“The work of the eyes is done. Go now and do the heart-work on the images imprisoned within you.”

~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

on this rainy evening with the moon waxing into fullness, i contemplate these last few days of re-membering and releasing the work of outer vision during this profound portal of collective death and rebirth with Rilke’s words still singing me, i hear the old story of there’s a spirit in everything… and this musing takes me right to Michelangelo, you:

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.

Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.”

aren’t all these expressions an excellent instruction manual on how to align with great spirit, rainbow mystery, the one heart, creative process, the soulful self, authenticity?…

yes, listen, listen, listen ever more deeply to our heartsong… release the spirit of the wise pilgrim navigating the journey, the genie always within every bottle/body… and then, may we all proclaim, free at last, free at last…

let’s close this sacred space of ceremony with a beautyway blessing into the sacred fire within, the inner light of great spirit residing in all our relatives:

may this day be blessed with gifts, lessons, understanding and friends… may our energy be a gift to all we meet… let us be centered, healing and open facing the day with courage, kindness, insight and compassion… may we honor this day with the astonishing light of the boundless love of our interbeing…
