Poetic Peace Pilgrimage – Year 8 – Day 227 – 7/31/2021

Posted on by

in this moment of pregnant pause, i see us standing still and simultaneously moving at the speed of light on a high dune dedicated to free flight and deep dives into blessing this belonging space we share… this precipice where we see the collapse of a world that no longer serves and receive visions of a new world quietly forming, a sacred space where we realize there is no separation… this stillpoint at the center of our circle, the hub of the wheel where all that is, is still, where everything is oh so real, where the peace that passeth all understanding is palpable calling us into deep silence…. listen, listen to the cosmic hum… listen, listen to our heartbeat’s drum… listen, listen for the sound of the bell syncing our breathing to the mantra of all is well… deep peace of the running wave to you, deep peace, deep peace, deep peace…

deep bows to us all as we close the circle of joyvolution july and bless this space of the deep peace of the flowing wave and big sky and high plains and inner light while in the very same moment we all feel the inner and outer tectonic plates shifting as we close out an era, an epoch, a cycle of nature… for the last nine days i’ve been on retreat celebrating re-creation and profoundly plunging into the waters of life to listen, listen, listen to mama gaia and papa cosm and all our relatives’ heartsongs of blessing and lament, the soul songs that are our connective tissue reminding us, re-membering us that we are one, one family belonging to each other… on this ninth day of retreat, on this last da of july, re-membering it’s the day an ancestor, a joy revolutionary, my father died, listen to this heartsong from Rumi….

“This longing you express
is the return message.
The grief you cry out from
draws you toward union.
Your pure sadness
that wants help
is the secret cup.
Listen to the moan of a dog for its master.
That whining is the connection.”

i return from this retreat of deep union with spirit and earth more committed than ever to every moment being a moment of peace watered by the river below the river, our underground wellspring, the river of joy reverencing the mystery of unfolding the wholeness we are as we summon the courage to face what is real-eye-sing this is what in forms us, forms us, re-creates the world of original blessing for that is our origin, we are blessing living in a world of blessing beautifully revealed as we polish the mirror, see through the eyes of loving acceptance, opening our one heart’s circle of compassion ever wider…

thanks be, great mystery, for awakening to the beauty of the unitive field we are we are… one cosmos, one web, one tribe, one family, one being, one ocean, one underground/aboveground wellspring of the river of joy, one love, one…

“wherever you go, go with all your heart…”

~ Confucius ~

~

walking a path of devocean, going with our whole heart, asks us to be present in every moment trusting that all is divinely woven together seamlessly and calls us to surrender to or merge with the divine web of life which is both rooted in the river below the river and winging across the sky above in free flight… showing up wholeheartedly is a smile on your face, is the sun lighting up the world, is a wave rushing home to shore, is the wind whispering through the trees and our chanting a litany of thank you, thank you, thank you…

can you hear the chords of hallelujah flowing in the background and foreground as one by one we awaken to the astonishing wonder of being no matter how turbulent the waves of the outer world?

as this moonth of joyvolution nears coming to a close, thousandfold thanks for sharing this journey along the buen camino, the pathless path, for coming home to our one heart flowing in rhythm with mystery, dancing and singing in harmony and shining the light of divine love so brightly…

in this field of love may we forever walk
all day long may we walk
through the turnings may
we walk
on the path of pollen
may we walk
with love in our one heart may we walk
with  love before us may we walk
with love behind us may we walk
with love above us may we walk
with love all around us may we
walk
wandering on a trail of
love, may we walk
beginning in love
deepening in love…

let’s close our sacred ceremony with the Essene Communion for Saturday whose purpose is for us to cultivate the unitive field of quantum possibility, the akashic ocean of all being…

THE DEEPENING: Fasting is the first principle. Fast from negative thoughts, words and deeds. Fast from ego, pride and desire. Fast from all physical ills and Ye shall behold the strength and the wisdom of the spirit.

