“World peace through nonviolent means is neither absurd nor unattainable. All other methods have failed. Thus we must begin anew. Nonviolence is a good starting point. Those of us who believe in this method can be voices of reason, sanity, and understanding amid the voices of violence, hatred, and emotion. We can very well set a mood of peace out of which a system of peace can be built.”

–Martin Luther King, Jr., December 1964

in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, King said “Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.” What a clear challenge to the punishment paradigm that incarcerates so many, sentencing people to death by incarceration and executing others in our name. King is calling us to evolve, to imagine a different approach to conflict, one that promotes healing and is grounded in love…

every great dream begins with a dreamer… always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world… every day i love dreaming and birthing a cosmos of peace and harmony into interbeing… 

giving birth to imaginal cellf

dewy wings warmed by the sun

waxing with moon, rising from sea

free and easy wandering throughout infinity

soaring and singing throughout the multiversity

always resting in the still silence of the cavernous heart of luminosity

“It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.”

~ Wendell Berry ~

ah yes, chaos gives birth to a dancing star, to renewal, to cosm, to cosmos, to implicate order…

“As is the human body, so is the cosmic body.
As is the human mind, so is the cosmic mind.
As is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm.
As is the atom, so is the universe”
~ The Upanishads ~

thank you chaos/primordial space for gestating a  dancing blue star down the birth canal tunnel through  a long dark night with  moments of questioning would there be light… a long dark night to contemplate flow and how to proceed when it’s a no go… a long dark night of staying present, of trusting, of surrendering until the sun rises and reveals the way to be in flow… breathing in, inspiring; breathing out, releasing a dancing star…

aloha! beings of the blue star light, beings of the chaotic, turbulent long night, beings of the cosmic/human body mind spirit soul, being that turns lead into gold integrating interbeingness into true self/cellf…

loving, serving, re-membering that when we merge our internal rhythms with the rhythms of creation, we develop effortless grace in our movement and are able to slide into our perfectly ordered, choreographed dance of life…
