for today’s weekly edition of showing you the astonishing light of your being, here you are in humble glory… the divine feminine, the madonna, our lady of guadalupe, patron saint of the americas, inspirer of the most pilgrimages – who doesn’t desire being blessed with a miracle?

~ A Blessing ~

Let us dwell within the Cathedral of Her Heart.
Let us keep choosing to be love no matter what.
Let us see what is called forth from our deepest longings.
Let us listen to the messages rising up from the resilient soul.
Let us rest into beauty so that we may be encouraged.
Let us tend this sacred planet as if we are her children.
Let us honor one another so that we may learn how this goes.
Let us be strong enough to stand for what we believe.
Let us allow our full colors to be expressed in our lives.
Amen. Thank you. Amen.

Shiloh Sophia

dear pilgrims standing in love for love…

“It has been my observation that the happiest of people, the vibrant doers of the world, are almost always those who are using — who are putting into play, calling upon, depending upon the greatest number of their God-given talents and capabilities.”  ~John Glenn

All the Hemisphers — Hafiz (In memory of John Glenn, 1921 – 2016, who circled and circles the earth seeing the world as one)

Leave the familiar for a while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch out

Like a welcomed season
Onto the meadows and shores and hills.

Open up to the Roof.
Make a new water-mark on your excitement
And love.

Like a blooming night flower,
Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
And giving
Upon our intimate assembly.

Change rooms in your mind for a day.

All the hemispheres in existence
Lie beside an equator
In your heart.

Greet Yourself
In your thousand other forms
As you mount the hidden tide and travel
Back home.

All the hemispheres in heaven
Are sitting around a fire
Chatting

While stitching themselves together
Into the Great Circle inside of
You.

may our one heart always be open to little
birds who sing the secrets of living in each and every moment…

seven nights ago i re-turned from a profound outer journey to embark upon an inner journey mirroring the outer one with both pilgrimages sharing the energy of timelessness, both feeling at once like the blink of an eye and an eternity… this living in the here now/nowhere is truly magical = transformed consciousness = being the change = flowing in beauty wherever we are…

thousandfold thanks to all the little birds, co-hearts walking the path home together, sharing love and compassion, earth and star presence along the rainbow trail…

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 3/3 Years – Day 358/1088 – 12/08/2016

<> on December 8, 2015 in New York City.

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-six years ago… thousandfold thanks, dear poet rebel with a cause… thousandfold thanks, cosmic ambassador of peace…

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

on this day of re-membering the seventy-fifth anniversary of Pearl Harbor, the waxing half moon and a day of hearing alienation noise from the shadow frequency, we are reminded especially with the approaching holydays how important it is to welcome the stranger and offer them warmth…

for 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….

our earth mother’s heartbeat echoes 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…

may we all welcome the stranger and offer them warmth speaking the words below as one unified voice, as one bridge of reconciliation encircling the cosmos…

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

still in the glow of an energy of slo-mo, of stopping the world to meet each moment fully wanting to stay nestled in my downy nest, there is only one thing that would call me out into the snowy rain this morning – a Haiku Alive! adventure with an exuberant group of young souls eager to metaphorically travel across the pacific ocean bridge to the land of the rising sun immersing ourselves in the senses for an extraordinary experience of living in harmony with nature, our true nature…

rain splishing, splashing

silence and thunder crashing

we come home to peace

what a great way to start off the day…

named-descending-december-4-astonishing-light-of-being-12-4-16-chiefarvollookinghorse

for this week’s astonishing light of being portrayal, listen to this important message from the keeper of the sacred white buffalo calf pipe…

I, Chief Arvol Looking Horse, of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota Nations, ask you to understand an Indigenous perspective on what has happened in America, what we call “Turtle Island.” My words seek to unite the global community through a message from our sacred ceremonies to unite spiritually, each in our ways of beliefs in the Creator.

We have been warned from ancient prophecies of these times we live in today, but have also been given a vital message about a solution to turn these terrible times.

To understand the depth of this message, you must recognize the importance of Sacred Sites and realize the interconnectedness of what is happening today, in the reflection of the continued massacres that are occurring on other lands and our own Americas.

I have been learning about these important issues since the age of 12 when I received the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe Bundle and its teachings. Our people have strived to protect Sacred Sites from the beginning of time. These places have been violated for centuries and have brought us to the predicament that we are in at the global level.

Look around you. Our Mother Earth is very ill from these violations, and we are on the brink of destroying the possibility of a healthy and nurturing survival for generations to come, our children’s children.

Our ancestors have been trying to protect our Sacred Site called the Sacred Black Hills of South Dakota, “Heart of Everything That Is,” from continued violations. Our ancestors never saw a satellite view of this site, but now that those pictures are available, we see that it is in the shape of a heart and, when fast-forwarded, it looks like a heart pumping.

