as the 24 hour bearing witness vigil comes to a close at the crack of dawn this morning, while physically feeling somewhat weary i’m inspired by the upcoming week of  taking action as Love Knows No Borders is about to commence reminding me how important it is for all of us to welcome the stranger and offer them warmth… when we start with re-membering the stranger within and befriending our inner refugee who desires what we all desire, a sanctuary to call home, when we open ourselves to the unknown inside of ourselves, we naturally radiate outward this openheartedness to all our relations…. may we all welcome the stranger and offer them warmth…

our earth mother’s heartbeat echoes through all our relations… feel the momentum building as more and more of us hear her call to rise up and stand together as one large orchestra playing a seamless symphony and re-joy-sing in the harmony we embody as a beautiful wave now encircling the cosmos – peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is… peace prevails on earth, love is all there is…

may we all welcome the stranger and offer them warmth speaking the words above as one unified voice, as one bridge of reconciliation encircling the cosmos…

join with me now in breathing deeply in to the womb of being while placing a hand on your heart and with each deep breath, feel your heart, our one heart, opening a little wider to welcome the stranger and offer warmth beginning with yourself and slowly moving out in ever widening circles of inclusion re-membering we all belong to each other, each of our individual destinies is tied with our one collective destiny… to journey to the core of our being, to our heart of gold to be our original face of radiant love, dancing with rainbow mystery…

today’s pilgrimage begins at the crack of dawn as i begin a 24 hour bearing witness vigil which feels so right, so synchronous on this 38th anniversary of the death of john…

in his honor, in honor of all our relatives, all twenty-four hours of this  day i am imagining… everyone living in the moment… letting it be… looking from our real eyes and real-eye-sing we are one…. all our relations living in peace… all of us dreaming the same dream into reality… sharing the world freely and generously… knowing no one is free, happy, healthy until we all are…

what a legacy! how fully you served in your four short decades on this planet before being cut down so abruptly thirty-eight years ago… thousandfold thanks, dear poet rebel with a cause… thousandfold thanks, cosmic ambassador of peace…

may we all shine on, like the moon and the stars and the sun…

blessed be!

Imagine

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for todayImagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, youYou may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as oneImagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, youYou may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

living simply

simply living in the tiny space

in the center of the wheel

where all is connected, woven together

seamlessly flowing…

yes, this is quintessentially descending december, this season of the turn of the sun, this rhythmic cosmic cycle where we draw inward into the dream cave to travel in an awakened way re-membering who we truly are, freeing ourselves by widening our circle of compassion and entering te vast spaciousness of our one heart intimate with the unknowable, bearing witness to great mystery, waging a peace passing understanding, gathering together in the depths of the sea, the womb of earthmother of love energy while flying as one through eternity…

all the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the flame of a single candle

~ St Francis ~

sag’s cosmic fire, his flaming arrows light up the darkness as we prepare for the advent of light on the soulstice… i spend this day of descending december deep in the dream cave reflecting and listening for the call of the creative fires, source of life, gift of light…

can you hear cupid the archer knocking on your door and inviting you to open your heart as widely as you can to your soul’s purpose for this incarnation? the moment is now to imagine your deepest desire…

Attend Intend Manifest…

Blessed Be!

still floating in the warm waters of the sea of love energy on this eve of the new moon in adventurous sag, i’m on a transformational path of preservation, of intention… what needs preserving in this new cycle? inner sun gazing transports me to the field out beyond and deep within to gather the quintessence, the essence of essence, love…

tripping along this path, i re-member another dream coming right at this moment a couple of years ago when  my golden retriever came bounding wildly through the front door in all his joyous puppy dog energy, yes, riever had come home after being away for 33 years, he had come home to the heart for us to re-member our long swims in the sea and wandering in wonder on the beach and my longing to live as simply as he…

i so love being reunited with my retriever of gold and his gift of a golden key of life – to live simply, to live free, to live in open, spacious reality – has been re-joy-sing me all day long and now i re-member an old shaker song arising from the same open source…

‘Tis the gift to be simple,
’tis the gift to be free,
’tis the gift to come down
where we ought to be,
and when we find ourselves in the place just right,
’twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained
to bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed,
to turn, turn, will be our delight
till by turning, turning we come round right.

onto a beautiful gathering of quintessence where we simply be love so free with wonder breathing me and thee…

on awakening today, i gather with the flock of aloha geese i’ve been flying with over the last seven weeks to share our journey that lans us this moment in presence, in spaciousness, in the stillpoint…

savoring this space of wu wei, of divine full being in this moment where we have everything gifted to us by an abundant and ever expanding cosmos, i re-member a drea of four years ago right at this time in the rhythmic cycle when once again i had just returned home to portlandia and in the dream my home here was far more  than it had been before dwelling in the golden land… now, the small space i inhabit goes on and on forever with a flowing pond in the center of the space and the pond is filled to overflowing with an abundance of  honu, green sea turtles, symbolizing  earthmother, ancient slow-moving pachamama revered for wisdom and good fortune…

yes to swimming in this flow…

still in the glow of an energy of slo-mo, of stopping the world to meet each moment fully, to greet each moment with aloha spirit and wanting to stay nestled in my downy nest in the dream cave this monday morning is graciously on the same wavelength… mahalo to all spirits, beloved, grandmother spider, awesome totally awesome, great mystery for erasing obligations, for holding the spaciousness of timelessness…

gladly, i venture forth at midday to reunite with little ms radiance who is sporting her new aloha collar… what a joy to commune heart to heart always connected no matter how many miles apart…

always being love love love…

yes, i did get jet propelled at our farewell feast to our island home, still it may be a little hyperbolic to say that like the state of oregon she flies with her own wings… definitely had the wings of a big bird encircling mine as we flew through with red eyes over the vast sky sea in a dark cabin, a perfect vehicle for descending into the dream cave of december and how ready i am to do just that when we land in portalandia for now i’ve been up for over 24 hours…

how delighted am i to continue this wandering in wonder and awe in the inner dream cave, the stillpoint of creation, the silence of the tiny space of the heart that is breaking wide open in this beautiful moment of presence, of be here now, now here, no where, everywhere in the timeless zone where we are all gathered in the one sacred heart out beyond deep within…

welcome the first day of descending december and our last full day in the aloha state… what an awakened way we have traveled today beginning with boating in our front yard into the kealakekua bay for the best snorkeling ever in this deep sea world that feels more home than land…

later this day, we make our way towards the aviary where a big bird will fly us across the vast sky sea after we slowly and festively celebrate one last syncing of  the sun into the sea…

aloha and mahalo to our island home for meeting us so fully in every moment…

love love love love love

i’m still so present in the field of, the blessed space with our dolphin relatives and with you on this next to last full day of this pilgrimage of awe and wonder and on this last day of now november when we deepen our devocean to being here now in this present moment, the only moment, a beautiful moment of  savoring, of reverencing the space between us, this quantum field of wonder at the stillpoint of creation where there is only the dance, the dance of life unfolding through the cloud of  unknowing, great mystery…

born of fire and the sea, let us breathe in  aloha and mahalo…
