  • Return of the Ancestors, Wisdom Gathering

    Return of the Ancestors, Wisdom Gathering, Sedona, AZ April 18th – 28, 2009

    An important gathering is about to occur. I thought you might find it of interest. ‘Return of the Ancestors’ is happening April in Northern Arizona. Here is  information about the gathering:

    500 years ago the Mayan Ancestors wrote out on stone prophesies for the upcoming years creating the Mayan Calendar.  With only four years left of the Mayan Calendar, many people fear the end of the world, but it is not predicting the end of the world in 2012, but the start of a new era.  To usher in this new era The Institute for Cultural Awareness is holding a sacred pilgrimage in Northern Arizona beginning Earth Day Weekend, April 18th – 28, 2009. 

    Indigenous Elders and Future Wisdom Keepers are coming from every corner of the world to share their wisdom and prophesies.  Will help us heal and follow in their ancestors footsteps as prophesied, creating new guide stone tablets of prophesy for the upcoming 500 years…the world has awaited a renewed life’s plan.

    This gathering is fulfilling a great Mayan prophecy, When the Eagle once again flies with the Condor, a lasting peace will reign in the Americas and will spread throughout the world to unite humanity.

  • Regresa a mi – Il Divo

    ‘Regresa a mi’ sung by Il Divo

    A beautiful, sad, moving love song, passionately sung by Il Divo.  Longing for love lost. The line, ‘My life turns off without you by my side’ touches me. We often merge our lives so completely with another that when other is gone we turn off or shut down. Sometimes it takes years to come alive again… to become some semblance of what we were before the relationship… forever changed, altered. We may review… as a result grow and become more through love. Life is meant to be poignant… Love is always a Divine gift.

    A dear friend once said to me, ‘I would rather be without love than to accept something ordinary.’  I believe, Love is never ordinary when it comes, treasure it in all its’ forms.  No one… nothing is ordinary, nor is anyone or anything special. Everything is sacred and Divine… everyone Perfect as they are… nothing better, nor worse.. just is. Accept what is given and be filled with joy… a choice. The dance of life and love is full of experiences and choices… a smorgasbord of sensations and feelings. Flow with life… appreciate, accept what is and be grateful for breath. We are given what we need in every moment… relationships, family, friends or sacred time to ourselves… discerning what enhances. Searching leads to more searching, an endless quest… a good game like every undertaking. Fun. Play well. What seems mystical to one is simply life unfolding for another. Everything is a blessing from God… life, love, body, home, family, friends, animals, food, nature, breath… everything! Thank you, thank you, thank you for Love, beloved Creator!

    Regresa a mi (Return to me) lyrics (Spanish) in English (translated by elmarto-ga):

    Don’t leave me like this
    Speaking only of you
    Come and give the smile that went away back to me
    One more time to touch your skin and deep to sigh
    Let’s recover what has been lost
    Return to me

    Love me once again
    Erase the grief I experienced when you left
    when you parted from me
    Tell me yes
    I don’t want to cry
    Return to me

    I miss the love that went away
    I miss the happiness as well
    I want you to come to me and love me again
    I can’t go on if you’re not here; you have to arrive
    My life turns off without you by my side
    Return to me, Return to me

  • Three Little Birds – Connie Talbot

    ‘Three Little Birds’ sung by Connie Talbot

    Sweet, fun and happy, makes me smile. I love the lines, ‘Don’t worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright.’ How true!  Worry stems from thinking about past/future, usually something which has not yet manifest. Worry is fear-based (FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real or Future Expectations Appearing Real). It’s not yet become reality, so is assumed or expected. With our powerful thoughts backed with by feelings we make what we dwell on real. So remembering, ‘Don’t worry cause everything’s gonna be alright’ helps us take a deep breath, step back from ‘whatever’ and know we are ok. Right now we are ok! Thanks for the happy reminder. I just found Connie today on youtube, what talent!

    cause every little thing gonna be all right!

    Rise up this mornin,
    Smiled with the risin sun,
    Three little birds
    Pitch by my doorstep
    Singin sweet songs

  • Glorious Indicators… we move!

    comet lulin by John-Nassr 2-24-09

    Glorious Indicators… we move!

    Beautiful green comet Lulin is currently located in the night sky between Saturn and Regulus and is moving backwards (never observed in a comet before). Photo taken by astrophotographer John Nassr in the Philippines.

    Astrologically… Comets are usually seen as signs of things to come… predictors. On February 23, 2009 Lulin was at its’ closest position to earth, on the 24th it made it’s first naked eye appearance during New Moon (time for creation) in Pisces (seeing beyond material to other realms). Significance: Lulin is an awakener… moving backward suggests turning within. The timing suggests motivation to awaken, seeking answers beyond tactile senses. Inner creation, beyond material to other realms. As well on the 24th Lulin conjoins Saturn (time and material reality) which is in opposition to Uranus (technological innovation, energy and radical change). Significance: Lulin’s alignment suggests an awakening…. reexamining our beliefs about time and material reality and urging radical change. The green color of Lulin suggests healing in areas it impacts. Lulin helps us to collectively recognize our material and energetic impact on all that is… then heal, lessen or eliminate that impact. ‘The current green movement?’ As well it urges us to look at our beliefs and stretch beyond. Lulin was discovered because of a collaboration between Taiwanese and Chinese astronomers. So it carries the energy of working together. Perhaps it offers a solution to current world crises – heal our differences, turn within for answers and collaborate.

  • Furniture – Amy Studt

    ‘Furniture’ sung by Amy Studt, music video

    Haunting, fragile and intense… touches me to the bone! Makes me wonder… why we cause harm to each other, the earth and all life? Why don’t we love each other or ourselves? Will we be able to collectively move beyond these destructive patterns? I know we can! I really like the lines, ‘behind the skin, my divinity, behind the skin, my only sanctuary.’ The skin, the bone… a vehicle… a temple. Behind the skin… Soul… our Divinity, our sanctuary… who ‘we truly are’. We move toward the ultimate… conscious merging of skin and Soul… self actualization… enlightenment or Divine Union. Works like this song help us see, understand, know… remember right action… awake our compassionate nature.  Thanks Amy for creating a wonderful song and for the reminder.

    ‘Furniture’ lyrics:

    I am only flesh and bones, Splintered glass and tattered clothes,
    behind the skin, my fragility, behind the skin, a skeletal impracticality,
    I am only pieces of you, held together with paper glue,
    behind the skin, my divinity, behind the skin, my only sanctuary.
    You can lean on me, have a drink on me, leave your mark all over me, paint the outside ’till it smiles, you can eat off me, rest your head on me, press yourself on top of me, kick the back until its quiet.
    All in all I’m just furniture, Just another piece taking you one step further from the perfect living room set,
    All in all I’m just furniture, In these 4 walls that hold me, keep me safe under sound and bare within its grip.
    My wooden heart it sings no more, This dress I wear becomes the floor, behind the skin, a living, breathing thing, behind the skin, a place you’ve never been.
    You can lean on me, have a drink on me, leave your mark all over me, paint the outside ’till it smiles, you can eat off me, rest your head on me, press yourself on top of me, kick the back until its quiet.
    All in all I’m just furniture, Just another piece taking you one step further from the perfect living room set,
    All in all I’m just furniture, In these 4 walls that hold me, keep me safe under sound and bare within its grip.
    I am only flesh and bones, Splintered glass and tattered clothes
