Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true. ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson

continuing our pilgrimage with the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing under last night’s, the sixth night’s sun of earthy delight of Virgo the Virgin, Singer of the One Song deeply rooted in all children of the earth, the music of the spheres uniting us all is in many ways the quintessential honoring of our transcendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the 12 Nights of Christmas, Festival of Illumination, Feast of the Incarnation, the embodying in our trillions of cells the cosmic hum, the song of a thousand sound waves merging into one peaceful ocean…

on the sixth night of Christmas, my true love (Virgo) gave to me, a dream of… all our relations entering the portal of a new turn around the sun with a new song, a canto of love and compassion, peace and harmony, generosity and co-creation… a new earth organically regenerating herself like the Virgin Goddess, the One Self…

Holy Synchronicity! this beautiful dream of the earth and beyond, this joyful song is mirrored in outer reality as Virgo transports me through a boundless and timeless wormhole to an ebullient field, a wilder ness where our new song, our true song is shouted to rooftops dancing us all on the cosmic love wave, bringing us home to the sound of the bell, home to the heartbreath where we dwell…

so, on the fifth night of Christmas, my true love (Leo) gave to me, a dream of… overflowing radiance keeping me awakened all night long with a clear and lucid message of every moment being the guru, every moment a fractal of the whole and very special visits from friends of long standing, friends i’ve been missing in physical form… the fiery orb in the sky and a human form like an elixir of the sun, a friend who introduced me to sungazing, a practice i had actually been doing most of my life… yes, i’ve been involved in a love affair with the sun forever…

now, i’m curious as to what Leo is gifting you… do you, also, feel our one heart opening and expanding radiantly in this moment, this beautiful moment?

You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.

~ Rumi ~

our special pilgrimage with the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing honoring our transcendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the 12 nights of Christmas delivers the quintessential dream gift under last night’s,our 3rd night’s sun of the airy light of Gemini who flies in as dragonfly, guardian and keeper of dreamtime, piercing through the mists of illusion to enlighten…

this iridescent dancer of rainbow light came calling in the wee hours with a clear message about awakening to and weaving the radiant light we are into the mystery of the moment, the sacred space we breathe into every moment… join with me now in taking flight on the wings of dragonfly, creative imagination…

breathe in, breathe out through our one heart connecting deeply with the divine, dancing, diamond light always sparkling in the center of being… as you see the angelic presence of dragonfly dancing toward you, meet and merge becoming one with luminescent, shimmering light… now, dream your song of creation while the shadows of illusion dissolve into thin air… breathe in deeply the heart of creation, drink in the overflowing love and compassion, feel dragonfly blessing us all with rainbow magic of peace and harmony…

may we all answer the call to dance with the light…

on the second night of Christmas, my true love (Taurus) gave to me, a dream of… a soul song about falling deep down into the earth, a new song of the earth being sung by the underground root system run riot as grandmother spider spins the web of life of all our relations and white buffalo calf woman moves the web of life aboveground  with prayers of abundance inspiring sacred herds of buffalo to once again dance across the plains organically nourishing the earth as they empty themselves to replenish the soil…

may we all  recognize and honor the sacredness of every life walk and connect in deeper ways to life’s meaning and the values of peace, love, joy and harmony…

thousandfold thanks, great spirit, for whispering this song of the earth of our being…

on the first night of Christmas, my true love (Beloved Aries) gave to me…

a rainbow halo around the sun

bringing joy and peace to everyone

open hearts now re-joy-sing spontaneously

awakening our light song at celestial frequency

 we soar on love’s sunbeams  in wild ecstasy

~

Beloved also gifted me with the lyrics to Ode to Joy, a Beautyway of Synchrony…

Joyful, joyful
We adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day…

on the eve of the feast of the incarnation, i flew around the cosmos painting peace, love and joy in the sky; today on this magical day of presence, we land on the sands of the great salt lake and embed our astonishing light of being intentions for this moment, for every moment being a feast, a celebration of joy, love and peace…

on these twelve nights of the 12 Days of Christmas, i invite you to join me on a special pilgrimage, the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing, honoring our transcendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the next 12 nights to the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas…

so, you get the idea? each night our dream will be a gift from the sun signs, the light, guiding us, mapping the route along the rainbow trail as we re-member and re-birth more and more of whom we really and truly are…

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.

today, the picture tells the story of those days of unraveling, when we’re falling apart faster than we can put ourselves back together, when we’re on the brink of a new world… will we have the courage to answer the call to leap into the void, the unknown, the uncertain, the road less traveled?

yes, Yes, YES! we are made for these days, for these momentous moments, for being the openhearted courage we choose to be in the world…

godspeed and safe passage…

on awakening today to the return of light, i savor standing still with the sun, an eternal moment of softening, surrendering to love, shedding outgrown skins, letting go into grace, re-membering my many times daily mantra of the past 13 moons…

“To be whole, let yourself break.
To be straight, let yourself bend.
To be full, let yourself be empty.
To be new, let yourself wear out.
To have everything, give everything up.

Knowing others is a kind of knowledge;
knowing yourself is wisdom.

Conquering others requires strength;
conquering yourself is true power. “

Lao Tzu

yes, today is a day of celebrating grace by letting go, dropping into simplicity, tuning into the cosmic hum, listening to great silence singing us home, welcoming us to the star within, star of onederfield, heaven on earth… sacred space of radiant re-birth… breathing in and breathing out, we ride the wave of rainbow light through the shadows of the night to our home, this moment of delight…
