Poetic Peace Pilgrimage – Year 8 – Day 40 – 1/25/2021

when i see this picture today that i took five turns around the sun and five moons ago on a pilgrimage through the belly of the earth to the healing waters of a once powerful falls, it looks like a dream which prompts my re-membering a dream of five years and five moonths ago which feels just right for the five month anniversary of my latest dying and rebirthing on this day that begins the fourth week of forced evacuation from where i live due to a disaster…

before sharing the dream, let’s inter sacred space with deepest bows to grandmother spider… always weaving a web of such amazing, intricate interconnectedness demonstrating beyond the shadow of a doubt that we live in a cosmos of implicate order, great mystery unfolding,.. yes, below the deep river of suffering is another river always bubbling and whispering all is well…

and now for the lucid dream of five/five years/moonths ago on this very day, a potent dream of grace so perfect for this first moonth of the decade of destiny when we are called to listen, listen, listen to the heartsong of the council of ancestors – rainbow sky, the stone people, brother sun, sister moon, floating clouds, mother waters…

 i’m in a car and we’re winding around a narrow and oh so steep mountain road when i real-eyes no one is driving the car on this precipitous path… i look around and feel the presence of pure love auto piloting the vehicle and in that moment i know i can relax and trust this journey… looking out to the left, i see beloved ocean below flowing in and out and i am filled with peace, love and joy as we continue our spiraling trek around the mountain into the land of rainbow sky where i breathe in this moment of awe and rest on the trail of wandering in wonder knowing everything is grace, especially important on a day like today to be reminded and to hear the lost falls’ echoes rising from the river below the river whispering… be here now standing in the center seeing all that is as sacred, as one vast ocean of being one with cosmic flow…

may our dreams come alive today…
