I live my life in widening circles

that reach out across the world.

I may never complete this last one,

but I give myself to it.

I circle around God, that primordial tower.

I’ve been circling for thousands of years

and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,

a storm, or a great song?

~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

today, i stand still in the center of the wheel reflecting on the last forty-five day cycle beginning in early july with lionsgate being put into motion and the new moon and first of the triple eclipses followed by a deep pilgrimage of bearing witness and honoring pain as a rite of passage for another turn around the sun whirlwinding into the full moon of the guru and lunar eclipse and the portal of lionsgate  and the new moon and last of the eclipses with this steady influx of light culminating in yesterday’s celebration of the thirty-first anniversary of harmonic convergence…

whew! what a very interesting moment we are in as we circle around what is and who we are in ever widening circles demonstrating that we, like the cosmos, are ever expanding and we have it in us to face into the pain, the suffering, the despair of  a world of  uncertainty putting love into every action…

yes, today’s the day to stop the world, to stand still in the center and listen to all the messages of the whirling winds…

return to the breath being still and fully present in this beautiful moment being a mantra of thanksgiving, being a falcon of free flight, being a song of joyous delight…
