An Invitation

There is a softer life waiting for you — one shaped not by urgency but by devotion. Come slowly. Come barefoot. Bring your ordinary, unfinished hours, and let them become holy.

The Patient Earth ReceivesThe New Moon in Taurus

Saturday, May 16, 2026  ·  4:01 PM EDT This Cycle's Threshold

The most patient new moon of the year. She does not ask for spectacle. She asks for soil. A meditation on soft beginnings, sacred slowness, the goddesses who hold this current, and the small embodied ritual that plants a seed in the body's own earth.

— What this letter is —

This is not a grief guide. It does not have stages or steps or a five-bullet recovery plan.

It is a long, quiet letter written from one griever to another — about the things no one tells you about the first year. The Pearson's Nut Roll in aisle four. The handwriting in a coat pocket. The body that remembers a date the mind has forgotten. The lonely gap between who you are and who you are expected to be by now.

It is also a letter about a Mother's Day afternoon, a bouquet of tulips, and the last full conversation I had with my father.

— From the Letter —

The lonely part is not the missing them.

The missing them is love continuing — and as much as it aches, you would not trade it for not having loved them at all.

The lonely part is that everyone else's life has gone back to its normal shape, and yours has not.

If you have time — and tea, and a window to look out of — the full letter is here.

— This letter is for —
  • anyone whose anniversary is today, or this week, or sometime soon
  • anyone in the first year of carrying a loss
  • anyone in the seventh year, or the seventeenth
  • anyone who has been told it should be easier by now
  • anyone who has stood in a grocery store and forgotten why
  • anyone who is still saying their name out loud, alone, in the car
— With you, today —

✦

Hello, beloved. I am so glad you wandered in.

Wild Wandering began as a small, quiet practice — a way of returning to myself in a world that kept asking me to be louder, faster, less. I made this sanctuary because I needed it. And then, because you needed it, too.

What you will find here is what I would offer you over a slow cup of tea: rituals for the ordinary morning, love letters to the cards, studies of the goddesses who walked before us, and the small, devotional tools I have gathered along the way. Nothing here is urgent. Everything here is invitation.

Come as you are. Stay as long as you like. The practice will meet you exactly where you stand.

Wander wisely, wild one
