One reason I like Winter is that it's a time of Dreaming, a premise concept from my childhood that brings warm sensations to my heart.  When stories by the fire would take flight that imagry that would teach us kids the protocols of life, and if our elders were good at it… inspire us right to sleep.  Grandpa saw to it, I witnessed magic, and I saw to it, that I paid attention.

Chapter TwoA
Coyote advises us to keep our self-worth and be perfectly fulfilled, with no particular effort.  This truth simply includes all others.  For if we look, we find vitality rooted and grounded in the glorious gift of love which is self-worth.

Chapter Two
I've been asked about spiritual power, and this has kept me going through time.  Think of when you first felt it.  When you first started down your path, on that first day, to find your passion…  Yes, you felt the presence, without fear.  The presence was that of Spirit, but the added sensation of Mother Earth's presence made it a little different.  Puzzled, you have sought further understanding.  You feel the connection, the effects of her physical changes, the mutations in your own body, and tap the Records of Creation around you.  You're beginning to understand that everything, and I do mean everything, feels one sensation.  That's slowing becoming apparent to you, because you're awakening to a conscious existence.  You felt a spiritual calling all those many years ago… and responded.  And now, you're experiencing the Source.

CHAPTER ONE
D: The Way We Have Been Healing
So, we purify, master, and enjoy the gifts that we have to give ourselves and the gifts that we have to share… which are many.
     Perhaps the most astonishing things is our opening.  We’re floating through time until we find we are enough.  And being enough comes with growth and inspiration, and positive movement forward. Our physical energy literally raises our conscious nature.

CHAPTER ONE
D: Snake Shooting Way
In this we explored secondary, powerful SHOULDS: the addiction to drama, giving up the agendas on life that have not been ours to carry.  We have given up what we are supposed to be, in favor of just being.  This has a great deal to do with our response to a 5th World Calling.
     We are from another place… many lifetimes ago, but we are also from here – Earth, and it is high time we accepted this realization as truth.  In the conception of life, you know, energy in motion, we are balance.  We are the Miracles of Cosmic Unity.  Not only that, but we excel at it and we’re beginning to grasp the extent to which this is true.  Voices of respect acknowledge the validity of this moment.

CHAPTER ONE
C: One Who Upholds Unity
…intuition.
     This is the only way to work with, or interpret, this life.  All of us must be considered in the context of a whole life.  In other words, the initial step of claiming identity is as simple as acknowledging we are empathetic, and we feel everything.  By owning this aspect of humanity, we begin the process of integration.  We become more familiar with the language of life, and now that we feel its truth, greater intuitive knowing is activated.
 
We are what we think.
All that we are arises in our thoughts.
With our thoughts we create the world.
–          The Buddha: the Dhammapada

CHAPTER ONE
B: in the beginning
When one closes a chapter in their lives, there arises a new beginning that deserves celebration; namely, a striking rite of passage of birthing – deishehi. Quite a few spiritual philosophies have adverted to this, the moment of transition being referred to as Rebirthing.   For it is true that almost every detail of this experience is paralleled in all forms of mysticism – and not only the experience but even the prayers and rites are in many cases reflections.  How account for this remarkable moment?

CHAPTER ONE
A: VOICE OF EARTH
These things I communicate to you as the energies gather for the next shift in consciousness.  Mother nodes, understanding the necessity of the occasion.  Then ritual of life is a pretty formalized thing.
     Intent is passed around the world, each human breathing on the 4 Winds, in unison with Earth and Spirit.  Finally, vitality returns, and I acting as Guardian, returned to San Diego. (2017)

PRELUDE
DAGOTEDAGOTEDAGOTEDAGOTEDAGOTEDAGOTE
It seemed like days life ran helter skelter, and I knew it could not be, because life was still a dynamic of Earth, and it was exhausting.  My body ached, and there was pounding in my head.  I knew the power was preparing to surge forward.  Earth was nearly there.
     My mind would become confused, and I imaged at times that death must be near.  I crossed into a world of stampeding time, in which I must forever spin.  Then the echo would bring me back to the dual reality.
