today, under the almost full moon of enlightenment el canto hondo, the deep song, the melody arising from great silence hums incessantly throughout the cells of being inviting re-treating into the stillpoint for a day of being presence, stillness, trust, devocean, a day of letting go, of opening to cosmic flow, of gathering the quintessence for leaping into the unknown…

thanks be for the cosmic hum, the ringing of the bell entraining other bells to ring, the dancing of the soul in the stillpoint of the cosmos, sacred space at the core of being, true refuge of emptiness, home sweet home, garden of the radiant wave where we return to ebb and flow with every breath, in every moment…

sinking down, syncing into, softening and opening to the wonders of grandmother’s weaving us into a seamless tapestry, an awesome weaveolution, co-creative wespace, belonging place… home….

where being a buddha body in that one place

is being a verb moving in grace…

balan-sing, dan-sing, re-joy-sing and more

real-eye-sing, synchroni-sing, tao-sing on the other shore

simply being a buddha body in that one place evermore…

~

thank you for walking home with me along the pathless path disappearing into the sea of love energy’s rhythmic waves of ebb and flow, of impermanence, of always being and becoming buddha nature…

The path is not long, but the way is deep. You must not only walk there, you must be prepared to leap.
– Hildegard of Bingen ~

~

yes, softening into love, merging with flow, dancing openness requires great heart/courage to leap where the valorous dare to go…

and what blessings arise when we align with the great mystery animating the cosmos…

~

The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you really are.

~ Carl Jung ~

~

yes, take this moment to simply be, savoring beloved’s breathing thee… feeling the support of universal community, a friendly universe of buoyancy… dancing you, dancing me, deeper and deeper into the sea, into the sea of great mystery… the boundless ocean of love energy…

under the radiation of the enlightenment moon now waxing full, may we all be free to be buddha nature… as we are bathed in thousand thousandfold blessings, may we feel the wellspring of joy always singing in our core whispering words of love…

om shanti…

are you hearing The Beloved’s love song echoing through the canyons and valleys of our deep earth beingness? trust in the journey, rest and relax, tune into the tiny space of the heart, into true nature, beloved community where we all belong to each other…

~

It has no membership, save those who know they belong.

It has no rivals because it is non competitive.

It has no ambition – it seeks only to serve.

It knows no boundaries, for nationalisms are unloving.

It is not of itself because it seeks to enrich all groups and religions.

It acknowledges all great teachers of all the ages who have shown the truth of love.

Those who participate, practice the truth of love in all their being.

There is no walk of life or nationality that is a barrier.

Those who are, know.

It seeks not to teach, but to be, and by being, enriched.

It recognizes that the way we are may be the way of those around us because we are that way.

It recognizes the whole planet as a being of which we are a part.

It recognizes that the time has come for the supreme transmutation, the ultimate alchemical act of conscious change of the ego in to a voluntary return to the whole.

It does not proclaim itself with a loud voice, but in the subtle realms of loving.

It salutes all those in the past who have blazoned the path, but have paid the price.

It admits no hierarchy or structure, for no one is greater than another.

Its members shall know each other by their deeds and being, and by their eyes and by no other outward sign, save the fraternal embrace.

Each one will dedicate their life to the silent loving of their neighbour and environment, and the planet, will carry out their task, however exalted or humble.

It recognizes the supremacy of the great idea, which may only be accomplished if the human race practices the supremacy of love.

It has no reward to offer, either here or in the hereafter, save that of the ineffable joy of being and loving.

Each shall seek to advance the cause of understanding, doing good by stealth and teaching only by example.

They shall heal their neighbour, their community, our planet and living beings in whatever form they take.

They shall know no fear and feel no shame and their witness shall prevail over all odds.

It has no secret, no arcanum, no initiation, save that of true understanding of the power of love and that, if we want it to be so, the world will change, but only if we change.

