on this earth day, let us color the earth in rainbow love and  contemplate the ancient rainbow prophecy…

“When the Condor of the South comes together with the Eagle of the North, the spirit of Mother Earth – Pacha Mama – will awake, then She will awake millions of her children, this will be the Resurrection of the Dead.”

~Inca Elder Willaru Huayta~

and another version of the prophecy…

“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.” (Rev. 21:1)

there are as many versions as there are cultures all with the same theme of unification, divine union, heirosgamos inciting transformation, our arrival on the shore of pure consciousness where…

the rivers run free and clear, the forests stand tall and abundant, animals and birds breathe clean air with all that is beautiful  our way of life as we smile and walk each other home together…

today is one of stunning beauty in the neighborhood, both inner…  another day of celebrating earth mother, of re-joy-sing with her… yes, everyday is earthday…

In Praise of the Earth

Let us bless
The imagination of the Earth.
That knew early the patience
To harness the mind of time,
Waited for the seas to warm,
Ready to welcome the emergence
Of things dreaming of voyaging
Among the stillness of land.

And how light knew to nurse
The growth until the face of the Earth
Brightened beneath a vision of color.

When the ages of ice came
And sealed the Earth inside
An endless coma of cold,
The heart of the Earth held hope,
Storing fragments of memory,
Ready for the return of the sun.

Let us thank the Earth
That offers ground for home
And holds our feet firm
To walk in space open
To infinite galaxies.

Let us salute the silence
And certainty of mountains:
Their sublime stillness,
Their dream-filled hearts.

The wonder of a garden
Trusting the first warmth of spring
Until its black infinity of cells
Becomes charged with dream;
Then the silent, slow nurture
Of the seed’s self, coaxing it
To trust the act of death.

The humility of the Earth
That transfigures all
That has fallen
Of outlived growth.

The kindness of the Earth,
Opening to receive
Our worn forms
Into the final stillness.

Let us ask forgiveness of the Earth
For all our sins against her:
For our violence and poisonings
Of her beauty.

Let us remember within us
The ancient clay,
Holding the memory of seasons,
The passion of the wind,
The fluency of water,
The warmth of fire,
The quiver-touch of the sun
And shadowed sureness of the moon.

That we may awaken,
To live to the full
The dream of the Earth
Who chose us to emerge
And incarnate its hidden night
In mind, spirit, and light.
~ John O’Donohue ~

may we dream in earth’s rhythms…

There’s a revolution that needs to happen and it starts from inside each one of us. We need to wake up and fall in love with Earth,

~ Thich Nhat Hanh ~

every day is earth day… as we approach the forty-eighth year of global celebration in this sacred space of great turning and cosmic rite of passage, i find myself listening, on this 222nd day of  an illuminating awakening adventure, to prophets, poet activists about the coming cosmic greening…

Turning to One Another

There is no power greater than a community discovering what it cares about.

Ask “What’s possible?” not “What’s wrong?” Keep asking.

Notice what you care about.

Assume that many others share your dreams.

Be brave enough to start a conversation that matters.

Talk to people you know.

Talk to people you don’t know.

Talk to people you never talk to.

Be intrigued by the differences you hear.

Expect to be surprised.

Treasure curiosity more than certainty.

Invite in everybody who cares to work on what’s possible.

Acknowledge that everyone is an expert about something.

Know that creative solutions come from new connections.

Remember, you don’t fear people whose story you know.

Real listening always brings people closer together.

Trust that meaningful conversations can change your world.

Rely on human goodness. Stay together.

as we approach the collective celebration of the earth day, the children of the earth are once again stepping up to remind us of our stewardship response-ability for the children of the earth who’ve had enough of  their peers being murdered and walked out of 2500 plus schools today to call legislators, march around state capitols, city halls, the national capitol renewing the demand for gun safety…

on this nineteenth anniversary of Columbine, thousands of students are walking out thanks to activist 16 year old, Lane Murdock from Connecticut who started a petition on Change.org that spread like wildfire across the internet… since Columbine, 193 schools have experienced a school shooting, affecting over 187,000 students with The San Diego Union-Tribune calculating that over 11,000 years of life have been cut short due to gun violence in schools since Columbine…

let us join with the children to work on six common sense steps to promote safety and life…

