Perhaps

It is the Vernal Equinox today which brings up our connection to the planet and the balance of Her seasonal energies.

As I opened this page this morning I was hit with the word “Perhaps” and it struck me as very odd. Then while looking for a photograph to inspire a thought… this picture called out to be posted.

The next word that I was sent off to inquire about was “ambiguity” and I pondered if there was a relationship between these three which was being embraced in this seasonal reflection of the day.

I now wonder where this will take me as I type and allow the words to flow from my fingertips.

Both words are aligned on a vibration of uncertainty. I see each as a looking forward and questioning of oneself of what possibilities or adventures may be confronted to make a choice from. So too, the Equinox is also denoting a forward motion of life cycles which we have no exact foreknowledge of, as to their mode of manifestation.

2017_03_12_1785_.JPG

This brings us to the marvelous rock which was placed to protect the shoreline from erosion at Nubble Light across from the Lighthouse. The markings of erosion and its distinguished patterning was certainly not planned as to create a work of art, yet there it is.

The Gulf Stream Waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Sun and Rain have worked to create over time a revealing of beauty that was not previously expressed and hidden.

My mind questions if the stone ever had a choice in this exposure of inner self. How much did the seasonal changes or weathering come from a desire within, in some deeper communication, as to attract the external forces which it was to endure.

The  Equinoxes therefore are “perhaps” one of those ancient influences which remind us all of our connection to the “ambiguity” of ourselves. Although not like the stone, we do have conscious choices to make.

It is these choices which we face of revealing our vulnerabilities, that bring about our wanting to remain hard and strong, defying all who dare challenge how we are perceived by others.

Creating over many seasons “doubtfulness” and “vagueness” about who we are and why we should “as the case may be” allow ourselves to be worn away, by both the inner and outer waters over cycles of time.

“Perhaps” our “ambiguity” needs to be released during the Equinoxes and allowed to be washed away in order to reveal the truth and beauty that exists without “uncertainty”

Each of us are a Work of Art in progress.

Full Moon Water Blessing 3.12.17

2017-03-12 14.36.27

On the 12th of March I had the wonderful pleasure of Blessings waters in the Watershed of Mt Agamenticus.  This is the York River where I call home just across the river from here.

2017_03_12_1775_.JPG

The first stop I was called to was the Piscataqua River in Eliot and I parked right next to these beautiful Birch trees.

2017_03_12_1777_.JPG

Here is where I gave the first blessing and poured water that had been gathering prayers and intentions for healing and releasing since the New Moon.

2017_03_12_1778_.JPG

Next I traveled to the Cape Neddick River which has suffered from some bacterial infections during the summers. Once again offering Prayers and Blessed Water.

2017_03_12_1780_.JPG

Here I arrived at the mouth of that river where it meets the Atlantic Ocean and the next Blessing with some help from a few winged friends  celebrating a day at the beach.

2017_03_12_1788_.JPG

Here we see the rocks as they enter the ocean at what is called Nubble Light. The cold wind is making the clarity of my purpose even more poignant as I once again offer Blessings.

2017_03_12_1791_.JPG

At Long Sands Beach this small stream crosses under the street without much notice. Yet this past Summer we had a drought and there was no water to be seen here at all.

2017_03_12_1792_.JPG

As you can see on the other side it shows its happiness here on Long Sands Beach. Once again another Blessing and offering of water was shared in gratitude for the abundance which flows again.

2017_03_12_1793_.JPG
This is a view of York Harbor Beach from the hill and park above it. It is a part of the charm of a small yet quiet beach which graces the shoreline of York Maine. Especially in the Winter months.

2017_03_12_1794_.JPG

Here is where the York River enters the Atlantic Ocean about 5 miles downstream from the first picture across from where I live.

2017-03-12 16.58.52.jpg

The last Blessing of this journey was at the town line of York and Kittery Maine. This is the marshland which opens out to Brave Boat Harbor and was called to at the last moment for the completion of this Blessing Adventure.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did in doing it.
I remind everyone that we each need to take a moment and Bless Our Waters.

Peace, Light and Love

Anecdote-Age and Time

Mt Agamenticus 02-20-2017

Much like the view from the top of Mt Agamenticus in York, Maine where I live, there are different perspectives of time.

Each of us think in the very short terms of linear thought. Where each connection is somewhat progressing in a rather straight and linear fashion. The pathways of this may wander considerably like the many trails to the top of the mountain. Yet the steps are quite small and recognizable due to there close proximity to each other.

