This Truth

As humans, we have fears

Fears of drowning

Fears of choking

Fear of being left

All alone and 

Suffocating

To death

We fear pain

We fear loss

We fear going crazy

We fear so much 

We are human and

These fears are human

Believing these fears 

To be the Truth

Holding onto them and

Letting them define us

Cause great suffering

Which leads to constricting

Ourselves, our bodies,

Hearts and minds

Tightening up more and more

We build walls around

All parts of us

Only letting out the parts

Who promise to behave

And even then, they make

Mistakes at times

So we bring them back inside

Behind our prison walls

We cannot feel 

We are numb

We can't feel pain

We can't feel joy either

Our walls become an 

Impenetrable hard, thick crust

So that we don’t even know

How to access what has been

Covered up for so long

We don't even know

What is even behind or

Inside our fortress

Can’t punch holes in it

Can’t assault it without

Attacking our whole selves

Wounding the healthy parts

Too

All of the sudden something happens

We see or hear or feel something 

New and different

Which calls to us

Which attracts us

Which begs us to listen and to see

Clearly what the Truth really is

We get busy trying to chisel out 

A tiny window through our

Ancient layers of wall

And finally see some light

Just a tiny bit

Suddenly

A pleasant aroma flows in

A calm breeze moves toward us

Introducing us to

What is to come next

Which is

So clearly experienced

For the first time

It seems awfully silly 
We thought that this was a

Secret, reserved only for

The Most Holy

Now with clear eyes open

We cannot imagine how

We didn’t see, hear or feel 

This before

And once experienced

We don't go back

Inside our prison walls

This Truth: We are beloved

We are so loved

And that doesn't change

We have never known

This powerful consistent

Promise of being held 

As humans

With no pain

No fears

For the rest of our human lives

And for eternity

The only trick to receiving

This news is that we 

Must agree to

Share it with everyone

So that they can join us

Together 

In Love

In a brand new and different

Time and space 

This journey is not

For the faint of heart

But what else is there

For us

Besides this?

This Truth is full of the

Immortal energies that

Have always been here

Will always be here

For all of us to share

Come see!

Dangling Divine Bait

We are being offered

Prompted, inspired

Requested, seduced

Asked to receive

Divine inspiration

What bait is dangling

In front of our eyes and bodies

All around us

We feel its vibrations and sensations

Almost like passion, urges, longings

We salivate, wanting to taste

The Divine

(We assume that is the Dangler)

We see a green snake hanging in a tree

Curling toward us

Beckoning us

What does it smell like

Look like, how does it sound

This divine nectar of the 

Gods and Goddesses?

These frequencies emanate 

Cosmically, in all spaces and times

Sucking us in, pulling us beside

Urging us to crawl toward

This sacredly aligned bait

Persuading us to allow

Total surrender

Sanctified energies offer to

Sever our egos

Reminding us to live

In our bodies and not just

In our minds

As we become

One with, absorbed by the

Source of all Being

A brilliant and shining Light

Perhaps just a nudge here and there

A subtle smell of delight and flowers

A rainfall and beautiful breezes 

Gently move us along toward that 

Spot of Source where we
Merge into Being and then

Send out our tendrils to 

Offer others to climb aboard

If they so choose

This Divine bait promises

To love, to have and to hold

From this day forward

For better, for worse

In sickness and in health

Eternal nurturance

Comfort, wisdom, and solace

I will now take a bite of

This celestial bait and hold on for

Dear Life forever and ever

Please join me in this

Immortal nourishment 

For our souls

The Eclipse 2024-04-08, 2 PM CST

The mockingbird sings loudly
Almost erratically
Then stops abruptly

My dog wanders
Around and around
Wondering
Waiting

Worrying
Whining
Weaving experiences
Into truths
Then, resting
Dreaming

The koi fish seem calm
Swimming with understanding
Pausing and feeling
Safe
While the darkness settles in

Other birds reach out
To each other in song
Chanting throughout these
Two hours of strange change

The grays continue as the
Clouds soothe our souls
The earth pauses for a moment
While meeting the moon

We all breathe while
A grand hush of connection
Happens between all beings and
The cosmos, living together in 
Oneness and
Differentness

Not fully silent
Not terribly loud
Cars continue to drive
Airplanes fly by
Lawnmowers mow
An ambulance screams
I continue to write
People answer phones while
Working and 
Wish there could be
Clear signs
Solid cues
About the New Earth and
The Ascension process

The Sun peeks through
The light gradually returns
For Now

Umbilical Cords

How many umbilical cords do I have

And what are they good for?

