrity of Indigenous People is why we persist today. I am thankful that not EVERYBODY builds a celebration this day, upon the bones of the dead. Igwein Gitchimanido! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Roots Grow the Tree. Animals Talking in All Caps.

Lyncantations: October 2011
http://lynncantations.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 13, 2011. I feel like I've come a bit untethered today, like I slithered out of my skin and am free-floating. Kaiden's father. and his beloved Ashley. Or my daughters. I spent a fair amount of time lounging on the couch with Ashley, with my hand on her belly, talking to Kaiden and pouring out my love with and without words. Every time I felt him move, it felt like I was holding him. One evening while Josh and Erica were off doing something. I watched from the living room as. It is hard ...

Lyncantations: Cairns: Balance, Harmony & Holiness
http://lynncantations.blogspot.com/2014/08/cairns-balance-harmony-holiness.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Cairns: Balance, Harmony and Holiness. Recently I was at an event at an independent senior living community. A group of local churches, and other organizations, lend support in a variety of ways to this vibrant community. The event included a worship service; my friend Carrie shared a message, which included a reflection on cairn building. Listening to that message inspired me to build a healing cairn. During this message, Carrie stepped into the. Much like Carrie said, Spirit...

Lyncantations: November 2012
http://lynncantations.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 23, 2012. Happy Birthday to me. seriously! Today was good. and I swear I have this weird thing going on with rhyme - and free associations all OVER the place. For example, when I wrote "today was good." what followed in my head was "today was fun. tomorrow is another one, every day from here to there, funny things are everywhere! From One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss). Thought I should have self reported about my health. Well ya know what? The strain on it Sparky? My Son...
