In our Hearts we rise
like the morning Light
which serves the world
embracing each other
in concentric circles
and colored vibrations
which fill the vessel
from which we all
drink in Harmony and Unity

Daybreak Blessings from York, Maine
 11.25.15 Charlie Riverman Bergeron


As I opened my facebook page this morning I was facing this photograph and writing which someone had tagged me with. I was Gobsmacked!

There is so much to be thankful for in my life and the kindness of others is one of the most precious.

It is in the smallest of actions
that sometimes the greatest
Thanks Giving
can make us sit in wonder
at how precious all of us truly are.

The shift in each of our hearts from fear to love is sometimes a very deep struggle for many of us, in which much pain has to be released before we can fully actualize it.
This Is Thanks Giving!

Glimpses of ourselves living and respecting each other and committing to bring about change for the good of all.
This Is Thanks Giving!

Finding a balance and harmony that not only flows and carries us but literally lifts us to new heights of self love and appreciation.
This Is Thanks Giving!

Thanks Giving is what we are to celebrate every day. Not just about one moment in the human history which was falsely recorded to reflect and glorify a sense of gratitude.

So lets us now repair the falsity and exaggerated drama,
which surrounds the days we have chosen,
to be a reminder of what we are to be and do everyday.

Thanks Giving is everyday when we truly live from our hearts.
It is then transformed into Thanks Living!

Let us celebrate Thanks Living everyday!

Let us pour Love forth from our Heart of Hearts
to lift each other, fill each other,
embrace each other in the utmost respect
as the amazing beings we truly are
created to experience evolution
while existing on a sentient planet
in this Macroverse of living energy

And so the answer to the title question is no…
Everyday is Thanksgiving when We are Thanksliving

May your Living reflect Your Loving!
May Your Loving empower your Living!

Peace, Light and Love

To the Bullies…

charlie-9

To the Bullies of the world… I see you, I have always seen you.

When you made fun of me
When you robbed me
When you molested me
When you threatened me
When you beat me up

I still see you parading as though you have all the right in the world to be mean and uncaring.

However… what I really see, is the damaged little child that hides in your heart.

Who was neglected
Who was sexually abused
Who suffered hunger
Who became broken

I have fought you
I have hated you
I have outed you
and yet you still remain while I have changed

I do not fear you, or your behaviors as I now recognize them as a cry for help
For your pain is far greater than mine

You will never understand Love and Compassion
You will never understand Unity and Lovingkindness
You will always be separated from who you truly are

Deeply lost in your secret hiding place
from where you throw out your destructive
and violent self-hatred energy

Hoping that someday it will empty
and you will be able to feel loved

I can Love You
but I don’t have to be near you
or be your victim
and nothing you can do can stop me

For you show me how to be thankful
that I am … not you

and so my wish for you is…

May your heart open ever so slightly
and allow Peace, Light and Love
to seep ever so gently into it
that I May welcome you back from your Hell

Shining Your Light

19 Saturday Nov 2016

Blessings, Inspiration, Meditations, Photography, Poetry, Prayers, Reflection, Writing

dsc_0301-1

How beautiful you are!
How utterly amazing and brilliant you are!

Shining Your Light is a topic that I find myself continually processing in my own daily life. Many people ask, what does that really mean, and I find myself answering in many ways depending on whom I may be speaking to.

Light is the energetic essence behind all life as I perceive it. It is the source of our being which we have named in so many ways, creating religions around it and without which, life as we know it in human form would not be possible. It is both Star energy and Galactic energy which is definable only to which point our limitations allow us to understand. Yes, we are Galactic beings who live in a dimensional frequency which has limitations. We know and overcome these only through our ability to discern by comparison and integration at our human level.

Light however is the essence behind all of our actions. When our actions are guided through the conscious mind of what we call awareness, they are filtered according to life experience or genetic memory, which comes to us through the DNA of our ancestors. This means that our Light is filtered through a collective awareness of past experiences in which all humanity have recorded and passed many of their fragments, both positive and negative, on to the current generations.

We also filter Our Light in accordance to the collective energy fields in which it is broadcast within at any given moment. So we find ourselves feeling many different levels of intensity based on our timeline experiences and environments, both personally and globally.

This brings me to the current situations that are happening around the world today, not just in America but in every human gathering. There is much anger and hatred, pain and suffering, hunger and abuse, as well as erratic leadership which is being fueled at an accelerated rate, beyond which our global humanity has ever experienced before. The individual instances or perpetrators are not needed to be named or blamed, yet we need to realize that they are a part of the whole which has now become extremely unbalanced.

This is where Shining Your Light comes in…

We have been told and made to believe that our power is limited, that we need a leader, that if we were left to our own devices we would not survive. This is not the truth, but an agreement our ancestors made to live by, out of fear. It is no longer able to sustain itself as a viable concept anymore as more awaken to the Light They Are.

Yes, you feel it as it begins to flow through your heart. It cannot be denied once you understand what it is. It is you at another dimensional level of yourself, entering into your physical presence and directing you to open your heart, in spite of your fear.

Each of us are a powerful Ray of Light which has the capacity to change and transmute anything and everything it comes into contact with, through our collective unification and alignment. As we align with each other and let go of our judgment which precedes fear,  Our Light begins to quantify. When we direct it in harmony and balance towards any negative, self-limiting or globally destructive behavior, it dis-empowers that energy and transmutes it.