Ban Assault Weapons and High-Capacity Ammunition Magazines

Enable the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to Research Gun Violence as a Public Health Issue

Require Background Checks for All Gun Sales

Support Local Violence Prevention and Intervention Programs

Disarm All Domestic Abusers

Make Extreme Risk Protection Orders Available in Every State

and, let us raise our voices with the youth’s cry…

We Won’t Stop!

every day is earth day and as the collective celebration draws near, i re-flect on the heirloom seeds i’ve been devotedly tending for so many moons, so many turns around the sun and i take joy in witnessing the blooming of blossoms as if overnight and effortlessly…

tending the garden of the heart, of our one heart, of our true nature is a full-time vocation, tended with every breath, every thought, word and deed in every moment…

i love the mystery, the not knowing of when and where and how the seeds will unfold…

~

everyone, the teacher

every moment the guru

smile now and bow deeply

breathing in light, breathing out love

resting in the earth of being’s deep peace

~

thanks be for this sacred moment of tending the garden with you dropping down deeply to pause in the stillpoint of creation resting in a field of radiance, where we choose love emulating the sun’s pure vibration of the frequency of love…

The Earth is my Mother.
I shall not want.
Her hand brings forth the green pastures.
She tarries within the still waters.
She leads me in fields of fruitfulness for my Glory.
Yea, as I walk through the summer of life unto death,
I will not be afraid, for You are with me.
Your womb in the earth will enfold me.
You prepare a harvest before me and bless my home with children.
You fill me with milk and honey.
My cup overflows.
Surely, goodness and beauty will nurture me all the days of my life,
and I will become part of the earth forever.

Blessed Bee…

peace!

feeling a moment of  lost at sea

leads to desiring to suckle in the womb of a tree

breathing in earth mother’s energy

rebirths the wonder of deep mystery

~

 every mystical moment, a re-birthday party celebrating and savoring

every morsel, every breath

where we’re always changing and always the same

being and becoming love…

~

may we all luxuriate like a frog baking in the sun on a lily pad in a  moment of divine indulgence when the greatest service we offer is simply being love now and now and now…

~

 and, may we imagine and feel all our relations tuning into this moment as the only moment and the moment where we are all laser beaming love… what a wonderful world, truly filled with wonder…

~

in joy we rest in a pregnant pause and re-birth ourselves by simply breathing in light and breathing out love in the rhythm of the waves experiencing the deep peace of the inner flow…

today sings at the frequency of liberation, liberation rising out of  letting go, surrendering to the cosmic hum, the call of spirit… only as i start to write today’s peace, do i re-member…

seven years ago today, a day vibrating at the master number frequency of eleven, the LIGHT frequency, i coded and an angel of rainbow tinted white light came into me and flowed through me as she always does in times of troubled waters, in moments of great peril…

spontaneously appearing as a vortex of whirling white light, this winged angel of flight activates a mysterious flow of healing energy sacredly, secretly, silently, softly, supportively, synchronisticly… i hear the team of earthly angels celebrating getting a pulse going in me, i’m returning to the land of the living, returning to the miracle of being breathed alive in this moment, in every moment…

thousandfold thanks, dear angel of light, for watching over all of us in the dark of the night and in the light of the day for breathing and weaving the all that is in the rhythm of waves of love energy, home to freely flowing great mystery…

thank you for sharing this journey with me, for walking home together into the land of the free where we are filled with  loving kindness…

new moon, new story and what a story on this first new moon of the astrological year… beginning a rebirth cycle on this day that, in addition to being the new moon of rebirth is also the ides of April and the day that Mercury goes direct and the day we celebrate the astonishing light of our intrbeingness and our intentions for this moment of new beginning…

as the moon has been waning over the last week, i’ve enjoyed contemplating the deliciousness of a new beginning, of planting new heirloom seeds, seeds that have been around awhile, a very long while and are ripe for planting and germinating under this new moon…

thank you dear ones for indulging with me in this well-loved blessing so apropos for the new moon…

For A New Beginning

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life’s desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.

John O’Donohue

may we dance the new earth story of coming fully alive…
