presenting the creative fruits of our collective exploration
death takes time
“We come closest to the spirit world when we are dying. When we feel our life may no longer go on, we are being offered an opportunity...
In the state of vulnerability that we are in when facing death, we can find hidden wisdom. But one who only sees the positive side of things and sees oneself as the one who always solves the problem loses the opportunity of receiving help from death—to wake up.
To dare, once and for all, to see and reveal the truth of nature in the way a very sensitive artist does.”

Reflections on Pluto in Aquarius
by AJ Irodel
Thank you, Pluto
by Emma June ~ November 18, 2024
Thank you, Pluto
Thank you for your deep wisdom
for showing me my resilience
my core self
my raw honest truth that has always always been with me inside of me
Thank you for revealing the ugliness of the false self // the masks
no
not the masks
the reasons why the masks were needed, that is the ugliness
my masks are intelligent
and proof that I love myself
that I do want to survive + live
that I do want to love + connect
to feel safe, to feel wanted
to be desired, to belong
Thank you for the utter agony that made it impossible to ignore
impossible to carry on living how I thought I was supposed to
who I thought I was, who I needed to be to be liked, to be “right” and “good”
Thank you for showing me that’s all bullshit. There is no right and good.
My messy human fully alive self exists outside of that false, externally imposed binary.
