when i see this picture today that i took five turns around the sun and five moons ago on a pilgrimage through the belly of the earth to the healing waters of a once powerful falls, it looks like a dream which prompts my re-membering a dream of five years and five moonths ago which feels just right for the five month anniversary of my latest dying and rebirthing on this day that begins the fourth week of forced evacuation from where i live due to a disaster…

before sharing the dream, let’s inter sacred space with deepest bows to grandmother spider… always weaving a web of such amazing, intricate interconnectedness demonstrating beyond the shadow of a doubt that we live in a cosmos of implicate order, great mystery unfolding,.. yes, below the deep river of suffering is another river always bubbling and whispering all is well…

and now for the lucid dream of five/five years/moonths ago on this very day, a potent dream of grace so perfect for this first moonth of the decade of destiny when we are called to listen, listen, listen to the heartsong of the council of ancestors – rainbow sky, the stone people, brother sun, sister moon, floating clouds, mother waters…

 i’m in a car and we’re winding around a narrow and oh so steep mountain road when i real-eyes no one is driving the car on this precipitous path… i look around and feel the presence of pure love auto piloting the vehicle and in that moment i know i can relax and trust this journey… looking out to the left, i see beloved ocean below flowing in and out and i am filled with peace, love and joy as we continue our spiraling trek around the mountain into the land of rainbow sky where i breathe in this moment of awe and rest on the trail of wandering in wonder knowing everything is grace, especially important on a day like today to be reminded and to hear the lost falls’ echoes rising from the river below the river whispering… be here now standing in the center seeing all that is as sacred, as one vast ocean of being one with cosmic flow…

may our dreams come alive today…

here we are in the last days of the first moon of this turn around the sun, in the moon of dreaming, the moon of stardust: all there is… i’m re-minded and re-heartened every day by cascading down like water deeper and deeper into the dream cave to how important awakening to the dream within, the soul song here in the deepest recess of our one heart, to how important this act of creation is…

like brother martin, like you, i have a dream of my personally and all of us collectively being more aware of our unity realizing there is only one of us here and each of our thoughts, words and deeds affects all our thoughts words and deeds…

i will be silently present with you now echoing the words of Rumi as we dwell for this moment in dreamtime, the stillpoint of creation…

come
let’s fall
in love
again

let’s turn
all the dirt
in this world
to shiny gold

come
let’s be
a new spring
a love reborn

find our aroma
from the essence
of all who
emit heavenly fragrance

like a fresh tree
bloom and spread
all the blessings
right from inside

may your dreams come alive today, may our dream come alive today as we re-member who we really are…
