What a joy to read this Markael! Happiest Birthday and Most Auspicious Solar Return to You 💫 I trust this will be your best year yet, as I trust for all of us that unfolding brings a deepening that nourishes and fulfills, even amidst change.
Rain indeed! I thought about that yesterday while amidst the solstice portal proper…we have been using our wood stove in our bell tent with all the down pouring. There is something magical about being in the tent with the fire and the rain, and I am especially thankful, for all the reasons you expressed, for the water this time of year.
For some time I have been dreaming a Resonance Gathering, mostly my dreaming places this in the desert outside the Carson Valley, NV at some future point when we have land out there. The thought of it happening sooner, perhaps in Oregon, is a fun thought! Why not?
I appreciate that you write in way where it is easy to feel the meaning underlying your expression - especially as you offer invitations into deeper sensing. This kind of nuanced perception you are speaking of: the opening of awareness to the feeling dimension of what is presented to the senses, seems to be the threshold, path, and fruit of nurturing inner resonance.
I found myself relaxing in a truly enjoyable way when I began the section of “Who We Are”. I really…resonate…hehe…with what you shared.
When I read your words “we are tapping into something universal, a living field of potential and awareness..” I recognize those tones as the same ones I find in my own experience - the ones that feel like home. If I were to make a list of the words that encapsulate the essence of my inner experience lately:
Thank you for sharing your own experience of resonance. I sometimes find myself wishing for a lifestyle closer to yours - exploring, traveling, immersive - though it seems I am also one who naturally becomes rooted in place.
I find it intriguing but no longer surprising that you have also been imagining a Resonance Gathering :-). It does seem like most of us (at least on Substack) are in the western part of this continent. Maybe around the fall equinox this year? It could be just a small meetup or campout, envisioning possibilities for something larger...
Happy Summer Solstice to you Markael! Your posts are like boxes of gourmet chocolates for me. I savor each word and I thank you! I love the way you explore dichotomies (like solitude and resonant community) and this paragraph below took my breath away, I'm saving it in my favorite quotations journal:
"We are guided by love. Even as old systems collapse around us, we are not afraid. And as much as we yearn for a more harmonious world, we know that such a world can only be loved and dreamed into existence, not frightened or shamed or guilted into being."
Thank you for being true, and for speaking from the heart. May you know your resonance makes its way to your readers in profound ways. <3
Happy Solstice to you Stephanie! And thank you for your resonance and heart-speech as well. One of those "resonant conversation" quotes was yours - "it was like a gong reverberating over and over again".

Thank you for this piece, E
