i take joy with you, re-joy-sing in this oft-quoted salutation from Fra Giovanni in 1513…

I salute you.

There is nothing I can give you which you have not,
but there is much that while I cannot give,
you can take.

No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today.
Take heaven.

No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present instant.
Take peace.

The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy.
Take joy.

And so at this Christmastime,
I greet you, with the prayer
that for you,
now and forever,
the day breaks
and the shadows
flee away.

what a magical ride today pulled by horses of the heart and sea, our ever present dolphin guides who love taking us into the ocean depths where we feel the magnetic, magical energy of the full moon in Cancer on this day that hums at 44, a master number and calls us to listen and attune to the cosmic frequency calling us home, home to the heart…

we venture to the river below through that well worn wormhole, the rabbit hole, and encounter a communion of ancestors, so many members of the village impacting our destiny so profoundly… yes, today’s holi day journey is an ancestor blessingway overflowing with real eyes vision, realeyezations flowing from our sister moon about the new world we are breathing in where all our children are smiling in delight as we grow into a communal culture of light turned on by soular power to be our highest and deepest purpose… to fly on the wings of love and to ground ourselves into the roots of belonging always being love, joy, peace and harmony…

breathe in this magical moment, this moment of wonder from our earth mother through our one heart and out to sky father who whispers it back to the great mother who breathes us again  and the seamless cycle of return  flows infinitely through the beyond…

one breath, one moment, one step of always being love and peace…

Named Divine December 23 Rumi Intoxication

“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
~ Rumi ~

Was a full moon in Cancer under the Capricorn sun whispering directly into Rumi’s soul? As we breathe into and draw down the energy of this powerful full moon on Christmas, we, too, are called to be in touch with our most deeply held values and walk our truth talk… YES Sing leaping off the cliff, being wild and free, mad as in intoxicated on love… YES Sing to this abandon is what i’ll do with my wild and precious life… YES Sing to coming home, coming home to the heart, true refuge, belonging place… YES Sing to the moon in Cancer waxing full – may we all answer her call and walk wholeheartedly in love in this moment, every moment…

Named Divine December 21 Soulstice

on this shortest day and longest night for northern hemispherians, i sit in the dark with Hecate, goddess of the darkness, holding my hand and heart as we take this soulstice moment of deep pause for re-membering and clean-sing and re-joy-sing the moons of 2015… seeing through shero’s eyes, we realeyes what we experienced as disappointments, obstacles, challenges all carry a seed, a gift for us to unwrap,,, a present that delights and surprises pointing the way to be peace, love, joy and harmony…

To the Four Winds and the Four Corners of the Earth

To the Falling Rain and the Fire in the Sky

I call on you in Deep Respect and with Great Gratitude. 

I call upon you to Support, Guide and Protect
all who receive this prayer. 

At this time of quiet and stillness

When the Light of the World is dim

And the Darkness around us deep

May we be still and listen for the silent sound of the
seed of Illumination

That lives, always, within our heart and soul and mind. 

May we seek now to awaken to more of the Light within. 

For in the dark even the dimmest light can be seen. 

In darkness, the faintest flicker of light 

Is enough to guide us and show us the way. 

May the inner light we now rekindle burn strong and bright. 

May it expand and grow throughout the coming year

And may we continue to see, feel, share and
shine our inner light 

Into the World

Even as the outer light returns. 

And so it is! 

~
