The Butterfly and the Evergreen…
This is indeed Winter Solstice here in the Northern Hemisphere, when the Sun stands still and we experience the shortest allotment of light possible.
A time of deep inner reflection and realignment with our future self.
This was a memory on my facebook page which greeted me as I opened it this morning. Two beautiful and poignant symbols for such an amazing time of transition in human evolution.
The poetry by Linda Mottet was an inspired response to the original posting and perfectly describes how many of us feel right now, even though this was written a year ago.
Don’t know if I have lost myself,
or found myself,
I must be somewhere in between
shadow and illusion,
and the Real and Unseen.
– Linda Mottet
The Butterfly is a true symbol of Transmutation. It not only has begun as an egg, it has two more stages of life before it becomes the butterfly.
It is the symbol of the Soul which is constant, yet is contained in many forms before it’s resurrection.
Their messages are of Joy and Lightheartedness as if always dancing through their very meaningful purpose of creation, with deep resonance.
Each of us are Butterflies which have emerged and may have forgotten, our purpose is to be peaceful, attentive and joyful in our sense of creation, whatever that may be.
So I ask… Can we find ourselves in the Butterflies?
Knowing that we may only be larvae or the caterpillar in this moment. Always seeking the next opportunity to serve in our Divine capacity.

The Evergreen represents the immortality of the Soul and the unchanging nature of the Spirit whose strength and innocence along with virtuosity are the steadfast guiding forces of creation.
It reminds us also of our earthiness as it’s roots extend deep into the soil and maneuver around obstacles, which it then utilizes to keep steadfast.
Each of us once again being the Evergreen digging deeper into the mysteries of ourselves and the the darkness of initiation. Discerning the shadow from illusion, in order to better serve as the Light.
So I ask… Can we allow ourselves to be the Evergreens?
Knowing that our roots are placed firmly in darkness without fear, while our strength to remain our Spirit of balance and virtue is everlasting.
And so the Sun Standing Still, has the power to reveal that we are much more alike than separate.
We are Butterflies and Evergreens
We are Souls in Transmutable forms
We are Divine Spirits of Light
Solstice Blessings to each of you

There is a space within our hearts
which can only be reached by tears
the deeper well of our experiences
which never fails to arise and release
May you reach deeply and pour forth
all of that which no longer serves
our highest good or that of others
and which cannot be denied any longer
So that we may move freely once more
delighting all with our presence

It is with the greatest pleasure as a Council member of LovingWaters that I introduce you all to Loving Waters.Life which has just gone live today on 12.12.16 as a website.
This has been a journey of Love and Passion for the Water which began in the hearts of true Water Faithful Mothers. It has been a journey filled with laughter and joy, heartbreak and anger and every emotion that is humanly recognizable. As well as a few, that perhaps are not yet understood on a third dimensional level.
I invite each of you to come and join us from all over the world as we gather and share in Water Blessings and Ceremonies, learning and teaching what Water brings forth to each of us through our passion and commitment.

From the Front Page of the Website…
Together we connect what has long been separated
and celebrate what is most sacred ~ the Source of Life ~
Our Mother Earth and her Water
~ Elizabeth Herald ~
We’re a growing community of Water lovers, advocates and guardians uniting together in remembrance of our primary sacred relationship ~ Life as Water.
Our intention is to celebrate our One Water as the Source of All Life upon our beloved Mother Earth, and to globally encourage the simple act of giving gratitude to our Water, through various ceremonies and blessings, as a significant pathway to healing and reconciliation for the planet.
Each month on the full moon, we gather together virtually and locally in our own watershed, to connect in gratitude as individuals, family, friends and community receiving and giving of the blessings of the Water. In doing so, we deepen our love and honor for Water as Source. Any traditions of Water blessings which resonate with you are welcomed and honored.
Monthly, on the new moon, Loving Waters also provides connection, support, focus and inspiration for these ‘Water Guardians’ on a monthly conference call. As well as encouraging each of our broader actions on this website and by hosting a lively social networking presence.
There is much Water Wisdom here, arising from our collective heart, so explore around. If you appreciate what you discover, then please consider joining us as a fellow Water Guardian.

A flowing response to a message from Grandmother AH’LU’SH’Mah through KA’ryna SH’ha
as I sat quietly and listened…
We have come, gathering and flowing
from the heavens into density
Dancing into the vortex of all creation
Sitting now in the midst
of both the words and the vibrations
of our hearts from which All flows
Each of us from beyond space and time
Each of us bearing gifts of distinction
Each of us containing the codes of creation
Present now and activating
individually and collectively
embraced by the Water we Are
Water Beings returning to Earth
As once before in ages past
some will lead, some will follow,
some will hold space and energy
Transmuting through Love and Light
of the Highest Divine Order
connected and extending
through our Councils of Light
From where in Blessed Communion
We remember and embrace our Divine Purposes
Co-Creating now in Balance and Harmony

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

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

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.

31 Monday Oct 2016

The last night of October is the start of Samhain (which is pronounced “sow-in”), the great Celtic festival when the dead walk among the living, the fires are extinguished and rekindled, the god and the goddess come together in sacred union, and as the year turns from light to dark, the seeded earth prepares to give birth again.
If you have never learned to dream or see visions or to feel the presence of the spirits who are always about – if you have never traveled beyond the gates of death or looked into the many realms of the Otherworld – this is the time when you’ll see beyond the veil all the same, because the Otherworld is going to break down the walls of the little box you call a world, and its residents are coming to call on you.
Text adapted from The Dreamer’s Book of the Dead by Robert Moss (Destiny Books)
Full Article … The Robert Moss BLOG
May the ancestors deliver blessings on you and yours…
May the new year bear great fruits for you…
May your granted wishes be as many as the seeds in a pomegranate…
May the slide into darkness bring you light…
May the memories of what has been keep you strong for what is to be…
May this Samhain cleanse your heart, your soul, and your mind!
— traditional Samhain blessing

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…

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

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
