You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.

~ Rumi ~

our special pilgrimage with the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing honoring our transcendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the 12 nights of Christmas delivers the quintessential dream gift under last night’s,our 3rd night’s sun of the airy light of Gemini who flies in as hummingbird, guardian and keeper of joy, piercing through the mists of illusion to enlighten…

this iridescent dancer of rainbow light came calling in the wee hours with a clear message about awakening to and weaving the radiant light we are into the mystery of the moment, the sacred space we breathe into every moment… join with me now in taking flight on the wings of hummingbird, creative imagination…

breathe in, breathe out through our one heart connecting deeply with the divine, dancing, diamond light always sparkling in the center of being… as you see hummingbird dancing toward you, meet and merge becoming one with luminescent, shimmering light… now, dream your song of creation, a beautiful world where all relatives are respected and living in sacred reciprocity… breathe in deeply this heart of creation, drink in the overflowing love and compassion, feel hummingbird blessing us all with rainbow magic of peace and harmony…

may we all answer the call to dance as light waves…

i’m trusting your journey on the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing, honoring our transcendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the 12 nights of Christmas is fruitful especially under last night’s,our 2nd night’s sun of the earthy light of Taurus…

on the second night of Christmas, my true love (Beloved Taurus) gave to me, a dream of… a new song of the earth being sung by the underground root system run riot as grandmother spider spins the web of life of all our relations and white buffalo calf woman moves the web of life aboveground with prayers of abundance inspiring sacred herds of buffalo to once again dance across the plains organically nourishing the earth as they empty themselves to replenish the soil… and the earth begins to sing the new song of the earth… of all beings of the earth vibrating at one frequency of love re-joy-sing in being harmony and in rhythm with divine flow…

may we all recognize and honor the sacredness of every life walk and connect in deeper ways to life’s meaning and the values of peace, love, joy and harmony…

thousandfold thanks, great spirit, for whispering this song of the earth of our being…

namaste’

ah, pilgrimaging with the caravan of re-joy-sing began last night… i’d love to hear of your dream gift, here’s mine of this journey into light, this awakening of our one illuminated heart…

on the first night of Christmas, my true love (Beloved Aries) gave to me…

a rainbow halo around the sun

bringing joy and peace to everyone

open hearts now re-joy-sing spontaneously

awakening our light song at celestial frequency

we soar on love’s sunbeams in wild ecstasy

~

Beloved also gifted me with the lyrics to Ode to Joy, a Beautyway of Synchrony…

Joyful, joyful
We adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day…

and, Beloved gifted the most exquisite day of being, simply being fullheartedly/foolheartedly present in every moment, in every beautiful rainbow trail moment…

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 6 – Day 9 – 12/25/2018

Posted on December 25, 2018 by Jo Beall

on the eve of the feast of the incarnation, i flew around the cosmos painting peace, love and joy in the skysea; today on this magical day of presence, we land on the sands of the great salt lake and embed our astonishing light of being intentions for this moment, for every moment being a feast, a celebration of joy, love and peace…

i’m trusting today has been a day of taking joy for you on yet another feast day celebrating the light, a magical moment when the portal is open for our re-membering who we are… radiant suns of of our one cosmic heart…

on these twelve nights of the 12 Days of Christmas, i invite you to join me once again for our annual special pilgrimage, the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing, honoring our transcendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the next 12 nights to the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas…

on the first night of Christmas, my true love (Aries) gave to me, a dream of… on the second night of Christmas, my true love (Taurus) gave to me, a dream of… on the third night of Christmas, my true love (Gemini) gave to me, a dream of… on the fourth night of Christmas, my true love (Cancer) gave to me, a dream of…

so, you get the idea? each night our dream will be a gift from the sun signs, the light, guiding us, mapping the route along the rainbow trail as we re-member and re-birth more and more of whom we really and truly are…

i take joy with you, re-joy-sing in this oft-quoted salutation from Fra Giovanni in 1513…

I salute you.

There is nothing I can give you which you have not,
but there is much that while I cannot give,
you can take.

No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today.
Take heaven.

No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present instant.
Take peace.

The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy.
Take joy.

