on this day 63 of a season of peace, i write again of the necessary revolution in this sacred moment of great turning and cosmic rite of passage… the revolution i write of today is one of consciousness, a bold adventure the cosmos invites us to explore as foretold in other moments of eternity by the grandmothers…

there came a time when the grandmothers noticed it was the moment to focus on the good of the village and to remind the earthlings of how to be… they called in the spirits of the ancestors and the teachers and the unborn generations and the spirit of fire to kindle a flame which they nurtured and tendered and placed in the center of the wisdom council where the villagers sit in circle…

the grandmothers called on all the relatives to take a pledge repeating these words… in every action, in every thought, in every decision, i promise to hold the good of the children of all beings in this generation and for seven generations hence and this is my sacred vow…

imagine the world of beauty we inhabit with all of us tending the inner flame supported by the communitas of the invisible realms holding in our one heart and living out this sacred calling to always put first the good of the whole, to do what is best for the children in every thought word and deed…

let’s take a moment to embody this vow… the invitation is for us to close our outer eyes and tune in with our inner vision to the eternal flame within as we follow our breath noticing how our breath is in rhythm with the waves of life, with the tides’ ebb and flow, the waning and waxing of the moon, the changing of seasons all inextricably interconnected with the rhythms of mama gaia’s breath… breathing in and breathing out… love… light… as we continue to breathe in from Pachamama, notice if there is any tension in your body and if so, shake it off and get all loosey goosey… breathing in deep relaxation into the body, breathing out an ecstatic ahh… breathing in, I smile… breathing out, i start my internal love engine…

now, let’s go deeper inside to connect with where we carry our soul light… do you feel it in your heart? crown? 3^rd eye? throat? soular plexus? belly? root? Take your time… it may look like a beautiful candle flame, a burning ember, a flashlight, a lantern, a whirling vortex of pure white light… however your soul light appears and feels, rest assured it is always shining brightly…now, look very closely at your light and see silver threads emanating from your soul light… we are going to follow these threads finding any and all fractures and splinters to heal, to whole, to bless and bring home… look for the threads and follow them back and back and back through all dimensions… you may find 2 or 3 or several hundred, simply follow them looking at each one closely, healing it, blessing it and bringing it home one after the other and notice with each fragment returning home into the circle of unconditional love how your soul light is brightened a thousand fold with every fragment that returns home… the healing happens so quickly with each thread so happy to be re-woven into the gr8 tapestry of soul light that is more and more luminous with every re-union… take this moment and luxuriate in the warm embrace of the astonishing light of your being,,, re-member, you can return here any time – we are the eternal radiance, we are the luminous shining ones we’ve been waiting for…

and then, peace prevails on earth… blessed bee…

living from the one heart

with every step a thanksgiving

and each breath a prayer

welcome, well come to day 63 of a season of  peace and to another day of dreamweaving crystalline peaces for this phase of the journey… we are still in the portal of the first new moon of this turn ’round the sun, the moon of spiritual guardians humming to the sacred frequency of the angels, a moment of eternity to gather across the cosmos and together breathe in, conspire the new… join me now in perfuming the field…

Invoking the Light of Grace

in the name of the Great Mother, we invoke benevolent streams of universal light to come and enfold us in a soft cocoon of love’s transforming grace… COME COME COME… we invoke subtle realms of more expansive and deeper vibration to infuse this coalescing energetic matrix with the purest frequencies of harmony, balance and stability aligned with the field of redeeming grace which we weave, ever so gently, in, through and around us now and to bless us with qualities of enduring strength and resilience… we now invite the Holy Spirit to enter into the deepest regions of our thoughts and feelings, assumptions and beliefs where we offer up all of our resistances, attachments, pains, stress, anxiety and suffering to our indwelling Divine Presence… Holy Spirit, please help us to see our personal circumstances through the eyes of our soul… shift our perceptions into right understanding so that we pass through our difficult times with more poise and equanimity dwelling in the deep and abiding comfort that comes from re-membering who we really are… embodied expressions of divinity… thousand fold thanks for the love and support flowing through the river of great mystery into every cell of the one body, every thread of the web of life…

thanks be for our hearts being softened, our minds being purified, our words being more tenderly spoken, our thoughts extending love to every living thing, our actions being a blessing unto the world, our souls shining throughout our expression and our being continually humbled, aligned with the earth of our being… Beloved of all life, please saturate us with wave after wave of transforming love and grace bringing greater comfort and understanding to every soul who desires it moving us more deeply into your embrace now so that we may be consoled as one… thanks be for Divine Light and its containing matrix being imperishable, eternally sustained, all powerfully active and ever expanding and unfolding… we seal this invocation in Cosmic Peace…

hover over us, beloved, center us in grace…

deep bows and thousand thousand fold thanks…

Nobody who finds himself on the road to wholeness can escape that characteristic suspension which is the meaning of crucifixion. For he will infallibly run into things that thwart and “cross” him…

~ CG Jung ~

today, as many of us across the globe honor this day as Good Friday, a (w)holy day in (w)holy week, i contemplate what crucifixion means and where it leads… i find this Jung quotation about being on the road to (w)holeness necessitating crucifixion so right on for on each of our paths, aren’t we led daily to the cross roads where we are given the choice to dissolve into and serve our greater self who responds in kind with wholeheartedly entering the human realm? isn’t this cross the true cross, the sacred stillpoint in the tiny space of the heart where every dance begins, where we real-eyes the gift of our suffering, of our bearing whatever is with grace, is what leads to the deepest peace of the flowing river of joy?

deep peace of the running wave be unto you…

i awaken today on this second day of arrived april with a song singing me… proud mary…

“If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don’t have to worry ’cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to giveBig wheel keep on turnin’
Proud Mary keep on burnin’
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the riverRollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river…”

so, here we are rolling down the river of life on this auspicious 108th day in the seventh year which is 2299 days in toto and last night i featured the holy fool, #22 in the tarot… by the way, tonight i get to see i played an april fool’s joke on myself last night calling it 3/31 rather than 4/1…

now, welcome, welcome to day 63 of a season of peace, a day of rolling down the river of life the rhythm of i have arrived, i am home in the present moment, a slowed down, mindful moment walking in the footsteps of awakened, arrived beings…

this rolling river picture is of the metolius, to get there from my cell you travel on route 22, the number of the holy fool, a bodhisattva, an awakened being of grace, and arrive at wizard falls traveling on a bit to get to the threshold of our cabin in the woods on the banks of the mighty metolius… as we enter our home sweet home, we are met with messages to enjoy this moment and simplify… what a pleasure and joy to swim in this stream in this moment, in every moment, always arriving home to enjoy this moment and simplify, come home to the essential as we collectively all swim in the stream of initiation separated from what we have known, dying to the old, breathing in the new where all our relatives are one being happy to give…

breathing in happy to give,,, breathing out letting go…

Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river…
