Artist, writer & teacher questing to live with Coeurage. I share field notes on the journey to follow the creative heart. When I'm not writing, I'm usually chasing my own Firebird (or my bossy border-collie) through the Irish rain. AmayaRourke.com

Hitting an impenetrable (but definable) wall vs hitting an impenetrable (but undefinable) fog of irritation
You ever eat a food so bizarre and unpleasant that it gives you a mild existential crisis about reality?
You may think this is impossible, but I am here to say that it indeed can happen at any time
The chances are never 0

Yet, all of my bandwidth for writing beautiful/thoughtful things is used to barely keep up with workโwhich I also love & find important!
I want enough for both! BOTH!

at the point in a project where I am 10000% decision fatigued
but there are still some truly important decisions I have to make
and my brain is struggling to find a fuck to give (my primary energy source, dwindling, sparce, in drought) so I can apply myself to the task ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ

01.08.2025 20:51 โ ๐ 10 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Maybe the problem is how astrologer is popularly defined, and the silent expectations we assume it has.
But I also understand this.
I see you as a priest/ess facilitating connection with God(s) and faith community, and astrology is one of the tools you use to do so.
We are made of bread and light, and love that is the song of a blackbird to the morning, a bat's wings to the night air. The moon, a scythe, to reap us, the sun, a child that sails away - we weave a religion full of fatherless sons and immaculate women that only gods may touch. We have always made our own kings, and tasting hunger, truth has watched, its crow's eye upon the work of harvest and plough. To cut the sheaf, then the earth, these dark sods, rich as blood, raised, but a promise even as they harden - of hope perhaps, in a seed or the black tips of a hare's ears, in the secrets of our grandmothers.

Narrator: the only way she would be capable of making this a 2 hour workshop is if she wrote an entire masterclass first
Who knew that iteration on old work with a better/more aligned focus would actually make much greater work in the long run? ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ญ
