When Death touches someone, when a dear one love dies, the left ones open, their heart in front of them, not only inside of them: we can better see them, and they can better see us, transparence: one of the gifts of Death. Spring equinox 2010 *common part* *personal part* Have a wonderful prayer time, and Spring time. A crise A crise is a chance to clean up. * Winter morning. .....there is a Spider on my pillow...hallo, Life! * ??????? Do you want to make WAR or PEACE with this Reality? * I am I am, in this moment of Stillness, with you Mother, with you Spirit * Winter solstice Clear Air and cold, the blessing of Crystal Snow on the Land....Darkness on its yearly peak, Death of the old Sun, Rebirth of the new Sun of Faith and Hope, of the new Light on our Lives. Climate Top meeting going on, demonstrations, Justice and Balance for the People and the Planet still far away...moments to observe, moments to reflect on our duties, our properties, the use we do of them, and the gift of our Lives, our old and new Dreams, our behaviour to ourselves and the others, our challenges, our strenghts and beauties... After the time of Introspection, let us honour and allow this moment of Crystal Power to touch us, let us bless all what we can and purify our bodies in the way we know, our emotions by forgiveness, our thoughts by silence, and honour the Spirit in all its manifestations.... The revision of our Dreams is through and
the Sun is being reborn...let us be enlightned and purified
from our renewed Trust...the Change is created inside
ourselves, and we have established the Vision of our new Life.
* Autumn equinox In the shadow forest, lied the book of Stone: one rock, cut in the very middle, and totally open: the old Deer looked from behind, with his quiet gentle and powerful presence. I received messages, but what mattered was contemplating: and I had forgotten who I was, what I was looking for, and why....everything felt so simple, obvious, clear: the only thing I could do was honouring the moment and the surroundings, and praying for whatever passed through my almost empty mind. Time went through and I went on, the Vision Voice showed the Priests of old dancing on the vaste flat field between the burial hills, and on them too. Everything was open and quiet, the Deers were singing further away...forgivness and accept and I was welcome, whoever I was, in all this, and I was ready for anything to come.
* Live Live as it was your last day today, or live as if you would live forever. * everywhere..the very small seeds...at first glance they look so fragile.. when you touch them they are so strong, so full of life power...whole trees brothers begin like that...another lesson in "one can never judge from appearance", and "size is not the most important thing" ;) * Shine the Light on Your Power, your Shadows, your Darkness: (for further info about how and where to focus on such a day, please read the 2008 description at the bottom of Inspiration, thanks). * I am the Light inside me, I am the Light outside me, I am the Light beyond me. Spring coming Through the Winter of Souls Celebration of the Sun and the Light, which are on their peak, and so is all. Mother/Father Earth was green, and now some is burned out. Its hair, the Grasses and the Trees, survive, and bend at the violent caresses of the late days Wind. Screaming Light, sharp Colours. This is the celebration of the South, of the place of the youth: the movement is growing, outgoing, expressive, active, creative, passionate, emotional. The big Light is strong, and sharp, it shows everything, it reveals our beauties and our shadows too, our power, our limits and our misdoings. We can choose to open up to ourselves and to the rest, and face whatever is there, or we can hide and fear it all. Summer solstice is the celebration of the heart-power, and self-reflection. A moment that is good to dedicate to a honest examination of the results of our own Life in all aspects, and a moment to take extra responsability, to create new prayers, to choose the next steps, to take risks : it is a time for working on forgiveness, on compassion towards ourselves and towards others, (we all are doing the best we can!), and on trust towards Great Mistery inside and outside ourselves. Let us thank our Earth and our Brothers in all forms for all they provide to us, and our challenges for the teachings we get, let us pray for forgiveness and gentleness between all beings. * I have no words...my Friend... Be, finally, in Deep Deep Peace, and thanks for all: we miss you, but you are still with, and Love never dies. Death
is a great Teacher: it touches, and leaves all changed, somehow,
forever. Never more this Life this way, never more an embrace, before
next time... It woke me up once more, and put all my illusions apart,
naked Reality, naked Now, and how to handle, and who are we anywa y, and
who am I, what is Greed, what is Pain, and what is Love, what is in
between that I may have forgotten about,and what and how far goes