MORNING COMMUNION: The EARTHLY MOTHER and I are one. Blessed is the child who knoweth the Earthy Mother, for she is the provider and the sustainer of life. Her harvest becomes thy body, her waters become thy blood, her winds will carry thy spirit, and as each morning comes, I shall embrace her.

MEDITATION: The richness of the Mother’s garden surrounds us. The forces of nature toil unendingly for the benefit of all. For this we are blessed. The kingdom which guides and nurtures the plants and the forests is yet another manifestation of the Mother’s love for us, and we within this kingdom must return her blessings with respect, with caring, and with love.

NOON CONTEMPLATION: Peace with the HEAVENLY FATHER:
Ye that love thy Heavenly Father do Ye then his bidding; Walk Ye with his Holy Angels and you shall find peace within his Holy Law.


EVENING COMMUNION: Angel of ETERNAL LIFE I invoke thee; descend upon my soul and bless my spirit with the splendor and the knowledge of eternal life. And as each evening comes, I shall embrace thee. 

THE BLESSING: The food upon my table shares its life with me. And as this life nourishes my body, one day my body shall nourish this earth. And until that time shall pass, I shall return her blessings with kindness, with respect, and with my love.

Verily I say unto you, if in the daytime the Earthly Mother holds you in her arms, and in the night the Heavenly Father breathes his kiss upon you, then will the Sons of Men become the Sons of God. ~Gospel of Peace of Jesus Christ

honoring John Lewis on the belated first year anniversary (7/17/20) of his death with his timeless words encouraging us that we can redeem the soul of our nation….

“While my time here has now come to an end, I want you to know that in the last days and hours of my life you inspired me. You filled me with hope about the next chapter of the great American story when you used your power to make a difference in our society. Millions of people motivated simply by human compassion laid down the burdens of division. Around the country and the world you set aside race, class, age, language and nationality to demand respect for human dignity.

That is why I had to visit Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, though I was admitted to the hospital the following day. I just had to see and feel it for myself that, after many years of silent witness, the truth is still marching on.

Emmett Till was my George Floyd. He was my Rayshard Brooks, Sandra Bland and Breonna Taylor. He was 14 when he was killed, and I was only 15 years old at the time. I will never ever forget the moment when it became so clear that he could easily have been me. In those days, fear constrained us like an imaginary prison, and troubling thoughts of potential brutality committed for no understandable reason were the bars.

…Like so many young people today, I was searching for a way out, or some might say a way in, and then I heard the voice of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on an old radio. He was talking about the philosophy and discipline of nonviolence. He said we are all complicit when we tolerate injustice. He said it is not enough to say it will get better by and by. He said each of us has a moral obligation to stand up, speak up and speak out. When you see something that is not right, you must say something. You must do something. Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help build what we called the Beloved Community, a nation and world society at peace with itself.

Ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble. Voting and participating in the democratic process are key. The vote is the most powerful nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society. You must use it because it is not guaranteed. You can lose it.

You must also study and learn the lessons of history because humanity has been involved in this soul-wrenching, existential struggle for a very long time. People on every continent have stood in your shoes, through decades and centuries before you. The truth does not change, and that is why the answers worked out long ago can help you find solutions to the challenges of our time. Continue to build union between movements stretching across the globe because we must put away our willingness to profit from the exploitation of others.

Though I may not be here with you, I urge you to answer the highest calling of your heart and stand up for what you truly believe. In my life I have done all I can to demonstrate that the way of peace, the way of love and nonviolence is the more excellent way. Now it is your turn to let freedom ring.

When historians pick up their pens to write the story of the 21st century, let them say that it was your generation who laid down the heavy burdens of hate at last and that peace finally triumphed over violence, aggression and war. So I say to you, walk with the wind, brothers and sisters, and let the spirit of peace and the power of everlasting love be your guide.”

“Under pressure, we do not rise to the level of our aspirations. We fall to the level of our training.”

