The Blue Bird, by Frank Cadogan Cowper (1877-1958).
“I used to think I wasn’t compromising enough. Now I realize in making the leap from mainstream technologist and marketer to an artist, I’ve consistently compromised vision and inspiration to the point its power is diluted. Following inspiration isn’t sissy stuff and demands staying true to it despite core conditioning to abandon anything that doesn’t fit the static quo and the ol’ fight-or-flight survival instinct.”
Evelyn’s blog, Crossroads Dispatches, was one of my favorite ‘reads’ some years ago. While she’s been offline for a bit, it’s still a rich pleasure to delve into her archives.
Have a look – you’ll find lots of inspiration and thought-stirring musings.

Give. Receive. Support the Work
If you’ve found regular inspiration … or a super-handy dose of it … in this and other Sophia’s Children articles and offerings, consider supporting the work in one of these ways:
Jamie has long been an inspiration partner and lantern-holder for her fellow transformation leaders, change catalysts, and creative nonconformists who are living, inspiring, and (intentionally or not) leading the way in these chaotic times.
When she's not tending and stirring the Sophia's Children cauldron, she's following research trails, and serving as the Director of a Repro-Justice-oriented women's health center in her community, co-creating a safe, in-person compassionate care environment in a world that increasingly seems to lack that.
Jamie is a long-time servant of the Muse, a writer and author, an intrepid walker and feline-tender, and is passionate about the healing power and relevance of reclaiming ancestral-wisdom and healing (or at least understanding) ancestral (and other types of) trauma. She has great appreciation for dark chocolate and cooking other nourishing, delicious meals -- often plant-based -- to nourish her partner and her peeps, and otherwise doing the same day to day things we all do.
