i love coming home to Tahoma, being home in Tahoma especially now as so much light pours in, overflows through us… i love these moments of feeling mitakuye oyasin, all my relations and living ubuntu… i love the wind singing wildpeace through the cosmos… i love dancing to the hum of our one heart… i love…
today as i dance with Rumi’s question about taking the long journey into self, i re-member that on an instinctive level i’ve been traversing the long journey for a long time and now, in this moment, i partner that dance step with a more conscious slow waltzing into innermost being, the calm center, stillness, the peace that passeth all understanding and stands still no matter what turbulence rages in the outer world, knowing that all is well, i am held, i am supported… dancing in this center, mine is only to witness as everything falls away leaving only oneness…
breathing infinite love deeply through our one heart, i am so thankful for the beloved coming into my life and turning it around in the form of this beautiful mountain… your spirit breathes me, dances me, blesses me in every moment… re-membering you, i re-member myself… feeling your vastness connects me to my vastness… inspiring you, i am inspired to join you in reaching for the stars, embracing the clouds and being a presence of peace, a sanctuary for spirit dwelling… thank you, thank you, thank you…
i come to the mountain to contemplate
with heart wide open i enter the gate
under the half moon waxing
intention grows for giving
~
For so many moons, i hold a vision of every cell of our universe meditating peace, breathing peace, singing peace and this prayer flows in waves over the planet and creates our world anew. Today, Forgiveness Day, under a waxing moon is perfect for expanding the original vision to have everyone of us love our one heart. Take this moment, this wild precious moment to love boundlessly, for giving love is the most powerful medicine, the most healing elixir – such a divine way to create holy ground today…
Dancing in radical joy today along the stunning coast… one with brilliant sun as our soles kiss our mother the earth with each step and a brisk wind enlivens each breath whispering to live wholeheartedly being peace, love and bliss…
Our one heart smiles…
In the midst of an overflowing abundance of riches (mahalo to all my relations), with every breath i come home to the heart and be PEACE. I feel it is the most important action/meditation/prayer called for now. It is so easy for me/us to distract with thoughts of what i/we didn’t do, how far behind i/we am/are…. better to dwell in a peace hut in a field of love being that wholeheartedly…
Tomorrow, i go on a Pilgrimage to Mt Ranier and am unsure whether i’ll be off the grid just in case i go completely silent… Rest assured we’ll be dancing peace, love and bliss every step…
Happy Trails!
In his own words…
Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.
May we all breathe his Blessing of Peace deeply through our one heart.
His parting words leaving Portland:
“I’m always mentioning that mentally, emotionally and physically we are the same human being. So the potential which I have and that I use – you also have that same potential. You must realize that potential and utilize that potential as much as you can. Then you will be a happy person and live a meaningful life.”
Happy 200 Days of Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage on the 238th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, a day i’ve been celebrating as Interdependence Day and Inner Dependence Day, a day of realizing we are one, of being peace and love… At the most basic level the Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage is a daily practice of breathing deeply through our one heart…
walking the rainbow bridge trail today
being the center in a sacred way
weaving a radiant web of love
encircling earth below and sky above
a day of rocking the baby and coming deeper and deeper into the sacred space of the heart…. another pilgrimage into slowing down rhythms and being peaceful repose… free to be fully present in the eternal moment of now, open to lovingkindness circling through the web of life… good night moon…
