Poetic Peace Pilgrimage – Year 7 – Day 303 – 10/14/2020

just as this beautiful creature began as an independent single imaginal cell and ran to meet and connect with other imaginal cells to form a cluster resonating at the same frequency and becoming an interdependent multiple imaginal cell, may we join together as beloved communion of imagination  to transform and meet these challenging times…

“If you are mindful enough you can see the Buddha in anything, especially in the sangha. The twentieth century was the century of individualism, but we don’t want that anymore. Now we try to live as a community. We want to flow like a river, not a drop of water. The river will surely arrive at the ocean, but a drop of water may evaporate halfway. That’s why it is possible for us to recognize that the presence of the Buddha is the here and now. I think that every step, every breath, every word that is spoken or done in mindfulness—that is the manifestation of the Buddha. Don’t look for the Buddha elsewhere. It is in the art of living mindfully every moment of your life.”

dancing life wholeheartedly with more and more loving presence, more and more trust and more and more surrender into the river of divine flow and towards all that strengthens our wild wings…

On this 2nd Night of the Nine Nights of the Goddess, we pray asking for good fortune and longevity in our lives…

We offer our love and gratitude to the second Navakarri Goddess. We pray for your protection and blessings on this second night of Navaratri. You are our Divine Mother, and as your children, we ask that you bless us with good fortune, prosperity, and a long, joyful life.

How synchronistic that on this day of asking for blessings of good fortune and a day on the pilgrimage, like every other, of running like hell, aka dancing wholeheartedly, towards all that strengthens our wings, that my eye surgeon says he’s never seen such a miraculous recovery, that no one else with such a traumatic injury has any vision. I’m reminded of years ago doctors calling me a walking miracle; now, i get to be a seeing miracle as well… So, life is moving fortuitously here in Portalandia, aka Graceland, and i feel my clipped wings of four months ago regenerating gracefully… thank you, thank you, thank you…
