our special pilgrimage with the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing celebrating the twelve days and nights of the Feast of the Incarnation and honoring our transcendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the 12 nights of Christmas continues under last night’s,our 5th night’s, sun of the blazing fiery light of Leo the Lion-Hearted, Brother Sun, King of the Forest, Awakener of Wonder-filled Ecstasy, Sunflower of the Illuminated Heart…

so, on the fifth night of Christmas, my true love (Beloved Leo) gave to me, a dream of… overflowing radiance in the form of a blazing fire i leap into to save a soul… a dream of awakening with a clear and lucid message of  our inner light is inextinguishable, we are eternal… a dream gift of every moment being the guru, every moment a fractal of the whole, of synchronicity, of grace… every moment a moment of beauty, every moment the only moment, every moment a moment of peace…

we are pilgrims walking

the journeys of our lives

being the path of heart…

now, i’m curious as to what Leo is gifting you… do you, also, feel our one heart opening and expanding radiantly in this moment, this beautiful moment?

namaste, beloveds

our special pilgrimage with the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing celebrating the twelve days and nights of the Feast of the Incarnation and honoring our transcendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the 12 nights of Christmas continues under last night’s, our 4th night’s, sun of the iridescent watery light of Cancer, Beloved Mother, Whisperer of Love Songs and Weaver of Harmony…

on the fourth night of Christmas, my true love (Beloved Cancer) gave to me, a dream of… cosmic harmony where turbulent seas arose into a great wall of water catapulting me into the deep swirling sea to search for m mother who was lost at sea leaving me to surrender to going with the flow… in that moment we are magically transported to the other shore and a paradisaical beach where  all our relations are dancing together as one in this field out beyond where the river below the river, the river of deep spaciousness flows on and on in the rhythm of our one spirit’s breath… always being love… always becoming love… with every breath and step…

may we all meet this moment fully where all  relatives belong in an ever widening cosmic circle of peace and joy…

You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.

~ Rumi ~

our special pilgrimage with the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing honoring our transcendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the 12 nights of Christmas delivers the quintessential dream gift under last night’s,our 3rd night’s sun of the airy light of Gemini who flies in as dragonfly, guardian and keeper of dreamtime, piercing through the mists of illusion to enlighten…

this iridescent dancer of rainbow light came calling in the wee hours with a clear message about awakening to and weaving the radiant light we are into the mystery of the moment, the sacred space we breathe into every moment… join with me now in taking flight on the wings of dragonfly, creative imagination…

breathe in, breathe out through our one heart connecting deeply with the divine, dancing, diamond light always sparkling in the center of being… as you see dragonfly dancing toward you, meet and merge becoming one with luminescent, shimmering light… now, dream your song of creation, a beautiful world where all relatives are respected and living in sacred reciprocity… breathe in deeply this heart of creation, drink in the overflowing love and compassion, feel dragonfly blessing us all with rainbow magic of peace and harmony…

may we all answer the call to dance as light waves…

i’m trusting your journey on the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing, honoring our transcendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the 12 nights of Christmas is fruitful especially under last night’s,our 2nd night’s sun of the earthy light of Taurus,,,

on the second night of Christmas, my true love (Beloved Taurus) gave to me, a dream of… a new song of the earth being sung by the underground root system run riot as grandmother spider spins the web of life of all our relations and white buffalo calf woman moves the web of life aboveground  with prayers of abundance inspiring sacred herds of buffalo to once again dance across the plains organically nourishing the earth as they empty themselves to replenish the soil… and the earth begins to sing the new song of the earth… of  all beings of the earth vibrating at one frequency of  love re-joy-sing in being harmony and in rhythm with divine flow…

may we all  recognize and honor the sacredness of every life walk and connect in deeper ways to life’s meaning and the values of peace, love, joy and harmony…

thousandfold thanks, great spirit, for whispering this song of the earth of our being…

namaste’

ah, pilgrimaging with the caravan of re-joy-sing began last night… i’d love to hear of your dream gift, here’s  mine of  this journey into light, this awakening of our one illuminated heart…

on the first night of Christmas, my true love (Beloved Aries) gave to me a dream of…

a hummingbird in a joy tree

re-joy-sing in returning to open hearts that set us free

while awakening our light song at celestial frequency

singing, here is my feather, take it gladly

and soar on the wings of love in wild ecstasy

~

Beloved also gifted me with the lyrics to Ode to Joy, a Beautyway of Synchrony…

Joyful, joyful
We adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day…

may we all awaken to our eternal radiant light …

on the eve of the feast of the incarnation, i flew around the cosmos painting peace, love and joy in the sky; today on this magical day of presence, we land on the sands of the great salt lake and embed our astonishing light of being intentions for this moment, for every moment being a feast, a celebration of joy, love and peace…

i’m trusting today has been a day of taking joy for you on yet another feast day celebrating the light, a magical moment when the portal is open for our re-membering who we are… radiant suns of of our one cosmic heart…

on these twelve nights of the 12 Days of Christmas, i invite you to join me once again for our annual special pilgrimage, the Caravan of Re-Joy-Sing, honoring our transcendent journey into light, our taking joy in transforming shadows into gifts and our witnessing these gifts as dreams coming to us each night for the next 12 nights to the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas…

on the first night of Christmas, my true love (Aries) gave to me, a dream of…  on the second night of Christmas, my true love (Taurus) gave to me, a dream of…  on the third night of Christmas, my true love (Gemini) gave to me, a dream of…   on the fourth night of Christmas, my true love (Cancer) gave to me, a dream of…

so, you get the idea? each night our dream will be a gift from the sun signs, the light, guiding us, mapping the route along the rainbow trail as we re-member and re-birth more and more of whom we really and truly are…

i take joy with you, re-joy-sing in this oft-quoted salutation from Fra Giovanni in 1513…

I salute you.