~ Bruce Lee ~

~

today, bruce’s words flow through me in such a deeper way… i awaken knowing i am scheduled for treatment at the hospital and i don’t think i have it in me to arise and get myself there and then the words come through, the words that have been a spiritual practice, a well-used energetic medicine for many years to simply breathe in from our earthmother who loves us so and our sky father always there to enspirit us which reminds me that today is also the 99th birthday of my earthly father, a being who always believed wholeheartedly in me…

with every step on the journey today, one baby step after another, i breathe in the loving support of the ancestors always swirling around and have the chant of thank you constantly flowing with so much appreciation to the nurses who so beautifully live beloved community re-membering we belong to each other, the more harmoniously we work together, the more healing and the more healing, health, wholeness, the more peace on every level and in every way in the cosmos…

i know how easy it is to tense up and recoil, to panic in the face of what feels like losing balance, losing control, the ”end of the world”, to go into a default place of fight, flight, fright but stop and re-member – we have been in training, in practice for these moments and a seeing clearly now response is as close as our breath, our intention, our syncing into the astonishing beauty before us, behind us, beside us, below us, above us, surrounding us, within us as we surrender into spirit, flowing in harmony with source…

si se puede, yes we can freefall into the wings of love and land in the milagro field, the ground of interbeing, the true reality of pure possibility…

let’s close this sacred ceremony with the Essene Communion for Thursday whose purpose is for us to commune with and contemplate water for water is life, the ocean of all being…

MORNING COMMUNION: Angel of WATER I invoke thee; whether lake or stream or water of the well, enter my body and become my blood. Give unto me the gift that sustains all life. Your blessings hath cleansed my spirit and quenched the thirst of my soul and as each morning comes, I shall embrace thee.

MEDITATION: As the wave of natures glory reaches its crest and then flows on, I have gained perspective. The waters that rage in the rivers and the rains that fall from the sky are the same as the blood that flows in the veins of my body. The Earth and I are one.

NOON CONTEMPLATION: Peace with the MIND.
Evil thoughts cannot abide in a mind filled with the Light of the Law. He who hath found Peace with the Mind, hath learned to soar beyond the realm of the Angels; For I tell you truly, the lightning that cleaves the mighty oak, or the quaking that opens great cracks in the earth are as the play of children compared with the powers of thought.

EVENING COMMUNION: Angel of WISDOM I invoke thee; for only through the wisdom of the holy law doth the Angels guide the children of light. Descend upon my thinking body and enlighten my thoughts, my mind, my intentions and my deeds. To follow the holy law is the root of your blessings, and as each evening comes, I shall embrace thee.

THE BLESSING: When at first a fledgling bird tries to fly, his wings cannot support him, and he falls again and again to the earth. But he tries again and one day he soars aloft, leaving the earth and his nest far behind. And so is it with the thoughts and intentions of the Sons of Men. The longer one walks with the angels and keeps their Law, the stronger ones thoughts shall become in Holy Wisdom. The day will come when the thoughts of men will overcome even the kingdom of death and then shall he soar to everlasting life in the kingdoms of the Heavenly Father. 

There is no greater power in heaven and earth than in the thoughts of the Son of Man. ~The Isaiah Effect

Each of us has deep within the knowledge of all things, and when we are ready to remember, the knowledge is there to be known. ~The Essene Book of Days

Only when we surrender to our inner nature can we begin to hear the wisdom that comes from deep within. ~The Essene Book of Days

“Thus shall ye think of this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; A flash of lightning in a summer cloud; A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.”
~Diamond Sutra~

a day of rest just what the doctor ordered and more importantly, what the soul ordered… a day of turbulence just what the doctor ordered and more importantly, what the soul ordered? really? i have to ride wild waves filled with stinging jellyfish? yes, this too, this experience calling me deeper and deeper into the breath, into empty presence, the spaciousness of openheartedness… like the ocean, all is moving and transforming from wave to wave, breath to breath… like the moon, we cycle again and again through phases, dynamically changing from moment to moment…

diving deeper and deeper into the wondering, we enter the stillpoint trusting the center will hold even in an outer world that presently so belies that trust…. making it so very critical to breathe into the center and surrender to great mother who cradles us like a newborn while we rock gently back and forth feeling the support of the ocean of love, home to grandmother who loves us so…

ah, i’m smiling in this moment of eternity with this world that is always turning, this world where the constant is change, always love remains… love is all there is…

aho!

