*Hallelujah! After almost 7 weeks, the PPP website is finally fixed and I can post there again, thank goodness the ACT website continued to work in the last weeks… 🙂 

“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 hummingbird, guardian and keeper of joy, 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 hummingbird, 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 hummingbird 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 hummingbird blessing us all with rainbow magic of peace and harmony…

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

i’m trusting our 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 for you 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…

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

on the eve of 11-11 at 11:11, i begin calling in armistice… exactly at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 103 years ago, people across Europe suddenly stopped shooting guns at each other… up until that moment, they were killing and taking bullets, falling and screaming, moaning and dying… then they stopped, on schedule… the armistice agreement that ended World War I had set 11 o’clock as quitting time… Armistice Day was created to celebrate the ending of World War I and to work for the ending of all war…

the next year, King George asked for two minutes of silence for all people to reflect on and re-member the cost of war and the benefits of a lasting peace… in this moment, let us observe two minutes of silence while we contemplate the words of  an American President, Abraham Lincoln almost a half a century earlier when the United States was dangerously divided…

“I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for that day.”

in every moment, may we all tune into a greater wisdom… the peace passing all understanding…

“The weary world is waiting for
Peace forevermore
So take away the gun
From every mother’s son
And put an end to war.”

~ Al Jolson ~

join with me on the 11th at 11 to chime bells 11 times commemorating the 103rd anniversary of WWI’s end following that with a wave of three minutes of silence dedicated to all who died and to all who lived… and then, may we rise up singing and dancing peace prevailing on earth…

and, on that note, i re-member it was 5 years ago Leonard Cohen moved on to another plane; with his death and as a celebration of his life, here is my favorite rendition of his praise song, hallelujah… godspeed, jikan… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYiMJ2bC65A

you have no cause for anything  but gratitude and joy…

today, i celebrate my maternal grandmother’s 133rd birthday entering the dreamtime portal that we northern hemispherians are descending into while our southern hemisphere relatives arise into the light, i re-member a couple of years ago her birthday coincided in such lovely synchrony with the Tibetan Buddhist celebration of the holy day of Lhabab Duchen, a festival of re-joy-sing in all acts of kindness for on this day Buddha descended from heaven to liberate his Mother and repay her many acts of kindness… it seems oh so fitting on this sacred day in this moment of eternity to ask the questions of what needs transforming and alchemizing on this day of celebrating grandmother ancestors by scattering the good in their honor…

will you join me this moment of eternity of my grandmother (who was a scattergood and a joy-ner) reverie  in the caravan of re-joy-sing circling ’round the cauldron where we brew the elixir of transformation, rebirth and inspiration, drink it in and take sacred action by performing acts of compassion joyously and scattering the good all of these acts of kindness and goodness we bestow and all the acts that have been bestowed upon us by the ancestors?

re-member, throwing kindness around like confetti and scattering the good to the four winds is something we always need, especially the unkind who need it the most…

yes, let us breathe in deeply through the stone people, our ancestors, right down through the deep heart of the earth coming home ready to choose love over power, compassion over fear and construction over destruction centered in our one true self, the self organizing intelligence of the ever expanding cosmos dwelling down deep in the core of all our relatives in the river below the river, the river of joy bubbling below the river of suffering always at the ready to break through revealing who we truly are – instruments of joy, love and peace…

throughout each day, i’m ingesting each moment of eternity to come to this point at the end of the day to crystal-eyes the unfolding mystery… last night, i’d thought i’d be writing about the chaos and confusion of these be-wildering great turnings but when i went to write, my website wasn’t working and i did what i could to remedy the situation to no avail and then called the hosting company which turned out to set me back profoundly and then i came back to give it one more try – eureka! so, after all that, i really needed to tune into the unitive field where we interare as one connected interbeing and when i come here now and chant this tibetan prayer i love so, i see how it is such a prayer of interbeing, of coming from the place of the one cosmic heart we are and i real-eyes that on this day seven years ago i traveled on the peace train with a partner in peace into the belly of this land to celebrate my completion of the sungazing cycle of 44 minutes in a park built many years ago by conscientious objectors interned here during a war… it seems this peace found just the right moment…

