A Reflective Meditation Inspired by a Spontaneous Journey to Thee Beloved Three Sisters Volcanoes and the High Desert Grasslands that Embrace Them in the Petroglyph National Monument, West of Albuquerque, New Mexico

“…wherever your journey takes you,
there are new gods waiting there,
with divine patience ~ and laughter.”

Timelessness ripples across the ancient
seas of these high desert plains...
calls to me with its chorus of sky and cloudness…
earth, grasslands, Sandia Mountain~ness…
and the sisterhood of three
ancient volcanoes...
illuminative, poignant,
imaginative...
its expansiveness opens me
to this one tree road~ness,
to this expectant heart,
raindrops witnessing
elemental
grace…
always grace, more grace to say, to pray,
to sing as a gypsy traveler on her way
to the Center of the World...
Sister Sirens Three, anciently wise
gift their resonant
voices...
beckon me to venture
to journey into their humming quietude
to breathe, listen, ponder,
transcend...
I remember. I remember
their transformative fire,
their unbridled
as they whisper, "Embrace your past,
bless it, cherish it, let it go…"
"Call your future self up
as she births from
inside this
“You can fly even as you walk earthbound...
light as white butterfly wings,
gentle rain clouds
floating."
"Know that you are part of this
sacred land made of
stardust."
Their precious basalt words ripple up
through the soles of my feet ~
I join Wind as he sings his
chilly revelatory
refrains…
listening inversely to his cold yet comforting
laughter, standing atop this volcano sister
at the Center of the World,
and I, too,
laugh...
letting bliss ripple through
every breath, footstep,
gesture, thought,
I treasure these gifts of loving-kindness,
carry them within me ~ give them away
like a daily potlatch ceremony,
strew them all about
like joyful
abundant in this life that we too often forget is
but a dream ~ this magic show that is
the sky we dance in, this earth
we are blessed to
walk upon...
this stardust that lights our way
as we add
our own inner brightness to this
precious radiant
wonderland!
into more vibrant
illuminating
of being the loving, happy souls
we are born
to be!
I have learned this and offer it up to you.
~ Life itself is the proper ceremony!~
my dream truck... just need to paint a
flying heart on the tailgate! GRiN!
With a knowing WiNK, and a blessed Namasté I travel
onward and upward knowing that Grace rains down
in abundance day and night, rain or shine!
As we let go and open our bodies, minds,
hearts and souls, Grace's everyday
sweetness and miracles
show up in ordinary
extraordinary
ways...
with sepia tone alteration
Beauty in all things and blessings dear hearts...
blisses & kisses in abundance as we
ripple more beauty, more laughter,
love, always more love from
the Center of Our Beings,
the Center of this
Precious
World!
