Phoenix Rising (Eclipse Season)
August came and went with incredible speed. A whirlwind of emotions filled my being and clouded my essence, pulling me into deep introspection. Yet the same arrival is inevitable: And still, I rise.
Like a phoenix rising from its ashes, born again and again.
Like a rose blooming through the thorns, soft and romantic.
Like a stormy night, powerful and sure.
Each day I fall deeper in love with this journey we call life. Whenever I find myself wanting to rush the process or search for the next “destination” on the path, I’m brought back to presence. To my senses. To the luxurious gift of simply being human.
This month, I’ve felt tears swell in my eyes, rain slide down my skin, wind rock me off my feet, and the primal excitement curling in my stomach before the next kill. Someone recently told me I reminded them of Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. What a compliment. ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold,’ and I have to agree.
“It may be cold outside, but inside, I am on fire.” 🎶 ⬇️
While traversing the vast universe of self and spirit, I’ve been blessed by deep inspiration from other artists. Let’s talk about Teyana Taylor’s Escape Room. This body of work, this visual and auditory journey, is a masterpiece of the phoenix rising story. A woman who knows her fire is uncontainable chooses to love anyway. She gets burned by her own flame, bows in defeat, and collapses into the ash. Until, without fail, the fire begins again.
Because it’s who she is. It’s who we are. The eternal flame of creation.
She finds the courage to stand up, reclaim her power, fall back in love, and create with the force of a thousand suns. I see myself in this masterpiece. And I see the collective in it, too.
Hate and greed have ruled for far too long. It’s time for the era of Truth and Justice. This is for the real lovers. The real artists. The ones who remember what Life is all about.
Humanity is standing on the edge of a renaissance. A R3volution of sorts, if you will. 😉
And this time… it will be televised.
As we enter the closing scenes of a Year 9 (the final chapter before the new cycle) get ready for plot twists and miracles.
Welcome to eclipse season. On September 7–8, a total lunar eclipse will drape the skies in shadow, pulling hidden truths to the surface. Then, on September 21, a partial solar eclipse ushers in a new moon, inviting us to release what’s been heavy and rise into what’s calling us forward.
Just like the phoenix, these portals remind us that destruction isn’t a final form, it’s a just a phase in the process of transformation. ‘Tis the season of surrender and becoming, where the old falls away so the eternal fire within us can burn brighter than ever.
Stay present. Stay authentic.
The time is near.
Enjoy the ride.
