welcome to day 8 of a season of peace and what an 8 day, an alpha and omega day, a be all/end all day, an exquisite day of experiencing the soul knowing the geography and trusting in the kindness of the rhythm of the cosmic journey… yes to the ever deepening and expansive shift into heart consciousness, to the ever more graceful dolphin dance with the energies of the cosmos, the ebb and the flow charting the course… on this day of both hearing the cries of the world and of feeling the quickening of collective birth pangs, i turn to kuan yin, goddess of compassion, protector of women, children, sailors, fishermen, anyone in trouble, and the sick, disabled, and poor… she who walks the boddhisattva path foregoing enlightenment until all sentient beings are liberated and free from suffering… according to legend, kwan yin tried so strenuously to alleviate the suffering of all beings that her head split into eleven pieces… buddha awarded her eleven heads with which to hear the cries of the world and when she heard all the cries and reached out to address the needs of so many, her two arms shattered… now, buddha gives her a thousand arms to offer her compassion to all…
“Remember the clear light, The pure clear white light From which everything in the universe comes, To which everything in the universe returns; The original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest. Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home.” ~ The Tibetan Book Of The Dead ~

on Imbolc (In the Belly) also known as St Brigid’s Day, Groundhog Day and Candlemas, we celebrate a day of pausing before walking through a door into the new, into the uncharted, the unknown… a moment to give attention and intention to what we choose to give our life energy to for all our relations… i choose to be loving presence and to open the doors of our one heart wider to the ocean of compassion, moving from resistance to rezestance where we’re filled to overflowinging with this freely flowing moon of omens and oracles heralding regenerativity which spirals us full circle to the little groundhog who sees his shadow portending more winter… however, our friendly hedgehogs have a different experience portending spring around the corner… it all comes down to how you look at things, doesn’t it? we all have the ability to look at things differently, to see the world as it is… oceanic oneness flooding our being with the preciousness of this wild and wonderful world and life… as we celebrate midwinter in the northern hemisphere on this day midway between winter soulstice and spring equinox, feel the goddess returning as goddess of the hearth with sacred flame here to warm our one heart again… ~ on this gray day of midwinter the cold has begun to fade and the days grow longer a time when earth is quickening birthing the fire after darkness now, goddess of the hearth returns with eternal flame and as earth grows full of life, blessings resound… may we all celebrate the abundance of new life and the cascading prosperity of cosmic flow as light and love illuminating our path of heart and returning us to our home… ~ synchronistically, this day vibrates at a frequency of transformation, a turning of the wheel with the cycles of life spiraling onto another level, a consciousness driven by divine will of lovingkindness and compassion, a consciousness of the heart… welcome to this moment, this day 4 of the season of peace when brigid kindles the flame of the heart and hearth in the center of the inner ashram, the core of being, the sacred space of true refuge… welcome home! thank you for showering us with inspiration on this pathless path of our soul’s illumination…
welcome to the third day of a season of peace and welcome freely flowing february and the new beginning you bring… a moment, a day, a moon, a year to begin anew and call in the spirits asking to be presented with doors that open as wide as our heart to our new path of discovery, of awakening unfolding along the road less traveled… a road inviting our wholehearted presence, our wholebeing essence, our complete trust, our suspending doubt when in places unknown and in uncertain circumstances, our letting go of any and every thing no longer working to open the space for spirit to freely flow… we honor our new beginning still under the glow of the cosmic moon of transformation and celestial synchronicity with our soul’s intention for change… in our new life, we commit our energy to… peace, love and joy trusting in beloved to carry us across the wild deep blue sea to a shore we cannot see, trusting beloved to carry us into the true refuge of great mystery… in this moment of new beginning, will you join me in dreaming into now a just world of love and peace? thousandfold thanks… my soul honors your soul. i honor the place in you where the infinite resides. i honor the light, love, truth, beauty, joy and peace within you… namaste, divine beloveds…
welcome to the second day of a season of peace and this last day of journeying january where we bless the space of this moon, this moon of dreaming… dreaming a world of peace… on this day of reverencing the journey to our one heart, let us come together and contemplate unity… ~ Visualize a pillar of Light emanating from the Galactic Central Sun, then going through all beings of Light inside our Solar System, through the eclipsed Sun and the Moon and then through your body to the center of the Earth. Visualize another pillar of Light rising from the center of the Earth, then up through your body and upwards into the sky towards all beings of Light in our Solar System and our galaxy. You are now sitting in two pillars of Light, the Light flowing both upwards and downwards simultaneously. Keep these pillars of Light active for a few minutes. Now visualize a soft pink healing divine feminine energy, healing all people of the planet of their past traumas, bringing peace, harmony, understanding, abundance and unity. Visualize this soft pink light healing the minds and hearts of all people worldwide. See all Lightworkers, Lightwarriors and Truthers working in unity for the creation of the New Earth. See the people of Earth celebrating and joyfully participating in the creation of our new reality where everyone can obtain what they need and freely choose to live as they desire. ~ may we celebrate the radiance of light uplifting the rising tide, the surging flow of divine feminine energy flooding the streets, the town squares and on and on and on…
in concert with the Season for Nonviolence which begins today on the anniversary of Gandhi’s assassination and ends 64 days later on April 4th, the anniversary of King’s assassination,today the pilgrimage begins a season of peace in preparation to walk the Camino of St Francis… let us invoke the beloved peace prayer of St Francis to begin this saunter – this walk on holy ground… “….. make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is discord, union; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.” may we all begin and end each day with a prayer for peace… when saying goodbye to people, may we say “May Peace Prevail on Earth…” may we create space in our lives dedicated to praying for, meditating, singing, dancing, contemplating and being peace… in this way, creating a cosmos of beauty all around…
fifty-six years ago today, beloved poet, Robert Frost died… he has been so with me today as i re-member fifty-eight years ago being at the inauguration of JFK where Frost delivered the inaugural poem which was to be Dedication only the sun’s glare kept him from being ablle to read it so he recited another of his poems…. funny, i would have sworn it was this poem or Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, i guess that day began a lifelong love of his poetry with The Road Less Traveled taking center stage …
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. ~
this meditation on choice, such a touchstone, as we all come to forks in the road where we need to pause and tune in to the silence of the heart… listening… listening…
