Raining in our spiritual disciplines

"Then one of the judges of the city stood forth and said, Speak to us of Crime and Punishment. And HE answered saying: It is when your spirit goes wandering upon the wind, That you alone and unguarded, commit a wrong unto others and therefore unto yourself. And for that wrong committed must you knock and wait a while unheeded at the gate of the blessed." The Prophet by Kahil Gibran

Eternally we are expanded in the wisdom shared in this tiny book authored by the man from Lebanon. We have come to the understanding in recent days that as the next generations by and large depart the language, customs, traditions and respect of their ancestors, the elders of the day move into the firece urgency of now, while maintaining a sense of dignity and decorum. Once we were comforted by a truth revealed through the statement....Compassion is the radical understanding of the lack of understanding. When there is lack, ignorance and fear, surely we are challenged to move out of the box of our self imposed restrictions or limitations and into the freedom and ease of our Divine selves having the human experience."
Raising the standard by which we Live, move and have our being is a birthright! Violence as a concept is outdated, that which we do to another, we do unto ourselves. As we bear witness to the rise and fall of many things, our tools, techniques, granny wit and technology of spiritual disciplines are by and large of the greatest assistance for navigating our way through. We are constantly updating our definition of definite purpose or in some cases we behold with great clarity the road of destiny that we are traveling.
Mindful of the ancestral safety net in quiet meditation and prayer, we are reassured of the divinity and divine purpose in all relationships, partnerships, plans and outcomes. As we move forward into the Wilderness of tribes in celebration of the Earth's deep connections to her children we are thankful to carry the hopes, dreams and aspirations of all the Kindred...present in other places, attentive to other missions.

"What shall I say of these save that they too stand in the Sunlight, but with their backs to the Sun? They see only their shadows, and their shadows are their laws. And what is the Sun to them but a caster of shadows? And what is it to acknowledge the laws but to stoop down and trace their shadows upon the earth?
But you who walk facing the Sun, what images drawn on the earth can hold you?
You who travel with the wind, what weather-vane shall direct your course?"

We are thankful of the prayers and support toward the global axe conference in Brazil...our workshops were NOT selected in the final round and we are still Thankful to the core of destiny chosen this Lifetime, lessons and revelations abound!

Stop to smell the roses!
