Poetic Peace Pilgrimage – Year 9 – Day 97– 3/23/2022

welcome, well come to day 53 of a season of peace and to a day of watery loving presence re-treat, a day of savoring the quintessence, the essence of our essence… love, sweet love… as i float in the spaciousness of the stillpoint, i re-member a poem that takes us flying on the wings of celestial seaeagle to be lifted like a prayer and to be one long emanation and incantation of lovingkindness…

Eagle Poem

To pray you open your whole self
To sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
To one whole voice that is you.
And know there is more
That you can’t see, can’t hear
Can’t know except in moments
Steadily growing, and in languages
That aren’t always sound but other
Circles of motion.
Like eagle that Sunday morning
Over Salt River.  Circles in blue sky
In wind, swept our hearts clean
With sacred wings.
We see you, see ourselves and know
That we must take the utmost care
And kindness in all things.
Breathe in, knowing we are made of
All this, and breathe, knowing
We are truly blessed because we
Were born, and die soon, within a
True circle of motion,
Like eagle rounding out the morning
Inside us.
We pray that it will be done
In beauty.
In beauty.”

traveling this peace pilgrimage through the exterior landscape brings one deeper and deeper into the interior, a coming home to the heart where it is clearer and clearer, moment by moment, that we are always being led… boundless love, co-hearts… 

Poetic Peace Pilgrimage – Year 8 – Day 97 – 3/23/2021

everyday is a water blessing day for water is life, so let’s continue celebrating water with the whole world in one gigantic wave across the planet on this 53rd of a season of peace joining in the worldwide mission to make sure everyone has access to safe drinking water… right now, many of the world’s poorest do not have access to one of our most essential and valuable natural resources…

in many areas around the world, taps, pipes and wells simply don’t exist and if they do they’re not affordable for many people which means drinking dirty water is the only option with dirty water being responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year…

we, like all other bodies of water, can change course and follow a sustainable direction by first believing we can and next acting on the belief with action by loving our waters for they are our mother, our ancestors and are the web weaving all our relatives into an amazing tapestry… we have a duty of care to protect and nurture our grandmothers and grandfathers and mothers and fathers and children who give us life…

let us all in this moment of eternity breathe deeply together, yes, conspire and envision and answer the urgent call to action for a world where everyone drinks freely and safely of our life giving relative, water, instead of the present figure of only.01% of water is potable… here’s a first step whenever using this sacred elixir…

 Prayer When Drinking Water

“As I receive this water and it flows through me,
May it become medicine dispelling all ills,
May it become medicine revealing the wisdom within and through out.
I offer apology for any harm done through wrong speech & action

As this water flows through me and becomes vapor,
May it purify the atmosphere
May it nourish the wisdom potential in the people
I offer apology for any harm done through wrong speech & action

As this water flows through me, and returns to the water table
May it remove the impurities of chemicals placed within the water
May the water be made new again
May this water become medicine for all beings in this and all worlds

welcome, welcome to day 53 of a season of peace which synchronisticly falls on world water day and even more synchronisticly, the day we celebrate the astonishing light of our being with source calling me on this third and final day of the bounteous 14th whalewitnessing re-treat to swim in the timeless zone’s waters of life… let’s all take this moment, this breath to reset and to celebrate water = we are the eternal radiance, astonishing lights of beingness made to flow into impermanence, uncertainty and the unknown as holy seaworthy vessels…

UN World Water Day on March 22 is a part of a worldwide mission to ensure everyone has access to safe drinking water. Right now, many of the world’s poorest do not have access to one of our most valuable natural resources.

We, like all other bodies of water, can change course and follow a sustainable direction by first believing we can and next acting on the belief with action by loving our waters for they are our mother, our ancestors and are the web weaving all our relatives into an amazing tapestry. We have a duty of care to protect and nurture our grandmothers and grandfathers and mothers and fathers who give us life.

May we all envision and answer the urgent call to action for a world where everyone drinks safe water instead of the present figure of only.01% is potable. Here’s a first step whenever using this sacred elixir…
