Named Freely Flowing February 28 Poetic PEACE Pilgrim Jeweled Profile

i love closing out the calendar moon, as in month, with blessing the space between us… i know, i know, this is a leap year so we have one more day but i want to devote tomorrow to quantum leaping and tonight we are closing our beautiful circle with an amazingly potent blessingway nourished by the deep pilgrimage we have sauntered together… coming in joy, we trust the temenos to support us as we move ever deeper through the unknown together… holding hands in the dark, feeling the rhythmic waves of our one beating heart, we surrender our will to divine flow in the sacred space of the shadowlands and witness the birth of the new, the promise of every inbreath organically followed by the re-joy-sing of the outbreath… for in coming together in the stillpoint, the tiny space of the heart, we change everything, we are transformation dancing to the tune of canto hondo, our one soul song… be love,be loved…

Named Freely Flowing February 27 Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity

today i travel to an outer graceland for a beautiful gathering with soul family, a re-treat of tuning into the frequency of opening the heart… my first spoken words of the day in the “love is all here is” temenos are the same words spoken nine months previously when a dogstar trying to open my third eye ruptured  my second eye as well… which led to a dream of being in a temple just like the one i live in this weekend… this dream of nine months ago, of opening the door into the heart, of home being graceland, is birthed in this moment, this beautiful moment as we breathe in through our one heart and deep down into our core, inner navel of the universe, and, deeper down into our mother earth and breathe out love, sweet love into the multiverse’s harmony re-joy-sing in our coming more and more alive as we open our ever expanding cosmic heart wider and wider…

Named Freely Flowing February 25 Heart Open Swans Reflection

today’s pilgrimage is one of re-connection with source, re-storing vision to see personal and collective divinity through the practice of mantra, the vibration of universal consciousness, while contemplating loss and its transmutation with outer vision restoration activities… a day of feeling the ugly ducklingness of suffering and breathing in light and breathing out love to feel one with source, one with divine flow much like my outer injured eye feeling the irritants and bathing the suffering in flowing waters to cleanse and purify, to be the pearl of great treasure, hollow reed of divine source…

thank you journey of letting go to undam the river of flowing joy…

Named Freely Flowing February 24 Dolphin Smile

SMILE (Start My Internal Love Engine) has been and continues to be my number one practice throughout life for journeying to the True SELF (Stillness Essence Love Flow). In the last decade, I have superpowered SMILE with chanting a continuous loop of thank yous in every moment, with every breath… If you are not already practicing this empowering way, i invite you to join me in…

The Light of Smiles

I will light the match of smiles. My gloom veil will disappear. I shall behold my soul in the light of smiles hidden behind the accumulated darkness of ages. When I find myself, I shall race through all hearts with the torch of my soul-smiles. My heart will smile first, then my eyes, then my face. Every body part will shine in the light of smiles.

I will run amid the thickets of melancholy hearts and make a bonfire of all sorrows. I am the irresistible fire of smiles. I will fan myself with the breeze of God-joy and blaze my way through the darkness of all minds. My smiles will convey His smiles and whoever meets me will catch a whiff of my divine joy. I will carry fragrant, purifying torches of smiles for all hearts.

Named Freely Flowing February 23 thanks be festisite-spiral (5)i know light is returning, i feel the energy of this powerful full moon of miracles; simultaneously, i’m still feeling dormant in the dark ground of being, needing a little fertilizer for sprouting roots… so the journey today is one of gratitude, a pilgrimage to the great mother and into her temple of the watery womb where in this temenos, this sanctuary of silence, this place of spacious emptiness, i bathe in her luxuriant love, receive her sustaining support, drink in her nurture and hear her canto hondo, her deep soul song re-joy-sing me… listen and sing along with me this beautiful song flowing from P’taah… and watch as our roots sprout riotously…

Named Freely Flowing February 22 Moon Full of Miracles

an auspicious day (2/22) for the most special day of the great prayer festival, the first full moon in the tibetan new year, the day of miracles when Buddha performed one after another blessing the cosmos with overflowing illumination… hundreds of years later, pilgrims still gather together to celebrate the cosmic flow of miracles…

for all our relations

living on a tiny blue dot

circling round a ball of fire

next to a moon that moves the sea

in a cosmos overflowing with miracles, blessed be!

on this day of celebrating miracles of illumination, we devote ourselves to praying for peace… here’s one of my favorites… would love for you to share yours…

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

St Francis

Named Freely Flowing February 21 Moon Full Virgo in Pisces

this virgo full moon in pisces calls us home to our collective heart, our one radiant heart accessed in the field beyond, the field of creative imagination where everything is possible and all is well in this field of grace…

saunter with me into this magical field, this field of transformation and bathe in the purifying light of sister moon… now, raise your arms above your head with palms curled toward the moon… we are sacred chalice drawing down full moon’s power to give, to receive, to nurture, to transform, to manifest our soul song…

now, drawing our hands onto our one heart, we are one with moon goddess tuned into her service, healing and magical energies… breathe in the dark smoke encircling the cosmos holding it in sacred chalice’s circle of light, breathe it out as pure white light… breathe in the fear of wild out of control forces, breathe out the empowered strength and grace to co-create a healthy world of harmony and radiance…

seeing the cosmos bathed in divine light, transformed into love’s pure delight, bring your arms home to the sides of your body with palms facing down toward the earth and send this radiant light of our the round full moon deep into earth’s watery womb…

Named Freely Flowing February 20 Love Way

in this moment, live simply and wholeheartedly as mockingbird in a willow tree who offers her branches freely as resting space for great mystery to breathe us sacredly…

here, in this home of flow, this openhearted place of welcome, perch and listen for the hum, vibrational tune of whispering wind, spirit waves of spiraling notes… singing of love and devotion across the many splendored vast wild ocean, ground of ever changing being… always different, always the same…

in this place of deep repose, i hear invisible waters falling home, singing of a secret joy deep within, always present in the moment, listen to source and tune within to the music of the spheres, haunting melody animating all, cosmic harmony ringing out a call…

in this moment, our one heart’s a tree providing belonging space for you and for me to sing our soul song of mystery… many voices, one frequency… multiversed universiddhi…  shanti, shanti, shanti…

Named Freely Flowing February 19 re-joy-sing mockingbirds

i awaken today hearing of Nellie Harper Lee’s death which her family said was unexpected; somehow, through the invisible web connecting us all, her death was foreshadowed for me with yesterday’s cold wind blowing through, a day when i could not get warm much like a day almost five years ago when i coded with septic shock feeling my blood turn to ice… as the cold wind of death blows through once again today, i pay tribute to this archetypal story of justice, innocence, love and purity and to the penner of this story, a story that i read at eight years old, a story that resonated so deeply in me fifty-six years ago, a story still resonating in me so profoundly…

reading this book at eight years old, i am Scout, my father is Atticus, my neighbor is Boo… i, too, live in a small southern backwater town in a family devoted to social justice and i feel the pure innocence and love of a mockingbird named Boo, a wounded bird traumatized much like the people’s journeys i have shared for four plus decades in the vocation that called me from the moment of meeting Boo and before and after… i have also loved mockingbirds from that moment and desire to live simply and wholeheartedly as innocence, as spirit, as mockingbird…

so, in this moment, i am mockingbird re-joy-singer visiting the eight year, the wise one who knew she was here to sing, to sing her soul song of joy in a field of peace seeded with justice and guided by love…

thousandfold thanks for sharing this re-joy-sing journey, this pilgrimage of peace, this coming home to our one heart…