let’s close this ceremony with the Essene Communion for Wednesday whose purpose is for us to become receptive to the solar energies and establish a perfect unity between the self and the sun and distribute its power throughout the body…

THE DEEPENING: Let thy love be as the Angel of Sun which shines upon ALL the creatures of the earth, and does not favor even one blade of grass for another.

MORNING COMMUNION: Angel of SUN I invoke thee. Thou art the fountain of light that warms our days and lights our path. It is by your glory that man is born to live the words of the Holy Law, and as each morning comes, I shall embrace thee. 

MEDITATION: This day brings to the world the divine blessings of the glorious Sun and its radiant gifts of warmth and of light. How mindlessly we go about our days shielded from your nourishment and unable the receive your blessed gifts. Without fail, I shall find time this day to take the gift of your light into my soul, so that my own light may shine unto others with the same power and glory that you have given unto me.

NOON CONTEMPLATION: Peace with the FAMILY. He who hath found peace with his brother hath entered the kingdom of love and shall experience the Oneness of God. The Heavenly Father knoweth the hearts and the minds of his Children, and their inheritance shall forever be Peace.

EVENING COMMUNION: Angel of LOVE I invoke thee; for love is the first blessing of the Heavenly Father. Yea, it was said in the days of old, thou shalt love thy brother as thyself; and to every one who loveth another is born of the Heavenly Order, and shall drink from the well of eternity. And as each evening comes, I shall embrace thee.

THE BLESSING: The warmth of this day has filled me. How natural it is to feel this blessing and to radiate it back into the world. I look into the eyes of another and see only shared divinity. The boundaries have disappeared. You are no longer a stranger to my heart.

Truly, all must be born again of Sun and of truth, for your body basks in the sunlight of the Earthly Mother, and your spirit basks in the sunlight of truth of the Heavenly Father.
~ Gospel of Peace of Jesus Christ ~

“…And this was my true task, to be the
music of the body.  Do you understand? for truly the body needs
a song, a spirit, a soul.  And no less, to make this work,
the soul has need of a body,
and I am both of the earth and I am of the inexplicable
beauty of heaven
where I fly so easily, so welcome, yes,
and this is why I have been sent, to teach this to your heart.”
~ Mary Oliver ~

~

welcome, well come to the first day of a new turn around the sun, a beautiful moment of eternity and retreat to celebrate the astonishing light of interbeing… as such an auspicious and momentous day calls for (it’s day 222 on turn ’round the sun year 8), i luxuriate in every sacred breath as i contemplate the re-creation of the cosms…

  woo hoo! yes, it is the moment to get our joyfull on and shine the inner light of divine love brilliantly for on this first day of the thirteen moon new year, there is the opening of a grand portal based on the heliacal rising of Sirius – the brightest star in our night’s sky … this gateway peaks on the 8/8 Lions Gate portal concluding its transmission on the 12th… during these moments, the creation of a new paradigm of consciousness streams into the cosmos…

re-member, every act of shining the inner light of divine love now raises the voltage of unitive consciousness throughout the universal field of pure possibility, so, yes, let’s get to dancing with the breeze and swaying with the trees, smiling at a stranger and hugging a forest ranger, gazing at the sun and seeing rainbows everywhere as we breathe in the golden light of the beloved and breathe out any resistance to the light and as we breathe in the golden light again, witness it being a golden sea of love energy encompassing all creation in a boundless ocean of devotion/devocean…

in the dreamweave where i begin this re-creation manifestival day calling in the spirits around the ceremonial fire within all relatives, i listen for the ancestors reminding me that we are one interconnected web of life here to create beauty, live in harmony with all life, being peace with every breath and that the peacemaker’s mission, as the many accounts of an ancient legend make clear, is to reestablish the natural equilibrium on which the well being of individuals, cultures, and the whole of creation depends… being redemptive shamanic practitioners, wounded healers creates health/wholeness which means peace…

may our one heart listen deeply and hear the soul song, the cosmic hum vibrational wave rising and deepening in us all as we real-eyes our flowing soul song…

