Altar To My Ladies – Arrangement/Photograph by Toni Roberts
The futility of trying to teach my language to those just learning to speak…
I will instead wait in patience for the day that my ears ring with familiar words…
Uttered by strangers…
Then…I shall know that I have reached the “Promised Land…”
Where dwelleth my Soul Kin…
My Family…which art on Earth…
Ase.

this
blessing
of a

is the only thing that pulls me through
these
“dark days of the soul..”
I thank
You

and
for the
peace of mind
and
stillness of heart

MAJESTY
of
YOUR CREATON
imparts…

the
inner
passageway
of all
man-created
debris…
allowing
the
winds
of
heaven
to
blow
through
this
body-mind-soul…
carrying
peace…love…wisdom…healing
and
understanding
in
its
wake…

Rainy Day Altar – Photo by Toni Roberts
an even more delicious day
than the sunshine and calm blue skies of yesterday?
Indoors On A Rainy Day – Photo by Toni Roberts
this
glorious
today
with
noisy splatters of raindrops
and
boisterous winds
intruding upon the
SILENCE
of my
SACRED SPACE…
blow!
Oya
clear away the debris that clogs the mind and soul
whip up the waters!
cleanse this vessel!
ready it for the
Holy Work
for which the Soul has come…
Full Moon; Stock Photo
Gemini Moon…
in the fullness of
Your Light
the hidden self
is revealed…
and as the dark self wanes before
Your Brilliance…
the
Goddess Self
expands…
illuminating the world
with the
Healing Light
of
Your Love…

It occurs to me that
Death
As a human condition
Is self-determined…
That we each reach a period in Time
Some sooner than others…
When we cease to dream…
Cease to re-imagine ourselves more wondrous…
We cease to believe…
For whatever reasons…
That we can manifest our deepest dreams and desires
In this lifetime…
We cease to imagine ourselves greater
We cease creating and re-creating
Self and Life
Indeed, we surrender the belief in our ability to
So do
Via the agency of human imagination…
And thus
On some deep level of being
We surrender this
Life
Body
Mind
And gradually
Organ by organ…
In a process we name disease…
The body breaks down as the
Soul
Prepares to take flight
To another Time of Being
To another Here-Now
Where it continues its journey of
Evolution
to
Eternal
Lightness of
Being…
Join me. Come out as a Daughter of Gaia!

They took my beloved Ayanna off of life support today. The body is slowly shutting down. I can no longer say her body because I sense her soul has already returned to the Meeting Place: that SpaceTime wherein we make our plans for the next excursion to flesh bodies
I weep–not for my beloved–for she is free
I weep for myself
For the heavy ache of her absence
I weep for the loss of that bubbly personality…
And the shared jokes that only she and I got
I am already missing the Emails…
And the telephone conversations
In which we dared to reveal to one another
Parts of ourselves ordinarily kept hidden
I miss the easy going intimacy we shared…
And the trust
You hold a piece of my heart baby-girl…
And I will always treasure the part of you
That you left behind…as memories
I will always treasure the uniqueness of the daughter-from-another-mother relationship we shared in this go-round as spirits-in-flesh. And although I so look forward to our reunion on the Other Side, I am in no hurry to leave this crazy Third-Dimension that we both so thoroughly enjoy. I will continue drumming my ass off every Saturday–hoping the reverberations reach all the way to Wherever you are. I will walk my mile a day–take my supplements and eat organic–in the care of this holy temple. I will continue plunging fully into the exquisite joy of living. I will squeeze every drop of Love that I can–into each day–just as you did–beloved baby-girl–
Niece…daughter of my heart…
I bid you adieu, sweet one…A Dios…See ya’…
Today is a number seven day…
a day of surrender to the Source of your being.
This is a very propitious time…
with much going on in the lives of those connected to you…
You must remain anchored in Spirit…
Allow your God to be you…
to guide your every thought…every action…
every step you take and
word you speak.
Remember–your only job is to
keep on loving and to use your human will to
maintain conscious connection to
The Great Mystery…
Let It do the Work
in…as…and through you…
from the inside out…
