Living with purpose—living with joy and passion
She is an oracle of truth—of psychospiritual reactions
Her totems are windows into her being’s manifestations
The giraffe connotes perspective—the butterfly signifies transformation
The metaphysical power of snake medicine lies in her gifted hands
We shed old skins but sustain our essential power as lethal venom is tamed at her command
Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you
It is a synergy of the principle of interdependence with the practice of generous virtue
She teaches us to find our true yes—to not ride the fence
We must find roads where joy, passion, and purpose overflow in self-evidence
Empathy is a thing of magic—it is vicarious introspection
We seek guidance from the roots of trees praying for ecological resurrection
Pruning is a necessary part of creating new growth
We must rebel against the compulsion to remain prisoner to commitments of old
We see our lovers for precisely who they are
Mortals with divine potential to find their path dancing with stars
We are reincarnated ancestors—we are agents of karma
Our fractalized iterations manifest perilous hope for an earthly nirvana
