Poetic Peace Pilgrimage – Year 9 – Day 308 – 10/20/2022

today, as on many days, i luxuriate in some sacred moments of eternity to reflect on what a wild ride the last many moons have been; especially, the last 25 moons have been so bounteous with so many days of life being upended calling for a re-invention, a new way of living this wild and precious ever unraveling unfolding in such mysterious ways dan-sing along the rainbow trail, the pathless path we call life…

i re-member today one of the recurring tsunami dreams that dreamed me one moon shy of nine years ago… i was driving over a bridge with my mother when suddenly a tsunami appeared out of nowhere, now here… immediately, i am swimming in dark water knowing i must find my mother who is not a strong swimmer… after what seemed an eternity, i surrendered real-eye-sing all i could do was go with the flow… instantaneously i was transported to paradise and then to our family beach cottage where i found my daughter… i knew i had to call my siblings but it was the last thing i wanted to do, to confess that our mother was lost at sea…

as i waited for my siblings to answer the call, i felt movement behind me and turned around to see my mother standing there in my nightgown with my hair and smile – best miracle ever with the tidal wave of destruction transforming into a tidal wave of miracles… what a powerful cosmic reminder of the creatively sustainable form of ptsd: presen-sing, trusting, surrendering and divining this sea of love energy we are… let us all breathe into the stillness of this sacred space as peace flows through in the rhythm of the mighty waves of life here to teach us and show us the way… boundless love and gratitude…