An interesting observation on the day before my physical birth date…

This experience we call time
is never disconnected
we age in terms of years
yet eternally we exist
remembering early childhood
as well as galactic beginnings
~ Riverman

Often we allude to our spiritual journeys having many paths by which we reach the summit of the mountain. Then imagine what that would actually look like as we turn and watch the many sojourners, each on their own path during this process.

This is all bound in what we address as Time, yet those who have reached the peak of their spiritual mountain, may say it is but an illusion. The only sensual perception of it is perhaps being in the spacial concept of distance.

We then construct stories that are cohesive in a linear sense which have a past, present and future. So let us look at the picture again and see the distance as time.

We are here in the foreground, perhaps the tree which is firmly planted, is in what we deem reality. However as we look farther into the hazy outline of the distant mountains our thoughts begin to wander and become less clear and somewhat dreamlike.

In this foreground we can remember back to our birth here on this amazing planet as human beings. We understand our connection to each other and all that we have recorded as our lifetime of years. For me it is 68 physical years on the 10th of March.

Yet deep within each of us there is this knowledge that comes though which defies logic or rational contemplation. It is like the hazy distant mountains which have been here long before humans and most of the living forms we now take for granted.

Many which have moved into non-existence and become extinct were it not for our storytelling. Including this mountain which is a part of the caldera of an ancient volcano when the land was super-continent named Pangaea.

This is our connection to the eternal. That vaporous and non-lineal aspect of time which does not move in a straight line. It is a spiral which when elongated becomes a wave. We can only see clearly for a very short line along the wave. Beyond which memories of our eternal self as Light or Energy Beings from distant star systems begin to come through.

This is very unsettling to many as it contradicts so many beliefs and stories of who and what we are. There have been many confirmations which have been hidden or eradicated over the history of humanity yet it cannot erase our ability to see beyond the horizon.

This is where we are now in our evolution… at the top of the mountain. Seeing what is beneath as well as what is beyond. Sharing stories which trigger each others memories in order to correct or release them.

It is perfect and beautiful and may we share it without fear or ridicule for it is our collective timeline. Each of us through our ancestral DNA contributing to the now we are living.

As my father would say… I’m not in my dotage yet…I’m in my anecdote-age

Perhaps he meant he could now see beyond the crest of the wave in both directions and this little journey we call life, is but a series of short stories which are connected and woven like threads, in a much larger fabric of which we cannot understand.

All Ways Are Equal

Tags

, , , , , , , ,

winter-reflection

How often do I get this message to sit and write something?
How many times do I refuse and say not right now.

Usually if I find a picture to inspire me it helps, to open the gateway and allow the flow to begin. What you see above will be my guide this evening.

ALL WAYS ARE EQUAL were the words that wanted to fill the Title space.

Many times we feel that what we do or how we look at things is meaningless.
Especially as we compare ourselves to others rather than owning our own gifts.
There are always those who may say something more elegantly or appear much wiser than we are. Turning our ego mind into this raving lunatic of wasted energy.

Each of us are Creators
drawing out of nowhere
amazing neural synapses
that respond instantaneously

Hours upon hours
we spend in reflection
testing and aligning each word
as they spill forth in streams

Many times we then labor with self-doubt to try to understand the purpose of our taking the time to even want to do this.

ALL WAYS ARE EQUAL the message shouts at me, as I question the worth of all this chatter.

I ask why, as I feel that so many words from so many great minds have gone unnoticed and unheeded. So much so, that we have become deaf and blind to truth and become enamored by falsity and craftiness.

ALL WAYS ARE EQUAL an echo returns again from deep within my heart.

The answer returns very rapidly that I cannot type it quick enough in a coherent manner …

They are equal just as you as humans are all equal
the ways are only the expressions of uniqueness
the individuality of the wholeness in each of you
herein lies the oneness of all life expressing itself

Remember children that there is no better way… only a different way
ALL WAYS ARE EQUAL

Ecliptical RE-Setting

Tags

, , , , ,

Lake Winnipesaukee Fog.jpg

It has been an amazing past 10 days of energy which has included a New Moon and Solar Eclipse, 2 Asteroids passing by closely and an increased Schumann resonance that has affected us all, in ways we may never understand.

