dancing with a child today
seeing the world in a different way
through her eyes of innocent wonder
every moment awash in splendor

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Day 218 – July 22, 2014
today, i journey through the heart to the heart chakra of our planet for sacred re-creation which was ever so called for by a dream of having my pocketbook taken leaving me without identification…. for many days, i feel an inner fire burning away anything that does not serve and the dream points to just that… when i recheck my bag, i see my wallet is there along with the most vital id…
218 days on the journey of a lifetime, an amazing deepening into being – present to, trusting in, surrendering to and aligned with the divine… a flowing in beauty being the soul of the space, a dancing grace… thank you, thank you, thank you…

today’s pilgrimage is one of going down to the River Beloved and have her wash over me conducting me into her watery depths for some dreamtime of re-membering/membering and re-creating/creating mystory/mystery… iridescence immersion has a nice ring and an even better feel as i dance around the sun and watch as the moon draws down opening a field for planting anew… What is wanting to be birthed in you?

Last night, on the eve of beginning a week long celebration of the Turn Around the Sun Re-Creation ManiFestival, Portalandia and i enjoy a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness the ancient Shinto ritual of Mikagura Sacred Dance. Involving an imaginative journey across time and space, we are transported to the pond in the Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine in Kamakura, Japan where the spirit of kami is enshrined. For some 2000 years, this sacred dance has been performed to please the kami, last night was the first performance in the continental United States.
Beginning with the lighting of the bonfire, we are purified with a branch of Sakaki or evergreen followed with chanting by the priests to invite the kami and more chanting offering hospitality to the kami and ending with chanting to send the kami back to their origin.
Mikagura transports us into a space in harmony with the heavenly bodies, truly, a dancing with the stars….
May we all revere the spirit in nature and live in peace…

In honor of a beautiful pilgrimage for all, sacred words from the Dine’
In beauty may I walk
All day long may I walk
Through the returning seasons may
I walk
Beautifully will I possess again
Beautifully birds,
Beautifully joyful birds
On the trail marked with pollen
may I walk
With grasshoppers about my feet
may I walk
With dew about my feet may I
walk
With beauty may I walk
With beauty before me may I walk
With beauty behind me may I walk
With beauty above me may I walk
With beauty all around me may I
walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of
beauty, lively, may I walk
In old age, wandering on a trail of
beauty, living again, may I walk
It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.

After an early morning pilgrimage into the city to give of my blood and sweat – forgive me, in the South women don’t sweat or even perspire, we glow – sans tears, so wonderful to journey home to treat and re-treat myself into the Blissness Blue Moon Lodge and conjure my favorite zen garden where i breathe in and luxuriate in this reflecting pool one with all that is…

It is unseasonably warm in Portalandia so i teletransport to the coast for ocean breezes and cool waters… As i comb the beach, i come across a delightful treasure – seafoam baubles like jewels along a rainbow trail – my heart smiles a nd sings and dances delightedly in this moment of abundance, riches at my feet as i walk the beautyway…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Day 212 – July 16, 2014
I came across a pothole on the road and leapt in going down, down, down, down until i reached the sea where i found a colony of spiders spinning bubbles of silk which function as gills. Love Spider Woman as a creatrix in the sea, love Great Mystery…

traveling with an invisible passport stamped indelibly with the places to go,
we enter the interior spaciousness of the divine akashic ocean
dancing the meandering path of sublime belovement
aligning with our one heart resonating in all

we enter the interior spaciousness of the divine akashic ocean
involuting like a quantum leaping dolphin
aligning with our one heart resonating in all
evoluting like turtle with slow, deliberate steps

involuting like a quantum leaping dolphin
breathing in rhythm with the waves
evoluting like turtle with slow, deliberate steps
such a practice of devotion opens the flow of grace

Walking the Rainbow Trail of Treasure Seeds, following the bliss of heart desires, is walking in wonder, flowing in grace… After many days of outer pilgrimages, it feels so balancing to dwell inside today listening to the whispers of the soul… Love coming home to the heart with every breath and sharing beauty way…
