New Moon Blessing Poem by Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Dear One, 

The last New Moon of the Season is here. The natural world is in an in-between time now, a kind of liminal space. Do you feel it?

To honor this New Moon time, we have a very special poem from our beloved wild woman elder, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés.

This poem was offered as a blessing for her "soul-friend" John O'Donohue, the great Celtic mystic, after his sudden death in his early 50's. Several decades after her masterpiece, Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estés, now an elder, offers up her perspective on death, and what lies beyond in this blessing poem. 

After these last 2 years, where, collectively, our relationship with death has come to the fore, to hear from Dr. E on this matter is particularly impactful. 

So, please come join me now as we wander through this wildish cosmic poem together. 

Let's see what we find... 

After you've taken in the blessing poem, in the comments here, I'd love to hear from you: How did this poem, perspective, and pondering land for you? Can't wait to read them. ♥️
