Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 7 – Day 31 – 1/16/2020

as we swim in the sea of uncertainty, let us take this wild and precious moment to put compassion into action by being lovingkindness as we join with the caravan of re-joy-sing to sing out to all our relations a song of strength, a song of courage, a song of spirit, a song of wisdom to hold us in the hard times inspiring our taking one more step when we feel we can’t go on and to open our one heart ever wider to and for each other as we all suffer losses each and every day with dreams changing form and flying away… everything is fleeting, only love is real, so, may we walk in beauty around the prayer wheel… may we be true refuge for all our relations sheltering each other through storms and desolations, returning home with each breath to create anew, a more beautiful cosmos, holy ground for me and you… may we comfort each other rekindling our inner flame circle dancing joyously together  once again…

Oh Great Spirit, we raise smoke to the four sacred winds and the four corners, so that the blessings can reach our brothers and sisters in every corner of Great Mother Earth, while the smoke disperses all over Father Sky, lit by Mother Moon.

Let the smoke pass to each their blessing and do away with all sorrows and unhappiness,fill their homes with love, and the light of your wisdom.If any be sick, cure them,If sad, make them happy,If they have needs, fulfill them.Give them all your love as they love you.They can give testimony to your power and mercy, and most important your love.Oh Great Spirit, we love you with all our heart as we love our brothers and sisters all. We are your servants and theirs. We ask for only one thing – give us strength to keep going on doing as we do on this spirit path. So it is!

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 5 – Day 250 – 8/23/2018

Named Awesome August 23 Rumi On Beauty

each beautiful thing, each new day awakens in our soul the memory of whom we are, luminous beings, the shining ones… i am re-membering some words on joy from Pema Chodron who shares a Navajo teaching to their children…

…every morning when the sun comes up, it’s a brand-new sun. It’s born each morning, it lives for the duration of one day, and in the evening it passes on, never to return again. As soon as the children are old enough to understand, the adults take them out at dawn and they say,  “The sun has only one day. You must live this day in a good way, so that the sun won’t have wasted precious time.” Acknowledging the preciousness of each day is a good way to live, a good way to reconnect with our basic joy.

yes, and, deepening the acknowledgement with appreciation geometrically raises the frequency of our awakening to the song of our soul, the psalm of re-joy-sing…
