Remembering

Lives so precious taken from loved ones too soon. Since September 11th, 2001humankind turned another direction and tilted contrary to the natural tilt of dear mother Earth's axis. The collective heart and soul of the world seemed to became harder to take and live in, to come to terms with humanities cruelty is raw and brutal going against the softer, kinder, much more compassionate nature of humanity.

Through the ages we have seen, felt or heard of the darkest nights, the cruelest days and most excruciating times at this place at it's own unforgiving hands. It is the broken hearted, the abused, neglected and forgotten, the vulnerable and those with no voice or choice in any matter that require the most tender loving care yet are the one's most at risk for mistreatment.

One hangs on to and hopes for better day's, for miracles, goodness and respect to prevail. In the middle of it all and when the final curtain is called this fragile yet strong, magnificent manic tiny marble of a place in time and space will realize the healing, constructive power and miraculous nature of it's own will to love and come in peace, contribute somehow in whatever capacity or measure, to the quality of life for everyone everywhere whenever possible.

Fearless Warrior

As the world turns, burns, spins, shakes and bakes in it's own jams and juices, in it's own mad and marvelous self made messes and awesome inventions, intentions, conventions, creations and connections... we would do well to rise and shift, all of us who share this precious planet...Yes, a shift to make room for the betterment of one another. To seek-out opportunities to be a good reflection of everything we wish for, to live life with the intention of contributing to it's quality, to find a way to promote peace and justice for all, forever.

Let our cries, our tears our fears, frustrations, fantastic natural and electronically infused lives stem from a peaceful place, a place where life is good, resplendent with respect, where the young revere the old, where people take better care of plants, animals and the environment is given another chance at surviving humanity's hunger for progress, industry, mechanical, chemical & convenience-driven resources.

We move forward with the courage of a lion, the purpose and power of a budding flower, the resilience of a fearless warrior and the fragile preciousness of humanity. We look to the future with a clear view of our hopes and dreams as people with the capacity to be strong and sensitive, to encourage, care-for, cherish, lift-up and turn-on the light of the world. Yes it is well within our scope to diminish the darkness and refresh ourselves with the elements of love and peace.

Eternal Flame

May the eternal flame of peace, love and goodness endure. May compassion shine brighter everyday, until mankind distinguishes the furious fire raging among a humanity starving for respect and the essential necessities of life.

 

May you find quiet ports in your storms and may your hopes, dreams and prayers be lifted to an elevated place where you can share your blessings and lighten the burdens of those who do not know how or cannot lift themselves up, and may every drop of love and goodness that you receive flow freely from you into the broken hearts and spirits of those who can only imagine such riches.

Axis

This week the Summer Solstice occurred. Wednesday, June 21st marked the longest day of the year.  From the North Pole, earth's axis tilts, a perfectly orchestrated symphony of time and space, the cosmos speak, "mother earth cries, heaven-the holiest of holy places, smiles",.. from Carlos Santana's classic 70s anthem; Europa. ☼ The sun tugs gently on her precious head,  considering the magnitude, longitude, altitude and overall physical nature of the power and purpose of this annual spectacle, it is epic, dynamic, calculated and colossal in scope for this star gazer while nothing short of a miracle.

Since before the dawn of time, yet more evidence of the magnificance beyond measure, of the blueprint of the cosmos laid bare for all to behold.

☼ Suddenly in the middle of the day the sun is suspended at it's farthest from the earth.  The maneuver is done in such a way that it does not appear to interrupt life as we understand it, or does it? 
Again shifts occur, Summer is underway yet this part of the world draws closer to the shorter days of winter. Fascinating, unfathomable, the possibilities and variables, complexities-- in keeping the world spinning precisely. Given the vulnerable, amazing design, form and function of planet earth and it's dwellers.., humanity has endured much while evolving into a curious collection of life at it's worst and best, it's darkest and brightest.
