This morning I joined my friend Chris for a little equinox ceremony on the beach...I wrote this, and thought I would share with you...
Dear Beloveds
Today the balance of light and dark is equal
We cross the threshold of Spring as our part of this sacred earth tips toward the Sun…
From the cold dark and quiet introspection of winter into the warming, opening and awakening of spring.
As the snows melt, the cold softens, deep roots awaken, sap rises, seeds begin to stir, tender buds swell, the rivers flow with winter’s release, the birds sing joyfully in the trees, and all the animal kingdom joins in rituals of courtship & mating, our hearts sense an opportunity also.
This is the season of awakening.
This is a natural time to gracefully honor what has protected us during long months of inward hibernation, but now we can start to release with gratitude.
This is the time to look deep in our hearts and listen…
Listen to the quiet voice, make room for the soft song of truth, the tender seed of desire, the sweet unfurling of our sacred longing reaching toward the light
As we step again into the garden of life to plant this next season's hopes and dreams, let’s take a moment to sit with the darkest moments in the season we have crossed & sanctify the rich compost of our living.
Let us be Love Warriors, who expand our hearts & pray for courage to hold deep compassionate witness to the grief, unconscious violence, inequity, broken hearts, devastating losses of the world, right now, in this moment
Let us use this grief to deepen our conviction & commitment living always from a core of Highest Love, as we practice letting go of our own limitations, unkindness, habits that are not aligned with the beauty we are capable of.
We offer our tenderness & grief as well as our joy and gratitude so that we may be cleansed and purified with the Truth.
Today we take time to breath, to slow down, to go within, to nurture, to cleanse, to energize with meditation, nourishing feminine practices, and sacred ritual.
We are here to celebrate ourselves and our journey and we are here to remember, simply - that we are not alone. Healing, growth, & renewal is assured.
it is the way of nature
expansion & contraction in all things
great & small
Lets remember we stand in the circle of life, connected to all beings, loved ones, friends and companions and all elements of nature & cosmos
let this awareness of our intrinsic relationship to the One help us step into this new time of growth and possibility.
So be brave!
Let’s be aware of our own divine right to live & love fully.
So we can prepare the soil for our own inner flowering.
As the Navajo Blessingway Prayer says
With beauty may I walk.
With beauty before me may I walk.
With beauty behind me may I walk.
With beauty above me may I walk.
With beauty below me may I walk.
With beauty all around me may I walk.
It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.
