What Will Hold You?
What can you trust to be there for you when you most need it?
What would hold you like the sea in this poem?
What would you say ” Yes” to without reserve?
That, yes that, is what you are meant to give your attention to.
First Lesson
by Philip Booth
Lie back daughter, let your head
be tipped back in the cup of my hand.
Gently, and I will hold you. Spread
your arms wide, lie out on the stream
and look high at the gulls. A dead-
man’s float is face down. You will dive
and swim soon enough where this tidewater
ebbs to the sea. Daughter, believe
me, when you tire on the long thrash
to your island, lie up, and survive.
As you float now, where I held you
and let go, remember when fear
cramps your heart what I told you:
lie gently and wide to the light-year
stars, lie back, and the sea will hold you.
New Moon in Leo 2015
The New Moon in Leo is an expansive time. Here at Twinkle’s Place our home feels open in ways it has not in many many months. Perhaps because we have one less resident temporarily at this time and the energy is moving with more ease. Perhaps too because new and better things are on the horizon.
Mystic Mamma contributors tell us it is a time of sparkling creativity!
And to that we can certainly claim true, for this summer itself has been filled with such creativity and the closer we come to the new moon, the more powerful and vibrant the feeling is. Transitional times are upon us all.
Gather with us on August 14th to welcome the New Moon phases of creativity in its fullest manifestation. With the clear energy of our home, allow yourself to embrace your divinity and call in your deepest desires.

Reverence for Life – UU Animal Ministry
When I lived in Concord, MA, I was delighted that my home congregation – First Parish in Concord – had a Reverence for Life group. Each month a vegan potluck was hosted that showcased such delicious food! Additionally, a guest speaker would present to those assembled. It was a beautiful way to begin to inculcate a deeper understanding of true reverence for life – all beings and truly begin to take steps towards living into our first principle of the inherent worth and dignity of all along with respect for the interdependent web of life for which we are all part of.
