The natural world is overflowing with an abundant beauty and grace, a raw power and intelligence that is alive and unmistakable. When we gaze at the far white fire of the stars, muse upon the deep waters of the ocean, or breathe in the pure scent of rain and moss, we are engaging in more than just a moment of grace, we are connecting with the vast intelligence of nature, the “force that through the green fuse drives the flower”, as Dylan Thomas wrote. This intelligent force of life manifests itself in numerous forms, permeating, shapeshifting and defying ultimate definition. We call this intelligence by any number of names: goddess, god, spirit, divinity. But we cannot deny its existence, or more importantly, our reliance and interdependent relationship with its ongoing flow.

Dirt loving, flower sniffing, rolling in the mud, licking off the mango juice, savoring the red wine/dark chocolate/truffle/umami flavor...A Taurus revelry commences tomorrow with the Taurus New Moon on April 30 th, welcoming in the springtime with full earthy pleasure power. You might want to kneel and kiss the ground to welcome in the time of flowers blooming and bees buzzing, or maybe you’ll want to do your own kind of earth dance, calling up the fire in the earth and letting the star fire showers fall gently down under a night sky.
