Remembering…
When I sat down at the keyboard this week, the blank page seemed overwhelming. I had the photo taken years ago when I was chasing rainbows with my camera and the white buffalo galloped up out of the billowing clouds, but…
What did I need to say, want to say, have to say after these past two weeks of gathering in, of letting go, and of reconnecting and disconnecting. Nothing came.
I picked up a copy of Lynn’s book Walk in Spirit for inspiration and solace, to center me so I could write to you and found an old sticky note poking out the top. When I opened to the page it marked and unwrinkled the sticky to read the note, it said “Friday”. I had my answer… here is the message from Lynn.
Entering the silence
Great Spirit, let the guardians
Of our dreams
Stand as Sentinels around our beings
As we move into the silence,
As we move into that place of stillness
And quietude were Spirit dwells.
Listen to the winds
As they come out of the four directions.
Name the winds that are your allies.
Listen to the birds and the language of nature
And the breath of summer.
You are each reflections of the Great Spirit.
The Great Spirit blesses you and comes
When you are most silent.
Let your silence be like a prayer in the night,
Soft and quiet, full of integrity.
Let your bliss move up
Through your body from mother earth
Up into your heart, opening your heart chakra,
Making you vulnerable to something new and radiant
That wishes to become a part of you.
The first lesson of power is that we are alone.
The last lesson of power is that we are all one.
Great spirit, there is an enormous chasm
Between those two states.
Most of us spend lifetimes bridging that gap.
Silence of the mind, silence within the spirit,
Is a great bridge for that movement
Between body and spirit and aloneness,
And loneliness and aloneness.
Great spirit, let us feel your hand on our backs.
May the wind caress us as the breath of your spirit
As we move into the sacred silence,
So that we can hear your words.
Thank you, Mother Earth.
Thank you, Great Spirit.
Thank you, my ancestors,
The four legged’s and the winged ones,
And all the sacred beings that surround me.
Thank you for being with us now. Ho!
