for the past 1513 days, i have gathered daily with another in a sacred communion to invoke lovingkindness blessings for all our relatives… each evening we join to offer ourselves, everything we are, to the all that is… we envision the whole cosmos joining us and experiencing our true reality of oneness and numinous love… i love also seeing us joining in this blessing prayed every morning by the Dalai Lama…

~

May I be a guard for those who need protection

A guide for those on the path

A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood

May I be a lamp in the darkness

A resting place for the weary

A healing medicine for all who are sick

A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles

And for the boundless multitudes of living beings

May I bring sustenance and awakening

Enduring like the earth and sky

Until all beings are freed from sorrow

And all are awakened.

~

may we all imagine and may we all be the frequency of peace, love, joy, wisdom, harmony, justice and compassion…

today has been a long day working with a computer guru and my toasted computer trying to retrieve so much of my work over the last decade but seems to be irretrievable… thank you so much for your support and encouragement during this challenging and gifting time – i love knowing we are always connected whether electronic devices are functional or not…

boundless love always, beloveds

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 6 – Day 246 – 8/19/2019

I live my life in widening circles

that reach out across the world.

I may never complete this last one,

but I give myself to it.

I circle around God, that primordial tower.

I’ve been circling for thousands of years

and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,

a storm, or a great song?

~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

~

today, i stand still in the center of the wheel communing with source about immortality which brings peace understanding it is the moment to break free and live in ever widening circles of co-rrelation…

whew! what a very interesting moment we are in as we circle around what is and who we are in ever widening circles demonstrating that we, like the cosmos, are ever expanding and deepening and we have it in us to face into the pain, the suffering, the despair of a world of uncertainty putting love into every action…

yes, today’s the day to stop the world, to stand still in the center and listen to all the messages of the whirling winds…

always return to the breath being still and fully present in this beautiful moment being a mantra of thanksgiving, being a falcon of free flight, being a song of joyous delight, taking this moment, this wild precious moment to love boundlessly…

ah, today is astonishing light of being day and it’s almost a year to the day that a pilgrim of amazing grace joined the celestial choir so it seems a perfect time to honor our songstress of soul…

the songbird known as the queen of soul, the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, child musical prodigy, civil rights activist, touchstone of the times calling us, singing us into the core of being where love, beauty and truth abide, this extraordinary/ordinary being now circles around the cosmos singing us home to our one heart…

more than ever, we need the truth and power of her soul song… may we be inspired to walk the talk, to dance the soul song, Aretha so beautifully emanated…

i can’t re-member a time without her voice echoing in the background, thankfully, her voice echoes eternally…

godspeed…

“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”
~ Martin Luther King, Jr ~

today in portalandia, we’re having a protest of standing for love and a counter protest in contradiction and still i’m in a quintessential celebration of the luminosity of love and feeling such gratitude for these last eight days, an infinity of being unplugged, what a gift to have the space to journey within into the dream cave without distraction of outer stimulation…

in the midst of a world unraveling may we dance in the dark in the rhythm of unknowing, stilling, dwelling in the river below the river, the underground wellspring of love…

re-member all you truly love… re-member… re-member… close your eyes as the waves of love rise and breathe it in deeply into every wild cell… in this moment, this beautiful moment luxuriate in being love, our birth rite, our true nature…

always being love, always becoming love…

on awakening, i re-member a dream of being in a field where the Beloved Communion dwells and hearing that our mission is to sing… as on so many awakenings, a melody sings me as i luxuriate in this liminal space with one sole in dreamtime and the other in awaketime…

are you hearing beloved singing you? listen a little deeper for the cosmic hum as you suspend noise and distraction in this moment, this beautiful moment… are you hearing the whispers of the ancestors flowing through our oceanic body? ah yes, let’s pause here in the stillpoint and align with the rhythm of our one heart…

may earth’s song reach into our deepest and wildest sacred spaces… may we hear the melodic voices of all our relations: stones, stars, streams, breezes, sand, sun, ocean, currents, plants, starfish, seas, planets, creatures, rivers, and winds… may our inhalations inspire re-joy-sing and our exhalations re-sound and re-verberate loingkindness and harmony throughout the watery womb of our one heart…

sing, sing, wherever you are, a song of compassion blessing pachamama, the spirit of land, the spirit of life, the one spirit encircling all in the great web of life intricately interconnecting all our relatives as one body with trillions and trillions of cells resonating as one vast field of love…

this image visits me frequently… in dreams, in waking moments, especially on a day such as this, a day of stopping and seeing inside, of staying unplugged and savoring this moment, this beautiful moment while sauntering along the rainbow trail, the path with heart, the pilgrimage of the soul, the pathless path…

the peace pilgrimage, the pathless path of soul takes courage, a heart letting go completely to soften into the call of the beloved trusting that in this surrender, the cosm, the cosmos will have our back…
~
“A true vocation requires shedding anything that would impede or obscure the call. A true pilgrimage requires letting go of the very things most people try to hold onto. In seeking after what the soul desires we become pilgrims with no home but the path the soul would have us follow.”
~ Michael Meade ~
~
rapidly, i’m approaching the two year anniversary of being called into the lion’s roar, into awakening, into the deepest initiation adventure of this incarnation, two turns around the sun of arriving, of coming home into the present moment, the true self wholeheartedly with all the trillions and trillions of wild cells humming, embodying the frequency of soul…

“He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self.”

