Youtube video Cris Williamson sings ‘Song of the Soul” from “The Changer and the Changed.”  What a wonderful waltzy dancey tune, I must listen to this out under the full moon tonight.  Thank you my brother JJ Utrada for the reminder. Lyrics below.   Continue reading →

Out in the garden just now, I got kissed by a wandering butterfly. Twice! It was the most magic of moments. This Magic Moment by Ben E. King is a fave song, I think of kissing the earth with my feet, being kissed by the sunshine, the wind and the rain. In comparison, the human mortal kiss pales.

I love the butterfly imagery here: every morning we burst anew from the cocoon of our prior day’s understanding, into a gloriously technicolored new world of endless possibilities. Like the butterfly, we’re allowed to flit from one thing to another to find what we want to finally alight on for awhile.  We can fly as high as we want and we can dare to fly into the sprinklers as well.  My daily search is for the sweetest nectar to be found. I find it everywhere, with everyone.

Quietly go to work on your own self-awareness. If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation. ~ Lao Tzu

Today was pretty magical all around. They delivered the July Horizons Magazine and I got the mailing to the post office in record time. I had a nice energetic reboot in the noon rainfall.  At sundown, I celebrated the Summer solstice walking on the beach and drumming with friends at the Boardwalk.  We watched the full moon rise and I connected with a soul sister from back in the day. The moon looked amazing reflecting off the water and in the wet sand. I came home to bask awhile in its light and listen to the night sounds. Thank you, Whomever/Whatever is Responsible, for this blessed life I have and everyone in it.

On particularly rough days when you’re sure you can’t possibly endure, remind yourself that your track record for getting through bad times so far is 100% and that’s pretty good.  It would go so much easier if you stopped telling the old story, stopped identifying yourself with an abusive past.  Your focus on it keeps the pattern repeating itself in your life.  You’re stronger than you think.  You don’t need the old story.  Who you are right now is enough.

We come from energy and turn back into energy.  We are all matter for only a very short time.  Make sure that when you are matter… that you matter.

I revised this image because I had to rephrase it. I don’t use the word “negative people.” Just some people. Calling someone negative is casting a spell on them. So is calling someone wonderful or forgiven. We’re casting spells left and right, aren’t we? Lets cast some powerfully good ones.

Never go looking for love, because there is no place that Love is not. Be as ecstatic over hearing the cardinal chirp as you are hearing your lover’s voice. Be as thrilled by the brush of the butterfly’s wing as you are by your lover’s lips. Live in those small enchantments. They are here to delight and romance you. Let them woo you. Fall in love with them. Then, then you will see there is no place that Love is not.
