2016_02_06_1040_.JPG

This was not my view this morning… as a matter of fact there is no snow and it is windy and raining.
January 3rd and my intentions of getting organized around my several creative projects awakened me, yet became somewhat dissipated in a very short period of time.

Oh how distant is the journey
between thought and form
wherein we become distracted
so easily and without warning

The list and order have not been altered
only the time-frame becomes disjointed
and now I type to at least fulfill
the desire for creative expression

2017 let me embrace you in fullness
my desires are not extravagant
and truly align with my heart
yet my practice is very weak

Perhaps it is not too late today
write a new Bio for the book
send a letter to last year’s clients
and take the measurements
for the new woodworking project

Perhaps it isn’t as bad as I thought…
At least I’m half way to writing 300 words today.

May 2017 be a challenge in which your only opponent is your self.
YOU are much more than you perceive… BE THE LIGHT YOU ARE

How do we say Thank You to the Water…
It can be as simple as just showing up and connecting the water within you to the water around you and simply knowing that you cannot live without it.

Butterfly 7.20.15

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.

9f318-mountaintop-robertderalexandrian

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

The Deeper Well

17 Saturday Dec 2016

Inspiration, Meditations, Photography, Poetry, Reflection, Writing

shannon-brook-pool-crb

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

LovingWaters.Life is Born

2016_02_06_crb

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.

12-12lwbanner

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…

2016_12_01_1687_crb

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 Be … Not To Be

29 Tuesday Nov 2016

Tags

Inspiration, Podcasts, Reflection, Writing

2016_09_15_1544_

On the last Sunday of each month I am scheduled to talk with Grandmother Allayah on our show entitled, Elders Speak:Heart to Soul Talks, which is a segment of her OMTimes Radio – Circle of Hearts Show.  However, for the last two months we have not been able to connect due to technical challenges which have arisen at the last moment before airtime.

This year we started off with 2 talks on Choices and we were feeling a great energy about the year and the importance of being able to make choices through better discernment.
Little did we know the amount of changes which would occur, both to ourselves and to the world around us.

So as this show would be the last one of this year we felt a call to revisit and share some of our own choices and how both of us could recognize dramatic changes within ourselves and in how we related to the world around us as result. When the show failed to emerge we calmly accepted the outcome and had a lovely chat with each other on a more personal level sharing deeper changes which we would not feel very comfortable making public yet are seen by others in us without really knowing the backstory.

I made the comment on social media that I would write something here on my blog and the Title would be, To Be … Not To Be.
Interesting how I was guided to omit the “or” which would have been Shakespeare’s words as written in Hamlet. Nor did it ever cross my mind until I sat here and typed it out.

Perhaps it is because there is no “or”, except to a mind which does not trust the position it holds within the human body and creates the drama of opposition.

I shift a bit now and talk about my own observations as I made choices this year. The most important being that of the ability to observe myself making them.
So who or what is this observer of our choices?
Is it a neurosis which needs attention or are each of us finally choosing, “TO BE”, that which we are, beyond life and death.

For some of you who are experiencing this it may feel a bit strange at first but this is a very distinct process taking place within each of us. We are healing or correcting if you prefer, modifying or transmuting,  our genetic predisposition to separation.

As I write this it is much like our show, i never know where it will actually lead but I trust that it will come though my heart and not my head as the True Self allows it to flow.
(Hence the choice of the picture above)

We are evolving as a species which is locally labelled humanity. Because the planet we live on is evolving as well as the universe within which it resides is evolving, so too must we all… Therefore our way of choosing has to evolve as well.

We are actually beginning to see how our mind (that which regulates or not, our thinking processes) through which we discern our existence as did Shakespeare, is only a functioning body part which responds to who… WE Truly Are.
None of which are new concepts. The only difference is that the center of presence “WE” is shifting from our heads to our hearts.

So back to choices… are we actually choosing this? For some the answer is yes.  Those who  are now choosing from their Heart Center are actually just aligning their energy and intentions with becoming whole again.
Unified, not separated between head and heart, with the mind processing the information under the direction of heart

To Be … is a choice of the Heart
Not To be… is not a choice but the outcome of not choosing

i-choose

Is There A Day After “Thanksgiving”?

25 Friday Nov 2016

Inspiration, Reflection, Writing

12307391_1288765181149482_5459518386662236438_o

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