For each of us it has been unique, even when we are not aware of what is happening. However we have made it through and are now Resetting  ourselves back to zero in order to move into a completely new field of resonance and evolutionary experience.

My writing has been sparse as it has been challenging to stay focused or grounded. At some points it became quite humorous. I would set my intentions to focus or do something and within moments something would occur to distract me or supersede it.

So if any of you who read this can relate, please know that it is not anything that is long-lasting yet will recur throughout the year and eventually will become less distracting or stressful.

So leading into the energies which ramped up on 2/22/17…

2.21
As my heart fills with the Living Loving Light of your words
the resonance fills my body and aura with the joyous remembrance of Truth.

That Truth which cannot be denied or transmuted into any form which is not complete in itself.

Feeling that completeness
I bow to each of you who are now deeply touched
and become once more a single yet powerful beat in harmony within this Heart of Love.

2.21
Being guided to work quietly in aligning with energetic grids both Earthly and Galactic…
ERA = energetic realigning activation
was the message I received about what was happening.

On Sunday the 26th, for a Circle Of Hearts Radio Show that I do monthly with Grandmother Allayah, the word RESET was to be the focus of our talk.

The following was written just prior to going on the air.
2.26
RESET

RECALIBRATION

Have I come this far to be confused???
RECALCULATE

Step 1
REVELATION
REVOLUTION
RENEWAL

Step 2
RECOGNIZING
REALIZING
RECEIVING
RELEASING

Step 3
RESTORATION
RESONANCE
RELIEF

End RESULT
RETURNING
to fully activated multi-dimensional self

Basic Forms
Simple Plans

The words you think are more powerful than those you use.
They will come through without any effort for they are ancient codes which have been carried through our DNA in many different languages and across many galaxies.

Link to the show

3.2
Finally today I feel much less challenged by it all and I am able to focus on more earthly physical endeavors as the multi-dimensional self has become a bit more integrated, or as we talked about, RESET.

Hence the title Elliptical Re-Setting…
as I set about to write today I was reminded of the cycles both in nature and the universe.

The photograph is of Lake Winnipesaukee in  New Hampshire, blanketed in fog on the 24th with water appearing in all its forms much like we have been feeling… Multi-dimensional !!

Then I began to see the patterns of the planets revolving around the Sun in their elliptical pathways and acknowledged this in my own energy  this week. Feeling as if I had flown a bit too close to the Sun like Icarus, yet recalculating and returning unharmed instead.

So we have learned perhaps a great deal about ourselves in this journey of 10 days and it is now we must put it into use.

An oracle card this morning prompted the following response from me and I now feel somewhat redeemed and moved into a completely new self-awareness.

How important it is to know our boundaries, to honor them and if not, then create them.

3.2
Each one of us are responsible for setting our own boundaries. It is a process that many of us fail to faithfully execute as we serve others in our various energetic capacities. Creating boundaries is not like building a wall which excludes but establishing a distinction between what is ours to lovingly share and what is taken without respect or gratitude.

49 Sunny Degrees in Maine

2017_02_23_1771_

Yes it is a touch of Spring here in Southwestern Maine today and through the snow my dog Lillybelle and I walked to the river.

Heading to our sacred spot where we, or should say I, always give Blessings of Thanksgiving and Prayers for the Water.

A familiar honking of our transient visitors the Canada Goose let us know we were not alone and trespassing into their solitude. So with every step we advanced they left the grassy shoreline and slowly but not quietly moved downstream.

Reaching the wonderful meeting place of the waters it felt so wonderful to have this mid-winter respite and opportunity to speak aloud to Nature in all Her Glory.

2017_02_23_1773_

My prayer today was one of asking forgiveness, and healing for all of us as humans…

In the serenity of the warmth and loving Sun
the gentle ebb and flow of the river
the presence of all life forms in this peacefulness
I ask that we may be forgiven

Help us to remember our interdependence
as well as how we have abused you Mother Earth
taking for granted and control of so much life
without respect or contribution to their welfare

Forgive us for our life cycle has been harmful
defilement and pollution continue, undaunted
our not keeping our hearts close to you
is destroying us all and we need to heal

Dear Mother Forgive Us
Heal Us Consciously
Open Our Hearts
Let Us Feel The Waters
In Our Bodies
And Return To Balance

Thoughts and Words 3

2017-02-20-14-06-36

Today at the top of Mt Agamenticus in York Maine looking over at the White Mountains of New Hampshire in the distance.
How wonderful it is to experience both the view and the fresh air of mid-winter.
A world of no words… yet completely understood.