There is nothing I can give you which you have not,
but there is much that while I cannot give,
you can take.

No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today.
Take heaven.

No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present instant.
Take peace.

The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy.
Take joy.

And so at this Christmastime,
I greet you, with the prayer
that for you,
now and forever,
the day breaks
and the shadows
flee away.

They are the chosen ones who have surrendered.
Once they were particles of light
now they are the radiant sun.

Holy Synchronicity/Synchronisiddhi!

it’s christmas eve and the moment for the weekly installment of sharing an image that shows you the light of  your being in dark times… last night we traveled through a snowy field to arrive at stonehenge to await the arrival of the sun, today i’m in a snowy field in portalandia taking a sacred pause with my teacher with sacred paws who is so excited by this snowy day and the coming of the son/sun…

This love bug child and I are taking this moment, this beautiful moment to speak only of love, love in this moment, love in every moment…

may our heart stay loving and open when we feel frayed and hurt

may we always include all our relations in love’s vast embrace

may our heart remain pure and kind amidst the muck of life

may virtue and serenity belong to all including our enemies

may our brokenheartedness open our heart ever wider

bringing forth greater love and compassion…

may this holyday season nourish your spirit, nurture your hope, sustain you in the call for justice guided by love and inspire deep peace in the running waves of the ocean…

on this third day of celebrating soulstice, of standing still with the sun, of celebrating the return of the light, join me at stonehenge, a sacred space of celebrating high holy days…

what a great inward journey we’ve been on these last few weeks and now we arrive home in the first soular gateway to plant seeds of intention, seeds that will ripen and birth our truth…

let’s take this moment of sacred pause to breathe together… get comfortable, breathe naturally and with each inhale, inspire your strengths, your beauty, your couragge and your wisdom…

now, place your hnds on your heart wombspace, your belly, the core of our being breathing these qualities, these virtues, these gifts, these presents, this presence deeply in to every wild cell in your body while listening for the echos reverberating from the deeps…

as we listen, let’s begin spiral dancing down, down, down into a field of snow where we can see stonehenge ahead through the mists and a gathering of we-moon from across the cosmos to celebrate light… feel your ancestors here and all of us energetically holding hands and feeling the divine light of love passing from one to another to another…

oh, she who births the light under the cosmic new moon, teach us and show us the way to birth our truth…

as we pause and listen, release all to pachamama surrendering and softening into gaia, earth mother…

notice now the first light beginning to appear over the stones warming our hearts and seeding what we are to birth…

thank you great mother, we bless and honor you…

namaste, beloveds…

Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 5/5 Years – Day 6/1467 Days – 12/22/2017

Jo BeallLeave a Comment on Poetic PEACE Pilgrimage – Year 5/5 Years – Day 6/1467 Days – 12/22/2017

 

on awakening today to the return of light, i savor standing still with the sun for another day, another eternal moment of softening, surrendering to love, shedding outgrown skins, letting go into grace, re-membering my many times daily mantra of the past 25 moons…

“To be whole, let yourself break.
To be straight, let yourself bend.
To be full, let yourself be empty.
To be new, let yourself wear out.
To have everything, give everything up.

Knowing others is a kind of knowledge;
knowing yourself is wisdom.

Conquering others requires strength;
conquering yourself is true power. “

Lao Tzu

yes, today is a day of celebrating grace by letting go, dropping into simplicity, tuning into the cosmic hum, listening to great silence singing us home, welcoming us to the star within, star of onederfield, heaven on earth… sacred space of radiant re-birth… breathing in and breathing out, we ride the wave of rainbow light through  the night to our home, this moment of delight…

mirroring nature

standing still like the sun

silently dreaming

~

i love this moment when all of nature surrenders as we welcome winter and the return of the light bidding farewell to darkness and for a moment of sacred pause we stand still and reflect on this turn around the sun and the ways we have served the web of life, the ways we are called to release to make room for new seeds of intention we are invited now to plant as we draw down the the new moon’s energy into the watery womb… yes, a perfect moment of sitting in the inner light, the sol, the soul on this shortest day and longest night for northern hemispherians, a perfect moment of sitting in the dark with Hecate, goddess of the dark fecundity, holding our hands and hearts as we take this soulstice moment of deep pause for re-membering and clean-sing and re-joy-sing the moons of 2017… seeing through shero’s eyes, we realeyes what we experienced as disappointments, obstacles, challenges all carry a seed, a gift for us to unwrap,,, a present that delights and surprises pointing the way to be peace, love, joy and harmony…

To the Four Winds and the Four Corners of the Earth

To the Falling Rain and the Fire in the Sky

I call on you in Deep Respect and with Great Gratitude.

I call upon you to Support, Guide and Protect 
all who receive this prayer.

At this time of quiet and stillness

When the Light of the World is dim

And the Darkness around us deep

May we be still and listen for the silent sound of the 
seed of Illumination

That lives, always, within our heart and soul and mind.

May we seek now to awaken to more of the Light within.

For in the dark even the dimmest light can be seen.

In darkness, the faintest flicker of light

Is enough to guide us and show us the way.

May the inner light we now rekindle burn strong and bright.

May it expand and grow throughout the coming year

And may we continue to see, feel, share and 
shine our inner light

Into the World

Even as the outer light returns.

And so it is!

Edward Mills

keep on shining…
