Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 4 – Day 284 – 9/26/2017

Named Sacred September 26 Acceptance Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage Trout Lake Abbey 2014+

today is  one beautiful moment of amazing grace, all the sweeter for the long and winding road  that the stars guided by pulling the thread of fate, the invisible nourishing cord attached to the soul long before the umbilical cord appears…

today is  one beautiful moment of amazing grace, all the sweeter for returning to this sacred dream space of reflection to contemplate this deep passage of surrendering into love, of coming home to the mystery of interbeing… yesterday, i lived the quest of to be or not to be until re-membering flowed… we live in the multidimensional paradox of both/and, to be and not to be, to interbe…

thousandfold thanks for the crisis of sight with the concurrent danger of blindness and the opportunity of all seeing and thousandfold thanks for moving my feet one more step and one more step and thousandfold thanks for opening the heart a little wider giving a lens to see the quintessential purity of everything…

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 4 – Day 192 – 6/26/2017

Named Joyfull June 26 Grace

as this pilgrim approaches the second anniversary of daily/nightly walking a pilgrimage of grace,

may we all rise up singing…

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found;

Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;

’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,

His Word my hope secures;

He will my Shield and Portion be,

As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess, within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun forbear to shine;

But God, who called me here below,

Will be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise

Than when we’d first begun.

~

This gift of love is given to source for the gift of life more abundant…May this gift bless all our relations as it expands and returns a thousand thousandfold…

 

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 3 – Day 63 – 2/17/2016

Named Freely Flowing February 17 Silence Contemplation

today, i didn’t even have to walk outside to inspire contemplation of how amazing life is… it began with a dream of walking a maze and arriving at an amazing wedding feast… when awake, some news that i’ve been patiently awaiting arrived in my inbox and the outside sky joins with me in tears of joy and celebratory rain dancing…

what did amazing look like for you today?

let’s share a moment of silence together re-membering amazement, anchoring amazement into the marrow of our being empowering our seeing wonder, being wonder with every breath…

Named Organic October 28 Silence Contemplation

in this moment, this beautiful moment, breathe in deeply earth mother’s love

stand silently in the sacred heart center, breathe out expansively to the skies above

listen intently as the wind whispers soulfully, singing us home to the river below

in this moment, this beautiful moment, open with abandon to the inner glow

always present lighting the way, always present every moment of the day

amazing grace, great mystery, we breathe you in gratefully