anything, whatfor,and how and when is my Puppet going to go.... ![]() Silence. Silence is there, deep into you. Silence is there, where nothing and everything really matters. Silence is fullness and emptiness at once, Silence is the place from where everything begins, and all ends. Fall Equinox. The moment coming again, a moment of balance, like a pause in the breath, after which the dark will start increasing again, and the night will conquer the day: days and nights are getting cooler, colours are changing to brown and red, and winter is slowly approaching. The fall equinox is the home of the west, of twilight and transition, of the little death, of apparent decay, of the ancestors and the elders: it is also the moment in which growth in nature seems to stop, the harvest is, or is getting stored, and preparation for rest and following renewal begins. As rest has to come after work, we slow down and turn inside the depths of ourselves for introspection: we look within, contemplate our lives, thank and honour our Life and our helpers in whatever realm they may be, and the past. We evaluate and reflect upon our year's achievements, new creations and challenges: we turn our minds to spiritual things, and connect to the power that comes from self-knowledge and correct self-judgement, without illusions: what more or else do we need for to accomplish the transition we are living in now? It is the time to forgive ourselves and others for the eventual misunderstandings and the missings that may have occurred, to become aware of the potential and teachings that they have given us, and, from a place of Silence, to become clearer about our own purpose, potential and possibilities, dreams and visions. and to pray for their fulfilment, We are stepping in the dark-times now, but the dark have its own beauties and gifts, let us enjoy and use them. Take time out for self-reflection, ceremony, meditation, contemplation, and to refresh youraltar and your house, clean up and get ready for a good dark increasing-time. Dark can be soft and warm! Winter Solstice 2008 Stop, and listen: make your Body as still as the winter Night, as quiet as the falling Snow, your Soul as clean as a Crystal: stop,listen, feel,enjoy the Darkness,the short Light Days,the long Dark Nights,the rest it offers you, rest for Insight, rest for new Inspiration, rest before the Rebirth of Light: the apparent Death brings its concealed Gift inside, the seed of the new Sun, the Seed of the richer life you can plan and pray for now: watch inside yourself, recognize your values, beauties and challenges, forgive yours and other's missings,pray for a peaceful energyfull Rebirth of Humankind and your Life, and Trust that it will come. Summertime. Heat and heat and heat, this year, marvellous, tyring, amazing, terrible...Nature suffering for not enough water...let us give an extra thought to the water we use, and maybe misuse, let us take responsability, and care for the amount of drinking water we use in our toilets, for washing up, in our gardens, it is the right time now. And let us also remember and give our Water a thought of Love, so the energy can grow aroumd us. Look...out out out, as much as we can, out in Life, out in Heat..... Most humans blossoming, undressing,
playful and full from the heat, from the final liberty of being out again, in the air.The
heat opens us up our temper, our emotions, our passions, our playfulness,
our sensitivity, our sensuality,
our hysteria and our loneliness too, it enlarges it all. Let us be grateful for the Sun, the Light, and for the Shadow. An inspiration for Sacred Space and your balance. Rest well, my Friend, and recover.
Walking the streets of Anywhere. ...if you can catch it inside yourself...love and light is needed everywhere, and all the time, turn into your Source, and spread whatever Good you can, it is never ever lost. Scratching one's nose. Think and feel how lucky you are when you can scratch your own nose, head, or whatever, with your own hands...be grateful for that, not all humans have that privilege....happy spring to you from me, enjoy your Life now. Springtime. The smell is changing, and the Light too. The pale and delicate Sun light caresses again the Earth. The seeds and the first flowers wake up from their winter sleep into the dark Mother Earth....trust has not failed them. Like a miracle of creation, small Beings appear everywhere, fresh and new, shining and living,vibrant and strong . Buds are ready to open, to transform, to suck in the new energy, colours and smells reappear, birds initiate their mating-songs.....light times are coming. Spring Equinox. Dark and Light, night and day in perfect balance for one split moment: from now on the power of Light will grow again, every day a bit longer, for a while. Spring equinox is the moment in which the active creative force is manifesting around us: in the medicine wheel, it is the moment of celebration of the East, to which the powers of birth, rebirth, renewal, creation, transformation and new beginnings belong to. It is starting time, creative and active time, refreshing time and miracles time. New beings appear, old beings reappear:the energy is both tremendously powerful and delicate at the same time: the seeds of our dreams and hopes are awaking and getting ready to manifest themselves with their joyful innocence, we can face our old results and reflect upon them. Refresh, refresh, face oneself, clean up, clean out. This is the time of stopping and examining how our seeds are truely growning inside ourselves, face them once more and, if they are the true ones, take care of them...remember to ask for clarity and guidance to our Inner Spirit, which is the Great Spirit too, act upon our projects, and wait with patience, trust and devotion for them to fully develop in our Life. Love from Mexico From the great Spaces, the deep Silences, and the roaring of the enormous Trucks, from the Desert Long Views, and the narrow Villages, Love to You, and a happy move into year 2008. Enjoy...Ada Mexico desert yesterday El chefe del Desierto, Juan Louis. Old Man in Sacred Military