The Sensitive Sage

Actual footage.

From Krista Parks at Modern Tribe

✨🌀✨

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life’s desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.

i see what i’ve done here
and it’s all so very interesting
another loop around this cosmos
this time, through a rainbow filter

i love this one the most

textures everywhere.... colors
lights
sounds

i feel so very different this time... everything does... an interdimensional clicking into place

communicating with planets and comets and stars

Saturn threw me a ring and said

“this trajectory worked for me! try it on for size!”

and now i rock this hoop.... but instead of pulling back... i am flying forward
with you
again

and triangles are cosmic pyramids
and circles are distant planets
my hoop is Saturn’s ring
reminding me that i am always surrounded

as are you
as are we
as is each of us

the fabric of our universe is much deeper than i remembered

“i was looking back to see if you were looking back at me to see me looking back at you” - massive attack

Fire and ice ✨

Mt. Ranier, Washington

I’m on it.

~ The Illumination of Your Path ~

You are being called to shine without shrinking. Spirit is guiding your steps and fortifying your heart asking you to move with confidence toward the opportunities now opening before you. Your ancestors walk beside you, clearing the way, affirming that the path you desire is blessed and aligned with joy, fulfillment and deeper connection. Your light has influence. It reaches farther than you realize. You are being reminded not to dim yourself for the comfort of others nor to allow energy-drainers, fear or inner sabotage to pull you out of alignment. What you are building now, whether in love, purpose, creativity or community is rooted in destiny, not fantasy. Trust whats unfolding. The magic is real. The support is real. The future you are walking toward is already responding to your faith.

🔢 The Number 16 🔢
The number 16 carries the energy of sacred transformation. It speaks of awakening through truth, of old structures dissolving so something more authentic can rise. For many of you, this is a season where illusions are falling away, self-doubt is being confronted and your soul is reclaiming its power. What once felt like disruption is now revealed as divine redirection.

💫 Channeled Collective Insights 💫
• Many are experiencing spiritual awakenings that are breaking old cycles and belief systems
• Sudden clarity around purpose, direction and soul assignments is increasing
• Energetic boundaries are becoming non-negotiable and protection of peace is key
• Ancestral support is especially strong during moments of uncertainty or transition
• This is a period of stepping into visibility, leadership and spiritual authority

Spirit Message 🌬️
“Shine boldly. What falls away was never meant to hold you. What rises now is divinely yours.”

Here for this reframe:

That good good.

Allow me to reintroduce myself… I AM

… a Devotee of Divine Love + Philosophy

I take a far different stance than many mainstream astrologers, and I would say that makes most humans love me more. The “out there” models of astrology are outdated and don’t serve our current age of information and sovereignty. I believe YOU are your stars in ecstatic motion. I don’t believe the stars dictate your life but you, YOU, and your life give the stars expression. Let’s learn together what the celestial bodies have to say about the moment you were born and what celestial energy and themes were in the mix when took your first breath.

When it comes to your reading, I will teach to your level of knowledge, being sure to leave the jargon OUT, and the deep and meaningful themes IN.

I am well-versed in teaching the language of western astrology (and have been teaching others western astrology for 20 years) and can explain the map of your own star chart and what that means for you. From communication to romance, from conflict to how we crave to be seen and heard, ALL questions are welcome. My guidance is available to you. My hope is that my guidance leads you to and affirms and validates your own intuition and deepest sense of knowing.

For those of you curious about the combination of energy work and astrology, inbox me and we can converse on how they flow together.

In general, I am able to fully connect to your celestial energies + guide you to see your situation from a more multidimensional and holistic perspective.

I am available for those wanting a deeper connection with their own stars and what they mean to you and for you this lifetime.

John O'Donohue
January 1, 1956 - January 4, 2008

By Pat O'Donohue
(John's brother, on behalf of the O'Donohue family)

On this 18th anniversary of John O'Donohue's death, we give thanks for the wonderful gift his life was and still is for us. We take solace in his beautifully crafted wisdom, 'May you know that absence is alive with hidden presence, that nothing is ever lost or forgotten.’

John spoke so beautifully about the notion of our lives being a life-long refining of the art of approach towards our own unique, individual mystery and to the Divine. He defined the kidnapped and abandoned word ‘reverence’ as the awakening of a sense of respect for the mystery. He would say, 'Reverence is respect before the Mystery.’

John sculpted a new language of exploration to seduce us back into the presence of the questions awakening within us; he loved to sit with a question and let it unfold within him. He believed many of humanity's problems stemmed from the fact that we find it so difficult to sit alone in a room filled with silence. This calls for the forming of new habits to stop the flow of useless, noisy chatter constantly filling our minds which distracts and exhausts our thinking. John loved to speak with passion and originality about, ‘The creation of a beautiful mind.’ He kept such a beautifully furnished mind himself and loved to seek out old, anonymous bookstores where he unearthed a treasure of reading. In his books, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace / Divine Beauty, we see the line, 'Beauty shuns the garish places.’ When we beautify our own gaze, we can behold the beauty in the ‘other’ and feel its kiss on our skin.

Now it is so wonderful to see how John’s steps on this earth have not faded but echo and resonate through the healing and minding words from the legacy he has left us. ‘Yet the world is not decided by action alone. It is decided more by consciousness and spirit; they are the secret sources of all action and behavior. The spirit of a time is an incredibly subtle, yet hugely powerful force. And it is comprised of the mentality and spirit of all individuals together. Therefore, the way you look at things is not simply a private matter. Your outlook actually and concretely affects what goes on.’ (Benedictus / To Bless the Space Between Us)

As we meditate on the layered wisdom and healing within John O'Donohue's words and vision, may we each consider how our own outlook can offer solace to others in our wounded world.

Le chuile beannacht agus buiochas,
(With every blessing and gratitude)

Pat O'Donohue