“My work has harvested souls, a great achievement for humankind, for all of us who believe that things in the world can be better, if we attempt at every moment to do things well: to show respect, to value what has little value today, to feel proud of our identity, to defend our traditions, to defend our traditional medicine, to love and respect our elders and listen to them with great attention, to teach children to live with respect, peace, and love. The mission of all human beings who achieve consciousness is to take care of themselves and Mother Earth.”

~ Julieta Casimiro Estrada~

~

according to the galactic calendar, today, july 25 is the day out of time, the day before we start a new year, a day vibrating at the frequency of universal love… it’s also the day three years ago that i heard of the death of Abuela (Grandmother) Julieta who actually passed over on july 23, the day of Ajpu, which is the energy of the guardian… at the moment of eternity of her closing her eyes for the last time, it was when the energy of the day was at its highest, midday…

i love celebrating this day of timelessness, the wisdom of the grandmothers and the astonishing light of our interbeing together, so i re-treat this day within a circle of abuelas, guardians and co creators of the dreamweave… i carry a prayer of Grandmother Julieta, Guardian of the Light, a Curandera of the world dedicating her whole life to prayer with me and invite you to re-wild as her prayer sings through you as well…

“All of us here want the same thing. We want to walk in peace, and we want no more war. We don’t need war. All the suffering and pain that is going on in the world, especially of little children and elders, really hurts me inside. Our Mother Earth is hurting. They are destroying our Mother Earth. They are destroying our Mother. They need to have respect for Her. We need to walk with respect, especially during these times we are living in now.  I pray hard all this time for this to change.”

love and light, for this we pray… please add in your intentions for our cosm… the things you love, the things that break your heart wide open, those things the still small voice whispers for us to be… in balance, service, joy, respect, harmony, peace and openhearted presence…

dreaming in waves’ rhythm in the vast expanse of the deep glassy pacific sea

sun’s luminous mists enshroud this liminal space – the cosmic hum’s silence of eternity…

breathing in, we are home for home is where the heart resides

breathing out, we dance spiraling love, flowing with the tides…

standing with each other, we come together now

in this present moment imagining the visionary how…

how for us all to know the world as blessingway of belonging space

and for us all to feel earth mother’s ever abundant nourishing flowing grace…

grandmother ocean whispers softly, her voice emphatic and clear

love one another, hold this wisdom dear…

today’s pilgrimage is day two of re-TREAT and what a treat to get to spend time with grandmother who washes over me conducting me into her watery depths for some dreamtime of re-membering/membering and re-creating/creating mystory/mystery… iridescence immersion has a nice ring and an even better feel as ocean dances with the sun along with a community of surfers riding the waves of chaos to the shore of creation… on this day when grief is close by, what a special treat to soak in grandmother’s negative ions bringing release to the bleeding heart, the foggy third eye and the grieving womb while living the eternal quest ion – what is wanting to be birthed in the cosm?

as we live the quest-ion, re – member the first time you stretched out your wings and real-eyesed you could fly? surely, you were as excited as this baby orca and felt like dancing in joy around the sun… what a gift to experience our free, wild selves… so, let’s all take in a deep breath drawing it down to our bellies letting go… letting go… letting go into flow with nowhere to go and nothing to do… simply be… floating beauty…. so, let’s all take in another deep breath drawing it down to our bellies and letting it explode out in raucous laughter that lightens and unites the whole universe…

may we return with every breath to the kingdom of joy vowing to live this moment, every moment in joy, the ultimate rebellion for these critical times… thank you for joining me on the caravan of rainbowmaker rebirth, being, living as joyous freespirits….

