one of favorite spots in the garden for children of all ages is the zigzag bridge where one naturally slows down being lulled and drawn inward by the background sound of falling water…. today was one of those special moments when the guardians of the reflecting pond sensed some of their own were on the bridge… koi swim out to greet children greet koi… neither cold nor rain dampen the high spirits of this family reunion… walking in wonder along the rainbow trail…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 127 – 4/22/2015
perfect way to spend earth day…. with young haiku poets…. moving from the four walls of a classroom to a garden like that on the island of the rising sun…. re-membering the very first “earth day” forty-five years ago and hearing what it means two generations later to our children… these young souls born into sustainability, realizing the preciousness of water and fresh air, appreciating all our relations and the importance of working together to honor our island home… perfect way to spend earth day…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 126 – 4/21/2015
a day like every day… filled with presence… every moment experiencing the visible and invisible, all that is presencing… breathing in, going deeper into the well, re-membering, embodying the light waves of love which radiate out into the cosmos with every out breath seamlessly returning as we breathe deeply into our one heart again and again…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 125 – 4/20/2015
i forever will be on this pilgrimage of beauty into the heart and bow to everyone i meet for their exquisite beauty in traversing this meandering river… whenever i start to falter or am simply to tired to take another step, i see you and feel your encouragement always thanking and celebrating you with every breath…
~
flowing in beauty in the center of the wheel
re-membering, realizing only love is real
everyone i meet is teacher to me
inspiring compassion as the way to be
thank you, thank you, thank you i rise up to sing
being one with resounding celestial bells that now ring
proclaiming the message to all my relations
to love one another in the highest vibrations

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 124 – 4/19/2015
we are on a sacred mission today… traveling through the scenic gorge, through the carved out core of our earth mother along her flowing waters until we come to a site along the Columbia welcoming purification… simple ceremony yet so profound filling me with a grief as deep and ancient as the waters… may this blessingway serve as a healing balm imbuing harmony into the waters of life…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 123 – 4/18/2015
first new moon of the new astrological year… intensifying the energy of new moon, new story… a day of contemplating what is to be planted for this rebirth, this new story… we are rapidly approaching critical mass to make the shift that gaia already has, to re-member who we are and to serve that knowing wholeheartedly…
in joy, contemplate this new moon, this new story and how it will sing you and dance you and come alive…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 122 – 4/17/2015
re-membering the well, re-membering it well, living as one in the heart of our beloved earth mother… everyday, a re-birthday party in celebration with eternal family…
a week ago, i flew across the pond, following a migratory pilgrim route to Portalandia… a week of savoring every morsel of the pilgrimage which i will forever as our pilgrimage is forever…
always changing, always the same…
I AM to WE ARE…
WATER (We Are The Eternal Radiance)

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 119 – 4/14/2015
I come today to the river below the river
reflecting in silence in a circular way
calling for complete surrender
only love is allowed to stay
~
reflecting in silence in a circular way
always standing in center in balance with all
only love is allowed to stay
medicine wheel so powerful your call
~
always standing in center in balance with all
being one with deep mystery
medicine wheel so powerful your call
to come home to the heart forever free
~
I come today to the river below the river
reflecting in silence in a circular way
always standing in center in balance with all
being one deep mystery
