Welcome back! As we take off on this 9th season, I review my thought processes in 2024, a year I labeled with the word Emergence, as a transformation of what I felt we were living collectively, Emergency. Victoria Amazonica led me, with visions and the year-long journey around the Medicine Wheel, in Season #8. Now, a concrete emergence, which echoes the initial birth of VA, which I retell, is coming into my life. A new life is a statement of hope and belief in the power of life to renew itself, to recycle death into rebirth, to respond to wails of despair and hopelessness with laughter, intention, gusto, joy and the intense pleasure of being intensely and purposefully, alive. I review the development of the thematic variations I have presented with each season. Then I introduce the 9th season with an invitation: Please follow me, dear fellow explorer, as we enter the density of the forest, hand in hand with the Green Man. I invite you, Green Human, to join our adventure.
