      <image:title>Golden Threads - Holiday Series: It is All Holy - Holiday Series #1</image:title>
      <image:caption>This 3rd holiday season without him is underway, and it is different than last year and different from the first. His death is a demarkation of linear time experiences. There are things I did differently last year and the year before, and things that are happening in news ways this season. (Some of the different is because I honor my own capacity and desires.) This year, there is a more palpable sense of joy even as it holds hands with my sorrow. I still talk to him everyday —sometimes I am talking to myself like I always have, but more often, it is to him. We have some really great exchanges, discussion, disagreements, and loving words between us. And, it is not the same as having an earthside companion.  If you are missing your person, parter, parent, child, friend: Keep talking to them. Keep connecting. Be in the stillness, in dreamtime, in nature, in the liminal and in-between. You will find them there. It is not the same. Sometimes it is pure magic. Sometimes it opens us to the longing. And, connection is the way through.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>After Staying Unfinished was published, I shared it in the circles where it was invited and with people and places that called to me. I shared it where I felt comfort and support. Like a newborn or a mama with her newborn, these were precious circles to be in, and I wanted what I was sharing to be held preciously. It was. I have taken some quiet months since September, to gather myself and to begin to understand the purposes of publishing and making public this intimate experience. I do not know all of this book’s purposes or my own, and I am finding some small clarities about how both the book and I will continue to serve. If you are missing your person, parter, parent, child, friend: Find comfort. Be with those who love you no matter what. Take time for yourself, and be on your own timeline. Do what you have capacity to do, and know that there is an amazing amount of clarity that comes from NOT doing. Trust that you will know the steps to take and the timing for taking them. And, when you are ready to share your beautiful heart-knowing-clarities, share them with those who can hold them precious.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>There is more room in the drawers, closet, and garage. And, I will continue to make more room in the next layer of clearing. Some of your things are still right where you left them. I touch them, flip through the last book you were reading that still sits on your nightstand. There are also new things in new places. Things that were once on your side of the sink, in the garage and shop, and on your side of the bedroom have been rearranged or used or handed off to someone who needs it. I installed a pivot mirror on the wall next to your sink. I use it to put on my makeup and see the fine lines of my aging face, the lines that have appeared since you departed this world, and the growing old you will not do with me. I miss you, and I feel you almost always. Most of the time now, I feel your constant presence. I still wish you were here in human form, and I am staying and unfinished with this life. Thank you for doing it with me. If you are missing your person, parter, parent, child, friend: Touch their things and remember them. When you are ready, intentionally repurpose items or give them to someone who can appreciate the artifact. Rearrange your home in small ways often; it is your personal altar. It is a manifestation and visible expression of what lives preciously and invisibly inside of you. Talk to your person, partner, parent, child, friend who are no longer earthside. Listen, see if you can hear them talking to you too. *Photo: The tie E wore to his last trial that I have made into a headband.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We have all changed so much in the last 2 years and 9 months, and our children are reshaping themselves and their lives. Certainly, they hear your love in their own ways as you encourage them to take a risk on themselves. We even have a new member, Sweet Baby Girl, Baby G—as you call her. We are grandparents together and separately in this world and in your realm. Isn’t she the sweetest most amazing being ever? So beautiful to witness our girl being a mother, and she is such a good one. Thank you for caring for her until she was ready to be in our hands. If you are missing your person, parter, parent, child, friend: Invite them into the new adventures with you. Invite them into the the changes and transformations you are experiencing and creating. If this is outside of your comfort or not part of your belief system, try it anyway, experiment, see what happens. It is a low-risk activity. And, it is why we are here after all, to experiment, experience, and see what happens.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sometimes I am asked to read from my book, Staying Unfinished, and when I do, I realize the words are not entirely my own. They flowed through me in a blessing from the place where wisdom reigns. Cracked open with the sudden loss and swimming in grief, I channeled these words from other realms and wrapped them in the context of my circumstances. When I read them, they are a guide for me, a map, a promise, a prayer. I find new layers in particular chapters, new reflections in a single sentence. And, I know I am still unfinished. Words and images become lanterns casting light upon on shadows, and I expand again.  If you are missing your person, parter, parent, child, friend: Write, draw, paint, dance, sing, play, make, express. Allow the Ancestors to drop in and play with you in the liminal space that is creativity. It is how we draw down the most beautiful golden light, bringing bits of heaven to earth. Creating is how we connect the two realms, and how we come to know true love and beauty. Creating is our ritual action inviting in the Divine.  