today as i contemplate this International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, my reverie turns inward musing on disarming inner nuclear weapons, tending to our one heart in these troubled and gifted times…
in the mysterious space of liminality when awakening from resting in the invisible realms, i love being rocked in the lap of grandmother breathing in her boundless love and breathing it out gratefully…

In the name of daybreak
and the eyelids of morning
and the wayfaring moon
and the night when it departs,I swear I will not dishonor
my soul with hatred
but offer myself humbly
as a guardian of nature,
as a healer of misery,
as a messenger of wonder
as an architect of peace.In the name of the sun and its minors
and the day that embraces it
and the cloud veils drawn over it
and the uttermost night
and the male and the female
and the plants bursting with seed
and the crowning seasons of the firefly
and the apple, I will honor all life—wherever and in whatever form
it may dwell—on Earth my home,
and in the mansions of the stars.~ Diane Ackerman ~
