Dear Rachelle,
Your audible loving voice is a blessing to me today as I heard you for the first time.

[...] through this project. Here’s a small gift for you in celebration. Rachelle wrote a beautiful post a few weeks ago, and included a blessing for artists. I took her words and made a little watercolor [...]

Thank you for the lovely blessing Rachelle & thanks also to Jolie for allowing you to make us a gift of her beautiful image. I’m looking forward to the re-vamped Magpie Girl; more art sounds WONDERFUL! May it be so. x

I’m glad it touched you, my friends.

Jolie, I love the artwork. Maybe we should send it out with the recording to people we like?

Kazari, withmate is a term midwives sometimes use. It describes the process of being with someone, and holding space for them, while they are at a critical point in thier journey/process. It’s a little like “helpmeet” but more communal. I believe it’s Celtic in orgin. I learned in when I read Margaret Guenther’s book “Holy Listening” on spiritual direction. I read it years ago, but I still consider it one of the most influential things I’ve ever read.
