the dark moon intentions

At witch camp I was given a new idea for integrating cyclical intention work into my life, a new framework for clearly formulating desires and voicing them to that chaotic sea of contingency in which we swim.

The recipe: make intentions on the dark moon, charge them any way that pleases and then release. For the next two weeks think about them casually or not at all. When the full moon comes, celebrate! for everything you desire has already been delivered. (All credit goes to Wildflower, beautiful matron of magic that she is.)

What do I want in the next month?

~ to reduce my necessary belongings to one pack
~ to find a backpack that matches my minimalist multi-functional ergonomic
~ to connect with the flow of the Living River
~ to gracefully close my affairs here in Boston

And on Paul's suggestion, I will also muse upon some six month intentions:

~ to flow along the edge of uncertainty and improvisation
~ to always preserve the highest emotional integrity in my relationships, along with a loving open heart
~ to share my practice with others, beginning first as a yoga teacher
~ to begin learning spanish
~ to engage myself actively in local struggles against empire, ignorance, and overconsumption
~ to immerse myself in a community of spiritual kindred
~ to have a wildly good time with my life

May it always come to pass for the highest good of everyone involved. Word.