let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me and thee…

living in these times of crisis, these times of  danger and opportunity, we are called us to summon the courage to take on the response ability of being peace, of exploring the hard places in our heart and softening, of being water washing over the rigid and melting it into healing flow…

for so many moons, like you, i re-member we are the ones we’ve been waiting for and have been calling in wise leadership being catalyzed within our collective soul with a song of justice and true power quoted below…

Psalm 15

Lord, who can be trusted with power,
and who may act in your place?
Those with a passion for justice,
who speak the truth from their hearts;
who have let go of selfish interests
and grown beyond their own lives;
who see the wretched as their family
and the poor as their flesh and blood.
They alone are impartial
and worthy of the people’s trust.
Their compassion lights up the whole earth,
and their kindness endures forever.

(The Psalms, translations by Stephen Mitchell)

will you join me in this moment, in every moment in a smile (start my internal love engine) of peace and breathe in deeply the boundless love all around us… informing us every moment is a teacher with a healing gift of grace for love is the most powerful medicine, the most powerful energy of all…we can and must generously share this eternally renewable energy source with everyone and everything…

may we be bridge-builders, repairers of the breach, menders of brokenness, tenders of beauty in wounded places… in order to be whole, to be peace, we must accept every cell of our one body of interbeing as the beloved, yes each of the trillions and trillions of threads of the web of life; this is our calling and thankfully we are so re-sourced to interbe this great work…

in this field of love may we walk
all day long may we walk
through the turnings may
we walk
on the trail of pollen
may we walk
with love in our one heart may we walk
with  love before us may we walk
with love behind us may we walk
with love above us may we walk
with love all around us may we
walk
wandering on a trail of
love, may we walk
beginning in love
deepening in love

always being love

Clean-sing and Purifying the Inner Temple

see in the center of our being, a large fireball radiating like a sun…

into the center of the fireball, we place anything on the physical plane that is needing to be transformed, that no longer serves… as it goes into the center of the fireball, it is transformed, and the energy of life is released like the rays of the sun…

see this fireball turn into a blazing yellow sun… place into the center of the sun any emotions, desires, energies, ways of running energy that no longer serve… these energies are transformed into radiant rainbow spokes of pure energy…

now the sun turns into a deep indigo blue and we place into the center of the indigo sun any separative thoughtforms, ideas, concepts… as they enter into the sun, these thoughtforms are transformed into radiant spokes of pure energy and are being released into the temple of being in all the colors of the rainbow…

see the soul itself appear in the center of the temple of being… all of the love and the light that’s been released, we offer to the soul’s plan and purpose… this energy rises merging with the group soul quantum field infusing the greater plan…

from our soul quantum field, see and feel an energy of golden light come down through us all descending into our crown center all the way through all our vehicles clean-sing and purifying us for the engoldenment cycle to come when we real-eyes the astonishing luminosity of our interbeing… a la la ho!

“We need to be angels for each other, to give each other strength and consolation. Because only when we fully realize that the cup of life is not only a cup of sorrow but also a cup of joy will we be able to drink it.”

Song of Peace

“We pray to the great Spiritual Power in which
we live and move and have our being.
We pray that we may at all times
keep our minds open to new ideas and shun dogma;
that we may grow in our understanding of the nature of all living beings
and our connectedness with the natural world;
that we may become ever more filled with
generosity of spirit and true compassion and love for all life;
that we may strive to heal the hurts that we have inflicted on nature
and control our greed for material things, knowing that
our actions are harming our natural world and the future of our children;
that we may value each and every human being
for who he is, for who she is,
reaching to the spirit that is within,
knowing the power of each individual to change the world.”

