Poetic Peace Pilgrimage – Year 7 – Day 229 – 8/1/2020

i put down roots today deep, deep down into the earth to listen for the naming of this moonth… i was going back and forth and finally settled on apocalyptic august reclaiming the original meaning of the word as revelatory and may it be so… may truth be unveiled, may we slow down into the albedo stage of alchemy with the main focus being inward and rooting ourselves deeply into the taproot, the source of the tree of life…

today as we honor this new beginning, let’s open our real eyes – our eyes of wonder and awe –  seeing everything as if for the first time and meander over to Mr Roger’s neighborhood for some of his sacred instructions, lessons that so perfectly mirror the sage words of perennial wisdom…

It’s okay to feel whatever it is that we feel

But our feelings aren’t an excuse for bad behavior

Other people are different from us—and just as complex as we are

It’s our responsibility to care for the most vulnerable

We can work to make a difference right where we are

It’s important to make time to care for ourselves

We are neighbors

may we all be caring neighbors for each other and may the wisdom of the divine feminine reveal and re-awaken original blessing reality – blessed be!
