welcome, welcome to day 15 of a season of peace which auspiciously coincides with this being a moment of celebrating the astonishing light of your being on this day celebrated for the last fifteen years as Self Love Day when we re-member to put on our oxygen masks first by breathing through our central channel deeply into the belly and the earth below and the vast skysea above and finally, we injoy another beautiful day of gathering the quintessence, the essence of love as ambassadors of love and light on this rapturous day of delight…

another day on the pilgrimage of love where we are given the opportunity to live this day as a day with a simple 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, the ocean of consciousness, the 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 lighthouse 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…

“…help me to live this day quietly, peacefully. To lean upon Thy great strength trustfully, restfully. To wait for the unfolding of Thy will patiently, serenely. To meet others peacefully, joyously…”

love love love love love

what an enlightening day this 14th day of a season of peace is and filled with so many synchronisiddhis beginning this morning with being in a circle including Gandhi’s granddaughter discussing quantum physics of the wave mechanics variety with its emphasis on complementarity and underlying process echoing all the ancient wisdom traditions and then moving on to a joint celebration of Darwin and Lincoln and Frederick Douglass who share today as a birthday though there is controversy around Douglass’s birth date… with Darwin coming from a family that for generations had worked for abolition and Douglass, one of our foremost abolition advocates who persisted with Lincoln for the Emancipation Proclamation, there are things to sing about in the midst of all the stormy seas…

underlying the call to action today, is this pivotal moment where once again we find ourselves at the brink and looking through the lens of many disciplines for a way to hold the tensions and not act from the unworkable dominance culture consciousness that brings us to the brink of the possibility of another mass extinction… what a joy to be with scholars and others who have really read Darwin and quote him accurately – he was not about survival of the fittest and selfish genes; he was about cooperation and collaboration and love and mutual aid and so just as his theories provided a middle way during the earlier Cold War, his ideas of culture and evolution being about partnerism provide wise guidance for today… yes, let us bring back his focus, wisdom tradtions’ focus, chaos theory’s focus and not relive the robber barons of the gilded age’s false narrative of “Social Darwinism” with its empfasis on dominance and agression which was the opposite of Darwin‘s theory of oneness…

in this moment of eternity of great turning, let us re-member who we really are – living beings, relatives who have lived in peace and harmony for the mutual aid of all for long periods throughout our time here…

“The souls of people, on their way to Earth-life, pass through a room full of lights; each takes a taper – often only a spark – to guide it in the dim country of this world. But some souls, by rare fortune, are detained longer – have time to grasp a handful of tapers, which they weave into a torch. These are the torch-bearers of humanity – its poets, seers, and saints, who lead and lift the race out of darkness, toward the light. They are the law-givers and saviors, the light-bringers, way-showers, and truth-tellers, and without them, humanity would lose its way in the dark”  ~Plato~

thousand fold thanks for the weird people, creative rebels, imaginal cells of real-eye-sing… you astonishing lights of being who rekindle our flame by setting their lives on fire and fanning the flames of and for all relatives in the field… it has been said that when living in a dark time such as we are living in, it is the creatives, those with the courage, the heart to follow their weird, their genius, their sacred call, to devotedly give themselves to the soul song that inspirits, these are the ones, the ones awakened to the mystical level who thrive in the dark times; the good news is that we all have the potential to real-eyes our true self…

i love that this quest ion of following your weird that showed up so emphatically as i began my seventh decade this go around is resurrecting even more emphatically as i take flight into the eighth decade with the energy of infinity as the melody… let’s come together now and conspire, breathe together deeply as we visual-eyes ourselves in the most sacred of spaces, the crystal we are and embody the energies of the blessingway below…

~ Beatitudes for the Weird ~
by Jacob Nordby

“Blessed are the weird people
—poets, misfits, writers, mystics
heretics, painters & troubadours—
for they teach us to see the world through different eyes

Blessed are those who embrace the intensity of life’s pain and pleasure,
for they shall be rewarded with uncommon ecstasy.

Blessed are ye who see beauty in ugliness,
for you shall transform our vision of how the world might be.

Blessed are the bold and whimsical,
for their imagination shatters ancient boundaries of fear for us all.

Blessed are ye who are mocked for unbridled expression of love in all its forms, because your kind of crazy is exactly that freedom for which the world is unconsciously begging.

Blessed are those who have endured breaking by life,
for they are the resplendent cracks through which the light shines.”