The Diné have been protecting Big Mountain, calling it the liver of the earth, and we are suffering and going to suffer more from the extraction of the coal there and the poisoning processes used in doing so.

The Aborigines have warned of the contaminating effects of global warming on the Coral Reefs, which they see as Mother Earth’s blood purifier.

The indigenous people of the rainforest say that the rainforests are the lungs of the planet and need protection.

The Gwich’in Nation in Alaska has had to face oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge coastal plain, also known to the Gwich’in as “Where life begins.”

The coastal plain is the birthplace of many life forms of the animal nations. The death of these animal nations will destroy indigenous nations in this territory.

As these destructive developments continue all over the world, we will witness much more extinct animal, plant, and human nations, because of humankind’s misuse of power and their lack of understanding of the “balance of life.”

The Indigenous people warn that these negative developments will cause havoc globally. There are many, many more original teachings and knowledge about Mother Earth’s Sacred Sites, her chakras, and connections to our spirit that will surely affect our future generations.

There needs to be a fast move toward other forms of energy that are safe for all Nations upon Mother Earth. We need to understand the types of minds that are continuing to destroy the spirit of our whole global community. Unless we do this, the powers of destruction will overwhelm us.

Our Ancestors foretold that water would someday be for sale. This Prophecy was hard to believe! The water was plentiful, pure,  full of energy, nutrition, and spirit. Today we have to buy clean water, and even then the nutritional minerals have been taken out; it’s just clear liquid. Someday water will be like gold, too expensive to afford.

Not everyone will have the right to drink safe water. We fail to appreciate and honor our Sacred Sites, ripping out the minerals and gifts that lay underneath them as if Mother Earth were simply a resource, instead of the source of life itself.

Attacking nations and using more resources to carry out destruction in the name of peace is not the answer! We need to understand how all these decisions affect the global nation; we will not be immune to its repercussions. Allowing continual contamination of our food and land is affecting the way we think.

A “disease of the mind” has set in world leaders and many members of our global community, with their belief that a solution of retaliation and destruction of peoples will bring peace.

In our Prophecies it is told that we are now at the crossroads: Either unites spiritually as a global nation or faced with chaos, disasters, diseases, and tears from our relatives’ eyes.

We are the only species that is destroying the source of life, meaning Mother Earth, in the name of power, mineral resources, and ownership of land. Using chemicals and methods of warfare that are doing irreversible damage, as Mother Earth is becoming tired and cannot sustain any more impacts of war.

I ask you to join me in this endeavor. Our vision is for the peoples of all continents, regardless of their beliefs in the Creator, to come together as one at their Sacred Sites to pray and meditate and commune with one another, thus promoting an energy shift to heal our Mother Earth and achieve a universal consciousness toward attaining Peace.

As each day passes, I ask all nations to begin a global effort and remember to give thanks for the pure food that has been gifted to us by our Mother Earth, so the nutritional energy of medicine can be guided to heal our minds and spirits.

This new millennium will usher in an age of harmony, or it will bring the end of life as we know it. Starvation, war, and toxic waste have been the hallmark of the vast myth of progress and development that ruled the last millennium.

To us, as caretakers of the heart of Mother Earth falls the responsibility of turning back the powers of destruction. You are the one who must decide.

You alone – and only you – can make this crucial choice, to walk in honor or to dishonor your relatives. On your decision depends the fate of the entire World.

Each of us is put here in this time and this place to personally decide the future of humankind.

Did you think the Creator would create unnecessary people in a time of such terrible danger?

Know that you are essential to this world. Understand both the blessing and the burden of that. You are desperately needed to save the soul of this world. Did you think you were put here for something less? In a Sacred Hoop of Life, there is no beginning and no ending.

dear ones, i have been traveling back and forth across the countryside for the past eleven days/eleven lifetimes on a listening tour and although unconnected to the internet and unable to post, the innernet connection guides infallibly even, especially, in these times of uncertainty…

so, i’ve been wandering in wonder, moving through turbulence, traveling in concert with the rains, watching the gentle rainfalls soften the landscapes of hard baked earth…

giving us the gift of digging deeper and deeper into the soil/soul of our true nature… stilling the noise to feel the pulse of our essence, the heartbeat of love always flowing inside radiating outward in ever-widening circles…

as the outer momentous day was breaking so, too, was the inner momentous 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, as simply as i have on this thanksgiving pilgrimage in the water eye with my soul friend and a little jingle arises in me in sync with the rising 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.

~

today, i’ll be leaving this home to fly through the skies saying thank you, thank you, thank you for this moment, this beautiful moment of deepening into great mystery and dancing in the stillpoint eternally where rainbows color the landscapes and skies and as one, we arise greeting each other with smiling fire eyes….
