upon awakening, i feel i am home and grateful for the grounding, the anchoring in arrival, in the lightness of being no thing with nowhere to go and nothing to do… simply being the moment, this beautiful moment gathering in a field of exquisite beauty as a seamless wave of love encircling the cosmos…
in this moment, this beautiful moment, we savor and offer thanks to sky and earth and sun and moon and stars and ocean and to beloved for breathing us alive…
in this moment, this beautiful moment, we listen to beloved’s hum as we gaze into her flowing mirror pulling us home to the heart ever more deeply…
in this moment, this beautiful moment, we answer beloved’s call to return to the stillpoint of equanimity where we live in harmony…
in this moment, this beautiful moment, we breathe in the rhythm of the waves infusing every wild cell of our one body with radiant love…
in this beautiful moment…
after yesterday’s restorative sleeping beauty rest, i awaken in beauty for this new moon in gemini, this seventh moon of the thirteen moons known as the earth regeneration moon, to set intentions for this moment, every moment, this day, this moon…
as we relax into the stillpoint by deeply breathing through our one heart way down into the belly, the earth of our being, we contemplate what is it we value deeply and wish for all our relations throughout the cosmos… especially if no specific answers arise, trust the answers are unfolding in perfect rhythm…
now, let’s set an intention, a commitment, a tone… let’s use the four immeasurables prayer:
May all beings attain happiness and its causes.
May all beings be free from suffering and its causes.
May all beings never be separated from joy that is free of misery.
May all beings abide in equanimity, free from bias, attachment, and aversion.
~
bless the flowing waters and the flying merry sprites…
what a totally awesome pilgrimage day simply being a free and easy wanderer dancing around the cosmos, floating in the buoyant sea which is to say that i fell into the deepest lucid dream state for what seemed a brief, shining moment and an eternity all rolled into one, a seamless kaleidoscopic vision of shifting images connected by the delicate threads of grandmother’s gossamer web…
everything so crystal clear, so all connected in the stillpoint, the spaciousness of emptiness with nowhere to go and nothing to do… simply be open to what is…. open, open, open… to the sounds of silence emanating from the heart’s wellspring of wisdom…
yes, to this intention, this commitment, tn every moment, with every breath…
the original plan had me traveling for 24 hours and arriving in Portalandia late Wednesday night… i did spend the 24 hours traveling and only got as far as Chicago… today i awaken magically at 5:55 for a sumptuous feast of fresh fruits and nuts before catching my carriage (hotel shuttle) for O’Hare… I was giving myself 2 and 1/2 hours to get through the lines which actually took 25 minutes from being dropped off at the terminal to sitting at my gate!
so, i now have this amazing gift of 2 hours in this busy airport with hundreds of people passing by and so i SMILE to Start My Internal Love Engine and begin radiating love and blessings to everyone,,, what a way to spend a day!
Woo Hoo!! this peace pilgrim has another practice to follow, perhaps, you’ll join me?
boundless love, love, love. joy, joy, joy, peace, peace, peace…
welcome, new moon of jubilee june, a month devoted to celebrating the freedom we have in each moment, with every breath to choose love, peace, harmony, joy, grace, generosity, kindness, compassion, wisdom, patience…
thank you, first day of jubilee june for giving me so many opportunities to choose to respond graciously to the frustrations inherent in traversing the long and winding road home made so much longer by missing connections…
thank you, beautiful moment of new beginnings…
what a perfect moment to be blessing the space between us as the journey to the stars re-treat circle closes exactly as this moon of mysterious may closes as do thirteen moons of walking a transformational path of magic, transmuting personal mystory into cosmic Mystory (Mystery)… all of the moments of this magical mystery tour, this journey of life are right here in this moment, this beautiful moment…
of blessing the sacred space between us… the golden sea of love energy flowing through you, flowing through me, flowing throughout our one reality… wherever we are, we are always connected, always walking each other home for home is where the heart is and our one heart is everywhere, is all that is…
thousandfold thanks for blessing this space, thousandfold thanks for being belonging place, thousandfold thanks for your beauty and grace…
a day of re-joy-sing on the pilgrimage as we resound the new notes and frequencies anchoring them into our bodies and activating the inner pools of genes to come more alive and circulate in rippling waves throughout the light body and the great beyond raising the flow tide of consciousness and lifting and deepening the sails of our one mothership…
today is a day of rainmaking, of holy synchronicity… do you know the rainmaker story? it is a favorite of mine and has been for decades, this story of restoring circulation between the inner and outer flow of life is the central story of my life and it has played a crucial role in my miraculously being able to come to findhorn for this retreat on…. (drumroll) flow…
during a time of great drought, a rainmaker was asked by villagers of a neighboring province if he could help bring rain to their dry fields… they had tried many other approaches without success before reaching out to him…
the rainmaker agreed to come and asked for a small hut with a garden that he could tend… for three days, he simply tended the garden… on the fourth day, rain began to fall on the parched earth. when asked how he had achieved such a miracle, the master answered that when he came to the village, he had sensed disharmony within himself and the village… each day, as he tended the garden, he returned a little more to himself… when he returned to balance, the rain came naturally…
in moments of drought and disharmony, may we all go within and tend our garden waiting patiently for the rain…
how fitting that a Lakota seer speaks in 39 words the mission bringing me across the sea to the other shore for 39 symbolizes liberation and 39 is the age when i spent a summer in a tipi on Rosebud, a Lakota reservation contemplating this very same journey i now embark upon 25 years later, a journey foretold at 21 and at 2, a journey that’s been sometimes quietly and sometimes dramatically unfolding every moment, every beautiful moment…
perhaps you’ll join with me in re-membering your journey to the stars by breathing in deeply through our one heart and down, down, down into the belly… into the stillpoint of creation, the watery womb, stable ground of all being, home to peace passing all understanding, beloved community’s belonging place… injoy this moment, this beautiful moment of gifts arising from the sea… flowing through you, flowing through me, flowing from the buoyant sea, the buoyancy of love’s frequency, the hum of cosmic harmony…
thousandfold thanks for our flowing in beauty…
