Letting Go of What We Can’t Control — Field Notes with Rachel Dickson
|
01/22/26 Greetings Wildhearted Friends! Here we go...it’s threatening winter weather season. And as a major winter weather event heads across the land, here comes the next big reminder of how much we rely upon power and water sources for heat and survival. Letting go of the known. It’s pivot time. It’s shift into preparedness and planning time. And then it’s don’t let your mind spiral into worse case scenario time. Be gentle with your feelings and your heart. We know worse case scenario here in WNC all too well. As do other parts of the country ravaged by wildfires and other natural disasters. So here we go...into another potential...not-really-sure-how-this-may-play-out weather event. I just wanted to say...I’m right there with you. If power goes out...pretty much we go off grid and in many cases we go communication dark as internet and cell service wanes. Total discomfort zone land. Conveniences go out the window...and well...we land in survival mode. So I’m saying this to myself as much as to the next person...be gentle and kind with yourself. Slow down. Be present. Probably the best thing is if we can’t access facebook we won’t be drilled with all the drama and hype and such. Things will slow down just because they have to. This too shall pass. This is the way. Wild-Heart Practice of the Week:“Pause and Notice”Take a few moments today to notice what you can control and what you cannot. Wildhearted Gathering Update: ReWeaving: Mending the Divide between Soul-Self and Earth-Self

3/11/26 Greetings, Wild-Hearts, Truth-Tellers, Light-Followers, and Builders of a Different Kind of Life. I too crave a different kind of buzz. From the very first time I heard the song Royals by Lorde, something about those lyrics captivated me. The words felt gritty and messy but also deeply real. I could sense there was truth hiding in them… but I struggled to understand the metaphors for a long time. If you want to get a better sense of what I’m talking about, take three minutes and...
02/26/26 Greetings, Wildhearted, Cycle-Keepers, Light-Followers, and Brave Becoming Ones. If you were to ask me what my favorite season is you’d hear me say, Spring. Spring is that time where things come back to life...and awaken from the long slumber of Winter. The smells, the return of the color green, longer daylight, warmer temps, the return of the songbirds. I think much of my appreciation for Spring is because I love to be outside...and Winter restricts outdoor adventuring a bit. And...
02/19/26 Hello Courageous Souls, Threshold-Walkers, Inner-World Gardeners, and Love-Bringers! Patterns within myself and the subtle spiritual hygiene of attention. image from litfuck.com I’ve been noticing some things lately. If you happen to be a facebook user...you likely have a facebook routine. (Instagram and Tiktok apply here too.) Where you open the app and begin scrolling...or...maybe you begin to review new posts on groups you’re a part of...or any other plethora of ways to utilize...
