in this moment of eternity, this melodious moment of…
being a hollow reed
an instrument of peace songs
harmony fills the heart
in this moment as i rock the baby the only words i hear are from the light reminding us to love the baby, the new life that wants to come through, the creative spark awaiting our kindling, the organic sprout awaiting our nurture… in this moment, this melodious moment…
today, as well, i am longing for the sea, so i float like a cloud in the buoyansea imagining i am an instrument of peace… a water harp, a hollow reed, a true refuge of emptiness/spaciousness where divine mother waters flow through entraining every cell to hum her cosmic grace frequency…
deep moments of listening fill the bowl/chalice/heart/womb with haunting melodies echoing/reverberating throughout the canyon lands of being… in this silence, etherial music flows as gently as water through the reeds…
ah, this day of being a hollow reed, an instrument of peace… tuning into the rhythm of cosmic hum, relaxing into the running waves that come, savoring, especially, the hohum… meeting each moment as a friend, breathing out and breathing in, vibrating at the frequency of a grin… knowing the greatest gift we offer to each other is our openhearted presence, may each moment be sacred space of reverence with each step a soulful dance of kissing the earth…
and, may we all feel the deep peace of the stillpoint that is always alive within, thousandfold blessings, beautiful friends…
let’s seal this sacred space with the reciting of the poem for the twentieth day of the forty days of cultivating peace = people emerging and cultivating equanimity….
“When the earth is in distress, it attunes itself with love and sends out a prayer.
The True One hears it, and with total ease is pleased to give Its strength and steadiness.
It sends a command to the Power of Rain, and the rain pours down in torrents.
The wealth of grain and corn grows thick.
A person cannot describe its value.
Oh Naanak, appreciate the Divine Identity.
You, Divine One, cause the life-giving food to be given to all the creatures.
Eating this, peace grows, and the cycle of pain comes no more.”
