May I Be a Guard

May I be a guard for those who need protection
A guide for those on the path
A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood
May I be a lamp in the darkness
A resting place for the weary
A healing medicine for all who are sick
A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles
And for the boundless multitudes of living beings
May I bring sustenance and awakening
Enduring like the earth and the sky
Until all beings are free from sorrow
And all are awakened.

Prayed every morning by His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet

 the words quoted above inspire today’s  holding space for the benefit of all that is… and what a day it is, the 1999th day of writing this peace everyday no matter what, the space for being naked in the now – holy synchronicity! – five years ago on this day this was also literally true as i found myself in the middle of  thousands of Portalandia’s naked bike riders on their annual jaunt…

four years ago on this very day, another amazing adventure unfolded and still unfolds as i took off  for parts unknown with everything humming along until my chariot died on a busy thoroughfare foreshadowing quite an initiation to come…

interestingly, the re-birthed chariot, baby blue was feeling the anniversary and when i went out to start her today, she was once again dead as a door nail…

so, as baby blue comes back to life, i feel myself shedding the skin that no longer fits to don a new skin, a skin more expansive and deeper, a skin vibrating in every cell at the frequency of peace with nowhere to go as i’m now here, naked in the now, totally cool with what is…
