i awaken today with the clear intention that inspires a forty day purification in preparation for a bearing witness pilgrimage to memorialize suffering and transmute the trauma residues into creative compassion… the clear intention is seeing beauty in everything, being a holding container, a beholder, a hollow reed of love and peace and joy…

in this moment, this beautiful moment, we savor and offer thanks to sky and earth and sun and moon and stars and ocean and to beloved for breathing us alive…

in this moment, this beautiful moment, we listen to beloved’s hum as we gaze into her flowing mirror pulling us home to the heart ever more deeply…

in this moment, this beautiful moment, we answer beloved’s call to return to the stillpoint of equanimity where we live in harmony…

in this moment, this beautiful moment, we breathe in the rhythm of the waves infusing every wild cell of our one body with radiant love…

in this beautiful moment…