And so at this Christmastime,
I greet you, with the prayer
that for you,
now and forever,
the day breaks
and the shadows
flee away.

today’s holi day journey is the quintessential poetic peace pilgrimage, one flowing moment of intoxication peppered with a string of hiccups, of spirits of peace, love and joy transmuting conflict, fear and sadness while carrying our one heart in a continuous blessingway deeper and deeper into incarnating, embodying the all that is…

thank you, thank you, thank you for this moment of grace, this day of pause, this season of dancing in stillness, merging the opposites into a seamless tapestry, a kaleidoscope of rainbow colored images of the many and the one…

dolphin dancing and leaping like waves flowing in the ocean… pulled by love out of my safe cove into the wider ocean of wonder, beauty, grace… i love this journey unfolding in such a mysterious, serendipitous, synchronistic way…

how i love this annual magical ride pulled by shamanic horses of the heart and skysea, our ever present dolphin guides who love taking us into the ocean depths and space heights where we feel the magnetic energy of the still full moon in Cancer on this day that hums to the tune of presence and calls us to listen and attune to the cosmic frequency calling us home, home to the heart…

let us venture now to the river of joy below the river through that well worn wormhole, the rabbit hole, and encounter a communion of ancestors, so many members of the village impacting our destiny so profoundly… yes, today’s holi day journey is an ancestor blessingway overflowing with real eyes vision, realeyezations flowing from our sister moon about the new world we are breathing in where all our children are smiling in delight as we grow into a communal culture of light turned on by soular power to be our highest and deepest purpose… to fly on the wings of love and to ground ourselves into the roots of belonging always being love, joy, peace and harmony…

breathe in this magical moment, this moment of wonder from our earth mother through our one heart and out to sky father who whispers it back to the great mother who breathes us again and the seamless cycle of return flows infinitely through the beyond…

one breath, one moment, one step of always being love…

happiest of trails…

“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
~ Rumi ~

Was a full moon in Cancer under the Capricorn sun whispering directly into Rumi’s soul when he wrote these words? As we breathe into and draw down the energy of this powerful full moon, we, too, are called to be in touch with our most deeply held values and walk our truth talk… YES! Sing leaping off the cliff, being wild and free, mad as in intoxicated on love… YES! Sing this abandon is what i’ll do with my wild and precious life… YES! Sing to coming home, coming home to the heart, true refuge, belonging place… YES Sing to the full moon in Cancer – may we all answer her call walking wholeheartedly in love in this moment, every moment…

on this third day of celebrating soulstice, of standing still with the sun, of celebrating the return of the light, join me at stonehenge, a sacred space in the heart chakra of pachamama of celebrating high holy days…

what a great inward journey we’ve been on these last few weeks and now we arrive home in the first soular gateway to plant seeds of intention, seeds that will ripen and birth our truth…

let’s take this moment of sacred pause to breathe together… get comfortable, breathe naturally and with each inhale, inspire your strengths, your beauty, your couragge and your wisdom…

now, place your hnds on your heart wombspace, your belly, the core of our being breathing these qualities, these virtues, these gifts, these presents, this presence deeply in to every wild cell in your body while listening for the echos reverberating from the deeps…

as we listen, let’s begin spiral dancing down, down, down into a field of snow where we can see stonehenge ahead through the mists and a gathering of we-moon from across the cosmos to celebrate light… feel your ancestors here and all of us energetically holding hands and feeling the divine light of love passing from one to another to another…

oh, she who births the light under the cosmic full moon of the divine feminine, teach us and show us the way to birth our truth…

as we pause and listen, release all to pachamama surrendering and softening into gaia, earth mother…

notice now the first light beginning to appear over the stones warming our hearts and seeding what we are to birth…

thank you great mother, we bless and honor you…

namaste, dear beloveds…

Posted on December 22, 2018 by Jo Beall

a day of bathing in divine feminine energy radiating from our last full moon of the year… while our sun stands still, this moon dreams in the rhythm of the waves igniting our one tender heart into a blazing bonfire warming the stone cold…

it’s cold and rainy in my hood, so perfect to gather with sangha all over the planet, wave after wave of songs of lovingkindness as hundreds of thousands chant metta in unison, a wave of tsunami proportions streaming compassion across and over and through the cosmos…

may we be filled with lovingkindness

may we be well

may we be peaceful and at ease

may we be happy…

Don’t you know yet? It’s your light that lights the worlds. ~Rumi~

I’ve been standing still with the sun for 24 hours on this auspicious high holy day, one of my favorite days as we turn around the sun…

