Poetic Peace Pilgrimage – Year 9 – Day 65 – 2/19/2022

welcome to day 21 of a season of peace, a day i need to dive so deeply into the earth and sky and ocean of our creative cosmic being to be the peace and love we are in our core while in this moment of turbulence and of ebb tide in the outer world as we witness an escalation of threatening actions, i’m also re-membering birth is often messy and painful as we let go of what no longer serves to revolve/revolute into a more sustainable way…

on this day in 1942, the usa decided to arrest and imprison all citizens of Japanese ancestry – even as little as 1/16  percent and including orphaned infants – all of these beings were subject to mass incarceration with over 130,000 Japanese Americans – many full citizens and the children of citizens – forcibly relocated from their West Coast homes during the spring of 1942 and jailed for up to three years without a trial…

on this day of being peace and re-membrance of the inhumane ways we act when fear leads us to reacting blindly, i must dig deep singing psalm 15 again and again…

Who can be trusted with power,
and who may act in your place?
Those with a passion for justice,
who speak the truth from their hearts;
who have let go of selfish interests
and grown beyond their own lives;
who see the wretched as their family
and the poor as their flesh and blood.

They alone are impartial
and worthy of the people’s trust.

Their compassion lights up the whole earth,
and their kindness endures forever.”

breathing in peace and compassion, join with me in being the world we all want… for me, it is a world of peace and harmony and wisdom and generosity built on justice and balance guided by love and compassion surrendered into great mystery,,,

as we come alive in this wild and precious moment

dreaming a new world on the way,

let us breathe in deeply our dreams coming full circle

as dancing stars give birth today

dreaming a new world on the way,

we hear her whispering down under the sea

as dancing stars give birth today

creating sacred space for flowing beauty

we hear her whispering down under the sea,

now is the moment for the dream to fully be

creating sacred space for flowing beauty

from our one heart soaring into rainbow mystery

as we come alive in this wild moment,

let us breathe in deeply our dreams coming full circle

now is the moment for the dream to fully be

with our one heart soaring into rainbow mystery…

birthing a world where we live and let be, all of us re-joy-sing in harmony…