All who belong, belong; they belong to the Church of Love.

beautiful moments of listening fill the bowl/chalice/heart/womb with haunting melodies echoing/reverberating throughout the canyon lands of being… in deep silence, music from the ethers flows as gently as water through the reeds…

what a sweet day being a hollow reed… tuning into the rhythm of cosmic hum, relaxing into the running waves that come, savoring, especially, the hohum… meeting each moment as a friend, breathing out and breathing in, vibrating at the frequency of a grin… knowing the greatest gift we offer to each other is our openhearted presence, may each moment be sacred space of reverence and each step a delightful dance of luminescence…

may deep peace of the stillpoint always be alive within, thousandfold blessings, beautiful friend …

a day of rocking the baby and coming deeper and deeper into the sacred space of the heart…. another pilgrimage into slowing down rhythms and being peaceful repose… free to be fully present in the eternal moment of now, open to lovingkindness circling through the web of life…

may we all come together in this moment to breathe the infinite love we are through our one heart blessing the cosmos as the cosmos blesses all that is in a seamless circle eternally…

we are a vast sea of love energy… tuning into the awesome frequency is as simple as a smile to start my internal love engine and some deep heart breaths to slow down and embrace and reverence this moment, this beautiful moment which opens our one heart ever wider to radiate love…

may we all live a meaningful life, one of purpose, of wevolution, of being compassion and loving kindness with every breath, with every step tuning into and dancing the frequency of awe… in the potent field at the stillpoint where there’s only the dance, the dolphin dance of unconditional love, of exquisitely fluid ease and grace, of wholeness in the buoyantsea while side by side the lava lake roars underground to awaken us to the fires of purification we know are coming…

deepest bows and thousandfold thanks for this blessed day, this surrendering what’s outgrown to make space for the new, for the true… may we always embody the dream of the dolphin – being joy, being love, being harmony…

Posted on May 12, 2019 by Jo Beall

welcome to the astonishing light of your being day which coincides with mothering peace day, a day many countries around the world celebrate as mother’s day on the second sunday of may… in the United States, the origins of the official holiday go back to 1870 when Julia Ward Howe – an abolitionist best remembered as the poet who wrote “Battle Hymn of the Republic” – worked to establish a Mother’s Peace Day. Howe dedicated the celebration to the eradication of war, and organized festivities in Boston for years….

her call for women to arise remains electrifying one hundred and forty-nine years later… we need to return to the original focus – that of promoting world peace… this Mother’s Day, honor your mother by contributing to the “great and general interests of peace” both at home and abroad… when 1000 mothers come together calling for peace, harmony becomes the frequency of consciousness…

may all mothers of invention, no matter your gender, come together being peace now…

awaken to a mysty day in this mystical moon of may on the eleventh sunrise under a waxing half moon already in the radiation of the full moon of enlightenment when buddha pours out a thousand thousandfold blessings…

such beautiful dreamtime in our lighthouse cottage by the sea, such deep peace from the running waves, such joyful delight watching the sea lions frolic on the nearby haystack…

today i celebrate the daughter and grandpuppy giving me life daily as we saunter around this land of the sea whispering emphatically, time to be free by shedding the constricting snake skin for one with plasticity in flow with cosmic rhythm…

today i am whisked off to the land of the sea, tierra del mar, for a mothering peace celebration of beauty, a re-treat of devocean, that’s devotion at/of/for/by/to the ocean…

we arrive and I AM home… om… where we hear the roar of the ocean and are greeted at our lighthouse haven by a deer as we meander to the sea…

we venture on this annual re-treat for the thirteenth time to be one with the seataceanpeople, the whales and dolphins, attuning to their sonic field and drinking in the dream of their soul songs… what a delight to have these melodies flowing through the ocean of being, these haunting melodies inspiring re-membering, these beautiful sounds of silence transporting us home sacredly, secretly, silently, softly, surrenderedly, synchronisticly to the place of true belonging, the stillpoint of creation where there’s only the dance of the sounds of silence…

trees dancing… birds singing,,, winds whispering… sun shining… doe welcoming… sand kissing soles… tides rushing in… moon waxing… stars sparkling… clouds floating… water falling home… planets orbiting… puppy leaping… communing deeply… gaia’s heartbeat pulsing… flowing in the rhythm of the cosmic hum…

may we dance the peace pilgrimage

planting seeds of devotion with every breath

while watering our world with compassion with every step

for the benefit of all…

today is another day calling for silent re-treat, a day of letting go, of surrendering wholeheartedly to the creative process, of creativity have its way of creating each moment… it is a day of quintessence, the essence of our essence… love, pure love…

today, the empty cup is overflowing with boundless gratitude to all teachers of love…

every moment, every relative, every element, every sound, every direction, every smile, every connection, every unraveling, every fall, every rising, every breath, every turbulence, every stillness…

deepest bows for this rhythm of kindness in a land of lushness, in a place of fire where we open to bearing witness to this breath of creation and this breath of creation and this breath of creation…
