A Blessing for Troubled Times

So far, 2024 has seemed to be spiraling down on a direct collision course with the reality that our natural world can only sustain so much human craziness!

And frankly, as a big wave surfer, I was expecting that we would be tossed and tumbled by the massive crashing waves of energy that continue to disassemble the “business as usual” predatory exploitative trance induction systems and structures that have brought our world to this brink of extinction, with multiple overlapping emergencies.

Instead… there is good news! We’ve entered into the honey-sweet waters of direct connection with the Vast Harmony of Creation. Along with this good news is even better news, including the best news of all!

We are being held in a gentle energetic basket of woven light. At this time, when we most need encouragement and sustaining support, it’s here. It’s here now. And, how exactly is this relevant to you?

First. You have a cosmic neurological system. What we call the universe, the stars and far-flung galaxies is all you. In our home galaxy, generating powerful waves of coherent uni-polar energy from the Black Sun at the center, is your heart beating. It is beating with love on fire and it is beating wild and free with the life affirming love of life for life, that can best be described in one word: YES! You know this.

We’ve moved into a clearing in our galactic spiral star system, and in our renewed direct connection. We’ve entered an ancient prophecy foretold relationship with light, with life, and with the Great Mystery.

Second. Waves of galactic energy that have been shredding the compromised systems that have held our “civilization” together have simultaneously been exceptionally coherent, well formed, and available to those who would “surf” waves of light. That’s my analogy for what’s possible. Another perspective from our shared traditions, is that as we enter into harmony with the flowing energies of Creation, Creation’s vast potential enters into harmony with us.

This is an art. Becoming an “Artist of Spirit” is learning not to struggle against what “is” but to become wildly creative and resourceful with minimal “effort” and maximum “artistry” and to catch energetic waves – to harmonize with energetic waves – allowing Creation to energize and carry our contributions and inspirations into being with ease and beauty.

That’s the good news. And, here’s better news. YOU are not being asked to step up to challenge the monstrosity of the aberration and insanity that has almost destroyed life on Earth!

Instead, you are being offered a blessing, the opportunity to turn to the center – to your center, to your heart, to the gift of your life, to find the YES that is the eternal Source of you, and of all of us.

ALL of us want the same things, love, peace, abundance, well-being, fun, opportunities. Essentially, we all want better lives for ourselves, our families, friends, and communities – especially for our children, and for their children. That’s the key!

Whether you have kids or not, within each of us is the original flaming life affirming love of the Great Mother for ALL of Her children – a love expansively expressed in Her first word: YES! YES, to being, YES to each other, YES to caring, YES to collaboration, YES to creativity, YES to compassion.

And, what could be better than that?

Supporting you on this journey to YES are the creatures of Earth, in all their flying, swimming, hopping, running, jumping, deep diving, deeply rooted, buzzing, flowering, leaf fluttering rainbow iridescent shimmering. They are all praying that you and I will wake up to the irreplaceable precious beauty of life.

Bees share this wisdom with us: “move away from thinking “ME” and move towards “we all work together to support and benefit the whole… that is where the Honey is to be found.” The “Honey” and blessing of this year is a return to our original agreement with Creation:
We care for Nature – and She cares for us.

It’s right here, right now. This is our moment to re-enter a state of reciprocity that returns care, reverence, and respect for life with an abundance of everything we could ever possibly need to survive and thrive.

Is there anything better than knowing that we have it in us to heal ourselves, our families, our friends, our communities, and our world? And, to celebrate and enjoy our lives as we do it? What could be better than knowing that this is up to you? And, simultaneously, since we’re all in this together, iit’s up to us!

We know that gathering with family and friends, including everyone and sharing the beauty of being and the gift of life by singing together directly invites the harmony and blessing of the Vast Self into our lives.

Please remember to include a sweet prayer for our beautiful little planet Earth.

The ultimate moment of all living ceremony is silence. So…. there in the center of your celebration – where deepening silence contains One beautiful flowering Presence…. that’s where we find YES!