Many Rays As One…

Mother Earth needs Your Light right now!
She is evolving just as we are evolving and it is Our Light which she is calling for, more so, than the light of the Sun or the Central Sun. It is through each of Us that the birthing of a New Earth will be eased and induced.

So as I reflect upon the transgressions around the world which all serve to distract us from gathering together in Light, it becomes more obvious that the power We Truly Are is what is feared most in this world…

Be Your Light – Shine Your Light
allow it resonate with others who are just beginning to Shine
send it to all the areas or situations that upset you
it is renewable and will increase the more you give

Listen to your Heart for this is your Greatest Light
The Light of Peace
The Light of Love

Many blessings to each of you
I Send You My
Peace, Light and Love

Same As It Ever Was ???

11 Friday Nov 2016

Tags

Blessings, Inspiration, Meditations, Photography, Poetry, Prayers, Reflection, Writing

2016_10_19_1635_

Isn’t it an amazing journey this awareness we call Life?
To be physically present in a body which is totally dependent on its environment to experience it.

We are about to make a giant leap forward!

Here in the United States we had an election which could be called the Greatest Show On Earth… at least for the moment.
No offense to Dan Rice or Ringling Brothers!

I was reminded, as I sat down to write, of the song by Talking Heads – Once On A Lifetime.
Same as it ever was…
Same as it ever was…
Same as it ever was…

kept playing through my silly mind and I finally relaxed enough to let go of my pent up energy.

The above picture of the York River with the ducks so quietly floating in the distance conveyed the next message…
Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money’s gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

and I became like the ducks who are unfazed by politics except the results of which destroy their and our environment.

Yes, we will all survive the next President and hopefully learn more about our relationships to each other and the world which sustains us. We are all co-creators and need to tune in to those songlines which run deep through Mother Earth.

Life is not all about economics or consumption, profit and loss or any of the other agreements we have made over the thousands of years of our human existence here.
It is about who we are as caretakers and family members of a species here which is as fragile as the many life forms which have and are now becoming extinct.

Yes! We are about to make a giant leap forward and we may fall a few times.
We may get a few scrapes, bruises, bleed a little or need a few sutures, but we can do this.
We have amazing resilience and strength in our collective wisdom.
We are to Teach Our Children Well

Another song popping in to my head which I played and sang for years in my younger days, Crosby, Stills Nash and Young…

“Teach Your Children”
You, who are on the road must have a code that you can live by.
And so become yourself because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well, their father’s hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they picks, the one you’ll know by.
Don’t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.
And you, of tender years can’t know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth, they seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well, their children’s hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they picks, the one you’ll know by.                   

Don’t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And know as well, that I Love You, my brothers and sisters, and I look forward to what you and I will co-create from our hearts as we continue in this journey we call Life.

Morning 1st Glance 10.27.16

2016_10_27_1655_

Isn’t it a beautiful world
when we can be thrilled by color
quietly carried in the feathers
of those who visit our yards
in the not so early morning…

2016_10_27_1659_

There within a stone’s throw
and on constant alert
they protect each other with alertness
thankful for the offering of food
from the human gatherer
yet wary of his threat to their survival

2016_10_27_1655_

Satisfied of no imminent danger
while still attuned with all faculties
they are united in their energy

Teaching us all that sustainability
is dependent on trusting each other
to share in the abundance
while on guard from predators

quiet-waters

Quiet Waters resonate
internal stillness
all perception fades away

Let us take a moment whenever possible

to make available
to acknowledge

…internal stillness…

to permit
to yield

…all perception…

to create space
to Allow

In Peace We Remember

Inspiration, Photography, Poetry, Reflection, Writing

2016_09_13_1512_We are filled
with fading memories
of beautiful moments
enriched by love

All worries and fears
are left behind
in the body
where they once dwelled

We rise
in a glorious vibration
of our deepest
heart resonance

A sea of joy
on which we float
carefree once again
enriched by love

A Maple, Some Marigolds and a Bee

2016_10_08_1613_

Beloved maple in my yard
today you do not embrace the sun…
your green is almost gone
your orange turns to red
and deepens
much like our love
for each other

2016_10_08_1618_

Beloved marigolds
planted each year
around this tree held together
so that birds have a place to perch
how brilliant you are
in the midst
of changing seasons

2016_10_08_1614_

Beloved brother Bee
thank you for your amazing work

2016_10_08_1615_

too busy to notice me
while you swiftly visit

2016_10_08_1616_

four different flowers
to gather your precious bounty

2016_10_08_1617_

I will savor these moments
during the long cold Winter
knowing full well
the beauty
each of you have
left in my memory

2016_09_29_1600_

Some mornings we awaken
in a somewhat tranquil state
not seeing the Sun yet
and question arising

The cool temperature of Autumn
settling in all around us
with heavy dew on the grass
and branches becoming barren

Beaches remaining untouched
except for the lack of tourists
who now are left with memories
of their escapades in the sand

Yet new sensations of color
begin to lift our hearts
as we move into patterns
that are more reflective
2016_10_06_1607_

As we begin to settle ourselves
gathering many resources
for the journey through Winter
which grounds us all once again

Tonight I pray…

May we all accept our responsibility to protect and preserve our most precious Home – Earth – from destruction

May our grandchildren and future generations forgive us
when they can no longer live here on Earth

May they have memories of how beautiful our Home was
when the rivers flowed and the land was fertile