As for words, Riverman has collected a few that were shared over social media this week and may you enjoy them as well.

2.12
Politics is the curse of humanity… it is the divide and conquer strategy which keeps us slaves to a system that is not sustainable any longer.

2.14
Where there is Love
all of Life unifies
Let us Be Love

2.15
Deep within the very core of our being there are sparks of energy, that are dancing in a field of resonance… it is each of us sharing Love without restrictions.

2.15
The world we imagine was corrupted long ago and this has always been the way it was always done. This imagined world is collapsing because it is no longer sustainable and it cannot move into the new energy. WE have witnessed this many times and this is why we are here now to hold the energy in balance.

2.15
The market is shrinking because people are not working… people are not working because the market is shrinking… this is unsustainable living created by greedy corporations and their elite.

2.16
All water is Sacred… it is a living environment upon which all other living forms emerge from.

2.18
Let us dare to be the truth, an undefined Self that sees through the falsity of illusion.

2.19
To truly love without conditions there can be no judgments, for judgment is separation.

2.20
Vibrating in a frequency of Love we move through it all, easily and effortlessly.

Many Blessings

Recalibration

Recalibration.JPG

Trying to describe how we feel sometimes is a very challenging proposition. The word that comes to mind for me is Recalibration.

An amazing word to describe our life process when our vision gets blurry. Much like getting new glasses when our sight become a bit blurry. Our eyeglasses just need to be re-calibrated.

2017 has hit most of us right between the eyes… yes, in that 3rd eye chakra if you will!

Each of us is receiving a new vision and sense of purpose, working through so much, which no longer fits what that looks like. It is challenging us on so many levels and at the same time it becomes wearisome and begins to deplete our energies.

The picture I chose to play with was taken on an adventure last year to New Mexico. As I was walking to the airport from my hotel room I could feel the altitude affecting me. I was short of breath and my usual stamina and vigor was not responding to this very short walk.

I had to stop several times and regroup my energy to continue and this one shot was underneath a tree which became my temporary refuge. It reminded me of the neural network of our brains. Which at that moment was questioning why I chose to walk instead of get a cab.

The contrast between the shadowy branches and the morning light radiating on those with buds, is truly where we are right now in our evolution as a collective species named humanity.

It is up to each individual to re-calibrate now and many are either unaware or reluctant to change.

Recalibration will test us at all levels, for we can no longer utilize the same instrumentation that has guided us to this destination. It just will not respond properly.

So as the pilots of these amazing vehicles we call bodies we are faced with overriding much of the programming that has been operating safely and satisfactorily for so many lifetimes.

We have not readily seen the collateral damage we have caused because we have never questioned the programming. However now we are feeling as well as seeing the effects of this autopilot navigation system as it fails to self-correct.

So…
let us recalibrate together and assist each other without getting lost in the larger picture
let us co-create by building upon each others contributions to the sustainable whole
let us rest when we are weak or tired and know that our destination is very close by
let us remember that there will be a cab to take if we stand on the corner and flag it down

It is not that what we are looking for is more important now, but more so, what we no longer need to carry any further with us.

The airport is just up the hill and to our left
we will arrive and be on time for our flight
it will set recalibration as a standard practice
for all who follow behind us

We are the first among many
re-calibrators and co-creators
preparing the way for a better vision
of humanity to anchor itself
and deepen its roots
in unity with Mother Earth

A Snowy Day in York Maine

2017-02-16-08-18-49

Out of my bedroom window facing East this morning, Grandfather Maple in white.

2017-02-16-08-20-16

Looking South my neighbors are nestled and hidden away from each other.

2017-02-16-08-20-53-1Then looking to the West the density along the river invites me to dream of hidden animals.
2017-02-16-08-21-36-1

North along the borderline between an old field and the backyards everything surrenders.

2017-02-16-11-11-24

At 11:11 a.m. the Sun greets us over the Birch tree with its golden halo .

2017-02-16-13-21-26

Now an afternoon walk, shoveling done, the York River gracefully flows beyond the trees.

2017-02-16-13-22-41

Blue sky briefly appearing in the Northwest adding a bit of color to our palette of grays.

2017-02-16-13-23-25

Finally as we turn to head home, Lillybelle hears other dogs and we head off to greet them.
