“We do not think ourselves into new ways of living, we live ourselves into new ways of thinking.” Richard Rohr

The absence of our mental desire to be sure of our knowing…….opens the space of harmony….

creating a balance of serenity with our own Divinity.

We let go of a need of control …..and the need to know it all….

before we are ready to know it….

It is here, we are allowing all we encounter..to BE that which …”we” are….or “it” is…..or “they” are.

Allow your focus to go beyond…fixed expectations….FIXED VISION…..

letting the landscape blur..and come into natural clarity.

It is here, ones focus becomes empowered in what IS…..while discovering our courage….deepened within the self….and taking responsibility for all we find there….

“They both listened silently to the water, which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of Being, the voice of perpetual Becoming.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

It’s all about Love, in the Light of Life… where….enduring our own darkness……and the satisfaction of our spiritual maturity…. fits comfortably……in the skin

At the gathering place, collected truths glisten in the light…. Where life and the belief of such merge…meld together…the place where energy filled our vessels and our vessels shattered and poured light ……..

We each gather here..arriving slowly…shyly….collectively shinning…our shards of light…at this gathering place…of Humans knowing…..and living as…. Spirit in Matter….

Incarnated Souls….gathering to do life together…

“Sometimes—there’s God—so quickly!”

“Something can only become an illusion after disillusionment. Before that, it is something real.”
― Lynda Barry, What It Is

We are not without our past….even as we place it in the grave and walk away…we feel our echoes…..

Becoming …at the depth we dig ourselves into……and that which emerges from it… is a quality of unity…that resonates ……which changes our perception of identity…revealing a deeper sense of life within….….and that which we had ignored by separation from it….

One sometimes weeps over one’s illusions with as much bitterness as over a death.

Coming back to life…and living it….is the consequence of illusions becoming reality….

One must begin at the losing…..

“Memories are the grandest illusion of all.”
― Roshani Chokshi, Aru Shah and the End of Time

“Fog is more dangerous than dark, as it gives the illusion of seeing.”
― Aleksandra Ninkovic

Some vibrations…get lost in that light….

while riding on clouds…

Inspiriting the vision …..of the third eye

Disentangles oneself of manufactured patterns….

Bringing clarity to what is ones belief of “real”….

Sometimes…it seems….our belief system is simply our fears or loves..attached to rules…instead of Light…..

“All morning it has been raining.
In the language of the garden, this is happiness.”
― Mary Oliver

Stand above your sight..and see the rain…differently..

Clouds fall apart..at all elevations….moments..are simply change happening…change being watered…

the rain
spoke to me
slowly, saying,

what joy
to come falling
out of the brisk cloud…

That’s what it said
as it dropped,

smelling of iron,
and vanished…

Then it was over.
The sky cleared.
I was standing

under a tree.
The tree was a tree
with happy leaves,
and I was myself,

and there were stars in the sky
that were also themselves
at the moment
at which moment

my right hand
was holding my left hand
which was holding the tree
which was filled with stars

and the soft rain –
imagine! imagine!
the long and wondrous journeys
still to be ours.”
― Mary Oliver, What Do We Know

Once Upon a Moon

May 18, 2019May 18, 2019 Blooms and Thorns2 Comments

Full Moon Spiritual Reading by Cherokee Billie Spiritual Advisor

“Our innermost soul has agreed to become naked to existence once again.

“The only thing we can keep with us is that core blazing spirit.”

Ellias Lonsdale- Inside Degrees * his Chandra Symbol interpretation of this Moons degree*

Through a Blue Moon Season…. many things that have LONG been forgotten ..that were never conscious wounds…will rise out of the BLUE…into one’s mind eye and as the heart mind observes…one has the opportunity to see from the inside out …and if approached with a determined fire to let it be real..we ignite freedom…..

In this vision flash of dormant moments….suspended somewhere within us…. inspiration behaves as the energy of strength….of power…not force…..

Once in a Blue Moon..if one grasps this energy…time stands still…and one can indeed..alter their past for the visions hold the keys….and our attention …that liberates us into future vision….

Once upon a Blue Moon…is the offering of instant healing….we are brought back to ourselves…back to our true nature….

Falling Blooms

May 18, 2019 Blooms and ThornsLeave a comment

And we, who always think of happiness
rising, would feel the emotion
that almost baffles us
when a happy thing falls.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Duino Elegies

Falling does not always mean bruising…

Sometimes..one falls far from the moment…away from the thorns…

Falling away from that which holds one in place….

is simply another way of flying….

Creating a safe distance for observing…

for becoming..something more….

This creates within us….a type of self-rising flower…..

Falling awake…..

“The night is alive with stars, and when I lie down and look up, I get lost up there. I feel like I’m falling, but upward, into the abyss of sky above me.”
― Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

Memory

The heavenly light you admire is fossil-light, it’s the unfathomably distant past you gaze into, stars long extinct

Joyce Carol Oates

The stars and their beautiful …mocking echoes…linger within us….

at such a great distance….can we feel such emptiness…

that reveals so much…..

It is about…a perfect moment….

where the origin of a beginning is felt…

A good life is like a weaving. Energy is created in the tension. The struggle, the pull and tug are everything……Joan Erikson

We begin as a single thread..weaving ourselves into a story into the veil..of the finest texture……which we break as we go… break without feeling it….if only we go boldly enough……as the weaving of a life-time..is unraveled ….

You see, when weaving a blanket, an Indian woman leaves a flaw in the weaving of that blanket ….to let the soul out. Martha Graham

Longing

If I cried out, who would hear me up there, among the angelic orders?

Rainer Maria Rilke

We reach for words to speak in a voice that is both intimate and majestic on the mysteries of human life and our attempt….. to translate the angels language….. to use our self-consciousness to some advantage…. to transcend, through our art and the imagination, our self-deception and our fear.

There is no gentle here, but oh how it longs to be tender, and oh how it yearns to be soft.

“My library is an archive of longings.”
― Susan Sontag, As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh
