1. Magician / Magical Sage

On the dawn of Spring Equinox, the 
day of my birth, I bask in the glow of 
Father Sunlight, now rising in my 
review mirror, as I drive to work.
A lingering Night Owl, is circling.  
 It's the first sunrise, I've seen in awhile. 

The Brilliance of this gift, inspires me 
to pull off highway to take photo, but 
my camera's batteries are depleted, 
as are mine, after three days of 
dedicated substitute teaching.

Re-energized by the amazing gift 
of illumination from this glowing orb, 
my inner- Magician's imagination, 
begins to stir the cauldron of the
unknown, aware of synchronicity.

Pennies, hummingbirds, paper clips 
and Lady Bugs appear in random places.
Cats, rabbits, ducks, herons speak to me.
Numbers catch my attention, re-cycling:    
 8, 1:11, 11:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 12:12.
-------------------------------------------------
Life dances with harmonic vitality.
Mother Nature weaves a symphony 
of dissonant and harmonic sounds.
Doves coo, dogs bark, woodpeckers 
drill, and fire engine sirens blare. 

Stopping at the river, I observe the flow 
of the River Goddess. Laughter and train 
whistles, panting joggers, church bells
and silence seem to be orchestrated
into a vibrant harmonic chorus of life.
-----------------------------------------
Exercising my body, I review the somatic 
wisdom that lives in my muscular memory. 

"The true test of mastery is how well we 
walk our talk and apply our knowledge."

Turning fifty-nine tomorrow, I realize 
the more I know, the less I know. 

Admitting this awareness, opens doors
to more profound levels of understanding.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to embody the courage needed 
to face our Shadow and free it's Light, 
we must first, quiet the chatter of our 
inner- Child / Fool's monkey mind. 

Listening to and learning from the 
wisdom of our inner- Magician / Sage,
we learn to observe, understand and 
utilize the natural elements, which are 
the essential building blocks of Life:
Water / Wood / Fire / Earth /
and Air-Metal-Crystal. 

Observing and honoring the elements 
and their holy counterparts, we learn 
to resolve our inner-duality, resulting 
in the metaphorical Sacred Marriage. 

Entraining with the unfolding seasonal 
cycles of Mother Earth and Father Sun, 
we learn when to surrender / rest and 
when to initiate protective, action. 

The blessings within the Sun's rising, 
illuminates the Darkness, to seed all
Humanity with messages of awakening. 

Thinking we are in the "Driver's Seat", 
is an illusion that is transformed with the 
understanding of the teachings of those
Light Workers who have come before us. 

I am willing to listen to and respond 
to my Soul's intuitive inner-Guidance.

Divinity, blends compassion and humility.
Practicing presence within each moment, 
we can learn to embody love's Resilience. 

Transforming what we Fear with Love, 
we help one another walk a peaceful, 
truly creative, meaningful, fulfilling, 
joyful, abundant Middle Path. 

Co-creating Heaven on Earth, 
we re-birth each other into 
a Dawning New Age.
