Otters are outgoing, playful and devoted to their families
Organized, constructive and skillful managers are they

You could say their business is pleasure
as they seem to make this attitude work in their favor

Feminine energy is both grounding like the Earth and powerful like Water

On this Valentine’s Day and everyday
Love the woman in you and embrace her nurturing on your soul

Redefine masculinity by tapping into creative mothering energetics
with soft imaginative faculties

Though a Full Snow Moon arrives later this month
The subtleties of Spring are stirring now

Hard to believe alignment of masculine and feminine energies are coming together
on Spring Equinox barely over a month away

Given this frigid cold right Tao in Northern New England
paradoxically, the intensities of Light heat up everyday

Like changing seasons, shifting tides require us to
ride the waves of cleansing and purification

The time is now to heal our polarity . . .

It is natural to fear the unknown of that which is mysterious

Why do you think so many women were accused of being
witches and burned at the stake?

At what cost do we “make America great again?”
Sounds like the justification for genocide is getting louder on the airwaves folks

But on the flip side of the coin . . .
There’s a polar shift drifting toward activist love that’s got people feeling saintly
or at least perhaps moving toward our better angels in humanity . . .

Do you need to have more fun?
Do you need to let your worries roll off you back?

May Otter reawaken your sense of wonder and an opening up to new experiences
So that you can go with the natural flow of life and let your inner child shine on
instead of pushing against the river and fighting the current

See the good in yourself and everyone else without preconceptions or suspicions
Use mental martial arts to create an envy, jealousy and a catty free zone . . .

What we are talking about is cultivating soul sisterhood with each other –
It’s hard to demonize or have enemies in this space

Come from a place of authenticity and trust in your everyday business
Meditate on letting go of attachments to material world things

Remember that clinging to the pleasures of the physical senses
is a recipe for feeling a grave sense of recycled disappointed!

See you up the trails,

Ari
