stepping forward, the path behind vanishes…
sand painting scattered by winds to the sea.
rainbow bubbles floating upward towards sky,
promising ever unfolding mystery.
~
at the end of this trail when breathing it in,
blessing the portal, embracing it as friend
I shall feel I’ve just begun
and I shall dance circles around the sun…

a pilgrimage humming in the rhythm of 7 – connection, celebration, abundance, harvest, festivity, community, contemplation… dolphin dancing and leaping like a wave flowing in the ocean… pulled by love out of my cove into the wider ocean of wonder, beauty, grace… i love this journey unfolding in such a mysterious, serendipitous, synchronistic way… i love sharing the journey with you… i love walking home together… mahalo!
one whole turn around the sun of flowing in beauty on the poetic peace pilgrimage which is quite simply breathing into presence, being the now, embracing what is and…
along this path of heart, this path of purification, this path of polishing the heart, i keep coming back with every breath, with every step into infinite love and gratitude, coming back home to the heart where i experience over and over again a…
how i love this practice of pilgrimage, being a poet on an interior deep sea journey where we are all walking each other home…
and we are all…
thanks for showing up with every breath and sharing the journey…
flowing in beauty
in the field of divine grace
always being the soul of that place

magical miraculous moment as we dance along the rainbow trail with rain softly kissing our faces and sun warmly embracing our bodies… out of the mists from the depths of the canyon, an echo of harmony resounds and colors the sky… we re-member we are boundless like the arc encircling pachamama and beautiful like the unchained melody of our multiverse…
a perfect moment in the rainbow state with hearts wide open to what is as the wind whispers bestowing blessings for all as we walk the sacred path of oneness…
mahalo… aloha…
it’s a beautiful thanksgiving in the neighborhood… sun, sand, barefootin’ on soft green grass, gathering with the green sea turtles, gazing into and warmed by sun, cooled by brisk trade winds off an awakened sea, every step a walk in beauty, every breath, a blessingway, connecting with beloveds, old and new, communing with all our relations, celebrating the bounty of pachamama… aloha and mahalo!
for almost 3 years i’ve been dwelling in the abundance of infinite love and gratitude and today’s pilgrimage is just that… thank you for the most generous daughter and friends gifting a pilgrimage to the quintessential space of abundance to dance in beauty… the spirit of aloha flows through every breath of this blessingway, every step of this beautyway…
awaken to whispering winds, whistling winds, blustery winds whipping around and around… like a dervish wildly dancing, i am transported into sacred space to listen to spirits, to drink them in, inspiring, in spiriting… may this moment, this wild, precious, perfect moment go on forever and ever… wrapped in flowing waves, embraced by the sea… always changing, always unchanging… rooted in present moment, trusting in winging it, knowing love is the way…
gathering around redwood tree
with budding, beloved community
we bless this space, our sacred grove
with each of our relatives a treasure trove
~
touching the tree touches we
re-membering our roots – oneness reality
standing in center, standing for we
we stand with you and witness beauty
~
bridge to the heavens and earth far below
now lit by beloved community’s glow
wherever we wander, we are always home
re-membering by heart our redwood dome
~
for this last day of soulful september’s blessingway walking the rainbow trail on the poetic peace pilgrimage, a perfect message appears…
Iraq War veteran Jacob George recently died by suicide. His poem was recently read posthumously at the White House and at the Climate Convergence in New York City at the UFPJ workshop.
Support the Troops
by Jacob George
“we just Need to support the troops”
is what they tell me
well, this is from a troop
so listen carefully
what we Need are teachers who understand the history of this country
what we Need is a decent living wage, so people ain’t cold and hungry
what we Need is bicycle infrastructure spanning this beauteous nation
what we Need are more trees and less play stations
what we Need is a justice system that seeks the truth
what we Need are more books and less boots
what we Need is love
for every woman and man
from southern Louisiana
to the mountains of Afghanistan
Now, it’s true
The troops need support
the support to come home
they need treatment and jobs
and love for the soul
see
war ain’t no good
for the human condition
I lost a piece of who I was
on every single mission
and I’m tellin’ you,
don’t thank me for what I’ve done
give me a big hug
and let me know
we’re not gonna let this happen again
because we support the troops
and we’re gonna bring these wars to an end
~
May Great Spirit’s rainbow blessing flow in beauty through all my relations…
as i reflect on this past month where the earth of being has been so moving and opening, i re-member a moon of showing up daily for blessingways trusting in inner guidance and surrendering more and more deeply to Beloved… a moon of wild outer and inner pilgrimages to places i’ve never been before always accompanied by supportive guides… a moon of flowing in beauty being the soul of the space wherever i am… a moon of dancing in the rhythm of the waves… infinite love and gratitude to all my relations for sharing this most incredible journey…
