today is a magical day, a day i am literally transported to a place of power to be with the sea and drink in the healing negative ions of our ocean of being reheartening us to the watery womb we lived in before coming down the birth canal to take our first breath…in this sacred moment of eternity vibrating at the auspicious energy of liquid light as we draw down the energy of great mystery under the moon of the great mother, of listening to the soul song, of leaping in faith as an imaginal cell, the fledgling in this image transports me today to an old story from africa… join me by reaching out our hands and journeying together into the sacred grove in the field out beyond and find your mother tree to embrace as we re-member:

~

when a woman decides that she will have a child, she goes off and sits under a tree, by herself, listening until she hears the soul song of the child that wants to come…

and when the mother is pregnant, she teaches that child’s soul song to the women of the village, so that when the child is born, they will welcome her with that song…

when the child goes through the rites of puberty, the we’moon come together to sing that soul song…

and when the child falls, or hurts its knee, they will pick him up and remind him of the soul song…

when the child crowns a noble achievement, they will celebrate with that soul song…

and if ever along the way the child gets swept up in the world and loses her way, the villagers will come together and remind her of her soul song…

finally, when the child passes away, they will honor his life by singing the soul song…

~ now, let’s get all loosey goosey tightening every part of our body and releasing the tension and imagine ourselves inside a crystal, one with our soul essence and we hear the call, the melody of our soul song of and from pachamama and our cosmic parents and our birth parents and community and we say yes to the call to come to earth and sing our soul song… as we arrive, we take our first breath, a very deep and profound breath of love and gratitude taken as blessing, the miracle of life… we inhale this breath into our wisdom center, our soular plexus acknowledging the new life we injoy with every conscious breath… we take another deep conscious breath and re-member our soul song that called us here…

“…It’s been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change’s gonna come, oh, yes, it will…”  ~ Sam Cook ~

as we pause on the precipice of a new journey into the unknown, may  we sing courageously celebrating the rebirth, renewal and rising again that every breath of life offers…

thank you, thank you, thank you for singing the soul song for all children of the earth…
