Poetry is medicine. I love this one by mystic and poet Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by activist and great inspiration of mine, Joanna Macy.
This video is a small snippet from one of my lectures of my course on pagan winter mythology with .life . Those of you who’ve worked with me for a while know that my lectures always contain some spontaneous poetic interludes. We just need more poetry 💖
I adore the line “Am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?”
For me, it gestures toward a more fluid sense of self, one that remembers itself as relational and shaped by forces larger than the individual.
Widening circles, reminding us of the cyclical nature of time, seasons, self. In contrast to the linear idea of constant self-optimization and growth.
The closing words feel like a reminder to move into a new cycle with devotion, intention, and openness, rather than holding on to certainty.

The Equinox is approaching. We are entering the threshold. Every year, around September 22-23. Let’s be in this together. Take a breath. Take some notes.
I felt inspired and put my Equinox reflections into my first ever Substack article — an impromptu piece, kissed by a Greek muse. You can find it via the link in bio, and let’s connect there. It’s pretty lo-fi, I’m only just starting to flirt with that platform and I am actually on a retreat in the ancient lands of Greece atm.
