today, i venture into the unknown… I’ll be in my backyard, figuratively speaking, and traveling around the cosmos as i unplug from all things electronic and enter into the sacred space of healing ceremony… i’ll be carrying all our relations in my heart/our one heart… thank you for sharing this journey with me of being love and peace and feeling our connection to gaia even more deeply as we stand together in the center of the medicine wheel… boundless love, beloveds…
~ Rumi ~
may everywhere we are be love
a day of presence…. contemplating impermanence in our multiiverse where everything is in whirling flux… like the ocean, all is moving and transforming from wave to wave, breath to breath… like the moon, we cycle again and again through phases, always changing from moment to moment…
diving deeper into the wondering, we enter the stillpoint trusting the center will hold…. breathe into the center and surrender to great mother who cradles us like a newborn while we rock gently back and forth like the waves feeling the support of the ocean of love, home to grandmother who loves us so…
smiling that in a world that is always turning, in a world where the constant is change, always love remains…
like the waning moon, i’m feeling the transition from full on shining to gradually darkening, the transformation from breathing in deeply to letting the breath go… this beautiful moment of presence… of feeling the slowing down, of emptying, of resting, of syncing in rhythm with cosmic flow like being a tide or a wave or a cloud with nowhere to go except where i’m carried by divine flow… oh, yes, there are those moments, the questions do arise which return me to the breath knowing there i’ll realeyes, that freedom comes from letting go… freedom comes with going with the flow… turning and returning, the circle is unbroken…
today, on our first community gathering as a circle of love walking the poetic peace pilgrimage, the creative path, dancing in the now, open and present to what comes trusting in source to show us the way to always be love, i re-member…
in this moment, this beautiful moment, i re-member being in the heart chakra of gaia, sacred space of universal love…
in this moment, this beautiful moment, i re-member hearing her watersongs arising from the depths of the well…
in this moment, this beautiful moment, i am seeing her reflection in everything…
in this moment, this beautiful moment, i am smelling and tasting the sweet scent of roses…
in this moment, this beautiful moment, i am feeling love, simply love…
today’s continuation of the fullest ever birth celebration is one flowing moment in the field of the beloved seeing love everywhere… in friends’ expressions, in strangers’ conversations, in flies buzzing around the picnic, in long lines where patience reigns, in screaming children crying out in frustration, in jubilant children of all ages restored by the sound and the feel of water and wind… every moment of presence, a birth of love… all our light wave relations coming home to shore breathing in the rhythm of the river of joy below the river 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.”
—Pema Chödrön from When Things Fall Apart
i awaken in the mountains at the bottom of the sea
sunrise mists enshroud this space, the silence of eternity
breathing in, i am home for home is where the heart resides
breathing out, i dance love, flowing with the tides
standing with each other, we come together now
in this present moment, to dream of the how…
how for us all to know the world as belonging space
and for us all to feel earth mother’s flowing grace…
the mountain whispers softly, her voice emphatic and clear
love one another, hold this wisdom dear…

thanks be for this day like no other, this day coming only once… this day crystallized into one flowing moment, a moment of presence, moment of now… a moment to wade in the waters, in the ocean of devotion, to be carried away on the wings of love dwelling lightly in the heavens above… singing the true song to earth below, waiting for the light to glow…
As you can see, today’s astonishing image of light being, is a radiant field of flowers with our pilgrim of light poised in the unknown, great mystery, great mother as the sun rises on the new day, the new world with the mountain of light in the background holding the center, transporting us to the great beyond, bridging the worlds…
May we all begin anew with every awakening breath flowing in the rhythm of the cosmic hum, dreaming into being a world of one…
Namaste, beloveds…
today, Tinkerbell energy is flowing through… yes, to our all standing hand in hand in a circle of love radiating healing light all over the cosmos transmuting separation into unity, division into oneness… let’s put on a SMILE, say thank you, thank you, thank you, beam radiant love, especially to the lonely places, and respond however else we are called to serve, in infinitesimal ways to the grandest of ways, to co-create the world we all want in our core, the world of belonging where everyone’s in and no one’s left out… we have the ability to make this happen: all over the world thousands of inner and outer actions are going on in this moment, can you feel it?
thousandfold thanks to the lovely Jessica, with a smile that lights up the world, for representing us all and showing the astonishing light of her/our being… how amazing would it be for all our relations to join Jessica in shining their light across the internet beaming right through the innernet straight into the heart for this is how we transform the world… i see a peaceful, soular revolution, can you feel it?
in this moment, as breath flows into every wild cell, dream in the rhythm of the cosmic hum, awaken to the world as one…
tonight, i feel like wearing wings… first, i was going to come as Tinkerbell carrying on yesterday’s exhortation to let your light shine and then a poem floated to me calling me to ride on the wings of eagle flying into freedom…
Eagle Poem
To pray you open your whole self
To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
To one whole voice that is you.
And know there is more
That you can’t see, can’t hear
Can’t know except in moments
Steadily growing, and in languages
That aren’t always sound but other
Circles of motion.
Like eagle that Sunday morning
Over Salt River. Circles in blue sky
In wind, swept our hearts clean
With sacred wings.
We see you, see ourselves and know
That we must take the utmost care
And kindness in all things.
Breathe in, knowing we are made of
All this, and breathe, knowing
We are truly blessed because we
Were born, and die soon, within a
True circle of motion,
Like eagle rounding out the morning
Inside us.
We pray that it will be done
In beauty.
In beauty.
