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 ~

If you wish to become a pilgrim
Treading the path of love,
you must first find great humility and
become nothing more than dust and ashes.
~ Rumi ~
as we pilgrims of love bid farewell to and celebrate this last turn of the sun emptying of all that was, we continue our merry pilgrimage with the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing under last night’s sign, the sixth night’s sun of the earthy delight of Virgo the Virgin, Singer of the One Song deeply rooted in all children of the earth and the music of the spheres uniting us all into 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…
so, on the sixth night of Christmas, my true love (Beloved 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, this joyful song of the earth is mirrored in outer reality as Virgo herself transports me through the portal to an ebullient field, a wilder ness of enchantment where our new song, our true song is shouted to the rooftops dancing us all on the cosmic wave of love ringing us home to the sound of the bell, home to the heart where we dwell…
thousandfold thanks for this day of being in sangha singing light in darkness as we witness new horizons circling ultima thule 4,000,000,000 miles away from earth…

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 ~

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 hummingbird, 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 hummingbird dancing toward you, meet and merge becoming one with luminescent, shimmering light… now, dream your song of creation, a beautiful world where all relatives are respected and living in sacred reciprocity… breathe in deeply this heart of creation, drink in the overflowing love and compassion, feel hummingbird blessing us all with rainbow magic of peace and harmony…
may we all answer the call to dance as light waves…

on the second night of Christmas, my true love (Beloved Taurus) gave to me, a dream of… 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… and the earth begins to sing the new song of the earth… of all beings of the earth vibrating at one frequency of love re-joy-sing in being harmony and in rhythm with divine flow…

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 6 – Day 9 – 12/25/2018
on the eve of the feast of the incarnation, i flew around the cosmos painting peace, love and joy in the skysea; 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…
i’m trusting today has been a day of taking joy for you on yet another feast day celebrating the light, a magical moment when the portal is open for our re-membering who we are… radiant suns of of our one cosmic heart…
on these twelve nights of the 12 Days of Christmas, i invite you to join me once again for our annual 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…
on the first night of Christmas, my true love (Aries) gave to me, a dream of… on the second night of Christmas, my true love (Taurus) gave to me, a dream of… on the third night of Christmas, my true love (Gemini) gave to me, a dream of… on the fourth night of Christmas, my true love (Cancer) gave to me, a dream of…
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.

thank you, thank you, thank you for this moment of grace, this day of pause, this season of dancing in stillness, merging the opposites into a seamless tapestry, a kaleidoscope of rainbow colored images of the many and the one…
dolphin dancing and leaping like waves flowing in the ocean… pulled by love out of my safe cove into the wider ocean of wonder, beauty, grace… i love this journey unfolding in such a mysterious, serendipitous, synchronistic way…
how i love this annual magical ride pulled by shamanic horses of the heart and skysea, our ever present dolphin guides who love taking us into the ocean depths and space heights where we feel the magnetic energy of the still full moon in Cancer on this day that hums to the tune of presence and calls us to listen and attune to the cosmic frequency calling us home, home to the heart…
let us venture now to the river of joy below the river through that well worn wormhole, the rabbit hole, and encounter a communion of ancestors, so many members of the village impacting our destiny so profoundly… yes, today’s holi day journey is an ancestor blessingway overflowing with real eyes vision, realeyezations flowing from our sister moon about the new world we are breathing in where all our children are smiling in delight as we grow into a communal culture of light turned on by soular power to be our highest and deepest purpose… to fly on the wings of love and to ground ourselves into the roots of belonging always being love, joy, peace and harmony…
breathe in this magical moment, this moment of wonder from our earth mother through our one heart and out to sky father who whispers it back to the great mother who breathes us again and the seamless cycle of return flows infinitely through the beyond…
one breath, one moment, one step of always being love…

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 6 – Day 7 – 12/23/2018
“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
~ Rumi ~Was a full moon in Cancer under the Capricorn sun whispering directly into Rumi’s soul when he wrote these words? As we breathe into and draw down the energy of this powerful full moon, we, too, are called to be in touch with our most deeply held values and walk our truth talk… YES! Sing leaping off the cliff, being wild and free, mad as in intoxicated on love… YES! Sing this abandon is what i’ll do with my wild and precious life… YES! Sing to coming home, coming home to the heart, true refuge, belonging place… YES Sing to the full moon in Cancer – may we all answer her call walking wholeheartedly in love in this moment, every moment…
on this third day of celebrating soulstice, of standing still with the sun, of celebrating the return of the light, join me at stonehenge, a sacred space in the heart chakra of pachamama of celebrating high holy days…
what a great inward journey we’ve been on these last few weeks and now we arrive home in the first soular gateway to plant seeds of intention, seeds that will ripen and birth our truth…
let’s take this moment of sacred pause to breathe together… get comfortable, breathe naturally and with each inhale, inspire your strengths, your beauty, your couragge and your wisdom…
now, place your hnds on your heart wombspace, your belly, the core of our being breathing these qualities, these virtues, these gifts, these presents, this presence deeply in to every wild cell in your body while listening for the echos reverberating from the deeps…
as we listen, let’s begin spiral dancing down, down, down into a field of snow where we can see stonehenge ahead through the mists and a gathering of we-moon from across the cosmos to celebrate light… feel your ancestors here and all of us energetically holding hands and feeling the divine light of love passing from one to another to another…
oh, she who births the light under the cosmic full moon of the divine feminine, teach us and show us the way to birth our truth…
as we pause and listen, release all to pachamama surrendering and softening into gaia, earth mother…
notice now the first light beginning to appear over the stones warming our hearts and seeding what we are to birth…
thank you great mother, we bless and honor you…
namaste, dear beloveds…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 6 – Day 6 – 12/22/2018
a day of bathing in divine feminine energy radiating from our last full moon of the year… while our sun stands still, this moon dreams in the rhythm of the waves igniting our one tender heart into a blazing bonfire warming the stone cold…
it’s cold and rainy in my hood, so perfect to gather with sangha all over the planet, wave after wave of songs of lovingkindness as hundreds of thousands chant metta in unison, a wave of tsunami proportions streaming compassion across and over and through the cosmos…
may we be filled with lovingkindness
may we be well
may we be peaceful and at ease
may we be happy…
