today’s dance in the rain is one of great pain offering the gift of deep diving into the dark depths and feeling the way into the cracks, the gaps to listen with the inner ears and to see, to real eyes what is quickening, what is ready to be born from the ashes coming through the breath of life as prayer, as blessing…

breathing infinite gratitude deeply through our one heart,
may we all be safe. may we all be loved. may we all be held. may all be well.
may we feel the support encircling us with a thousand angel wings.
may we rest gracefully in the beauty of this moment…

last night as i dropped into dreamtime, i dissolved and became moss green water flowing like velvet into the great beyond… today i awaken awash in the divine light intent on seeding this beautiful moon energy throughout the cosmos… may we, in every moment, especially the difficult ones, feel the sustenance, protection, comfort and boundless love of the divine light that surrounds us always…

Beannacht (Blessing)

On the day when
the weight deadens
on your shoulders
and you stumble,
may the clay dance
to balance you.
And when your eyes
freeze behind
the grey window
and the ghost of loss
gets in to you,
may a flock of colours,
indigo, red, green,
and azure blue
come to awaken in you
a meadow of delight.

When the canvas frays
in the currach of thought
and a stain of ocean
blackens beneath you,
may there come across the waters
a path of yellow moonlight
to bring you safely home.

May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.

may we all celebrate a moment of grace right now… place your hand on your heart saying, “i love you”… now, radiate this love out like a rainbow encircling the planet saying thank you, thank you, thank you for all small mercies… enjoy this moment of grace and another and another… always living grace…

we are on a sacred mission today… traveling through the scenic gorge, through the carved out core of our earth mother along her flowing waters until we come to a site along the Columbia welcoming purification… simple ceremony yet so profound filling me with a grief as deep and ancient as the waters… may this blessingway serve as a healing balm imbuing harmony into the waters of life…

Beannacht
(“Blessing”)

In honor of St Patrick’s Day

On the day when
the weight deadens
on your shoulders
and you stumble,
may the clay dance
to balance you.

And when your eyes
freeze behind
the grey window
and the ghost of loss
gets in to you,
may a flock of colours,
indigo, red, green,
and azure blue
come to awaken in you
a meadow of delight.

When the canvas frays
in the currach of thought
and a stain of ocean
blackens beneath you,
may there come across the waters
a path of yellow moonlight
to bring you safely home.

May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.

(Echoes of Memory)

a good day is like a good life and today is overflowing with goodness… an early morning swim in the ocean of being… listening deeply for cosmic hum… dancing with dear friends… breathing in the rhythm of the waves… being a living circular bridge with all that is connecting heaven and earth… standing tall and swaying gracefully like the trees blowing in the wind… singing songs springing from our ancient mother whispering words of wisdom to be and let be, to soar freely and to love abundantly… blessed be…

We all come from the Goddess
And to Her we shall return
Like a drop of rain
flowing to the ocean

reaching out our hands to one another and opening our hearts, let us dive deeply into the mother waters…. the deeper down we go, the more we are cleansed and purified, one with flow… let’s rest in this moment at the bottom of the sea listening for the great mother’s wisdom on how to be…

live free

like a mountain, like a tree

standing tall for all to see

we are here for each other eternally

blessed be…
