Each of us is here right now to offer each other the best of who WE are.
The following words are my “Riverman Mantra”, which came through me when I had lost everything of any value that we humans hold to be precious and dear.
Everyday Is An Adventure
It Can Be Your Wildest Fantasy
Or Your Worst Nightmare
“You” Choose
Your Wildest Fantasy Is A Limited Thought
And Your Worst Nightmare Is Just An Illusion
~Charlie Riverman Bergeron~
It speaks of who WE TRULY ARE, deep within OUR HEART.
It reminds us that our most significant loss throughout life is our deep inner heart connection, not something outside of us.
The Gift of Life, which comes from within…
Each breath is a Gift of Life that began as physical pain in both Mother and Child during birthing. There was great pain but no suffering.
The suffering follows as the illusion of separating from who we indeed and genuinely are as One, began.
Let us now remember and return to Our Divine Wholeness.

Nourishing Happiness – Chapter 5
These three exercises are along the lines of the Visuddhimagga: (The Path of Purification)
May I know how to nourish the seeds of joy in myself every day. May he/she know how much to nourish the seeds of joy in him/herself every day. May they know how to nourish the seeds of joy in themselves every day.
May I be able to live fresh, solid, and free. May he/she be able to live fresh, solid, and free. May they be able to live fresh, solid, and free.
May I be free from attachment and aversion, but not be indifferent. May he/she be free from attachment and aversion but not be indifferent. May they be free from attachment and aversion but not be indifferent.
Today on the New Moon, my Water Ceremonies were several…. they began by gathering the Waters which have been keep Sacred on my altars. The Triad of trees in my own yard were the first recipients of the Sacred Water.
The Apple is the oldest and was one tree with three trunks standing vertical though hollowed out by time and weather. The winds now have the last one laying and still sprouting branches which offer apples as a testimony to the strength of nature’s rooted beings.
Next was the Birch being the Sacred Tree which called me to live here many years ago. When the leaves are full you can see the shape of the Kokopelli playing his flute. If you listen very carefully you will feel it in your heart.
Grandmother Maple, whose roots dwell in the runoff area of an underground stream that flows to the river. A part of the original farmland as watering for the pasture animals. The changes of the landscape by settlers and now the oversized homes of the wealthy fortunately have not deterred the Water from Her sacred journey, just diverting it a bit.
Across what was a dirt road when I came here, my neighbor who lives on the shore of the Agamenticus River (York River) tells me that in her yard this tree with six trunks is over 250 years old. It is well rooted on the high bank carved by thousands of years of Water flowing both to and from the River to the Atlantic Ocean for it is tidal here.
Honoring the ancestors of the land I use the name Agamenticus and always offer my ceremony here to those who knew the Land and Water in a much deeper communal living relationship.
Now down to the Blue Fish bottle after blessing all the Trees on my way to this special shoreline, it rests there upon the rocks as I offer ceremony to the River Herself. Pouring the remaining Blessed Water, the winds actually stopped while the words of sacredness flowed from within the Waters of my Heart. Not just to the Water but all the Elementals which have been witness to the many changes over hundreds of years and yet continue to invite us as humans to listen to their wisdom.
Bless You All from the Hearts of those of us who honor the Sacredness of Water and offer ceremonies in accordance with the cycles of the Moon.
I Love You I Thank You I Respect You I Am You You Are Me We Are Unity ~Riverman
Grand Rising Beloveds… What we call Life is only a moment. It is so much more than that. Offering each of us only a moments view of what We truly Are. Let us gather in Our Greater Light and there will be no need to forget. ~Riverman
Called by Spirit to the top of Mt Agamenticus and offering a ceremony of Love and Gratitude to the Waters for All.
Water in all forms
has a living presence
Â
We are also that Water
within our form
Â
Every molecule of Water within us
is an ancient traveler
Â
It is in liquidity
that all transformation is seeded
Â
The intention of transformation
becomes transmutation
Â
As we return to our liquidity
before entering back into form
Â
Let us honor our liquidity
and flow without hesitation
around all obstacles
Â
In order to nourish and fulfill
All that we call life in form
Â
Every form embraces Water molecules
as a part of its journey through time and space
Â
From the opening of Our Hearts
to the embracing of Water in all forms
It is the call that every human is now hearing
Â
In order to receive and accept
its perfect balance once again

Thank you Great Creator for your Gracious Presence.
May you for always hear us in the moments of our despair.
Today We come to ask for the restoration of our magnificence both individually and collectively as We move forward on our evolutionary path.
Each one of us are questioning everything seeking wise guidance and the proper tools that will assist us in following your guidance
Let it be We who bring restoration to a new level of meaningfulness wherein Peace, Light and Love flow in a better balance and harmony
May it be the co-creative restorative process that inspires others into seeking moments of positive action for all life forms whether We understand them as living or not.
Let Restoration begin within our own living presence opening the passageways for Inner Joy to become manifest and offered with Love to All.
May We Lead from within our hearts to help renew all of our commitments with the re-balancing of all that has become unstable both within and around us globally
As the restoration process removes the distortion and scarring of centuries within ourselves Let us also reach out to all children as leaders
Showing them how restoration is more than just a healing of our present wounds it is also an awakening to what is needed in their future.
So Together Today We Ask for renewal and strength within ourselves We Ask for a better understanding of the qualities of leadership – both ours and others We ask for encouragement and inspiration for all future generations.
In order that we correct the errors and heal the wounds of the past Renewing our commitment to live in a more Unified Future of Humanity.