“The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that its center is really everywhere, it is within each of us…”

~ Black Elk ~

may we, like our orca sisters, know where the feeding grounds of true nourishment are and how to be with and guide others  during times of heartbreak to solace and deep peace within each of us…

in honor of this full moon/lunar lughnasadh, this high holy day, this new seven year cycle, this new decade i’m sharing a selfie and proclaiming the coming week as Happy Turn Around the Sun Re-Creation ManiFestival Week and will spend many moments in Sit – Stay – Heel pose breathing into the core, the stillpoint to ask the body temple quest ions and breathe out the answers locked in the cells like lost chords… this full moon of blessing celebrating the abundance of the first harvest also carries an energy of death as days in the northern hemisphere begin to wane and as they wane, i feel this energy deep inside…

she who hears the cries of the world,

who softens her heart turning towards pain

who affirms life and lives in love

opens the path of transformation and liberation…

how can we respond to the suffering that is woven into the very fabric of life? how can we real-eyes a heart that is truly liberated from fear, anger, and alienation? is there a way to sync into a depth of wisdom and compassion that genuinely makes a difference in this confounding and collapsing world?

while, the flow of impermanence and uncertainty can be daunting for our protective selves who want to keep us safe, thanks be that in our core in this moment with this breath we are able to tune into our essence of boundless love…

what abundance are you celebrating?
what is present in the harvest that you are grateful for?
what do you need to die to, to release to materialize transformation and liberation?
where are you willing to slow down and let go to open to the organic flow and unfolding of your sou’s destiny even more?

i want to walk my talk and take this moment and every moment to thank you, thank you, thank you for walking home with me along the rainbow trailless trail, the peace pilgrimage pathless path sowing seeds of bliss and returning home with every breath dedicated to the kingdom of joy, love and peace vowing to live this moment, every moment in this sacred space, the ultimate rebellion for these times…

A flower unfolds to the best of its ability due to the conditions around it. And so do you – you unfold to the best of your ability – Kuan Yin

~

today, we celebrate Mary of Magdala as a human relative and as archetypal energy synonymous with the Way of Love, the Way of the Rose, an embodiment of compassion which is said to manifest wherever beings need help and especially at moments of great turning of epochs when this sacred feminine energy is so sorely needed … on this her feast day, we celebrate her as the apostle of apostles, the core teacher of her beloved Yeshua, the magi who awakens the inner light body…

let us gather together in this moment of eternity to conspire, to breathe together and inspire, breathe in to see what is real as a vessel of love, to see through the eyes of heart, through innersense… let us gather to re-member and be the presence of the magdalene who calls us into spiritual maturity, to the fullest expression of ourselves, our true selves…

let’s reach out our hands to each other feeling the love deepening as it is passed from one hand to another to another… with a SMILE to start my internal love engine, begin to inspire and as we breathe in feel the connection with all our relatives expanding with the movement of breath, of wind, of animating spirt breathing us as one body temple…giving thanks with every breath, bring awareness to our wombspace, sacred space of creativity noticing what is present… now, imagine a fully opened rose with each petal connected to the next spiraling into one another moving down, down, down into a rose-colored space of luminous illumination and ask the magi, the magdalene to envelop us in this light, to shower us with unconditional love… she comes closer clean-sing us with frankincense and myrrh and we re-member who we truly are as all illusion is released and transformed… eyes to eyes, heat to heart, wombspace to wombspace with the magdalene who anoints us blessing us with the capacity for unconditional love reminding us that all is one and all there is is love… as we near a close, drink in the red wine of the sacred feminine receiving it into every wild cell feeling the oneness of the all that isas seen through divine union, the marriage of the soular and lunar, the great work of sacred feminine energy… offering immense gratitude, we are gifted with the way of the rose, the way of love, the way of the awakened heart…