~ Bhagavad Gita ~

a day of tahoma, the native name for beloved mt rainier pictured above… love the name tahoma sounding like to home, ah… and indeed, this day of being unplugged again is another day of coming home to the heart and trusting in this wild journey… trusting in it’s rhythm which dances to the beat of the divine drummer of our one heart… following the rhythm deep within to the silent stillpoint where our most profound purpose lies in the ground of being calling us to nurture this trust daily… calling us to offer full presence, lovingkindness, compassion and generosity which opens the portal to a freedom of floating in the golden buoyant sea and vibrating in a river of joy frequency which is in the core of all being, that field of unitive harmony out beyond and in beyond all boundaries and borders into the unknown where we follow a pathless path, a path the soul carves out and invites us to be open and curious bearing reverential witness to the unfolding and taking action through dreaming, attention, intention…

love walking home through the unitive field with you being breathed together as one…

A MIND THAT HAS NO WALLS, THAT IS NOT BURDENED WITH ITS OWN ACQUISITIONS, ACCUMULATIONS, WITH ITS OWN KNOWLEDGE, A MIND THAT LIVES TIMELESSLY, INSECURELY – TO SUCH A MIND, LIFE IS AN EXTRAORDINARY THING. SUCH A MIND IS LIFE ITSELF, BECAUSE LIFE HAS NO RESTING PLACE.
– JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI –
~
may life flow through all our relations as a timeless meandering river of water always moving aligned with the flow of dynamic life…

come, sit in the sand with me and listen to the song of the sea, feel into the rhythm of the waves breathing in and breathing out, experience life as a wave always flowing freely…

in joy being the ocean in a drop – ever seeking, exploring, pushing, overflowing its shoreline, penetrating every crevice with the waters of life, ceaselessly eroding the walls of suffering and separation to move us into the great turning and the revelation that there are no borders or boundaries and that there is simply one ever expanding interwoven web of iridescent silken threads…

thank you, computer, in your death, your sacrifice, your making sacred, my mind is unburdened in a thunderous clean-sing of acquisitions, accumulations, its own knowledge, to live timelessly with life being extraordinary and ordinary now that the mind is life itself in service to the whole… om shanti…

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 6 – Day 239 – 8/12/2019

Posted on August 12, 2019 by Jo Beall

every day, every moment is perfect for calling in the ancient wisdom from elephant spirit and sourcing the divine… simply breathe in earth mother’s love and feel it circulating and humming through every wild cell to the frequency of thanks be thanks be thanks…

radiate the love out to father sky and to all our relations in need of connection, in need of protection, in need of true refuge, belonging space…

re-member these gentle giants today, every day, every moment, this moment, and for all our relations in peril, take a stand for love by saying yes to safeguarding the endangered, the frail, the young… all for one…

such a lovely way to begin this day that will take me into the outer world after the beautiful repose in true emptiness of the last couple of days… i would never have asked for the death of a computer that is a vault for so much of my life’s work, but i really love the lack of stimuli, this being on silent re-treat with great mystery and listening, listening in a deeper way to the council of luminous beings always hear for us and encouraging our embarking on the journey into inner space of opening the heart ever wider to love deeply, forgive sincerely and dare greatly…

Posted on August 11, 2019 by Jo Beall

today spirit invites dancing life in a sacred way knowing that love, service and re-membrance bring great value to the sacred hoop of life, the unbroken circle of interconnection amplified by it’s being astonishing light of being day and i’m so much more zen with all history erased and being rebirthed back to factory settings…

~

i’m walking the bhakti path today,

floating through life in a buoyant way…

with nothing to do and nowhere to go,

resting still in the ocean, the ocean of flow..

chanting love’s names polishes our one heart,

resonating at the frequency of love you impart

a raising of the vibration of cosmic harmony

attuning us all to the deep peace of great mystery…

~

two years ago, i stood at an altar of love having flown home for a family wedding uniting the opposites with joy and celebration while across town, Charlottesville was exploding… it was good then to be standing in a unitive field of love balancing the hatred happening blocks away and it’s good to stand with you in love today with each of us invoking the beloved in our own authentic way… perhaps, you’ll join me in placing your hand on your heart and calling up the image of a relation you love… or, maybe, spend time in the company of a tree or play in water and squeal with glee or plant seeds of compassion and joy drawing down the courage of the leo waxing moon… whatever it is, float in devocean, the ocean of devotion with your wide open heart re-joy-sing in the dream of the cosm – peace in every moment…

Abundance Created Together (ACT)

This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love; the more they give, the more they possess. – Rainer Maria Rilke –