I had one physical one that latched me to my mother

And maybe to a thread that streamed between her

And ancestors, galactic beings, her god

But, when I was born that physical cord was sliced

Shocking and shaking me to my core

At least she held me closely for awhile

This umbilical cord gave me life

I had another physical umbilical cord

One that attached me to the child inside me

Along with a thread between me

And the ancestors, galactic beings, and goddesses

Until the birth and the startling separation began

Shocking and shaking me to my core

A huge loss, much like my first separation as a baby

This time though, my job was to give birth to human life

And, I could still stay attached closely, at least for awhile

This umbilical cord gave my child life

And me, new life

Emotionally and energetically

I have had lots of "umbilical" cords

Floating between me and other beings

But after the first few emotional cords 

Got ripped away from me or lacerated by me

In unpleasant, disastrous fashions

I pulled back in some of these cords and 

Kept them inside in cold storage

Protecting myself as best I could

Until I felt the urge to pull out one or two and 

Reconnect with the world, people, and beasts

Testing the waters every now and then

Sometimes letting more cords flow out

Sometimes pulling them back in

Sometimes they'd snap off just because

An expert tells me

I need to cut my energetic umbilical cord

With my mother

Is that true? 

I wonder why?

If I lop off that energetic umbilical cord

That human lifetime-lasting one

Then who am I?

How do I swing through life

Without a tether to hold me safely to a sturdy anchor

Rusted though that mooring may be?

Oh yes, I get it, an anchor can also be restraining

Restrictive, providing a too-tight cage for me so that

My wings are clipped, although

My wings sometimes feel very full and free, but

I don’t fly much, not really

I am used to this old anchor with my mother

Since I have been attached to it (and her) 

ALL OF MY LIFE and

It feels so familiar, why mess with it?

If it ain’t broke, why try to fix it?

Oh, suffering, yes, that can be a problem

Frustration due to limitations and rules I put on myself

Because of my still being attached to my mother

Or to my family, or to society's beliefs, my harbors

I get that

I hear from inside me:

"Be sure to knot the cord 

Before biting through it!"

So what about the unknown?

How about floating through the rest of my life

Untethered, except to the cosmos

To the ocean and Mother Earth

The gods and goddesses

To spirits, sprites and fairies

To ancestors and everything on

And around this earth?

Do I chop off a cord and hook it up to 

Some other various sized anchors

Live in the midst of a web of harbors

Beings, entities, stars, moons

Waters, fires, soil, minerals, gases, and even air?

Will that keep me stuck or free me, or

Will a spider come eat me?

Do Spirit guides and divine energies connect 

With my human body and 

Hold me close for not just awhile

But for forever, eternally?

With the Divine Mystery's assistance

Can I pull together all of my

Listless and loosely hanging

Umbilical cords back into the portal of my body, into my naval

And let them grow inside me, healing, loving and

Securing me, sturdy that I have become

Experiencing joy, pain, love, and one day death

When I finally detach from this physical human body?

Then, all my umbilical cords will wrap around my soul 

Dissolve, disappear, or evaporate

As I fly off to a wondrous and no longer mysterious place

From which we all came

Returning to the delight, the paradise, the space

And place where all beings are joined together 

Energies flowing all around between us

Blending, merging, wandering through 

And becoming energies of Love and Spirit 

No longer separated

Or, maybe we have actually been 

Love and Spirit all along 

During our human lives

So no need to become them
Already are them

No longer needing to tether

Because we are all One

A union, communion of souls

Gathering together, and as One

Holding lightly and gently onto

Other human umbilical cords

To those who still live on Earth in bodies 

While they hope to attach to something

That holds them closely and safely

For awhile, as well as liberating them

To live fully, fly high 

And then, one day join us

When and where we are all 

So very free
