Kim’s Connections

Standing in the snow with the herd just now...the trees cracking from the cold, keeping the horses on alert and away from their hay. I stood there to encourage them over, I walked circles around, I sang, I prayed for Australia. Then true to form, the truth underneath bubbled up, the tears came. Underneath I worry too and I thought, if we all let our tears flow, it would put out the fires. Imagine letting ourself pour out today, and the good it would do for us all. With lo...ve, Hatta and me See more

Hello - Our herd of horses and land have been holding me, mothering me, and this post comes from them in many ways. If you are interested in seeing the evolution to my new website and blog resulting from this page, you are so welcome KimCurd.com https://www.kimcurd.com//healing-our-relationship-to-moth/

The word this week from Shorna is ANCESTOR and this pic is of pup Thor holding Shorna’s hoof trim, looking proud as can be. What does the word Ancestor mean to us? Are we perhaps completing something on behalf of our lineage? ... I think of the line of women who were here before me...earlier than mom and nanny...and what they carried that I could release for us all... Love and blessings Kim, Shorna and Thor

I am celebrating the Wild Woman archetype, for the gift of balance she offers the world at this time. Much love, encouragement, support and empowerment to you on this #InternationalWomen’sDay From Women Who Run With the Wolves, Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Perhaps the better question is, Am I the one for you? Am I willing to accept you into our herd, as you are, as you want to be, or do I place an expectation upon you, that you alone carry? Four special souls found their way to me, coming as one herd, to a newcomer in heartfelt presence. Now a choice to be made...to welcome an other because of promises of bareback, ease and gentle nudges of freedom, or to welcome her because she is welcome. Sigh. I have been looking for a ...fix, an instant way to become a bareback rider, with out consideration. Unlike me, and it stands out. And the others? They wonder where my consideration is for them...a bar perhaps too low on the trust and ease and gentle nudges to freedom of their own. Looking for safe and gentle, for the young girls whose spirits cry for horse. Is this the right message for them? Climb aboard and expect to be safe and taken care of? Perhaps wiser to stay grounded and along side, with awareness, presence and deliberate choice. Which is the truer freedom? Love for Pegasus

Sitting at the edge of my power today...looking through the fence, wondering what lies on the other side. Can there be too much freedom? Too much open road? I think not. There is a tether, underneath, after all. Find it and freedom is ours.

Her mane braids itself some days...how magical...

I promised Shorna I would share our experience as a way to contribute to the circles that gathered around us to help while she was sick. This forum helped, you helped save her. Thank you. The other day, our Percheron Shorna, skipped her afternoon feed and with clear liquid running out of her nose the next morning, the vet told us ( well, the parts I heard), Your horse is very sick. I think you’re likely going to need to euthanize her. I can come back at 4:30 to do that for y...Continue reading

I see an open field with a lodge or retreat building of wood and stone, fireplaces and tapestries. It reminds me of safari. A space for reflection, discussion, inspiration and contemplation. A spiritual place to gather, connect, create, worship, relax, and pray. The tone is deep, rich, slow flow. Night time is magical and much of the day is spent preparing for the night time with celestials and stars and of course Mother Moon. A geodome rotates so I am fully surrounded by ...Continue reading

Today we talked about Spirit moving through our feet. Walking the earth to receive blessings and bounty. Feeling red for the root chakra, wearing red to show our roots and to greet Ancestors who are welcome to walk with us. Feel Ancestors at your back, protecting, guiding, blessing. Swoon in their love and support. Walk towards the dream you dream. Take a step forward and any step, no matter how small, is movement. Our herd message is to walk into hope. Spirit carries hope ...already and walking with awareness of Ancestry brings forward their hopes for you. Together we put our lives into a tapestry. Take your place ~ find the opening, sew your colours into the pattern that has been started for you. There is space where you fit perfectly, you add to the beauty, enough space to be seen and be connected and touching in just the right way ~ feel community and the theme of your time here. Think about your theme. Pippin says her Ancestors travelled from mountains to be here. Winds and narrow passages made the journey slow. She moves with deliberate steps, to preserve energy, be delicate in movement, grace-filled steps, acute listening. Her perspective, as a miniature horse, is close to the ground. Look at what lies in front of you. There is gold on the ground at your feet and ahead, yours to enjoy. There is plenty for you. There is space for you. You have the freedom to explore the unnoticed, the unobserved, and find new riches that way. Take shelter offered by the herd. Receive their protections, warmth and yet be spacious in your own realm. Small and mighty. Small movements, closer or further, can have a huge impact on someone. Even leaning one way or the other, can signal invitation or warning. Be aware of your tiny part in the Ancestral formation in the tapestry of life. Love, Pippin and Kim

This message came today while connecting with my Percheron friend Shorna, for you. I appreciate you reading and hope you will feel the blessings in the words. The emptiness you carry is welcome, put it down here while you rest for a while. The land will absorb and absolve you. It will carry you and your weight. It will carry your children and your grandchildren, great grandchildren and more. It will carry your buildings, your stories, your garbage, your wealth. It carries you...r songs, your bibles, your alphabets. It carries the dead, pulling them deep into its core, to mother’s breath. There is nothing it will not carry for you. There is no limit. There is no tipping point or ending, as there was no beginning. Your contribution, your weight, is welcome. Add it to the pile. Make it heavy with life. Your uses, your discards, also your creations, your songs, your laughter, your family, your ideas, dreams, wishes and woes. Your pains, your sorrow, gifts refused, changing your mind, reflections, memories, wasted opportunities, harsh words spoken, broken dreams, broken cars, broken teeth. Money earned, money spent, money borrowed, money lent. Careers, children, marriage, trips, wardrobes, friends, neighbours, pets. Relatives, in-laws, books, food, illnesses, bouquets, antiques. First dates, first debt, last chances, last breath. And the in-between romances, breakups, boredoms, walks in the park, pushes on the swing, handshakes, necklaces, hats, rings. So many many things. Sunsets, rarer still rainbows, clovers, surprises, prizes and fate. All of this we carry for you. You and I are free to roam and wander, collect and discard. Build, forgive, destroy, give up, blame and create, love. It matters not one bit, for there is great love for you here, always. With love, Shorna and Kim

Who she is or why she came I only know she makes herself sad Separate from the love and beauty Attracted by her own sweetness

Heartsong I am opening my heart to you I am offering to speak my truth to you show you my courage, show you my gifts... I am deep diving under the surface of my stories to my heartsong playing beneath. If you want to go beneath to your heartsong I am willing to listen.

