Roadways

May your steps know the lightness

of a burden free journey

May you be lifted on the breezes

and caressed by the sun

May you integrate the peace gifted

in moments.....

May you shed the sorrow and the doubt

 behind you

End the chase, end the running

May you allow the intersections and the

souls who intersect there, with yours

May you rise above your path.....floating

when the rocks and ruts encumber you

May you walk with your own wild wisdom

May you marry it with the wisdom awaiting

you

And within your journey, on these

roadways of your soul.......

May you meet yourself fully

and rejoice in the relationship that ripens

simultaneous.....

Ever on this journey

endless

alone

Or in stride

alongside

The soil, the stone

The wood and

the wind

There is no stop

There is no begin

 

A circular journey

Endless

Beginning less

Always a spiral spinning....

turning

Shining, raining

Emoting the moment

fleeting

Fearless and victorious

 Endlessly.... simultaneous

 

Ever on.... dear traveler

of your own

soul

Finding the center

of this journey's circle

is perhaps your goal

For in the center of the

circle is too, the center

of your self

 

In the footprints of others

who have traveled

this same land

Walking stick in humbled

hand

Having explored this same circle

in moments

prior

Yet, still and always

simultaneous

 

Ever on, all of us

walking the circle
Owning our

soul's curves

and bends

Knowing no beginning

Suffering no end

Simultaneously.... within this planetary

circle of 

endless souls

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blown Away

The shout goes out, "EVER ON"! I hope Peoria is ready for a gathering of epic proportion!!! They say the third time is the charm. We know we have been charmed from the very beginning. As we continue to blend into a cohesive cluster of souls, we feel the deep connection become more seated in our centers. Such a gift and an honor it is to be with my soul family.

As we all prepare for the meeting, you can just feel the anticipation, the joy, the drive to be in the same place at the same time in mingled embraces with laughs echoing out into the cosmos. We leave a piece of ourselves there each year, when we turn around to head back to our second homes. And then, each year, we head back to our collective home to retrieve that piece that has been maturing at the river's edge. This year, I know we will discover such deep connection, it may once again, blow us all away. To be blown away in a single moment has become yet another amazing experience of this union we are all a part of. Reunited in a place called Peoria, known to us now as We-oria.

Dan, once again, as I so often do, I share my gratitude and my humble respect for your passion and your purpose. You teach me daily, and sometimes every second of that day, that we are indeed blessed as we spin on this rock; this planet, 3rd from the sun. We now bask in the sun of our synergized souls, so happy to share our walk here with our family of the soul.

From a place so deep inside myself so primal, pristine and perfect, I bow my head to you. I aspire to be like you......fearless and forthright as I walk the trail as it meets my feet, my life, my awareness.
You are my mentor on this journey called life. Aho, soulful traveler.

For Brother Bear

Nature continues her cycles, ever on, ever strong, ever long.
We invade her, thinking she is there for us.....this is so wrong. If we choose to live in harmony with her, the true kinship is revealed. Are we so ignorant to believe that we have dominion over any thing? How absurd.....a species who rapes and kills their own, who steals from others and takes what is not theirs is deserving to govern over any other species? I think not!

One our road trip yesterday, I was driving along a beautiful, twisting, meandering mountain road...we were out there alone, no other cars. Suddenly I came to a quick, dead stop. Joe was perplexed and loudly asked me what the hell I was doing. To him I replied, "Look", as I pointed to the right side of the road intently, speaking loudly myself!
There he saw the doe that had almost run across the road, "Oh" he said.

She looked at me, our eyes connecting, as she studied me to see what I might do. Big, beautiful dark eyes asking me silently which way I was going. I moved the car a tad so she would know, and she returned to where she had come from.

We must tread softly in the domain we are so honored to be a part of, people.
