“Give us courage and gaiety and the quiet mind. Spare to us our friends, soften to us our enemies. Bless us, if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it may not, give us the strength to encounter that which is to come, that we be brave in peril, constant in tribulation, temperate in wrath, and in all changes of fortune and down to the gates of death, loyal and loving one to another.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson ~
today, i’m imagining that i’m in one of the most beautiful and contemplative of places on mama gaia re-membering and grateful that each of our relations is one of a kind gifted uniquely with a purpose that when shared makes an enormous difference in the world – wow breathe that in and dance in awe at the amazing web grandmother spider weaves…
we so need each other to be of courage, of strong heart when all over the planet, life is out of balance and we know we must change the dream we’ve been living… when we listen to the indigenous, the people of the land who listen to the all that is, we hear the clarion call to love our mother and each other… water, air, trees, sun, moon, stars, all our relatives, and we are all relatives, woven together intricately, inextricably, interconnectedly… we must now, in this sacred moment of eternity, band together, stand together in love, throw off the illusion of separation, re-member the reality that we are one…
so, yes, let us take courage and be of strong heart, awaken the new/ancient dream of the world we all share and long to real-eyes… a world of peace built on justice and guided by love… and as we collectively dream and dance harmony back into the cosmos, thank you for being the one of a kind person you were born to be and shining your light so radiantly like a lighthouse illuminating the stormy sea so we can traverse the pathless path with equanimity coming home to our one heart to live forever free as wanderers of wondrous rainbow mystery…
