Finding Sanctuary at the Crossroads

In this week's episode, I pull a card from the DREAMER Path Oracle deck and receive the beautiful message of Gift of Air—a reminder of renewal, levity, compassion, and the healing power of breath.Rather than a guided meditation this week, I share a meditative reading of my fairy tale, John of the Crossroads, a story I wrote and performed more than a decade ago. As I reflected on crossroads, recovery, and life's transitions in this week's post, I rediscovered this story and realized it still has something to teach me.John tends a sacred crossroads—a place of sanctuary and transformation—where travelers can rest until they know which direction they wish to go. Along the way, we meet a tree-girl in hiding, an angry dwarf, a bowl of soup, and the quiet wisdom of waiting.May this story offer you a moment of rest, reflection, and perhaps a reminder that not every crossroads needs to be rushed through.With love,Susan This is a public episode.