~

singing light into the dark

connecting with the stillpoint of creation

surrendering to love’s cosmic hum

~

today, while standing still with the sun as we birth and nurture light and reflect and resound, a song from childhood echoes inside, This Little Light of Mine… And, yes, as the words direct, i’m gonna let it shine, shine on the old story burning it away leaving us free to draw down the power of the Cancer full moon and the Capricorn sun to be the new cosmic story…

while sitting in the dark with Hecate, goddess of the darkness, holding our hand and heart as we take this soulstice moment of deep pause for re-membering and clean-sing and re-joy-sing the moons of 2018, we see through shero’s eyes and realeyes what we experienced as disappointments, obstacles, challenges all carry a seed, a gift for us to unwrap… a present that delights and surprises pointing the way to be peace, love, joy and harmony…

To the Four Winds and the Four Corners of the Earth

To the Falling Rain and the Fire in the Sky

I call on you in Deep Respect and with Great Gratitude.

I call upon you to Support, Guide and Protect
all who receive this prayer.

At this time of quiet and stillness

When the Light of the World is dim

And the Darkness around us deep

May we be still and listen for the silent sound of the
seed of Illumination

That lives, always, within our heart and soul and mind.

May we seek now to awaken to more of the Light within.

For in the dark even the dimmest light can be seen.

In darkness, the faintest flicker of light

Is enough to guide us and show us the way.

May the inner light we now rekindle burn strong and bright.

May it expand and grow throughout the coming year

And may we continue to see, feel, share and
shine our inner light

Into the World

Even as the outer light returns.

And so it is!

Edward Mills

Posted on December 20, 2018 by Jo Beall

on this, the cusp of soulstice, the day before the sun stands still, i find myself re-membering a lucid dream of profound stillness of many moons ago where i stared into a towering wave stretching across the earth and reaching up to the heavens… suspended in the stillpoint of the ocean of being, WE ARE in this moment, this beautiful moment…

body, speech and mind in perfect harmony

our one heart floating along in rhythm with the waves of the sea

awestruck, we are transfixed by this still mountain of water

with the power to break us, to break our heart wide open

to welcome a new/old world, a new/old way of being

present… now… in the moment…

standing together in love

~

today, re-membering and reflecting on the still wave and a thousand other images from this turn around the sun, i am once again transfixed, in awe at the synchronous spinning of the waves, such a divine, rhythmic threading of the web of life… for one brief instant, i see simply breakdown, then, in the next flash the transcendent function kicks in transporting us to the field out beyond, the field of breaking open, breaking free, breaking through into harmony…

feel our one heart smiling as we dance along the spirit path together deeper and deeper into the sacred wheel, spiraling into rainbowville…

magic is on the way…

as we, like the sun, slow down and still invoking the power of this portal, this doorway into the divine feminine and release into the fire of spirit what no longer serves replacing that with an invitation for new seeds’ germination…

Looking behind I am filled with gratitude. Looking forward I am filled with vision. Looking upward I am filled with strength. Looking within I discover peace. ~Q’ero~

thank you for filling this day with quintessence, of love, of gratitude, of beauty, of courage, of light…

~

awesome,totally awesome, flowing in beauty before us, behind us, beside us, below us, above us, within us, thank you for singing our walking prayer…

thank you for being present in our every step as we wander into wonder

thank you for breathing us into being from the well of great silence

thank you for blessing us as we journey deeper into grace

thank you for blessing our homecoming into sacred space

for deep within is memory

of an ocean running free

round a field of rainbow light

cosmos of awe, garden of delight

thank you for breathing us into longing for the distant shore

thank you for breathing out belonging of oneness evermore

thank you for returning us now to the belly, womb of singing cells

thank you for breathing us in and out in rhythm with ringing bells

resonance resounding throughout the galaxy

resonance resounding, blessed harmony

awesome,totally awesome, flowing in beauty before us, behind us, beside us, below us, above us, within us, thank you for singing our prayer…