dress with a Bottle of Mescal in his Desert and his Machete, the Chief. Sharp dark Eyes and hands like an Animal, his Body like a Cactus, firm, stable, immobile, moved slightly by the Lines of Wind....Fire burning, Fire dying out....Silence and Dust. The teacher shared with us his Pain and his Wisdom, and he cried, and we all fell in Love deeply with him, and he with us. We touched one another, in perfect Moments Outside Time.Time is like a Piece of Plastic rolling on a Rocky Road, in a windy Afternoon. Nothing to say except Beauty, and that We All are Shining. Love to you All. Ada From Real de Catorce, Mexico Through Desert and Nothing... and through an old mine tunnel...Real opens to your Eyes, and it opens your Eyes too...ruins and laughter, shining colours and Mountains, quiet and cheerful, full of Gifts and Surprises, unexpected....empty and very full at the same time... From the paved roads, shining from use, to the old trucks, to the gorgeous Ruins, and the Cactuses, the Horses and the Mules, the Kids running and the old Men in white sombrero, Light and Beauty is given... the poor does not belong here, they all know they have a Paradise, and they are proud of it.... ...it feels like much much Gratitude for the blessing of being here, present here in this corner of the World, another Era, another Space, in and out of Reality at the same time...nothing happens, but many many small things and important things happen, the small kitchens are cooking and smelling good, while the Sun shines on these Beautiful Mountains and Ruins, and Water tubes run exposed down from the Mountain bodies, and the Mule and the Horse are Speaking..... it is fullly wonderful to be present on this piece of Earth....there is no misunderstanding why the Huicholes choose it like their most important ceremonial place, it feels magic....the Huicholes have a shrine on a top of a Mountain here, their Inner Sacred Place. the entrance is composed by three circles into ech other, and a center. One has to enter from the East alone, walk around the circle for purification, and then one can enter the second circle, which is containing the center, the altar...people out here say you shall meditate and purify yourself there, but only the shaman is allowed to enter the altar: the altar is as usual in these countries, a funny mix of beautiful sacred objects, broken cookies, plastic bottles, pearls, candles, and rubbish, or what looks like that; as you exit the circle, a little path goes up to the little chapel, the holiest, filled of much more things, same kind, pretty messy, totally, beautiful and colourful, and dirt or casual.....it feels like the beauty and the mess of the real world is represented there, it all, with Eagle feathers, symbols, power objects, crosses, wonderful paintings, jewelry, plastic bottles, rubbish and...the whole world, our world.....it felt very strong, my heart pumped much, and I almost cried, in the baking Sun, our common God. Love and good thoughts to you, my friend and reader, Hallo from Mexico ...from the big Mama mountain body of Tepotzlan.... in the middle of a beautiful valley, lays this village...there is not much to do, except getting busy with all kinds of alternative stuff, which you mostely already know about,(without arrogance), But... we come here for Mexico, not for therapy, we want mexican...so....sit by the church, in the market, or the zocalo, not much to do when you are free, and you do not need to rob yourself, or... cheat you... sitting in the evenings with nothing to do, no tv, no alchool, no bullshit for the brain, is quite rewarding. somehow....sitting by a tree in fulll sunday watching the mountains is medicine...brain slows down, brain cleans up, brain starvs, and by starving, starts to feel....and hear, and sense... Today we went to another village, the plaza was nothing nothing, nobody except a man with some plastic table to sell from, and a lot of mexican music screaming, a couple of people listening...nothing....Life moves, and every little thing that happen is a present, an event. ....the innner space obtained this way feel precious, no distractions, it is like meditation, in the cooking heat... We also went to a meeting, the mexican way...it took two three hours (mexi time), to get people togheter, and then...it happened...the energy of the circle, the words of the people on the spiritual path opened everybody«s heart...we were one again, one again, inspite of nationalities, ways, beliefs, churches, one again.....the whole house was vibrating of love... and in the early morning the brightest Star ever seen appeared to us in the East... love from Mexico. Mexico The square by which we live is the center of the world, everyone lives there, animals and people, it is a wonderful little square with a fountain and some big trees...lots of things happen, at all hours, at all weather and temperatures...the water is the center of this piece of world...kids, old people, business people, homeless people, car washing people, newspaper bringing people, old women, school students, shaving face old man, red dressed lady with washing gear hanging it all to dry, old brushing leaves man, collecting carton man, drunk old noisy boys at night, plastic collecting people, pretty very tight and short dressed prostitutes...everyone washes there, and everybody stops there, for a break, for a kiss, for a look, for a smoke, for a drink, or because they have no where to go, or because they need a rest in nothingness... everyone passes by the center of the world, now. Mexico city, 1 december.