~ Jane Goodall ~

may it be so…

with every step today, with every breath, i bow to the beauty of the one who stands with grace in the center of the wheel holding space in a sacred way… in this place, she sees more than she can say and understands more than she sees… as she rests in stillness, she listens to the wind and knows in her heart, in our one heart, that we are here to offer loving service to all our relations for we are one – one breath, one body, one being, one becoming…

for the past twenty-three hundred and twenty-three days, i have gathered with this extraordinary being of shining light in sacred communion to voice metta, lovingkindness blessings for all our relatives… each evening, we join at the threshold to offer ourselves and everything we are to the field out beyond… we envision the whole cosmos joining in and experiencing the true reality of oneness where we see all our relations as numinous love…

invoking the divine light of grace every day is a most transformative path; sauntering along this rainbow trail of devocean daily teaches and shows the way of saging gracefully…

on this very special day, the anniversary of your birth, i celebrate you with this blessing prayed every morning by His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, a blessing you walk each day…

~

May I be a guard for those who need protection

A guide for those on the path

A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood

May I be a lamp in the darkness

A resting place for the weary

A healing medicine for all who are sick

A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles

And for the boundless multitudes of living beings

May I bring sustenance and awakening

Enduring like the earth and sky

Until all beings are freed from sorrow

And all are awakened.

~

deep bows and boundless love, beloved flow-er of beauty and soul of the space wherever your soles are kissing the earth, our one heart eternally smiles as we walk the spirit path together until all our relations are free of suffering, until all relatives are liberated…

always flowing in beauty being the soul of the stillpoint space…

such a trifecta of riches with this moment of eternity celebrating the astonishing light of our interbeing coming on this day of lunar samhain, new moon in scorpio and the hindu festival of diwali, the celebration of the light within… on this darkest night of the moon as hindus ceremonialize the triumph of light over darkness, we light a candle and gaze into the fire, we are always living in the midst of fire, something’s always burning, being purified, transformed…

as we open more deeply in this moment to the lamp of our one heart being lit by a thousand fold lights, we begin a journey on this new moon of the creative fires of imagination sauntering through portals into the unknown with our soulful self as compass to map the way as we ask , what is going up in smoke? how is fire teaching you who you truly are and inspiring being more fully SELF?

~

in this moment, this eternal moment, breathe in deeply earth mother’s love…

standing silently in her sacred heart center, breathe out expansively to the skies above

listen intently as the wind whispers soulfully, singing us home to the river below

in this moment, this eternal moment, open with abandon to the fire of inner glow

always present lighting the way, always present every moment of the day

great mystery, thank you for breathing us into presence…

thank you central sun for coloring the cosmos in rainbow arcs of radiant love surrounding us, bathing us, transmuting us into pure light essence

radiant beings of  the great turning…

~

may we take this moment and every moment to fill ourselves with the love of earthmother for this light dissolves all impurities alchemizing lead into gold…

in this moment of eternity, all over the planet, life is out of balance and we know deep in our bones we must change the dream we’ve been living… when we listen to the indigenous, the people of the land who listen to the all that is, we hear the clarion call to love our mother and each other… water, air, trees, sun, moon, stars, all our relatives, and we are all relatives woven together intricately, inextricably, interconnectedly…

we can all feel that we are at a tipping point, a sacred space with birth pangs so intense it feels like we are dying; yes, we are to a life that no longer fits, a shell that is too constricting… we are at a moment when we must band together, stand together in love, throw off the illusion of separation, re-member the reality that we are one just as abraham re-minded us that a house divided cannot stand…

yes, let us take courage and be of strong heart, awaken the dream of the world we all share and long to real-eyes… a world of peace built on justice and guided by our essence, our essence of love… let us be repairers of the breach finding the way to relate to and listen to each other taking deep breaths and opening ourselves, our one heart to great mystery trusting a greater force beyond understanding is orchestrating the symphony while we play our parts as gracefully as is given to us… a simple task but not an easy one this flowing with unfolding mystery… empty, empty coming home to our true heart of intending a world that works for all…
