Fireflies at Ochanomizu, by Kobayashi Kiyochika (1847-1915). US-PD.
The heartful, soulful quest.
The heart’s yearning is its primary language.
In her fresh musing, “Identity, Purpose and Destiny in Moana,” Janet Chui writes,
“The Sacred Feminine is strong in this movie. The female relationships are strong, supportive, and incredibly deep beyond what is shown on the surface. When the quest is literally to restore the heart of a goddess, the ways in which the title character, Moana, accomplishes this is a treasure trove of lessons.”

The quest to “restore the world’s lost heart” and reunite Lover and Beloved — very timely even in the current astro-language — is an unfolding one, eons old, and yet timely just now, too.
Find kindred-spirit, heart-stirring inspiration in these Sophia’s Children musings:
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.