Fresh leave from springtime has its own beuty, dead leave of autumn has its own beauty too, and so is with us, young and old.
back to index tibage til forside. Sommertime. Look around...sharp light, strong sun, everybody out...joy, latter and fun...or some lonely ones hiding away, and maybe suffering. Most blossoming, undressing, playful and full from the heat, from the final liberty of being in the streets or in Nature again, out out in the air.The heat opens us up, our temper, our emotions, our passions, our playfulness, our sensitivity, our sensuality, The Sun carresses us and burns us. Summer solstice. Celebration of the Sun and the Light, which are on their peak, and so is all. Mother/Father Earth is totally green now, Its hair, the grasses, are at their maximum beauty, they bend at every breeze, they shine, and they are ready to throw their seeds, the flowers are blossoming, coming up, or already gone. This is the celebration of the South, of the place of the young ones: the movement is outgoing, expressive, active, creative, passionate, emotional. The big Light is strong, and sharp, it shows everything, it reveals our shadows too. We can open up to ourselves, to the outside world, and face whatever is there, or we can hide and fear it. It is the moment of the heart, of being open and willing to examine the results of owr own creativity, of our work, of our prayers, and to choose the next steps, to take risks, and to take responsability for our further growth, not always knowing the results of our actions: therefore it is a moment for concentrating on trust, on forgiveness, on humility, and on compassion and kindness towards ourselves and towards others, (we all are doing the best we can!). Let us be grateful to our Earth and to the plants for all they provide to us, and to our challenges for the teachings we get, let us pray for forgiveness and gentleness between human beings.
The power of friendship....to Nino. I was visiting my best friend in Italy very short time ago: he has had an "ictus", with the result that his right side of the body is paralized and does not work anymore, or at least right now, and he cannot speak more than one word, "no", (which is by the way a very important one to me, and to him.) It has been a great and tough experience to be there...the man's state is different, he is right now in the poor and needy position of a sick man...depending on nurses and doctors and medicine and help.....he was a strong and social fighter before, an idealist who also could practice. I would say a noble man, not so easy to be close to, but a highly respectable and respected man: he could get very angry too ... to things that were not right, fight for what he believed was justice, and dare, and keep on going with expensive costs of his own life, nerves and sleep. And he was nuts with other things, which made him a wonderful being, a really human one with all "pros and against". This man could be anybody and the story can be applied to any story that the mistery of life changes into a tragedy, even his state seems to be reversible within long time prospectives. It was anyway wonderful to be with him, because he is my friend, I am his friend and I love him, and even though he was not in the position of speaking or answering, love was there and communication was there too, it was just apparently very different from what we knew before and what we used to ... we had to invent it : and that was a little scary to begin with: the way we used to be togheter was finished and another way had to start. What happened between us was that communication found other ways....and words are great but not necessarily the only mean of understanding each other... I noticed that his other friends had troubles in finding their role because he was so different:, and we talked much about it. This is why I like to share this story with you :there is a room between you and your friend, and a room in which you are togheter..... there is a confidence of some kind which only you two know about, the seed of your friendship: the seed have roots, and the roots stay whatever happens, you know them both because you watered them togheter: remember...that is the place to go back to, that is the power that will bring you through, that will show a way..... Many miracles happened while I was down there, at times it was not so amazing, but at times we "talked", and it was just as deep and touching as our relation always had been....we got some new experiences of and with each other: we had never ever before looked into each other's eyes for so long, and I had never dared to caress so much his head or hold his hand ..my being cracked open again and again, and he cried and I did....then smiles came and deep philosophy came and....silly things came.... we found a way, through the Heart, we found a way togheter, and it was beautiful, and somehow very natural. If it should ever happen to you to be in a situation like this, better or worse, remember....your friend is your friend and you are his/her friend, it is your and his/her duty , and your and his/her right to be whoever you are, honest, to be there for each other and confess and face your difficulties and your love, show it , invent how to express it, and it will be of great help and give you both power and joy. Friendship is the best thing we have as humans.
