i love the story of the rainmaker… i love donning this energy of balance and journeying into an unbalanced field…. i love plopping down in the center and being very still…. i love tuning into cosmic hum and being harmony… i love the rains coming as naturally as the sun and moon and stars when we rest in the stillpoint and incarnate oneness…. thousandfold thanks earth mother and sky father for always raining blessings on the children of the universe…

today, i am a breaking wave falling home to shore where the water holds the memory of always being love…

In the process of discovering bodhichitta, the journey goes down, not up. It’s as if the mountain pointed toward the center of the earth instead of reaching into the sky. Instead of transcending the suffering of all creatures, we move toward the turbulence and doubt. We jump into it. We slide into it. We tiptoe into it. We move toward it however we can. We explore the reality and unpredictably of insecurity and pain, and we try not to push it away. If it takes years, if it takes lifetimes, we let it be as it is. At our own pace, without speed or aggression, we move down and down and down. With us move millions of others, our companions in awakening from fear. At the bottom we discover water, the healing water of bodhichitta. Right down there in the thick of things, we discover the love that will not die.”

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 214 – 7/18/2015
any moments in this beautiful space of silence, in this garden of serenity, gladden the heart… thousandfold thanks for a sojourn here in joyful celebration… a peace pilgrimage into the silent heart with every breath…
In beauty may I walk
All day long may I walk
Through the returning seasons may
I walk
Beautifully will I possess again
Beautifully birds,
Beautifully joyful birds
On the trail marked with pollen
may I walk
With grasshoppers about my feet
may I walk
With dew about my feet may I
walk
With beauty may I walk
With beauty before me may I walk
With beauty behind me may I walk
With beauty above me may I walk
With beauty all around me may I
walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of
beauty, lively, may I walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of
beauty, living again, may I walk
It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.

traveling with an invisible passport stamped indelibly with the places to go,
we enter the interior spaciousness of the divine akashic ocean
dancing the meandering path of sublime belovement
aligning with our one heart resonating in all

we enter the interior spaciousness of the divine akashic ocean
involuting like a quantum leaping dolphin
aligning with our one heart resonating in all
evoluting like turtle with slow, deliberate steps

involuting like a quantum leaping dolphin
breathing in rhythm with the waves
evoluting like turtle with slow, deliberate steps
such a practice of devotion opens the flow of grace

i awaken re-membering i am home in the space i so dearly love… gifts from the sea cottage with windows and doors wide open… the wind rushes in carrying the scent of the salty sea which is whipped like frothy cream… i so love living here and being the ocean… living so simply, simply and essentially, simply being essence, always being love…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 211 – 7/15/2015
early awakening opens the loving eye to saunter along the rainbow trail fueled by a litany of thank you’s deeper and deeper into the depths of the soul where peace abides in the midst of the flowing tides of grace… in this saced space, one simply needs to be open and to embrace the great mystery as it breathes us into full expression expanding our universe, our one song, the deep song, infinitely…

dancing now in the dark under the almost new moon with birthing circle siSTARS, we midwife the flow of creativity pouring from the great mother’s silver sliver… floating in the waters of her womb, we dream of a world of peace and love, invoking and drawing down sister moon’s energy of compassion, we seed and breathe the world anew…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 209 – 7/13/2015
like the moon, life is always changing… i’ve been on the move today after such a beautiful day of sabbath rest… i’m feeling the waning of the moon and the setting of the sun earlier and earlier in my space on the planet… with a new moon in cancer on wednesday, we have the perfect opportunity to dream into reality a nurturing world by drawing down our sister moon’s energy of mothering
New Moon, New Story, New World
deep within our bloodstream
listen for the unremembered chords
of a wider consciousness
where we all swim in an ocean of love

listen for the unremembered chords
coursing through the River Beloved
where we all swim in an ocean of love
re-membering paradise in the watery womb

coursing through the River Beloved
awakening to dreams of a new world breathing
re-membering paradise in the watery womb
reaching out as one and seeing her germinate
~
awakening to dreams of a new world breathing
where peace, love and bliss live in each moment
re-membering paradise in the watery womb
what dreams are you living as the new world today?

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 208 – 7/12/2015
honoring the call to come home to the silence of our one heart, i am re-treating in a dark cave where a peaceful stream flows… it is as if i’m in a float tank sans outer sensory stimulation… i re-member more than four decades ago experiencing a great awakening after realizing original sin is separation and almost immediately seeing a clear vision of reality as oneness…
i begin a lucid cycling journey following behind the divine child and her father on my bicycle. i carry my singing bowl in one of my arms and i come to a space where i must stop… here, i begin a wondrous journey exploring open heart u, a dream i’ve been incubating many moons… how much fun to wander these grounds. to meet people who are drawn to beloved community, to connect with so many dog star offspring here to guide in the opening of inner vision, to truly be seeing eye dogs…
the grace of this day is amazing and i breathe it in again and again with the ever present chant of thank you, thank you, thank you…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 207 – 7/11/2015
my dancing shoes are on and the shero journey calls… although i’m traveling only a couple of blocks, i’m making a quantum leap to live at graceland in the village of stillness in a space of essence and a state of love in a world of flow… ready, set, breathe deeply through our one heart… the rainbow trail opens magically leading us into great mystery and we dance, dance wherver we may be…
