in the midst of a world unraveling, where we dance in the dark in the rhythm of unknowing, still, dwell in the river beow the river, the underground wellspring of love… re-member all you truly love… re-member… re-member… close your eyes as the waves of love rise and breathe it deeply into every wild cell… in this moment, this beautiful moment luxuriate in being love…

everywhere i am today feels like a hatchery; every circle, a nest of hatchlings breaking free from constriction and expanding into a more spacious home, an open heart… as with any birth, growth, transition, transformation, there is pain which underlines the importance of our nestling together and emracing each other’s journey through the birth canal into the river of awakening that flows into the ocean of love…

yes, these moments are the perfect ones to embrace what is, to befriend whatever comes our way… Rumi says it so beautifully…

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.

Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond. 

breathing in gratitude, breathing out love… and again… and again… now, i’m in a field where the sun flows abundantly accompanied by a powerful animal leading the way to an open portal illuminated by stars…. we cross the threshold into paradise and watch as the most beautiful radiant form approaches and envelops us in the warmest embrace whispering, “welcome home…”

early awakening opens the loving eye to saunter along the rainbow trail fueled by a litany of thank you’s deeper and deeper into the depths of the soul where peace abides in the midst of the flowing tides of grace… in this saced space, one simply needs to be open and to embrace the great mystery as it breathes us into full expression expanding our universe, our one song, the deep song, infinitely…

honoring the call to come home to the silence of our one heart, i am re-treating in a dark cave where a peaceful stream flows… it is as if i’m in a float tank sans outer sensory stimulation… i re-member more than four decades ago experiencing a great awakening after realizing original sin is separation and almost immediately seeing a clear vision of reality as oneness…

i begin a lucid cycling journey following behind the divine child and her father on my bicycle. i carry my singing bowl in one of my arms and i come to a space where i must stop… here, i begin a wondrous journey exploring open heart u, a dream i’ve been incubating many moons… how much fun to wander these grounds. to meet people who are drawn to beloved community, to connect with so many dog star offspring here to guide in the opening of inner vision, to truly be seeing eye dogs…

the grace of this day is amazing and i breathe it in again and again with the ever present chant of thank you, thank you, thank you…

i wanted a rest from high desert heat,

to refresh the soles of my weary feet…

until i heard beloved calling out my name,

and whispering softly the same refrain…

come back, come back, come home to me,

and dwell in the heart of great mystery

~

in this moment of sightless solitude,

i’m walking with the other vision given to us.

 feeling my way  to the home of beloved,

where all doors are unlocked, all portals as wide open as our one heart,

i rejoice in seeing the world through the loving eye, seeing the beauty of all that is.

a long day filled with angelic healing beings capped off with a magical tram flight across portalandia’s skyline as the sun is going down…. another day of seeing inner light through my blind eye and amazed at the collaboration of the trillions of cells to heal the one body… blessed harmony… amazing grace… enjoying even this wild and bumpy ride…

i awaken hearing Beloved singing me, calling me to return home to her… i arise to open the sacred space to beauty, love and peace as Osun’s adept prepares the space in a sacred way…

everything is humming beautifully and i greet other pilgrims who arrive for this initiation…

i am called to go downstairs where meeting and greeting the dogs turns into quite an initiation i hadn’t seen coming as one of the dogs swats her arm at me… i’m sure she was trying to open my 3rd eye but clawed my 1st eye lacerating the lid and rupturing the eyeball…

i knew the wound was severe… i couldn’t see, blood was gushing and the pain shocking… my overriding concern was to comfort the children who witnessed this happening…

It was decided that i needed to be in the healing space of the sacred circle and be attended by the lightworkers present before journeying on on one of the wildest ODDysseys ever…

From the moment it happened, i intensified my continuous loop of thank yous always breathing me transforming theODDyssey into a pilgrimage of grace…
