Named Freely Flowing 7 Pachamama, Sage of Beautyway

a day of silencio and stillness, a day of feeling the kindness of rhythm on the pilgrimage…. a day of hearing the cries of the world rising in frequency and intensity, a day of feeling the quickening of collective birth pangs, a day of gathering with midwives to co-llaborate on empowering space for dreams, encouraging strength to take one more step, celebrating the new song gestating, trusting in the call of soul…

and, so, i turn to kuan yin, goddess of compassion, protector of women, children, sailors, fishermen, anyone in trouble, and the sick, disabled, and poor… she who walks the boddhisattva path foregoing enlightenment until all sentient beings are liberated and free from suffering…

according to legend, kwan yin tried so strenuously to alleviate the suffering of all beings that her head split into eleven pieces… buddha awarded her eleven heads with which to hear the cries of the world and when she heard all the cries and reached out to address the needs of so many, her two arms shattered… now, buddha gives her a thousand arms to offer her compassion to all…

may our one heart remain always open being lovingkindness to all and may we all reside in the peace passing all understanding real-i-sing the beauty of our true nature of joy…

Named Freely Flowing 5 Sanctuary Everywhere NHPhoto_LoveHate_Arnie

when we live love’s frequency,

we all flow in harmony…

~

what a beautyway to walk everyday and especially apropos during this week celebrating world harmony…

 in these days, can we have too many reminders of all the lovingkindness occurring on the planet? far too often,  media inundates us with the old stories of fear and scarcity, when, in truth, every moment there are more acts of compassion with the groundswell moveing more and more in that direction towards the arc of justice…

#SanctuaryEverywhere is the simple idea of the American Friends Service Committee that everyday people can come together to keep each other safe and that draws on the many traditions of peoples’ movements protecting targeted communities, like the Underground Railroad during slavery, Kindertransport during the Holocaust, the protection of conscientious objectors during the Vietnam War, the Sanctuary Movement in the 1980s and in more recent years, #NotOneMore, which has sheltered numerous undocumented immigrants from deportation…

thousand fold thanks for all the countless ways we are being beloved community, we are coming together to stand in love for love together, to form a bridge of sheltering arms providing true refuge for the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to be free, the dreamers, the strangers both inner and outer, all our neighbors, all are relatives …

Named Freely Flowing 4

welcome to this week’s installment of sharing the astonishing light of being…

it is said it only takes 144,000 sentient beings to hear the call and turn toward el canto hondo, the deep soul song, the dream of the earth to establish a new paradigm of reality singing in the frequency of harmony throughout the ocean of being…

how i love meeting you in this field of what we deeply value, this sacred space of interconnectedness…

here, we witness and celebrate this collective hearing and following the call to come back home to spirit, to dissolve into spirit, to be so at one with spirit that all borders vanish… we are present as love, the animating energy of all that is, the saving grace that simply opens the door to love… trusting that in this surrendering, this softening, this turning toward pachamama, the unifying spirit breathing all our relatives alive, we are transported to the stillpoint, the place of creation where the dance of the new begins…

today is one more day of hearing and following the call to come back home to spirit, to dissolve and be so at one with spirit that all borders vanish between me and thee… we come in gratitude and offer up our pains and suffering to be used as compost to nourish the earth… we come as love, the animating energy of all that is and knock on the door of feeling like death asking this door to open to love, simply open… in this trusting, this surrendering, this turning we are transported to the stillpoint where the dance begins, yes, we’re coming back…

Named Freely Flowing 3 Wendell Berry I have been led.

thank you, fellow poet farmer, Wendell Berry, more than ever these words echo so resonantly deep within, in that sacred space of inner knowing of true reality, of true nature…. with every step , all our relations are being led to being instruments of peace in a cosmic symphony of harmony…. hear the hum?

fifty-seven years ago, this was a happy day in my family of origin with the birth of a divine child;, one year ago, it was a sad day with the death of a divine child and the opening of  the portal into the dark valley with the sense of being held in the web of life…

yes, today is a day of honoring and celebration on the pilgrimage… feeling the shift into heart consciousness that’s been so quietly forming, feeling it so poignantly in this moment… a day of dancing with the energies of life celebrating the ebb and flow that lead us through the streams of oceanic deeps…

Named Freely Flowing 2 Imbolc

On Imbolc (In the Belly) also known as St Brigid’s Day, Groundhog Day and Candlemas, we celebrate a day of pausing before walking through a door into the new, into the uncharted, the unknown… a moment to give attention and intention to what we choose to give our life energy to for all our relations…

i choose to be loving presence and to open the doors of our one heart wider to the ocean of compassion, moving from resistance to rezestance where we’re filled to overflowinging with this freely flowing moon of omens and oracles heralding regenerativity which spirals us full circle to the little groundhog who sees his shadow portending more winter…

however, our friendly hedgehogs have a different experience portending spring around the corner… it all comes down to how you look at things, doesn’t it? we all have the ability to look at things differently, to see the world as it is… oceanic oneness flooding our being with the preciousness of this wild and wonderful world and life…

as we celebrate midwinter in the northern hemisphere on  this day midway between winter soulstice and spring equinox, feel the goddess returning as goddess of the hearth with sacred flame here to warm our one heart again…

~

on this gray day of midwinter

the cold has begun to fade

and the days grow longer

a time when earth is quickening

birthing the fire after darkness

now, goddess of the hearth returns with eternal flame

and as earth grows full of life, blessings resound…

may we all celebrate the abundance of new life

and the cascading prosperity of cosmic flow

as light and love  illuminate our path of heart

and return us to our home…

~

synchronistically, this day, 2-2-2018 vibrates at a frequency of transformation, a turning of the wheel with the cycles of life onto another level, a consciousness driven by divine will of lovingkindness and compassion, a consciousness of the heart…  welcome home!

Named Freely Flowing 1 Traveling 001

welcome freely flowing february and the new beginning you bring… a moment, a day, a moon, a year to begin anew and call in the spirits asking to be presented with doors that open as wide as our heart to our new path of discovery, of awakening unfolding along the road less traveled… a road inviting our wholehearted presence, our wholebeing essence, our complete trust, our suspending doubt when in places unknown and in uncertain circumstances, our letting go of any and every thing no longer working to open the space for spirit to freely flow…

we honor our new beginning still under the glow of the cosmic moon of transformation and celestial synchronicity with our soul’s intention for change… in our new life, we commit our energy to… peace, love and joy trusting in beloved to carry us across the wild deep blue sea to a shore we cannot see, trusting beloved to carry us into the true refuge of great mystery…

in this moment of new beginning, will you join me in dreaming into now a just world of love and peace?  thousandfold thanks…

my soul honors your soul. i honor the place in you where the infinite resides. i honor the light, love, truth, beauty, joy and peace within you…

namaste, divine beloveds…
