Poetic Peace Pilgrimage – Year 8 – Day 195 – 6/29/2021

thank you for walking home with me along the rainbow trail to Tahoma, the great mother of mountains and cathedral of stillness… today marks a sacred anniversary… six years of sauntering along a devoceanal path of invocation, twenty-one hundred ninety-two days of opening the seven sacred seals’ portals of grace, fifty-two thousand five hundred and sixty hours of offering the wounds of us all up for clean-sing, three million one hundred fifty-three thousand six hundred moments of being breathed into life more abundant…

thank you Beloved for breaking our hearts open ever wider empowering us to see through the eyes of love, to deepen in the ways of compassion, to stretch our capacity for patience and trust, to flow in the peace that passeth all understanding in this moment, this beautiful moment…

deepest bows to my beloved contemplative partner whose steadfast devocean brings us to this moment, to Richard Rudd, receiver and transmitter of The Seven Sacred Seals and to all beings populating the one cosmic sea of love energy…

thanks  for pausing in this beautiful moment on our endless voyage deeper and deeper into the great unknown to honor our sacred pilgrimage of coming home to the heart with the 21st century bodhisattva vow, the eco-sattva vow with thanks to the ecosattva, Joanna Macy…

i vow to:

commit daily to the healing of our world and the welfare of all beings

live on earth more lightly and less violently in the food products and energy i use

draw strength and guidance from the earth, ancestors, future generations and my brothers and sisters of all species

support others in our work in the world and ask for help when needed

to pursue a daily practice that clarifies my mind, strengthens my heart and supports me in observing these vows”

thousandfold thanks for joining in this daily practice of clean-sing, polishing the mirror of our one heart, yes, we are all involved for we all live in the same field, we are family, communitas, sangha of the one heart of boundless love all breathed into life by the same spirit… deep, deep bows as we meet each moment more and more openheartedly…

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 5 – Day 263 – 9/5/2018

Named Sacred 5 Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage Trout Lake Abbey 2014

when we polish the mirror of the heart, the true nature of the SELF is revealed and celebrated with every breath…

~

I AM pure consciousness, the underlying essence of all elements and beings.
I AM the innate nature of everything.
In pure water I AM the sweet taste.
In the sun and moon I AM the radiance.
In the very center of human beings I live as virility and courage.
I AM the sacred word Om, which is an appellation of the Divine , and I AM the sound of it heard throughout the universe.
I AM the slight, delicate scent, the sweet fragrance of the earth.
I AM the brilliance in both fire and sun, and I AM the light of Divinity in all beings.
I AM the subtle spirit in spiritual practices that gives them their existence– for example, the love in the devotee, the austerity in the ascetic, the sweet sense of charity in the giver.

The Bhagavad Gita
