welcome, well come to day 31 of a season of peace on this first day of the new moonth of metamorphing march and its treasure trove of riches beginning with this day of Venus conjunct with Jupiter and the 8th day of the metaphorical 40 days in the desert before dying to one life to be reborn into one more, a mysterious metamorphing… welcome, well come to where i live – in the river of life deepening into the river below the river and suspended, paused on the bridge holding the tension of the opposites as this energy moves through melting walls and constrictions that block me from feeling the warm embrace of the web of life, the belonging place for all our relatives, this space where we re-member our true nature as beings of peace who are to live in harmony with all that is… what a moment of eternity we are in with so many opportunities to practice lovingkiindness with actions of compassion beginning right within our ocean of being… in this potent moment of eternity, we have such a beautiful Venusian/Jupiterian opportunity to stand solidly together saying yes to peace, to wage peace with every breath and every step… i’ve been a peace activist for many decades and still know that peace is the way and that most of us want peace; it is my intention at this crossroads moment to do my part knowing our survival depends on it… thank you for being peace in this moment, in every moment…

come now and join me beside the still water on this day of a new beginning and let’s celebrate the astonishing light of our being giving us the courage to look deeply within and act courageously, with great heart co-creating the world of compassion and peace we all know is possible…

let’s hold out our hands to each other, smile and conspire, breathe together through our one heart receiving the golden light pouring into us from our earth mother and sky father who love us so… with each breath we enter deeper and deeper into great mystery…. open the way… toward the one… breathing in… breathing out…

may we experience source, the ultimate spiritual reality of the universe, the power of healing and transformation that is the ultimate reality and shaper of the universe, the transformative power unifying all being as one spiritually-alive, mutually inter-dependent, awesome, flawsome, fantastic, evolving, conscious totality of which we are each a tiny part and totality, the one and the many simultaneously…

blessing the space between us as we journey deeper into  sacred mystery walking each other home, the pilgrimage to our one heart…

  let’s seal this sacred space with the reciting of a poem for cultivating peace = people emerging and cultivating equanimity:

“When the earth is in distress, she attunes with love and sends out a prayer.

The True One hears it, and with total ease is pleased to give strength and steadiness.

by sending a command to the Power of Rain, and the rain pours down in torrents.

The wealth of grain and corn grows thick.

we cannot describe the value.

Oh Naanak, appreciate the Divine Identity.

You, Divine One, cause the life-giving food to be given to all the creatures and peace grows.”