Winter Solstice. Winter is coming:...after fall's explosion of colours, clear and dramatic skies, haevily painted in silver, gold, and pink, and cooler air...apparent death and sleep approaches us once more, and light retreats : did you see and feel how the first snow wa,s or did you touch the ice? Do you remember the sharp and clean taste and smell of a cold day, or a cold night, all the stars shining brightly? This beauty, this clarity, belongs to the powers of the North, like the quartz-crystal. Stillness and dark times are the presents of Winter: it is time to stop and to look inside and feel, time of meditation, time to clean up and to purify oneself, to shine up our minds, time to forgive ourselves and others for what may not have been perfectly working, and for all the challenges and teachings that have come. Winter solstice, the darkest Day and the longest Night is for me the real new year: the Seeds are deep into the Earth, alive but sleeping, waiting with Trust for the coming heat to wake them up. On this special Energy day we can make a little Fire, or turn some candle lights on, to simbolize and to celebrate the Sun being reborn, the new Light growing, the Seed of our new Hope. It is, even it does not look like that, the true season of renewal. We can meditate on our Lives and experiences of this year and thank them, forgive all misunderstandings and mistakes, plan on how to apply our new knowledge, and pray for Wisdom and Clarity to guide us. Then, once it is done, plant good thoughts for your Circle, your Friends and Family, and if you feel like, for all of us on Earth, and let the prayer go with Trust, through the Flames, to the Spirit. Winter solstice Reflections, reflections: the other day I went to a funeral: the silent and strong partecipation of all, as the coffin was brought out, touched me deeply...sorrow may be obvious at a funeral, but intensity is not: the energy was tight and, if one did not know what or who it was about,one could call it "togetherness power" or yust "power": strangers and friends were togheter about something important. It was wonderful and strong to feel... As everytime someone dies, Death touches us and makes us reflect, once more, of the precious and troublesome gift of Living,of having people around that one can love and be loved from, and of the precious gift of having a peaceful Death: most of us keep on forgetting that this one day, this one hour, may be our last time here (unless one believs in re-incarnation, which may do it better or worse). As the cliche says "This is the first day of the rest of your Life" (cliche wisdom). I am grateful to H.Ulrik for this moment, and to all of us who were present. Life, also when it is gone, is reflected in our circle and in our deeds, in what we leave behind: our ways are very various as we carry on our Lives, what we believe in, what seems important to do......Love goes behind Death, my mother told me after she had left, and I believe that, but there are small other pieces of Love all around that we can create or keep alive....pieces of gentleness,of concern for each other,for strangers,for our friends that cannot talk,the animals,the plants,for anything we can think and feel about, and especially for our "enemies", or the ones we cannot really understand, whatever face they may have. Let us use some meditation-time for this on the winter-solstice. Winter-time is reflection-time,inner time,insight time,time of silence and purification, time of meditation and mind: we are close to the powers of the North, the powers of apparent Death, the apparent sleep...on winter solstice,the longest Night of the year, we can reflect on our Life and see how it all fits, or does not fit: the darkest and longest Night brings inside itself the Seed of the new Light, of the new Sun being reborn.... It is,even it does not look like that, the season of renewal. The Seed is deep deep into the Earth, waiting with Trust for the heat to wake it up. We can take our knowledge and experiences of this year,observe them and pray for transformation and wisdom, give away our minds, judgements and the idea that we already know,in order to find the missing pieces of our own truth, plan on how to apply it, and let it go: like the Seed, with Trust.
