let’s walk a bhakti path today,
floating through life in a buoyant way…
living wu wei effortlessly with no where to go,
resting still in the now here motion, the ocean of flow…
resounding love’s holy names polishes our one cosmic heart,
resonating, reverberating at the frequency of the love we impart
deepening the awakened illuminated heart’s vibration of peace and harmony
attuning us all to the vast expansive spaciousness and infinitude of great mystery

today spirit invites dancing life in a sacred way knowing that love, service and re-membrance bring great value to the sacred hoop of life, the unbroken circle of interconnection…
five years ago today, i had flown home to stood at an altar of love for a family wedding uniting the opposites with joy and celebration while across town, Charlottesville was exploding… it was good then to be standing in a unitive field of love balancing the hatred happening blocks away and it’s good to stand with you in love today and everyday with each of us invoking the beloved in our own authentic way… perhaps, you’ll join me in placing your hand on your heart and calling up the image of a relation you love… or, maybe, spend time in the company of a tree or play in water and squeal with glee or plant seeds of compassion and joy drawing down the courage of the leo lionhearts… whatever it is, float in devocean, the ocean of devotion with your wide open heart re-joy-sing in the dream of the cosm – peace in every moment… today with where we are in the venus cycle it feels so right to celebrate the magdalene and the sacred union she entered into with the beloved… yes, todayy seems just right as goldilocks would say…

“This magnificent refuge is inside you.
Enter.
Shatter the darkness that shrouds the doorway.
Be bold. Be humble.
Put away the incense and forget
the incantations they taught you.
Ask no permission from the authorities.
Close your eyes and follow your breath
to the still place that leads
to the invisible path
that leads you home.”
~ St. Theresa of Avila ~
in the gospel, Yeshua shows Mary Magdalene a vision of a map of awakening consciousness in the form of the The Tree of Life Within and the 8 gates and challenges we must go through to awaken and embody a more expansive consciousness…
see us walking in the soft light of sunset
the land is hot and dry under our feet
we know this land intimately as mother
there is an inward smile radiating through our interbeing
reaching us through the mirage of space/time…
like a mirror the beloved arrives inside our one cosmic heart
pure presence, warmth, unwavering vast love in our own wondrous heart
thank you, Magdala for leading us into the very depths of the love the beloved embodies…
may we dedicate the fruit of our practice
for the benefit of all sentient beings
and may all beings know peace in our one cosmic heart…