Cook, plant, repair, paint, build, draw, write, dance, sing, play…without perfection and from the center of your being.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>My path to the future was wiped clean in so many ways when Edmond died. The plans we had froze in place, and I was sitting in the dark waters. I still had children and dogs and spaces to tend, but the dreams we were dreaming together came to a stop. That void was terrifying. I was not sure I wanted any of it without him. And, whatever pieces and parts that still stirred a desire in my belly would unfold very differently. As the void of the tangle ball slowly thawed, I found ways to step into some of the desire for life. My desire to serve and create joy were a guide, a thread from the center of the tangle ball, leading me to new clients, projects, and plans. Friendships deepened, inspiring beautiful adventures. I still miss Edmond, and I invite him along for all of it. If you are missing your person, parter, parent, child, friend: Be still and quiet in the place of all possibility that is the void. Feel who you are and who you are becoming. Notice what you desire and feel called toward. Go slow. Go only when you are ready. Experiment, try new things, notice if you like it or you do not. Talk to yourself about it. Be still again. Clarity arrives a little at a time. Readiness will too. Be on your own timeline. Invite your person into the experience.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Some years between 2015 and 2020, I participated in a group reading and practicing of the brilliant material of Peter Levine’s A Year to Live. The group was led by the Great Molly Steel, a mentor and friend of mine. I was remembering this work and how it has changed how I live, what I am willing to spend time on and what I am not.  The other day I was listening to someone recount the Egyptian mythology of the Feather of Ma’at. Upon death, a heart heavier than the feather is devoured by the monster Ammit, and a heart as light as the feather ascends to paradise.  I want to live a good life, and I want to have an unburdened death. What can I do today to lighten my heart, relieve it of pain, guilt, anger, regret, hunger, and thirst? Lightheartedness is a way of life, a choice. If you are missing your person, parter, parent, child, friend: Invite them in and do the things you have always wanted to do. Forgive yourself and others, let go of what has been offending. Apologize, own your shit. Speak from your heart to those you love, even if it is stranger you just met. If you notice their beauty, see their soul, say so—acknowledge it. Lighten your heart; it is contagious.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Making the world small again has been one of the ways through intense grief and emotional overwhelm. Stepping into the micro-systems that are part of the larger world I occupy creates more capacity. Letting a small, very tiny, newborn praying mantis crawl over my hands, arms, and sit on my head during a graduation ceremony that occurred only a month and a half after Edmond died was a way to remain present and not succumb to the overwhelm of the larger emotionally potent gathering. Letting the activity of smaller creatures invite me into their priorities—a spider who does not want to be stepped on, an ant carrying a crumb 1,000 times his weight, a toad cooling his back feet in a planter’s water tray—gives me perspective. Making big places smaller in these ways helps me find what matters most for me in a moment so I can show up, participate, and find comfort in deep presence.  So, as the holiday bustle continues, gatherings hum all around, and I feel a little too rushed to be at a place at a time, I make my world smaller. I notice the periphery, the hoppers, crawlers, and flyers who go about their regular routines despite the seasonal expectations of cultural etiquette. I stretch time, breathe a little deeper and longer, and I still show up with a gift in hand at the place nearly on time, and no one complains.  If you are missing your person, parter, parent, child, friend: Make your world smaller. Be curious about the overlooked creatures, insects, plants, mosses, and dew drops. Pay attention to the youngest child or oldest being in the room. Step into their world with a smile and a breath. Focus for a moment on whatever being captures your interest. Breathe with that tiny world. Feel that world in your body, and be fully present. Then, with consideration for the smaller micro-ecosystems, return to the larger moment if you must.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Golden Threads - Meta Mind/Waiting Out the Storm - Wild Geese</image:title>
      <image:caption>You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting– over and over announcing your place in the family of things.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>of Mary Oliver’s poem, Storage, she speaks to the relief that the burning of things can bring:  I felt like the little donkey when his burden is finally lifted. Things! Burn them, burn them! Make a beautiful fire! More room in your heart for love, for the trees! For the birds who own nothing– the reason they can fly.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Golden Threads - Embracing Presence - John O’Donohue,</image:title>
      <image:caption>in Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom, tells us that “[t]ouch and the world of touch bring us out of the anonymity of distance into the intimacy of belonging. Humans use their hands to touch—to explore, to trace, and to feel the world outside of them. Hands are beautiful. Kant said that the hand is the visible expression of the mind. With your hands, you reach out to touch the world. In human touch, hands find the hands, face, or body of the Other. Touch brings presence home... The energy, warmth, and invitation of touch come ultimately from the divine. The Holy Spirit is the wild and passionate side of God, the tactile spirit whose touch is around you, bringing you close to yourself and to others.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Golden Threads - The Dead are Not Dead - “We think that the ancestors are behind us,</image:title>
