every outbreath, an emptying… every inbreath, a re-membering…
thank you to farmer of the heart and of the land, Wendell Berry, for so aptly describing the experience of walking this pathless path… the precious moments of eternity when the rubber touches the road and we are given the opportunity to walk our talk, to keep putting one foot in front of the other, to walk in light, to walk in love, to listen deeply within for which way to go, to trust we are being pulled along the path with heart…
with every breath and every step on the camino of peace in this moon of surrendered into love september under the tutelage of Venus, goddess of love, a soul song flows from the source leading this pilgrimage – transmute me into an instrument of thy peace, where there is hatred, let me sow love…
in addition to the beloved prayer ascribed to St Francis patron of this pilgrimage, i am also singing a song of peace of another beloved planetary elder, Jane Goodall…
“We pray to the great Spiritual Power in which
we live and move and have our being.
We pray that we may at all times
keep our minds open to new ideas and shun dogma;
that we may grow in our understanding of the nature of all living beings
and our connectedness with the natural world;
that we may become ever more filled with
generosity of spirit and true compassion and love for all life;
that we may strive to heal the hurts that we have inflicted on nature
and control our greed for material things, knowing that
our actions are harming our natural world and the future of our children;
that we may value each and every human being
for who he is, for who she is,
reaching to the spirit that is within,
knowing the power of each individual to change the world.”
may we all love beyond measure re-membering our true nature as a communion of compassionate cooperatives dwelling in a responsive cosmos cross-pollinated with every breath’s love and light… and, in this peace, love and joy field, may we walk
all day long may we walk…
buen camino!
