a day like every day… filled with presence… every moment experiencing the visible and invisible, all that is presencing… breathing in, going deeper into the well, re-membering, embodying the light waves of love which radiate out into the cosmos with every out breath seamlessly returning as we breathe deeply into our one heart again and again…

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 79 – 3/5/2015
this moment is a miracle… this day is a miracle…. this moon a miracle… this month is a miracle… so, today, may we honor and celebrate every breath trusting our buddha nature…
In Tibet, this day is named Monlam, the Day of Miracles. Established by Lama Tsongkhapa in 1409 at the lunar new year to commemorates the Buddha’s display of spiritual power and create the space for virtuous activity, it is a very powerful time to practice, increase one’s commitment to virtuous activity and give with generosity.
may we all dance in the rhythm of this miraculous moment hand in hand with the ancestors and the generations on the way…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 18 – 1/3/2015
breathing in
rhythm with waves
our one heart smiling
on all free and easy wanderers
sauntering in beauty along the rainbow trail
where boulders transform into floating clouds blowing in the wind
as we rest in the vast emptiness of this big sky moment stretching on forever

thank you for walking me home
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 5 – 12/21/2014
today, i stand still with the sun as we birth and nurture light and reflect on and resound a song echoing inside from childhood on, This Little Light of Mine… And, yes, as the words direct, i’m gonna let it shine, shine on the old story burning it away leaving us free to draw down the power of the Capricorn new moon to be the new cosmic story…
PEACE on Earth and Goodwill to All Our Relations
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 2 – Day 3 – 12/19/2014
13 moons ago, this prayer dreamed me… i was driving over a bridge with my mother when suddenly a tsunami appeared… now, i am swimming in dark water knowing i must find my mother who is not a strong swimmer… after what seemed an eternity, i surrendered realizing all i could do was go with the flow… instantaneously i was transported to paradise and then to our beach cottage where i found my daughter… i knew i had to call my siblings but it was the last thing i wanted to do…
as i waited for them to answer my call, i felt movement behind me and turned around to see my mother standing there in my nightgown with my hair and smile – best miracle ever! during this wholly season, sometimes it feels like a tidal wave of abundance… i re-member the dream and surrender to this sea of love energy we are… i breathe into the stillness of this sacred space as peace flows through in the rhythm of the waves…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Day 364 – December 15, 2014
on this next to last day of year one of the poetic peace pilgrimage, this water baby is reflecting on and celebrating this flowing in beauty turn around the sun… a year of breathing in, being water, fire, earth, air, moon, sun, planet, wind…. moment after moment of dancing in the rhythm of the waves of rainbow light… always being love…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Day 362 – December 13, 2014
the more deeply i dwell in divine presence continuously chanting make me an instrument of peace and the more wholeheartedly i surrender to love, the more i am taken to places i could not imagine… on this auspicious date, 12-13-14, as i look back over 362 days of tripping, i am so loving the beauty of unfolding mystery…
The Journey
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice–
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do–
determined to save
the only life you could save.

a rare rainy moment offers space to listen as the winds blow the tree’s whispers like raindrops onto thirsty earth… a moment to reflect on thanksgiving on island, in is land where living is so in communion with elementals… island living is “is land” living, is being the present moment, is presence… inspiring some ABC’s of Is Land Living…

now, that we are halfway through, let’s breathe these blessings deeply through our one heart radiating them out into the great beyond and breathe into the remaining blessings on the way…
in every wild and precious moment, may we all feel more of the beautiful light we are and may we shine on the path as we walk each other home…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Day 347 – November 28, 2014
magical miraculous moment as we dance along the rainbow trail with rain softly kissing our faces and sun warmly embracing our bodies… out of the mists from the depths of the canyon, an echo of harmony resounds and colors the sky… we re-member we are boundless like the arc encircling pachamama and beautiful like the unchained melody of our multiverse…
a perfect moment in the rainbow state with hearts wide open to what is as the wind whispers bestowing blessings for all as we walk the sacred path of oneness…
mahalo… aloha…
Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Day 342 – November 23, 2014
loving the endless path we all traverse
thankful for this moment to converse
silently with ocean, trees, clouds, rain, new moon
gracefully dwelling in mother water’s womb
~
it’s been a long day’s journey into night, one of those days of pure delight when carried on the wings of love, i arrive home to the coo of a dove… listening raptly to the sound of the surf and to the birds’ joyous song of the earth, transported gently across the peaceful sea, this is the moment to simply be… may we all be at ease, may we all be peace…
