“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring–it was peace.”

Happiest of Turns Around the Sun, Ms Radiance!

yes, my precious grandpuppy, this being of excitement i used to get to spend most every day with, this quintessentially exuberant spirit who always greets me so joyously with the most unconditional love and is the embodiment of the female face of Buddha – Tara rolled into this cute furball of invincibility turns six today while another of my favorite beings, Ram Dass, is on his 92nd continuation day… i wasn’t sure if i’d have it in me to write tonight after spending a good portion of the day at the healing temple on the hill and i’m so glad i do because she is such a beloved…

this sweet little furball clown is also such an amazing spiritual teacher of  being in the moment, of unconditional love, of joie de vivre and fills me with lovingkindness and compassion moment by moment pulling me into the practice and paradise of puppy consciousness where every moment is an adventurous moment of arrival into the new and fresh, a coming home to this moment of presence of interbeing, every sound and smell a compelling curiosity calling us to engage fully in unfolding mystery…

deep bows and boundless love onederfull beings…

and, holy synchronisiddhi! as i re-member this day of april is often a magical day of awakening and radiance long before nia graced our lives…

yes, on this day eight turns around the sun ago while on sacred pilgrimage to the heart chakra of  the earth, i awaken at 4:44 on what was then Easter Monday with everyone of my 70 trillion cells vibrating at the most alive frequency re-membering today we head off for sunrise at stonehenge… arriving in the mists, it looks like our magic bus has pulled into an ET Terminal where we get on a Hogwarts trolley to transport us more of the way… disembarking into pea soup, we walk the last steps to the ancient temple… A proper guard informs us not to touch any of the stone people and one of our sherpas reminds us to find our stone…

as we enter through a holy portal, we are teleported into the great beyond… i walk around the stone people as a labyrinth and drink in the most glorious sunrise ever witnessed as the sun transfigures into rainbow dragonfly weaving a web of luminescent light shimmering more brightly with every breath… if this were my last moment, it would be perfect… to just drink in the sun on this holy ground with our ancestors is pure ecstasy… my cup runneth over and flows into dancing and singing in joyous celebration of all our relations…

as we leave the temple, i begin to feel like Harry Potter with a strange throbbing between my eyes, yes, stonehenge is the gift that keeps on giving as my third eye more fully activates and with this expansion and deepening, the ability to see through the veils of illusion and into the invisible realms of radiance opens more and more unfolding and unfolding into this moment, this wild and precious moment of awakening into the radiance of interbeingness…

“to lift up in the heart, that which is worthy of praise, this ts the greatest blessing”

~ the Buddha ~

yes, the caravan of re-joy-sing is on the move on this twenty-fifth day  of awakening as an imaginal cell returning to the sea to dance rainbow mystery and celebrate the sacred web of life and the graciousness of the rhythm of the waves…

thousandfold thanks, Beloved for invoking safe passage and divine protection…

“I who am the beauty of the green earth and the white moon among the stars and the mysteries of the waters,

I call upon your soul to arise and come unto Me. For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe. From Me all things proceed and unto Me they must return.
Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold — all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals. Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.

And you who seek to know Me, know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: for if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without.

For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.”

today on the feast day of St Francis, a celebration of radiance is oh so perfect and even more so as we are on the cusp of the full moon, eleven hours away…

after bathing in the radiance of a puppy being of love in ecstatic motion, we take off for the Moonviewing Festival of O-Tsukimi beginning in the tea house with a sacred  ceremony reminding us to go back home and shine… so, we saunter around the garden as the sun sets and the moon rises in the east bathing in the potent transformative light waves of  this moon of mastery manifestation calling in the field of imaginal cells we are for us all to breathe together, to breathe in the beautiful world that always is and is always becoming…

are you hearing her/our breaths? feeling the enlivening? luxuriating in the radiant waves washing us and polishing the mirror of our one heart?

may we awaken to our radiant true nature…