~

may we all be blessed to be weird devoting ourselves to embodying this manifesto for mystics as we wander in wonder throughout and within the crystalline clear light of the boundless skysea of love energy…

and, may we be weirdness, daimons for each other giving strength and consolation fully real-eye-sing that the cup of life is a cup of sorrow that opens the compassionate cup of joy warming the cup of sorrow that opens our one heart ever wider to the compassionate cup of joy endlessly…

welcome, welcome to day 12 of a season of peace, day 10 of this moon of fledging in this moment of blessed unrest and great turning… are you wondering about peace on earth when we see so much falling apart, so much suffering? it is said that confusion and uncertainty are the raw materials of wisdom and understanding, that every birth is messy and painful and then once the new creation emerges, our one heart melts and we sing at the frequency of ecstasy, of moving out of the stuckness of turbulence and unrest and into a peace passing all understanding… and so it is…

may the provocations of the outer and inner worlds awaken us more deeply to our seeing provocations as pro vocations impelling us into our vocations, our callings to be who we truly are – rainbow lightwaves of love and peace re-joy-sing that in this moment of presence, in every present moment, peace prevails on earth regardless of the outer dramas…

let us be ambassadors of peace in this moment of eternity, in every moment of eternity humming, re-joy-sing, dancing the anthem of the poetic peace pilgrimage…

“Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be
With earth as our mother
Family all are we
Let me walk with my relative
In perfect harmony Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now
With every step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment
And live each moment
To take each moment
And live each moment
To take each moment
And live each moment
In peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin
With me”…

blessed bee…

thank you, thank you, thank you, thousand fold thanks to all our relatives including and not limited to human people, tree people, stone people, star people, four-legged people, insect people, mountain peope, moments of eternity people, all bodies of water people, cloud people, rainbow people, moon people, planet people and on and on forever and ever for everything is sacred and is our teacher… thanks be for devoting ourselves to peace, to harmony, to loving unconditionally, to being joy and compassion and listening generously and living openheartedly and smiling and bearing witness and connecting with source as source breathes us and being curious and openhearted and grounded in the beauty of the earth and the grandeur of the skies and for standing for love when you are too tired to stand and for shining your lightfor others to see their way home in the dark…. boundless love, beloveds and boundless blessings and gratitude…

welcome, welcome to day 10 of a season of peace with the sun still shining through the clouds in the energy of  rebirth and the riotous revolution of love stirring underneath in the river below the river…

like the wild geese i watch from my window, i am attempting to fly home to source and it is quite a struggle in this moment of eternity with so much turbulence in the outer world; this last moonth feels like the testing frequency has raised geometrically calling for more and more breathing through the central channel into the core of the earth body, both mine and our earthmother’s, to connect to the love everything is even in this momentwhen it seems so far away…

thank you, mother mary for the balmthis poem brings to weary muscles… breathing in, peace all around… breathing out, harmony at home… in, peace; out harmony…

today was a day of peace action with rallies around the world to demand an end to the drumbeat of war with Russia over Ukraine and to hold teach-ins around the country to resist the normalization of war and demand that not a single bullet or gun be sent to Ukraine and no new troops or arms to Eastern Europe – we must use diplomacy and negotiation and stop the drumbeat of war…. in this moment of eternity, let us surrender and soften into the embrace of the sheltering arms of the cosmic ree of life breathing into our bellies, sacred space of wisdom and stillpoint of peace, on the seventh day of celebrating a season of peace…

“Peace to all beings
Whether near or far
Known or unknown
Real or imaginary
Visible or invisible
Born or yet to be born.
May all beings
Be well and happy
And free from fear.

Peace to all beings
Within and beyond the imagination
In the world of ideas
In the world of memories
And in the world of dreams.
May all beings
Be well and happy
And free from fear.

Peace in all elements
Of earth, air, fire and water
Fulfilled in space
Peace.

Peace in all universes
From the smallest cells in our bodies
To the greatest galaxies in space
Peace
And light rising

Peace to all beings
Within each being here
To those beings that have been in the past
And to those beings that are yet to be in the future
May all beings
Within each being here
Be well and happy
And free from fear.”

(Buddhist Prayer)

on this day of peace, re-membering the quintessential peace pilgrims, thanks be for our tuning into the timeless frequency of being peace in this moment, in every moment of eternity…

welcome to day 6 of a season of peace… come sit with me here in the field out beyond taking in the beauty of this moment of eternity…

it is said it only takes 144,000 sentient beings to hear the call and turn toward el canto hondo, the deep soul song, the dream of the earth to establish a re-newed paradigm of reality singing in the frequency of harmony throughout the ocean of being…

how i love meeting you in this field of what we deeply value, this sacred space of interconnectedness…

here, we witness and celebrate this collective hearing and following the call to come back home to spirit, to dissolve into spirit, to be so at one with spirit that all borders vanish… we are present as love, the animating energy of all that is, the saving grace that simply opens the door to love… trusting that in this surrendering, this softening, this turning toward pachamama, the unifying spirit breathing all our relatives alive, we are transported to the stillpoint, the place of creation where the dance of the new begins…

in this moment of eternity as we return home to spirit and dissolve into be so at one that all borders vanish between me and thee, we come in gratitude offering our pains and suffering to be used as compost to nourish the earth… we come as love, the animating energy of all that is and knock on the door asking this door to open to love, simply open… in this trusting, this surrendering, this turning we are transported to the stillpoint where the dance begins, yes, we’re coming back…
