may it be so… may righteousness be restored… today, we begin the transformational journey of navaratri, a major hindu festival celebrating nine manifestations of the goddess Durga and honoring the power and grace of divine mother over the next nine nights and ten days…
whenever we run into some powerful whitewater, some turbulence, it’s good to connect with Durga in her fierce love manifestation, the form that removes entrapments and negativity from our lives and brings the illumination we are into fuller real-eye-zation…
thank you Durga for helping us remain wide-open like the sky, fertile like the earth, unshakable like a mountain, shining like a flame and lucid like a crystal in the face of turbulent waters threatening loss of connection…
thank you Durga for whispering to let it be, we are in flow wherever we go, surely we know there is only flow… a moment of crisis brings us to our knees, a perfect place to re-lease… all illusions of separation transmuted now into the field of unification… returning home to the watery womb of creation, resurrected now from the dark tomb of separation… strengthened in your power, Durga, of fierce determination and fearlessness…
thank you dear Durga for bringing good fortune, protection and blessings into the web of life…
may we be as wise Durga who teaches and shows us that we belong to each other helping us realize interdependence, the way of the heart, is the way…
in this moment of eternity, Divine Mother is so present on the earth mother… hear her hum as you tune into the rhythm of the cosmos… breathe in the Goddess through your heart, she is the power of consciousness, the miracle performing intelligence, the generator of compassion for all, the mother lion protectress, the blessing benefactress… and as we close, let us activate this consciousness and invoke her power of love with the mantra, Om Dhoom Durgayai Namaha…
oh my, holy synchronicity, what a day for not only is it the first night of navaratri but it’s also the international day for the total elimination of nuclear weapons and the day when the dismemberment process experienced over the last few weeks took a dramatic turn when i literally fell flat on my face cracking my head wide open and breaking several bones in my nose… fortunately there were several angels nearby to help out and a chariot rapidly appeared to get me to the hospital where I spent the day and a very interesting one at that with the concern being that i might have bleeding on the brain which can get very dicey very rapidly… once again, i came through to be here a while longer…
