21. Resilient World

"In the wake of all ending cycles
live the seeds of new beginnings."

Valentine's Day arrives on the wake
of Candlemas, Chinese New Year 
or the Celtic Feast Day for Brigit.

Creative Seeds now incubate within 
the Womb of the Wise Old Crone in 
Females and inner-Female of Men. 
Mystic Crone is now purified, to be
re-born as the Archetypal Virgin, 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Seasons change and Cycles end,
renewing faith in our sacred hearts,
offering hope, for new creations.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Valentine's Day is a key re-set
point for me, heralding change and
positive, lucrative, new beginnings. 
One year in the '80's, on February 14, 
New Horizon's Children's House,
was transformed into a farm-school.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the 90's, on 2/14,  Inner Peace 
Healing, my holistic practice, was 
moved into a new, spacious space.
On Valentine's Day 2011, a Spirit 
Sister and I initiated a Movement 
Medicine Class in her dance studio.

This reunion, was the culmination 
of a cycle that united us in 1976, 
in a shared marriage ceremony.
I can still see us embracing our
handsome, now, x-husbands,
on the threshold of Camelot. 

Choosing solitary creative paths, 
the challenges we've endured, have  sculpted independent Wise Crones.
Joined by other wise, creative women 
with a desire for self-exploration, we  
prepare for another sacred round. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The World is spinning so fast, it 
requires us to balance the energies 
of our inner- Male and Female daily.
Creatively expressing Self to resolve
 this sacred polarity, moment to moment, 
requires much courage and resilience.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The cosmic wheel continues to turn 
as we reach the end of another round
of the Mythic Archetypal Journey and
#21- the card of "Planetary Partners".

Embodying a healthy balance of Male
and Female qualities, we can choose to
dedicate our lives to World Service.

a blessing ceremony was
held for my "Fabric of Life",
Bagua Quilt project.)

20. Resilient Emissary of Truth

" Living a physical life with 
graceful, heightened Awareness,
with grounded Presence, and 
Compassion, while continuing 
to evolve, thru serving others,
is a choice." Jamie Sams

"Living in Now, means bringing 
Wisdom found on all Paths,
into the Body and being fully
present, walking in Beauty 
each moment." Jamie Sams
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Childhood unfolds naturally,
after Birth, requiring us to endure
puberty, adulthood and elderhood. 
The holy timing and specific details
of this evolving process, creates
unique, precious memories.

While Birth remains vague for 
most of us, we recall vivid images
of Childhood, with or without family. 
We are faced with the initiations of 
first Love, first job, first home, pets ,
marriage, kids, sometimes divorce.

Parenthood shifts our Center of Gravity, 
as we focus on our Children's wellbeing, 
observe, and cultivate gifts and talents. 
Intuitive signals alert us to when it's 
time to gather our expanding energy 
back to nurture our Center of Self. 

The Dance of Life requires us to 
embody a resilient Heartbeat, 
while surviving in the empty nest. 
Moving into Elderhood, we become 
acutely aware of the fleeting quality 
of cycles, rhythms, seasons of time. 

Breath and energy become precious 
resources in need of appreciation,
as we value rest, Peace and quiet. 
Listening to timeless wisdom of our
Mother, Nature, we reflect on long 
term effects, before making choices. 

Aligning attention and intention, 
we transform our disappointments 
and fears into a resilient reality. 
Connecting memories with lucid 
golden threads of understanding, 
our true perceptions become clear. 

With Divine Guidance, and belief 
in ourselves, inner-strength and 
joy, is mirrored in outer reality. 
We understand that the greatest 
Teachers: Lead by Following 
and they Teach by Example. 

Jesus came here as a living, 
breathing manifestation of the 
Divine Spirit abiding within us.
Buddha sat, to touch the ground,
gifting us with ancient wisdom of
non-violence and non-permanence. 

Martin Luther reminded us to
unite and follow our Dreams, 
to create Heaven on Earth. 
John Lennon lived and died, 
chanting: "All We Need Is Love" 
and "Give Peace A Chance."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The uncertainty of the length and
breath of Destiny here on Earth, 
 keeps us all aware and humble.
It reminds us to appreciate the
small things, share unconditional
love, and express our Life Story.

My beloved Father's unexpected
passing in 2006, was a wake up call
for me and for friends and family.
We softened judgments, increased
eye contact and grew closer awhile,
much like survivors of 911 attacks.

5 years later, as Mom approaches her
80th birth cycle, a deserving hallmark,
we seem scattered upon Winds of Time.
Hopefully, it will not take another crisis
for us to awaken from our daily trances, 
to appreciate the miracle of our tribe.

As I approach my own 60th Gateway
into Elderhood this Spring, I feel myself 
re-centering in my Mystic Artist Soul.
The roots of my personal truth, extend
deeper into the fertile sacred ground 
of my being an adept Spiritual Human. 

As passionate inspiration expands 
breath, rhythms of action and rest, 
define our direction of movement. 
Responsively living on a Spiritual 
Path we no longer react to life
or care what others think of us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nearing the end of concluding cycles,
we adopt a reflective stance, and 

radiate our Light into the World.

As bold Emissaries of Truth, 

we honor the wisdom of Kronos, 

Father of Time and Mother Gaia. 

We embody the archetype of the 

 Aeon, to balance powerful aspects 

Life within us, which are eternal.

We stand confidently within our

Ancestral Circle, non-attached 
to our past, present or future. 

Embodying Love with Honor, 

we quicken healing processes
in selfless service to Humanity.

" Blessed are the Peacemakers,
for they shall be known as
the Children of God." M5:9 

"Be the change you want to see 
in the world. " James Twyman

19. Resilient Sun Dancer

" I Am a Flaming Arrow of Creative 
Genius igniting the Center of my Soul. "

" Leaping in Faith, over Obstacles,
I trust my Wings, to Open and Fly!"

"The Light of my True Identity Shines
through all my Communications."

"Tempering my Presence with 
consideration for others, 
I respect all Sacred Spaces."

( Soul Questar Workbook / m/s.sage ) 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Sun's resilient, life force,
breathes across the horizon,
creating a mystical Rainbow.

Opening to the moment, I am

calm, present, and inspired, as I 

quiet my chattering Monkey Mind. 

The Sun's Light reveals Shadows,
especially as families gather together
to celebrate seasonal Winter Holidays. 
We are quickly reminded to side-step
those who drain our time and energy,
to embrace those who increase Light.

Courage, patience and inner- strength 
are required, to maintain total presence, 
as conflicting view points and issues arise.
Honest, open, communication is essential,
for us to evolve, as we traverse our path,
in harmony with co-workers and family.

 Collaboration can be a transforming
experience between partners, but it
requires trust in an unfolding process.
Mental, Spiritual and Physical abilities
increase, as the Light of a Collective
Awareness expands, exposing flaws. 

Regeneration is difficult, when we're
being depleted by unconscious others
focused upon judgment and criticism.
It is important to align with Cultural
Creative Souls who resonate with
our level of joy, integrity and skill.

Embodying a spontaneous, playful 
attitude, we can savor explorations
with those who we love and respect.
Adapting to life's rhythms, we find
balance within the eternal dance of
our inner- Masculine and Feminine.

The determination of our inner- 
Creators, increases our energetic
bank accounts, when energy flows.
As we give to others, so we receive,
what goes around comes around,
creating waves of Chaos, or Peace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Unwavering in my intention to
do no harm, I stay focused on
remaining true to my Purpose."

"Grounding myself in the Present
Moment, I regulate all information
I receive, channel and transmit."

"My True identity shines as
the Golden Orb, that I Am."
( Soul Questar Workbook )
