@jeanne-mayell Not one ounce of a lack of interest with me, and I suspect the same with the community. I think folks are reeling, but your words give me hope. I remember your homepage had the Persephone vision at one point. I thought that the 2020 election meant the worst was over, but now I see that we were in Spring, temporarily, and now we're headed back to winter. It makes sense and gives me hope. I am still filled with dread for 2025, but it will be temporary, and we will emerge from it -- to address urgent catastrophes -- but we will still emerge.
@jeanne-mayell "the world will little note, nor long remember...." In Lincoln's famous Gettysburg address we can see our tasks ahead. I,for one, feel like I have been battling one cause or another for the majority of my 69 years. I am weary, I am tired. These days... I wonder... how many more battles do I want to stick around for.

@jeanne-mayell It is amazing, the way thoughts and visions and lives pass each other and brush up against each other. When I read your post on Persephone, it seemed so familiar, then I remembered that my daughter in law published a young adult paranormal novel based on the Persephone story, in 2015, Downcast. She was completely immersed in the project and her vision. The ancient story must have been sent to those who were able to hear it, in the wind, the trees.

Another interesting Persephone overlap here. She happens to be in my November poem, the one I wrote in 2020 and Jeanne read during multiple Circle of Light meditations in the lead up to both the 2020 and 2024 elections. Her mother is mentioned by name, she is referred to but not in name.
@lovendures "She is Goddess Demeter, who longs for her daughter to return in the spring as she ensures a bountiful fall harvest." from the poem November by Lovendures.
Ok... who got the fortune cookie that read "May you live in interesting times". ;-)