Feather Love moves lightly...like feathers on air Look for feathers today... In all places, online, spoken word and rhymes Floating to you, landed for you An exhale of Love for you, from an Other Inhale Love Penetrates deeply, filling my core Extremities tingling Moving down, down, down Filling me with golden honey Pulsing force of life so pure Flowing with possibility Sighing with relief That my need has been seen My call has been answered By the exhale of an Other. Imagine my Love floating on air, blessings landed Drifting to people and animals and lands How far my love can travel How deeply it can nourish As a feather found landed today From me, sitting on a chair, in a house, on a farm, on a rock, in a northern town in Canada My exhale of love to you Kiss

Grounding So much of my day is spent grounding Reminding myself I am here, I am safe, I am loved So that I can return to bliss.... The land and the animals are standing here when I return to the present moment. They always here ~ me who travels around and around bliss in the pauses. And they living in the pauses. What is it like to live inside the pause too Round and arounds occasional interruptions of Wildflowers floating on summer breeze inside me. Grounding holds me as a balloon. Mother holding me to this earth, containing the experience for me. This tension between grounding and bliss Is the dance of my life Kiss Until they become one

Empty Are you reconciled, my darling, to your promised land? Have you undone and unseen, so that you are empty? Can you feel the wind blow through you yet?... Empty is beautiful. Look around you today...all you see and experience is showing you what you have inside to empty. Empty by breath, exhales, laughing, crying, releases. Empty by kind touch, by silence, meditation, stillness, nature, a pause ... Maybe another pause...at an unusual place in time. Maybe before you speak or maybe instead of speaking... Maybe be a flower today. You are a most fragrant, colourful flower. See your colour, your scent... Is there anything that flower needs to do to fulfill its mission~ no, Flower needs simply to be. Your scent, your colours will attract Others, your beautiful empty presence is your gift today.

Peace You know the difference What moves you is peace What moves you is fear... Be moved by peace today Know all is well Ask what do I have to add to that wellness? Nothing more Nothing more is asked of you Know all is well What more is there in you? Appreciation? Joy? Gratitude? Sharing? Celebrating? Smiling, Laughing, Playing? Let yourself soar today ~ Smile, be Light Today is a day of peace for you ~ let it be that Share peace energy with the world, your gift today.

The Children Horses and Mothers around the world step forward to embrace the children. If you want to connect to the Mother, become her, honour her. She does not shrink or suffer or hide. She moves deliberately, calmly, to get the children. No tears or rage or sadness. No pleading or suffering. Go to them. Open your arms and be safe protection, safe haven for returning home. Mother does not need saving. Mother is saving grace. Our horse Shorna is sad for the children too. ...She moves slowly, deliberately. Her plea to you is to open your heart, open, open, open to the feelings of loss and forgiveness. Stand in the hurt, do not hide from it. Feel it, allow it, release it, be free from it. Your mind wants to heal it, fix it, yet the world needs your suffering, your indignance, you to feel the pain. Shorna says, I am here to teach you to suffer. Suffering is not a loss, but a gain. Suffer with me, not for me. Feel your own pain and I will feel mine. Together we walk towards the sun, in the shadow of the night, still seeing, still warm, still very much alive. The shadow holds the light ~ be there and be free. See more

When I Cast Myself Out Today I experienced fear, real, deep fear. And as I stood listening to the voice telling me to be angry at my partner, to give up, to walk away, because I’m not like him, I’m never going to be able to be as good as him...I am so grateful that in that moment I saw myself casting myself out of the circle I have longed to be in, that I deserve to be in. While my childhood, my parents, past experiences have held me back, in this moment today it was me who ...held the reins and who in a thundering voice was casting me out, never to return, banished from the kingdom of Good People, Talented People. Wow. I am still in my fear, tears still streaming down my face. My partner wisely ignored my rants and has left me to move ahead, along with my fear. He refused to do it for me, he just said I could be afraid and still do it. Mad, ashamed, frustrated, rageful, embarrassed, sad, but mostly scared. I’m so glad I heard the little voice tell me I am casting myself out. I was polite to the love of my life, though I did not manage eye contact, I stayed and I was polite. My scary appointment is in fifteen minutes. He gave me the opportunity to do it even though I am scared and possibly not skilled, certainly not experienced. I will have that dignity, that experience in my bones of courage and grit, I am very grateful to him and to my little voice. See more

Today’s message is Meet Your Divine Feminine ~ a meditation perhaps I take a breath, a real one; deep and rich, and I exhale. I am filled with emerald green, I smell sweet wet grass, I am filled with grace. Picture Goddess Te Fiti from the movie Moana, lying on her side, blanketing the island in a rich green carpet of growth and nourishment, life.... I exude. I overflow. I am beauty. I am abundance. I am exquisite joy. Life flows through me. I delight in a reunion with another goddess. Flowing into each other, delighting in the company. Giggling at the abundance flowing out of our selves, dancing in the plenty, holding hands in celebration,and joy, joy, joy! As I transition to a life based on feminine values, this is who I am.
