“Empty yourself of everything.  Let the mind rest at peace.  The ten thousand things rise and fall while the Self watches their return.  They grow and flourish and then return to the Source.  Returning to the Source is stillness, which is the way of Nature.  The way of Nature is unchanging.”  ~Lao Tsu, Tao Te Ching

how i love this day of soulstice and standing still with the sun

re-membering life is a pilgrimage to the inner sun, sol, soul,

the city of gold in the heart within the heart, sacred space of radiance…

holding the treasured wisdom of our true value and how the world always goes on…

~

as the wise pilgrim moon waxes on this soulstice with so much to celebrate and commemorate: in the southern hemisphere we breathe in the shortest day while in the northern hemisphere we breathe out the longest day… are you feeling gaia breathing in rhythm with light waves? are you feeling the earth of your being breathing in the waves of light? as we stand still with the sun, i invite your pausing with me and reflecting on some quest ions… who am i? what do i want? what am i here to give? what am i greatfull for?

today, the veil between the worlds is so thin, a magical day to see through the mists… to return for the divine union between heaven and earth to occur… a sacred moment of the divine masculine spirit pouring the luminous light all over the cosmos as we celebrate sacred father energy freeing us to enter the vast unknown, to stand still with the sun…

let’s gather together now in the sacred grove in the field of trutopia under ancient oak trees, nurtured by the ground, the living green grass under our feet, to honor the longest/shortest day of the year… witnessing the pain of our earthmother, today we celebrate Her saying prayers of healing, for the world and for all Her children…

“Beloved Creator, Beloved Mother Father, Beloved Beauty,  On this sacred day Beloved Creator, We the humans of the Four Directions, Ask for your sacred blessings. You have brought us to this moment Beloved Beauty, The longest day of the year, & You have shown us our path. We have a path to travel Beloved Creator, & We are asking for your blessings, As we travel on this path Beloved Beauty. We are here to be in prayer with you, To ask for your blessings, To ask for your protection. As we pray Beloved Creator, As we journey down our path Beloved Beauty, We bring out our offerings to the sacred altar of the Universe. Beloved Beauty, You bring to us the longest day, & The shortest night. On this day we celebrate around the globe, Having been celebrated for eons. Thank you to the spirit of all our ancestors, I stand here before you, Holding the spirit of the fire in my heart. Beloved Beauty, Bless us with your beautiful, beautiful light. I know you are with us Beloved Mother Father, To bless us & to carry us on this sacred, sacred day Beloved Beauty. In the name of all of the spirit of nature Beloved Creator, The spirit the Earth, The spirit of the sacred Waters that helps us in the the growing of our gardens. I ask the blessings of the sacred Sun, & I ask for the blessings of the sacred Wind, The sacred breath. That it comes together in harmony, For the sake of all the people, Beloved Creator. In the name of all this Beloved Creator, In the name of the great mystery Beloved Beauty, I thank you from the bottom of my heart,& I thank each & every one of you listening in the four directions. Let us form together a beautiful circle of light, Circle of prayer, Circle of intention, & Circle of huge gratitude for the sacred beauty of Life. In the name of all the beauty around the globe, Beloved Creator, I thank you.”  ~ Blessings on this sacred Summer Solstice Day,Grandmother Flordemayo

“We join with the earth and with each other.
To celebrate the seas.
To rejoice the sunlight.
To sing the song of the stars.

We join with the earth and with each other.
To recall our destiny.
To renew our spirits.
To reinvigorate our bodies.

We join together as many and diverse expressions of one loving mystery: for the healing of the earth and the renewal of all life. We join with the earth and with each other.
To bring new life to the land.
To restore the waters.
To refresh the air.

We join with the earth and with each other.
To renew the forests.
To care for the plants.
To protect the creatures.

We join with the earth and with each other.
To create the human community.
To promote justice and peace.
To remember our children.”

may we re-member as we stand still with the sun that in each of us, there’s a little of all of us, there is only one of us here and in the most overarching sense, we are all refugees, all desiring beloved community, a refuge in the storm… as we take a sacred pause and stand still, may we reflect on the transformation we are being called to leap into shifting from a culture of war to one of peace, the beloved community of ubuntu, of compassion and care…

in this moment of eternity, this moment of the astonishing light of our being, may we all awaken to our sol, our inner radiance of divine love…
