Every day...

Every day, I want to sing Your names.
Every day, I want to burn offerings.
Every day, I want to study the lessons You have sent to me.
Every day...every day...every day...

I play my favorite instrument.
I do the work of daily life that must be done.
I tell stories to others.
I write stories.
I create art.

I'm exhausted.
I'm lost.
I'm in pain.

I keep going.

And when I start to cry because I'm not giving to You, immersing myself in devotion to You, living in service to You... that's when something whispers to me, "Maybe you are."

Am I? Is it that simple? Is it that I want to be filling my existence with ritual and study, but am supposed to be doing these other things?

I hope so. I also hope the ritual and study comes back soon. I love You, Mother, and will do what You want of me.

Khaire Hekate Einalia!

Glorious Hekate Einalia, Empress of the Dark Seas! It is World Ocean Day. I thank You for Your presence in my life as the Lake Monster, and more recently as Mother Hydra. I thank You for the alligator who followed the boat. I thank You for the lakes, rivers, and beaches. I thank You for humpback whales. I thank You for the turtles. I thank You for baths, showers, swimming pools, and glasses of water to drink. I thank You for rainy days and thriving plants. I thank You for the aquatic entry to other realms. I thank You for Your presence in everything that exists in our physical world, as well as the many ways water exists in other worlds. Khaire Hekate Einalia! Praise Lake Monster! Iä Mother Hydra!
