Poetic Peace Pilgrimage – Year 7 – Day 188 – 6/21/2020

If you are seeking, seek us with joy
For we live in the kingdom of joy.
Do not give your heart to anything else
But to the love of those who are clear joy,
Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair.
For there are hopes: they are real, they exist…
I tell you: suns exist.

~ Rumi ~

some moments these words are easier to re-member than others and they are always true, paradoxical and true… the last few moons have been filled with challenges on so many levels and like ocean waves they rise and pass away and the ocean of joy still remains, peace at the center of the dancing stillpoint… for in this moment, this beautiful moment of celebrating the astonishing light of being, we are one vast sunflower field of radiant love… yes, suns exist and moons and rains and clouds and tears and pains and joy in this moment, in every moment, in every wild precious moment…

today i’m keeping it short and sweet

honoring a space of soulstice re-treat

happy trails to all ’til we meet again

on the pathless path that will never end…
