Named Freely Flowing February 15 Love Statement

i also intend my life/our lives as a statement of love and compassion and love seeing all of us, all our relations walking the cosmos, being breathed by the cosmos in this sacred way…

in the USA, today is Presidents Day and my contemplation turns to leadership and how critical it is now, in this cycle of he great turning, for leadership to be infused with love and compassion…

Psalms 15 sings this contemplation beautifully…

who can be trusted with power,
and who may act in your place?
Those with a passion for justice,
who speak the truth from their hearts;
who have let go of selfish interests
and grown beyond their own lives;
who see the wretched as their family
and the poor as their flesh and blood.
They alone are impartial
and worthy of the people’s trust.
Their compassion lights up the whole earth,
and their kindness endures forever.

may we all embrace leading our lives from the most powerful energy there is, the energy of love and compassion…

Named Freely Flowing February 14 heart i-carry-your-heart

Dedicated to St Valentine, Patron Saint of Pilgrims

every moment is valentine’s, a celebration of love… every pilgrimage is journeying along the path with heart… every pilgrim is a poet on a journey deeper into the heart, a saunterer – a holy lander, spiraling ever more profoundly into the ground of being…

ee cummings has been a favorite poet of mine since childhood and this poem is the map for the poetic peace pilgrimage, for how we ride the cosmic wave of love, of beloved, for how we listen for our cosmic heartbeat and sing out the cosmic harmony of love…

every breath, every step, one of flowing love…

Named Freely Flowing February 12 Love Be the

yes, ambassadors of love, it all comes down to being love, period; for in the field beyond words is simply the frequency we vibrate in the vast wave rolling through the cosmos… it’s also the pearl of the practice of the poetic peace pilgrimage which we are sauntering together, walking to the wholly land, making the archetypal shero journey to self...

here’s an old sherpa’s map, a guide for being love and coming home to the heart…

Smile (Start My Internal Love Engine) with every breath, with every step, in every              moment, recommit to love…

Honor the flame within the center of your being by breathing in through our one                   heart fanning the flame with loops of thank you, thank you, thank you…

Embrace Joy and all that comes as hospitable host, befriend and embrace                            everything, all our relations…

Reverence and stand for truth wholeheartedly welcoming wounds and the                             wounded – the treasure chest of wisdom…

Open in ever widening spirals to all that is with a courage, a heart broken wide                  open for light to stream in…

Journey To

Spread for giveness from the stillpoint, love, peace and joy are here in this moment

Emanate grace, the harmony of the cosmic wave re-membering everything is grace

Love liberally, love liberates us all

Flow as cosmic wave rippling through the cosmos

Happy Trails!

Named Freely Flowing February 11 Love Scatter

another day on the pilgrimage of love, another easy way to be… as easy as breathing one two three… breathing in love, breathing out love, breathing in love, breathing out love, breathing in love, breathing out love… seeding/re-seeding, cycling/re-cycling the unitive field, ocean of consciousness, sea of love energy, cosmic oneness with the only energy there is – particles of radiant love forming one vast wave of light, the first emanation to pour forth from the great silence and travel, as do we, as a rolling wave of loving light energy… sometimes as a whirling dervish transforming everything in the path, other times as a stationary tower commanding stillness, always a wave of light flowing love through the cosmos, always a wave of love flowing light through the cosmos, seeding/re-seeding, cycling/re-cycling particles of love into the one radiant wave of light…

perhaps, you already practice this with everyone… if so, keep it up and if not, now’s the moment and this is our mission as ambassadors of love… and yes, if it’s too new to say this to all you come in contact with, say it to yourself, at least at first until you grow into your full stature of being who you are born to be… love walking around in form… and yes, i love you…

Named Freely Flowing February 9 Love Ambassadors

yes, we are… while celebrating Mardi Gras, or as i like to think of it as Go Wild Day, i’ve been humming and singing “When the Saints Go Marching In” and contemplating how we, as in all our relations, are saints and though every day is love day, our thoughts really turn to it around Valentine’s which is five days away, so why don’t we appoint ourselves, Ambassadors of Love and Light… of course, we’re free to keep the positions forever and to spread love and light wherever we are… i so love your joining me in this lovely mission which is in keeping with Pope Francis’s wish for Lenten sacrifice – give up our indifference to others…

yes, let’s generously throw kindness like confetti and smile at everyone and give out love liberally and…..

Named Freely Flowing February 8 Year-of-the-Monkey-2016

fortune has arrived, higher and higher year after year

welcome lunar year of the red fire monkey arriving with the new moon in aquarius on a day vibrating at a frequency of one, the number of new beginnings in a universal year with a frequency of nine and the ninth animal of the zodiac finishing the race…

every new moon gives us an opportunity to set intentions, to be clear about choosing the life we lead… just as aquarius pushes us in new directions, red fire monkey is adventuresome, playful, unpredictable, irrepressible, adaptable and loves exploring and branching out with joy and ease…

i’m choosing the life unknown, following red fire monkey as we quantum leap from tree to tree trusting in safe landings, sacred space to dance in stillness while breathing in nourishing our togetherness and breathing out love for all our relations…

i’m choosing to be life wholeheartedly, to believe something wonderful is being born in this new moment under this new moon in this quantum leap new year of radical transformation and instant moonifestation…

may this new year bring boundless opportunities to wildly explore every joy in life…

Named Freely Flowing February 7 moon new aquarius

Happy New Moon, Happy New Story

i’ve been drawing down the energy of the dark new moon pictured above all day and reflecting on this powerful portal while listening intently to her hum as a bird listens to the wind whispering directions… do you hear the call of the wild asking us to step up, to awaken more fully, to live the love we are as our prime responsibility? and, to follow that through with total trust in “all is well” empowering us to surrender to love with every breath…

i love seeing how the ranks of farmers of the heart are growing exponentially and the fields filled with love seeds are cross-pollinating in geometric progressions and more and more are feeling the love spreading like wildfire and joining in the dancing revolution, the returning home to love…

Named Freely Flowing February 6 Thay New Year coupletsomething wonderful is happening as we tread a watery path under the dark of the moon towards the lunar new year of the red fire monkey breathing in and out these new practice phrases from Thich Nhat Hanh’s beloved plum village… as we breathe in together, contemplate “Nourishing our Togetherness”, and “Protecting our Planet” as we breathe out… breathe in, breathe out, again and again these words as seed energy, intention, living aspiration we wish to nurture this year…

parallel verses or poetic couplets are an ancient tradition of the East and one that Thich Nhat Hanh continues into the present by offering a couplet on the eve of the lunar new year to inspire and nurture mindfulness practice for the year…  such a lovely way to welcome the new year and the new moon by seeding something wonderfull, onederfull…

what arises in you as you breathe into feeling something wonderful? as you breathe in nourishing our togetherness and breathe out protecting our planet, again and again… happy breathing!
