Feel Me now as Mother Earth
I am your rock of strength.
Rest at this space of balance, where day and night are equal
and prepare to journey with me
into the mystic.
Happy Equinox!

“Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity
'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love” 🕊️

“Gonna have fun in the city
Be with my girl, she's so pretty
She looks fine tonight
She is out of sight to me
Tonight I'll spend my bread, tonight
I'll lose my head, tonight
I've got to get, to-night
Monday I'll have Friday on my mind”
