Mayan Dream Musings

December 21 was my birthday. I have always loved the fact that my birthday is on the winter solstice. Much of my journey has been about bringing light into darkness….so how appropriate this birth date. I was five weeks premature, with my birth being precipitated by a fall by my mother, so my Soul really wanted me to be born on the solstice. WOW!

I expected a large rush of energy on my 60th birthday. That really didn’t happen. However, this 61st birthday was accompanied by lots of energy moving into my body, hot and cold and the various physical manifestations of major change. Totally unexpected!!!

The unexpected…..all of December things that I was given to do at the request of my Soul often had totally unexpected results. My mind thought I was doing things for reasons it understood. Actually, I was doing things for reasons that were totally unknown to my mind. Yikes! Quite an adventure this month of December.

Today Walter and I are leaving for a winter resort for a few days. We are traveling by car as the weather gets bad. We expect to have a fabulous time.
What kind of unexpected beautiful things will happen?? We’ll see.

Love to you all and continued emergence of light in your lives.

May this new year 2008 bring all of you….

…..continued light dissolving darkness,
…love….creativity that fulfills your greatest dreams
….friendship
….joy
….kindness.

A BEAUTIFUL GRACE. This is a Monday morning musing on grace in the midst of transformation.

Cancer is not beautiful…but those who carry this transformative illness with grace and courage…they are beautiful and filled with grace.

Those who help them are beautiful and filled with grace.

A house fire that destroys just before Christmas is not beautiful….but its power to bring a new life into a home is beautiful….and the grace and courage of the homeowners who find the inner strength to accept the new…this is beautiful.

Those who live their life purpose in the midst of not knowing what is happening or why….they are beautiful and their journey is graced in love.

The trees outside my studio are covered in ice and everything has this particular beauty. However, what about those who are REALLY cold because they can’t afford heat, or are homeless…..the ice and the cold are not beautiful to them in the same way. But they are beautiful in their journey and they are graced. Those who help them are beautiful and graced.

Happy Monday and love to all. Don’t forget to download your Earth Essence music.

I am nearing the end of this year’s cycle and already feeling the weaving of next year. Outside it is absolutely gorgeous. We had about four inches of snow overnight and it is still snowing. Everything is white and soft and clean and still. Later we are supposed to have winds but they are not blowing yet.

Today I am recording more Earth Essence music and one piece will be about this snow.

Earth knows change and regeneration. She gave us the beauty of summer greens and vibrant colors in flowers, sky, animals….then she began the movement of Autumn with brilliant reds, oranges, yellows….all turning to the basic branches of trees and the falling of leaves. Flowers and animals leave us or hibernate..with of course the exception of cardinals, blue jays and other birds of winter. For a few weeks we experienced the subtle browns and grays with rains and cooling temperatures…the occasional thunderstorm, sleet, maybe even tornados….then…..awesome snowfall and the gift of beauty in a new form.

The Maya understood this constant change. The calendar that I chant every day in my morning meditation extends through thousands of years with no day the same as any other day. Today is “chalahum baktun, bolonlahun katun, chanlahun tun, holahun winal, holahun k’in, ho, men, ux mak bolon.” and I am part of this day’s energy. Why should I expect old habits, old perceptions, old ways of doing things to work in such a new day?

Several weeks ago I mentioned that I was considering changing the name of my business. The final decision….same name….different energy!

This last weekend was very cool. My 17 month old grandchild visited and reminded me again of wonder, and curiosity, and laughter, and unending vitality. My nine year old granddaughter visited also and brought love and a blooming maturity and new ways of looking at things and lots of energy. Of course these grandchildren drew my adult children back to our home…and for a while the house was bustling with six additional people. I love it…love it….love it!

So….next year….a year of much change and wonder and excitement and fun and creativity. Stay tuned!!