      <image:caption>but they are actually those who go before us. They are a vanguard, a spirit wave that pulls us along. When the Hopi enter the kiva, they go into the body of the past to ensure the future. We too must seek initiation and search the darkness of the past for the light that is hidden by time. For thousands of years, initiation has served to establish the individual firmly in the continuum of all existence. To see ourselves as part of the continuous body of interconnecting, interdepending, and interpenetrating members—past, present, and future—is one of the functions of Buddhist meditation practice. And until we give birth to our ancestors, Earth cannot be redeemed from its suffering. To exclude any species from the continuum of existence—either consciously or unconsciously—is to deny part of ourselves.” p. 190</image:caption>

      <image:title>Golden Threads - Bread Crumbs - The Grief Walk</image:title>
      <image:caption>What I have learned from grief is to Allow the waves of grief to wash over me  to work on me After the waves crash The receding water makes evident what is left of this life  And what is gone In the beginning  The crash of the cold heavy water hurts  Crushing and terrifying  The beach seems bare,  all taken back by the great sea that birthed it In grief  Something always feels unfinished Like this poem, it is imperfect, raw The pattern is that there is no pattern Only inconsistencies Taking me over and pulling me under In the beginning I try to remember how Over time I find the rhythm  That is part of who I am becoming The willingness to release it In fragmented pieces In its rudimentary form Mannerless, unrefined, clunky, and desperate It makes its way into my bones The sorrows of realizing  We don’t always know the last time Is happening The last time I carry a child Before they’re too heavy and grown The last time we hold hands and cook together The last kiss That was more than the first I know one day I will long for the bittersweet wave to wash me clean I’ll long for the connection to what is no longer here in physical form I will even long for the rawness of the first moment  You were no longer here Like the first kiss I will walk the shoreline Between this world and the other I will notice how As the waters retreat  The shells and gems sparkle Half buried in sand and time  The subtleties of what grief reveals is hard to remember in the beginning.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rite of Passage Module One - Stepping into the Liminal</image:title>
      <image:caption>The liminal or in-between states of change and transition are places of paradox, where seemingly incongruent events or emotions co-exist. The liminal state is characterized by uncertainty, disorientation, and a state or place where discomfort is common. The image of a dark, womb-like environment may be the best analogy for what a liminal state holds in terms of potentiality.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rite of Passage Module One - Supporting Potent Liminal States of Change</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rite of Passage work is supported empathetically and compassionately as you move through your unique experience of the territory of grief and loss. Imaginal, emotional, and ritual expressions of your journey will deepen and create the pathway to support you each step of the way. Imagination includes the dynamic images of your mind and consciousness that may arrive in waking life or dreams. Emotions are the sensory experiences of your embodied experience in this work. Ritual involves an intentional act or action in the midst of transformation, a death and rebirth process, offered with the intention of making contact with the mythic, divine, or spirit realm. Ritual acts might include a series of actions, incantations, gestures, story, songs, or dance performed in a sacred or designated place.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rite of Passage Module Two - A Collective Imagination Problem</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our modern paradigm does not accommodate or tolerate discomfort and uncertainty long enough to allow new potentials to emerge. We dip our toe in the waters of the liminal destruction, and externalize the cause of the pain. In this way, we bypass the liminal state of change never truly arriving in a new place. We blame and shame to avoid the discombobulating and disorienting liminal territory. We often do not have sufficient capacity or support to tolerate discomfort and remain in the destruction of the liminal state long enough to also hold creation, the paradox.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rite of Passage Module Two - Emotions are Complex</image:title>
      <image:caption>Being able to name the feeling helps us express the feelings of grief and loss. Often there are multiple and conflicting feelings related to a loss. This is normal. Self-care is an important part of our healing. Grief can consume us. It takes up a lot of space. We can ensure we can be present for ourselves when we practice acts of self-care. Making habit into ritual is an easy way to offer ourselves physical and emotional care. A cup of tea or glass of water, when we take it in with presence and awareness, is an act of self-care. Things we do each day, fix ourselves a meal, take a bath, lie down when we feel tired—tending to our physical wellbeing allows us to offer ourselves compassion and to tune into what our bodies are telling us with regard to our needs. Our bodies do not lie, and we know what we feel even if it takes a little while to name it. Knowing what we feel and how it is related to what we have observed, allows us to begin to recognize our own unmet needs. When we have that information, we can take steps toward having our needs met. This is an important element of our self-care. At times, we all may need help 1) naming the feeling, 2) identifying the unmet need, and 3) making a request that will help meet our need. “When I am by myself for too long, I feel lonely because being near others who offer me physical affection is important to me. Can I please have a hug?”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rite of Passage Module Two - When I See, I Feel</image:title>
