It’s a beautiful, warm summer evening, and I’m visiting โ๐พ๐โฏ๐ ๐๐๐๐ถ in the ๐๐พ๐๐นโฏ๐๐โฏ๐๐ of Portugal. The semi-transparent ๐ป๐๐๐ ๐โดโด๐ makes her glowing appearance from beyond the trees to touch the surface of the river that births from a distant โณโด๐๐๐๐ถ๐พ๐ well.
The sweet waters silently make their way into the secretive caves of my heart, filling all gaps of uncertainty in this time of great upheaval, โโฏ๐ ๐โฏ๐๐พ๐๐ฝ๐พ๐โ, calming, and nourishing.
I ๐โฏโ๐๐๐ถ๐๐๐ need these ๐๐พ๐๐น waters to quench the thirst of my soul, here I find โโด๐โฏ!
For this reason, I return wholeheartedly to refill my feminine heart with the flowing rivers of Mother Gaia; she is the medicine of love. 
As the sweet waters slide through the earth banks and stones, the ๐โดโด๐ caresses and charges each and every drop. A swallow bird flies over the surface to drink and carry the silver fluid to its nest and new life. Leaves fall gently from ancient trees; they release themselves, and so do I…
Releasing, transmuting, abandoning the need to control, to maintain what no longer sustains.
A blue dragonfly lands on my right arm, and communities of tiny white butterflies enchant this sacred river even more. 
As I bravely swim into the shadowy side of this river, I immediately access my own darkness, I invite healing and help, so I can ๐โฏโฏ 
with more clarity what is ๐ฝ๐พ๐น๐นโฏ๐ and what’s controlling me from beyond my conscious awareness.
The water obeys, cleanses, and spirals around my own darkness. The round-shaped ๐โดโด๐ is reflected in the pupils of my eyes, mesmerising me into a penetrating โ๐ถ๐โฏ.
โโฏ๐ silver light sinks deeply into my skin and starts running through my blood, ๐ฎ๐ฝโฏ reminds me I carry within me all her cycles, from her ๐น๐ถ๐๐๐โฏ๐๐ to her ultimate ๐ท๐โดโด๐. I embody her craters and her powers.
I talk to her, and she listens, she cares, and she whispers back at me.
The Moon is a beloved and most faithful companion! She knows when Iโm blue and has the medicine to heal and bring me back to ๐๐ฝโด๐โฏ๐โฏ๐๐โฏ๐. She has the ๐๐๐๐โฏ๐๐พโด๐๐ power to rebirth me, toโ๐๐พ๐นโฏ, to inspire, to show me the way forward.
All I need to do is follow the path that unfolds โ๐๐ถ๐น๐๐ถ๐๐๐ before me, before you, before us, women of the โณโดโด๐.
And I keep bathing and keep walking, feeling the round stones of this wild river on my feet.
An aura of silver envelopes me with a blanket of stars, sparkling so subtly yet I feel it in my own depths.
I love you, โณ๐ช๐ช๐ฉ
Please bless my path and all of my ๐๐พ๐๐โฏ๐๐ who are brave enough to walk into the unknown and uncertain path of the light. In unison, we crown each other with ๐๐๐โฏ๐โ๐๐ฝ, acknowledgment, and ๐ โด๐โฏ๐.
Together we celebrate the ancient ๐ขโด๐น๐นโฏ๐๐ ๐๐พ๐๐นโด๐ that each one of us carries in our bones, souls, and hearts. We keep walking, oceans apart, to distant shores of ๐ธโด๐๐๐ธ๐พโด๐๐๐โฏ๐๐โฏ๐, with our heads held high, in ๐โด๐โฏ๐โฏ๐พโ๐๐๐, under your majestic light!
