Named Divine December 10 Sojourner Truth

Welcome, New Moon in Sagittarius! Who better to introduce this moon calling us to truth speak than the woman born into slavery in 1797 who liberated herself and her daughter and became known far and wide as an abolitionist and women’s rights activist. Giving herself the name, Sojourner Truth, she undoubtedly heard the call of the Archer to seek and speak the truth. This new moon blesses us with slowing down and gathering strength to make choices of integrity aligned with inner authority…

Now, is the moment to stand in our truth, to plant new seeds of energy carrying intentions around our deeply held values, beliefs and truths… At this moon, we are challenged to hear the call as did Sojourner Truth and walk our talk along the freedom road living out our destiny here in preparation to return home like a shooting star…

I’d love to hear about the seeds you’ll be planting in our unitive field… Here are a few of mine… Awe, Blessings, Bliss, Compassion, Creativity Emptiness, Flow, Grace, Generosity, Humility, Imagination, Joy, Love, and Peace…

May we all feel the shining light in the depths of darkness and dance in its splendor

Named Divine December 9 Kaua'i 11-28-14 028+

live simply in the tiny space of our one heart

slow down, be still in the center of the cosmic wheel…

see through the eyes of our one heart, everything is sacred

we are one web of gossamer threads, a body of shimmering light

we have only this moment, this beautiful moment, now, breathe in pure delight

 ~

the rains have returned to the pacific northwest calling us home as rivers flood and land slides and roads open to the underworld… may we seize this moment finding shelter on higher and deeper ground to bless this space between us…

namaste

Named Divine December 8 Imagine

all day i am imagining…everyone living in the moment… letting it be… looking from our real eyes and realizing we are one…. all our relations living in peace… all of us dreaming the same dream into reality… sharing the world freely and generously… knowing no one is free, happy, healthy until we all are…

what a legacy! how fully you served in your four short decades on this planet before being cut down so abruptly thirty-five years ago… thousandfold thanks, dear poet rebel with a cause… thousandfold thanks, cosmic ambassador of peace… like you…

may we all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun…

Named Divine December 7 refugee river

today, i re-member, is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, the second night of Hanukkah and a day of hearing noise from the shadow frequency reminding me how important it is for all of us to welcome the stranger and offer them warmth… when we re-member the stranger within and befriend our inner refugee who desires what we all desire, a sanctuary to call home, when we open ourselves to the unknown inside of ourselves, we naturally radiate outward this open heartedness to all our relations…. may we all welcome the stranger and offer them warmth…

the refugee within me bows to the refugee within all our relations

namaste

Named Divine December 6 Earth Mother's Call

our mother’s heartbeat is echoing through all our relations… feel the momentum building as more and more of us hear her call to rise up and stand together as one large orchestra playing a seamless symphony and re-joy-sing in the harmony we embody as a beautiful wave now encircling the cosmos – peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… namaste…

Named Divine December 5 Divine Light Invocation

On This Day of Opening

open my eyes so i may vision

open my ears so i may listen

open my voice so i may rejoice

open my heart so i may know

~

after a long labor, today, we celebrate divine delivery, birthing and invoking the medicine, the power and glory of divine light… the wrestling with leaving the known, the warm, watery womb to swim down a narrow cold channel arriving in a space unknown, transmutes into resting and re-joy-sing in birthing anew…

thousandfold thanks, thousandfold offerings of light, by a thousandfold light flow ers, thousandfold re-joy-sings of the divine radiance we are…

namaste, dearest divine beloveds…

Named Divine December 4 SHERO Journey to SELF Transportation

today is such a day as has been every day for the last six moons when, quite literally and in all (other) ways, a leap of faith is my only transportation and holy synchronicity! grandmother spider, exactly one year later you have woven me into the web in a similar state of suspension… poised in the eternal quest ion – to be or not to be… blessings, beloveds, for safe passage on the deep sea journey…

awakening tears

greet this moment of mourning

breathe in and breathe out

~

suspended motion

in still wave’s sacred center

breathe in and breathe out

~

walking through shadows

surrendering to unknown

breathe in and breathe out

~

enter mystery

trusting everything is grace

breathe in and breathe out

~

a wing, a prayer

carrying us  all to there

breathe in and breathe out

~

light, radiant light

at the end of each dark night

breathe in and breathe out

~

we are home sweet home

welcome to the other shore

breathe in and breathe out

~

Named Divine December 3 Awakening with Sun Simplicity

as the outer day was breaking so, too, was the inner day with a dream of my golden retriever bounding wildly through the front door in all his joyous puppy dog energy, yes, riever had come home after being away for 33 years, he had come home to the heart and i re-member our long swims in the sea and wandering in wonder on the beach and my longing to live as simply as he,,, and a little jingle arose in me with the rising of the outer sun…

live simply, live free, live in open, spacious reality

die to the old, birth in the new

enter the cave of dreaming womb, transmuting seed into radiant bloom

flowering now in a garden of delight, greeting this day of joyous light

~

i so love being reunited with my retriever of gold and his gift of a golden key of life – to live simply, to live free, to live in open, spacious reality – has been re-joy-sing me all day long and now i re-member an old shaker song arising from the same open source…

‘Tis the gift to be simple,
’tis the gift to be free,
’tis the gift to come down
where we ought to be,
and when we find ourselves in the place just right,
’twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained
to bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed,
to turn, turn, will be our delight
till by turning, turning we come round right.

Named Divine December 2 Tenderness

on a day such as this with our one heart breaking, may we all come together in this moment to tune into tenderness pouring it generously and liberally on ourselves and each other… may we open in this moment to the deep silence of peace, a peace that passeth all rational understanding transporting us to a field beyond words where we dwell in the sacred space of our one heart… in this communion, this unitive field, we breathe in the world we are becoming… a cosmos that meets wounding and suffering with healing balms and salves of tenderness and lovingkindness… deep bow to all our relations… thousandfold thanks…

Named Divine December 1 Blessing Tahoma Equinox 2014 009+

quietly forming in the background, the divine december moon is here… today we breathe in a new world as we walk on new ground trusting the waning wise woman half moon to open the way…

sixty years ago today, Rosa Parks, an adventurous, rebellious spirit held nothing back when she refused to move to the back of the bus, an action which galvanized a yearlong community boycott and ushered in a new chapter on the freedom road…

courageously asserting and honoring all peoples’ inalienable rights, Rosa was not the first to be arrested on a bus nor was it her first act of resistance against second-class citizenship; Rosa symbolized the black community’s refusal to be pushed around. Her aim was both local and global – to end all oppression. 382 days later, Montgomery buses were integrated and a young Baptist minister, Martin Luther King, Jr would emerge as the leader of the civil rights movement inspiring us to keep moving forward…
