as i make my pilgrimage today to the temple on the hill, i feel this joy bubbling up from deep inside, welcome joy! translation: i’m going to the hospital to see the doctor and delight springs unbidden – what a beautiful gift, thanks be thanks to all relations for this moment, this beautiful moment…

as i feel the warmth of the outer sun, i’m drawn to the inner sun and as i look out of the window of the busy waiting room and see the flowing river below, i’m re-membering the river of joy below the river always present, always flowing inside of me, inside of you…

settling down beside this river of joy, feel the connection to the always present source, always flowing love through us connecting us all as one ocean of compassion… feel our one heart beating resonantly, singing in soulful harmony…

i love this pilgrimage to the hospital transmuting into a pilgrimage to a hospitality center transmuting to a pilgrimage of the heart transmuting to a pilgrimage to our one heart… i love being breathed into this moment to simply be… to open all doors of perception to the sacred space of grace, beloved community’s belonging place…

bowing to all our relations, thousandfold thanks for walking home together making this ordinary moment, extraordinary…
