Close up of Sarah (white woman with long blond hair and gentle smile) with text that reads “What’s On Your Plate with Sarah Metzger”

“Rest is the New Resistance”

Sarah and I went deep into an enriching conversation about breaking up with modern society, grief, wholeness, wildness, and resting our way through it all.

Just wrote this little line in a podcast blurb:

Embrace rest as a devotional practice, letting it trace the edges of what needs healing and attention and become a nest for deep wild dreams.

Indeed!

I painted a bunny

Sunrise over misty & snowy frozen lake, a little bit of cedar branch at the top of the frame

Clear sky, lit from the side by the sun in the mist, a long winding path ploughed through the snow on a frozen lake

So much beauty 🤩

So are you, my friend💗

After a decade without one, I have been called to build an altar. I found and added a little cauldron - makes my witchy heart so happy.
