Stillness.

Sunday.

We who have lost our sense and our senses—our touch, our smell, our vision of who we are, we who frantically force and press all things, without rest for body or spirit, hurting our earth and injuring ourselves we call a halt.

We want to rest. We need to rest and allow the earth to rest. We need to reflect and rediscover the mystery that lives in is, that is the ground of every unique expression of life, the source of the fascination that calls all things to communion.

We declare a Sabbath, a space of quiet for simply being and letting be, for recovering the great, forgotten truths, for learning how to live again.

Reconciliation and forgiveness is a powerful practice of healing. We can offer this first and foremost to ourselves and then to others as an offering ultimately for the greatest good of all sentient beings.

The ancient Ho’oponopono Prayer is one of my favorite ways for this honoring and healing.

I’m sorry,
Please forgive me,
Thank you,
I love you.

Repeat and often. 🙏🏼

With the eyes and heart of the Divine may we go forward.

In love.

Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down the musical instrument.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.

I would love to kiss you.
The price of kissing is your life.

Now my loving is running toward my life shouting,
What a bargain, let’s buy it.

Daylight, full of small dancing particles and the one great turning, our souls
are dancing with you, without feet, they dance.
Can you see them when I whisper in your ear?

All day and night music,
a quiet, bright
reedsong. If it
fades, we fade.

Spring Giddiness ~Rumi

Don’t go back to sleep. Spring awaits and with it the calling of your soul...

Your way begins at the other side. Become the sky. ~Rumi

“Charge of the Star Goddess”
I am the beauty of the green earth
and the white moon among the stars
and the mysteries of the waters,
I call upon your soul to arise and come into me.
For I am the soul of nature that gives life to the universe.
From Me all the things proceed and unto Me they must return.
Let My worship be in the heart that rejoices, for behold- all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals.
Let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion,
honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you.
And you who seek to know Me, know that your
seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery;
for if that which you seek, you find not within yourself,
you will never find it without.
For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.
~Starhawk

Grace of God

Thank you is a prayer.

Hand on heart.
Thank you heartbeat.
Breathe
Thank you breath.
Thank you sky.
Thank you new day.

Thank you is the simplest prayer.
Gratitude changes everything.
Spending the day in appreciation, changes your world.

Thank you.
Start there.

In gratitude always,
Lisa
