Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 6 – Day 323 – 11/4/2019

Named Now! 4 2019 Rainbow-Star-Sky

May you awaken to the mystery of being here and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence. May you have joy and peace in the temple of your senses. May you receive great encouragement when new frontiers beckon. May you respond to the call of your gift and find courage to follow its path. May the flame of anger free you from falsity. May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame and anxiety never linger about you. May your outer dignity mirror an inner dignity of soul. May you take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention. May you be consoled in the secret symmetry of your soul. May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 5 – Day 157 – 5/22/2018

Named Mahalo May 22 Dream-Cave-Heart

“The world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our feet, and learn to be at home.”
– Wendell Berry –

the journey of one inch today takes me to Stillness, a place, a sacred space where i love to sojourn especially during the ebb tides when life goes dormant, slowing down, grounding deeply into dark earth… holding the tension and embracing the pause ensures seeing the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel… do you see feel taste hear touch the radiance?  breathe deeply through our one heart and you are there for ever in the meditative waves of  the stillpoint where great mystery sings us, moves us, breathes us glides us through the tides of life…

moment after moment of being present fully

trusting, surrendering, opening the flow of  great mystery…
