Three beginnings occurred in my life yesterday.
I met with my amazing editor, Jill Kelly, to go over the draft of my book The Cabin That Flew Home.
I walked into my therapists office and left the nice, always competent looking guy at the door.
And as the ring around the moon ignited over the swaying forest I was ordained in a circle of women at my community People of the Heart .
All three events seem to weave together. The creative, the shadow and the initiate within me came together for a reunion yesterday. What humbling joy to have the whole of me witnessed by my friends.
I'll tell you more about the ordination this coming week. What I can say is that there is a circle of love praying for the world, up in the wild hills above Battle Ground, Washington.
When I knelt for receiving my vestments, when prayerful hands were laid upon me, an expansive peace came upon me... filled me. Those moments still flood my memory with hope.
Today I am grateful for the calling of community. I am grateful that community sings its richest song when the whole diversity of self and beliefs is invited along.
Peace to you my friends and family.

Congratulations Rick on your ordination! How powerful it must have been with such amazing moon and feminine energy surrounding you. I hold you as well, and wish you the best on this journey. Thank you for saying yes to the call, for having the courage to walk the path.
