fortune shone brightly on the rainbow trail today as i was able to gather thrice for jubilant celebrations with beautiful beings across the country from my home sanctuary… so much healing as we breathed in, danced, sang and shared stories of our brave new world vibrating at the frequency of divine consciousness… may we all re-dedicate ourselves to living wholeheartedly, co-creating peace and harmony geometrically… i commit to gathering daily for this purpose… thanks so much for joining me on this path of devotion…

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 286 – 9/28/2015
blessed be! long, long ago and far away, an astral explosion sent intense waves of light to our soular system… twelve billion years in flight, the light is here now recalibrating our DNA, our consciousness, returning us to love, the beloved where we re-member who we are… beloved is our name… hear her silently whispering for us to come home to our one heart…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 285 – 9/27/2015
our one heart bursts wide open with joy today
drawing down the energy of supermoon and gamma ray
transporting us into an expansive field of unity
may we all dwell here in peace and harmony
~
an extraordinary journey today… to a whole new state calling for a different way:
dance the path with presence taking courage come what may
deepen into trusting the grace always in play
relax and soften surrendering to love
flow with divine below and above
inside/outside, in front of/behind
every breath, one of a kind

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 284 – 9/26/2015
such a propitious moment to dive deeply within and embrace what’s hiding in the closet…. shining a light on all that you are and witnessing the bountiful harvest from a field once rejected and now lovingly sown…
ACT GREAT
What is the key
What is the key
To untie the knot of your mind’s suffering?
What
Is the esoteric secret
To slay the crazed one whom each of us
Did wed
And who can ruin
Our heart’s and eye’s exquisite tender
Landscape?
Hafiz has found
Two emerald words that
Restored
Me
That I now cling to as I would sacred
Tresses of my Beloved’s
Hair:
Act great.
My dear, always act great.
What is the key
To untie the knot of the mind’s suffering?
Benevolent thought, sound
And movement.
~ Hafiz ~

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 283 – 9/25/2015
for ninety-nine days, i have gathered with another in a sacred communion to voice lovingkindness blessings for all that is… each evening we join at the threshold to offer ourselves, everything we are, to the all that is… we envision the whole cosmos joining us and experiencing our true reality of oneness and seeing each other as numinous love… on this evening of hearing about the Dalai Lama’s health, i love seeing us in this moment reciting the blessing prayed every morning by His Holiness the Dalai Lama… may our blessings of compassion be a comfort to His Holiness and to all others in moments of ebb tides…
May I be a guard for those who need protection
A guide for those on the path
A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood
May I be a lamp in the darkness
A resting place for the weary
A healing medicine for all who are sick
A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles
And for the boundless multitudes of living beings
May I bring sustenance and awakening
Enduring like the earth and sky
Until all beings are freed from sorrow
And all are awakened.
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 282 – 9/24/2015
join me in a moment of ecstasy…
This is what you should do:
Love the earth and sun and animals,
despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
stand up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants,
argue not concerning God,
have patience and indulgence toward the people…
reexamine all you have been told in school or church or in any book,
dismiss what insults your very soul,
and your flesh shall become a great poem.
~ Walt Whitman ~

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 281 – 9/23/2015
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 280 – 9/22/2015
on this day energized by being the cusp of equinox, i contemplate balance… on this highest holy day, this day of at one ment, i reap an inner harvest and appreciate a cornucopia of blessings… today i am gratitude embodied for all that is…
O Gracious Goddess of all fertility, we have sown and
reaped the fruits of our actions, good and bane.
Grant us the courage to plant seeds of joy and love in
the coming year, banishing misery and hate. Teach us and show us the secrets
of wise existence upon the planet,
O luminous one of the night!
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 279 – 9/21/2015
today we celebrate International Day of Peace, may this celebration take flight around the world with every breath, in every moment, on every day, in every dream… may we be peace now and now and now…

We call upon the earth, our planet home, with its beautiful depths and soaring heights,
its vitality and abundance of life, and together we ask that it
Teach us, and show us the Way.
We call upon the mountains, Saddle mountain and Wahkiakum mountain, the Willapa Hills, the summits of intense silence, and we ask that they:
Teach us, and show us the Way.
We call upon the waters that rim the earth, the waters of
Our great river the I-a-gayte-imas, the waters of Willapa Bay,
And all of the waters the flowing [sic] our rivers and streams, the water that falls
Upon us, and we ask that they
Teach us, and show us the Way.
We call upon the land which grows our food, the nurturing
Soil that sustains our lives, we ask that they
Teach us, and show us the Way.
We call upon the forests, the great cedar trees reaching
Strongly to the sky with earth in their roots and the heavens in their
Branches, cedar tree is the keeper of all
Knowledge, and we ask them to
Teach us, and show us the Way.
We call upon the creatures of the fields and forests and the
Seas, our brothers and sisters Lilu the Wolf, Emulak the elk,
And Mauich the Deer, Chak-cahk the Eagle, the great
Whales and the Sturgeon, and the Salmon people who share
Our Chinook waters
Teach us, and show us the Way.
We call upon all those who have lived on this earth, our
Ancestors and our friends, who dreamed the best for future
Generations, and upon whose lives our lives are built, and
With thanksgiving, we call upon them to
Teach us, and show us the Way.
And lastly, we call upon all that we hold most sacred, the
Presence and power of the Great Spirit
Which flows through all the Universe, to be with us to
Teach us, and show us the Way.

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 278 – 9/20/2015
a day of celebration of restoration, a day of walking a path of redemption as once again we make a Confluence Pilgrimage to the confluence of the rivers, Sandy and Columbia where back in 1805 when Lewis and Clark had visited they were unable to sleep due to the air filled with bird song… this lush habitation spot changed dramatically over the years with industrialization and the damming of the rivers…
with the undamming of the Sandy some 8 years ago and a confluence of so many, both collectively and individually, the Sandy River Delta, gateway to the stunningly beautiful Columbia River Gorge, is coming back to lush life…
as we wend our way down the gently curving path toward the confluence of the rivers, we sense we are being magnetically pulled to a sacred space of threshold, a portal into presence where past and future melt into present… we re-member… present moment, only moment… always being love… always becoming love… breathing in and breathing out…