      <image:caption>Human beings have a remarkable gift of physically and emotionally taking in both the world around us and within us. Our bodies respond with sensations, emotions, and feelings to what we observe through our senses. This is true always—even if it is outside of our awareness, even when we feel numb or are not present to the moment. Our bodies give us information, and we can trust what we feel. “When I see the sunshine, I feel good.” Connection is Healing. Speaking to that feeling, expressing it in some way and having that received and witnessed by another human creates connection. Especially when we are grieving, those connections matter and offer healing, relief, and understanding. Find an object of interest. Focus on that object’s physical qualities: color, shape, size, texture. Begin to focus intently on one of those physical qualities. Notice what feeling arises (comfortable, uncomfortable, pleasurable, not pleasurable). Notice where that feeling comes from within the physical body. When I see the deep red of the rose petal, I feel content in my chest. I hear you: If others are witnessing, there is a connection of being heard. If you are doing this practice on your own, notice the experience of witnessing yourself. When our expression is witnessed or received, we know that we are not alone or isolated. Connection is the healing component to our pain and isolation. This practice allows us to be fully present in our bodies to support our own healing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rite of Passage Module Zero - Defining the Work</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rite of Passage work can be a self-care, integrative, and transformative process for those seeking support to move through loss and change. Rite of passage is a process of separation from the old way of being, moving through an in-between or liminal state, and then integrating to a new way of being. The liminal state is often disorienting, ambiguous, and uncomfortable. It is where paradoxes exist, destruction and creation occur, and where we can participate in the grieving process so that we can integrate the loss or transform a part of ourselves.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rite of Passage Module Zero - Reflection Materials</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are several books that may be helpful in your as you engage this work. The books are listed in no particular order. The links are to help you easily research the book that calls you and are not and endorsement to purchase the book from any particular seller. It is recommended that you choose one of the following books to help provide a structure for your grief work. These readings are not mandatory, and are meant to offer you new learning and insight to widen your perspective on grief from your place in the liminal state of change. 1) It's OK That You're Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn't Understand by Megan Devine speaks truth to the reality of the cultural gap for grief and loss particularly for those experiencing devastating losses that we must learn to carry and integrate. 2) The Grief Recovery Handbook by John W. James and Russell Friedman unfolds the social-emotional aspects related to our cultural norms, grief and loss, change and transition. 3) Prayers of Honoring Grief by Pixie Lighthorse offers a poetic and prayerful entry into integrating our grief as part of our selves and includes journal prompts based on the reading. 4) Healing Through the Dark Emotions: The Wisdom of Grief, Fear, and Despair by Miriam Greenspan explores the alchemical transformative power of grief through story and experiential exercises. 5) The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief by Francis Weller unfolds our grief as an inherently communal experience, invites us to welcome the sorrow, and engage ritual to initiate healing and transformation. 6) The Grieving Brain by Mary-Frances O’Connor describes the science behind how we learn from love and loss. Alternatively, you may choose another grief centered book that is calling you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Rite of Passage Module Zero - Practices</image:title>
      <image:caption>Various practices will be incorporated into your individual experience of the work. Some of those practices include breath work, meditations, eidetic imagery, and utilizing your natural inclination for creative activities (art, music, dance, writing, cooking, etc.). Nature is another element that offers highly valuable and insightful experiences that support the transformative and integrative processes.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Truth About Grief Module Zero - The Truth Is…</image:title>
      <image:caption>After a loss, we often find that others do not know what to say, say nothing, or say unhelpful things. Most of us have not been given the tools and information about grief to know how to adequately support others or ourselves. What is False About Grief—It is not true that time heals all wounds. Replacing the loss, grieving alone, being strong for others, and burying our feelings will NOT make the pain go away. The Truth about grief is—Our feelings are normal and natural. We may have been socialized to believe that these conflicting and complicated feelings are not normal. There may not have been anyone to receive our expressions of grief. Grievers are NOT broken. We are hurting. We can let go of the pain by feeling it and moving through it with support and companionship. Losses may include Death, divorce or end of a relationship, loss of a career, loss of social structures, loss of community, loss of trust, loss of faith, loss of safety, or loss of health. Deciding to address our emotions during a difficult time of change and loss is an act of radical compassion and healing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Truth About Grief Module Zero - Stepping Into the Liminal</image:title>
      <image:caption>Grief, loss, change, and transitions are by their very nature liminal states. The liminal or in-between states of change and transition are places of paradox, where seemingly incongruent events or emotions co-exist. The liminal state is characterized by uncertainty, disorientation, and a state or place where discomfort is common. The image of a dark, womb-like environment may be the best analogy for what a liminal state holds in terms of potentiality.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Truth About Grief Module Zero - Defining the Work</image:title>
      <image:caption>Rite of passage is one framework for transformative work. For those seeking to move through loss and change, a rite of passage process can be a profound act of self-care. Rite of passage is a process of separation from the old way of being, moving through an in-between or liminal state, and then integrating to a new way of being.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Truth About Grief Module Zero - A Collective Imagination Problem</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our modern cultural paradigm often does not accommodate or tolerate discomfort and uncertainty long enough to allow new potentials to emerge. We dip our toe in the waters of the liminal destruction, and externalize the cause of the pain. The pain of change without necessary support can be overwhelming. Without the support or tolerance for remaining in uncertainty, we bypass the liminal state of change never truly arriving in a new place. We blame and shame to avoid the discombobulating and disorienting liminal territory. We often do not have sufficient capacity or support to tolerate discomfort and remain in the destruction of the liminal state long enough to endure the paradoxes of liminality, engage imaginative ritual, and meet a new way of being.</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Truth About Grief Module Zero - A Womb of Support</image:title>
      <image:caption>With support, we can sustain the discomfort of the uncertainty of the liminal state. There are often conflicting emotions of an intense nature that arise during liminal states. The support agreement flows both ways. Grievers are able to request support, and the supporter also reaches out to check in with the griever who is moving through various aspects their unique journey. The more emotionally honest the exchange is between participant and supporter, the more powerful the relationship becomes. The supporter works from a place of empathy, feeling with the participant both the feelings related to destruction and death as well as those emerging moments of creation and rebirth. Mirroring observations and gentle inquiry reveal stepping stones for the griever who walks an uncharted path. There will be opportunities, unique to each transformational journey, to engage in ritual acts that invite imagination into the creation of new possibilities. Ritual involves an intentional act or action in the midst of transformation, a death and rebirth process, offered with the intention of making contact with the mythic, divine, or spirit realm. Ritual acts might include a series of actions, incantations, gestures, story, songs, or dance performed in a sacred or designated place.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Become part of the Womb of Support. Be a companion and support someone who is hurting. Take three deep heart breaths, feel your own presence in your own body. Now, you can show up for another person fully. Listen from your heart, not your head. Feel it. (Do not try to fix it, make it a positive, or compare it.) Just listen, fully with presence. Listen for the emotional content being shared. Showing up this way is enough. Speak from your heart, compassionately, without judgment, criticism, or interruption. This includes touching the other person while they are expressing their emotions. Even a touch on the arm can be a form of interruption. Remember, we can only imagine based on our own experiences how the other person might be feeling. We can never ever know exactly what another person is feeling. We can reflect back the emotions being expressed. We can offer a hug when they are complete. What and who create your Womb of Support?</image:caption>

      <image:title>The Truth About Grief Module Two - When I See, I Feel</image:title>
      <image:caption>Human beings have a remarkable gift of physically and emotionally taking in both the world around us and within us. Our bodies respond with sensations, emotions, and feelings to what we observe through our senses. This is true always—even if it is outside of our awareness, even when we feel numb or are not present to the moment. Our bodies give us information, and we can trust what we feel. “When I see the sunshine, I feel good.” Connection is Healing. Speaking to that feeling, expressing it in some way and having that received and witnessed by another human creates connection. Especially when we are grieving, those connections matter and offer healing, relief, and understanding. Find an object of interest. Focus on that object’s physical qualities: color, shape, size, texture. Begin to focus intently on one of those physical qualities. Notice what feeling arises (comfortable, uncomfortable, pleasurable, not pleasurable). Notice where that feeling comes from within the physical body. When I see the deep red of the rose petal, I feel content in my chest. I hear you: If others are witnessing, there is a connection of being heard. If you are doing this practice on your own, notice the experience of witnessing yourself. When our expression is witnessed or received, we know that we are not alone or isolated. Connection is the healing component to our pain and isolation. This practice allows us to be fully present in our bodies to support our own healing.</image:caption>
