Packing…

and all the things one thinks one needs…

and the things one really needs, and…

hopes, and wishes, and maybe expectations,

and maybe small fears…

and just a little stress,

is it going to be all right?

and the “what if”s,

and the adventure wish…

and the “remember”s…

and the smell of a “new horizon”…

so many facets to one’s journey…

Are you going to be here when I am back?

And then we are gone,

and then we are back,

with a new piece of Life

to be remembered of,

and maybe “lessons” to digest,

fresh energy, maybe tired.

Unpacking, washing, putting things back…

You are still here, how wonderful!

Gliding into everyday’s reality…

it was easier that I thought,

and more giving than I thought…

Thanks World, to allow me to move through you,

thank you Heart People,

thank you Sea, beautyful Earth,

and loooong unspoiled Beaches,

and high high Skies…

Splendor, Light, Apex, Sun power.

Cleansing, Blessing, Joy, Abundance, Celebration, Flowers and Herbs, Beauty and Strenght.

Fire, Midsummer is here!

Every year we celebrate the Sun movements and cycles, both as a moment of Prayer and Gratitude for our Life, and as reflection of our own (Birth, Growth, Maturity, and Decline), and Nature’s cycle.

We mark and create Rituals to keep in touch both with the Inner and the Outer Reality, to keep in Balance, to clear once more our Path, re-set our Intentions, and thank Earth, the Sun, and all the Elements and Beings  for their Gifts.

Here a few “inspiration key words”:

Refresh yourself, your Alter, your Home,

invite Light into your Being, into your Life, and into Earth,

stay Outdoor and intake the Sunlight if it is there, the Energy if it is not,

have an Air bath or a Ocean bath, (or them all),

have a barefoot walk ,

visit a place from where you can see the Sunrise and the Sunset,

and bless them both.

Give Offerings to the Animals, and the Nature Beings.

Do or create something new.

Meditate for Peace and Harmony.

Make a circle of Beauty(ful things)  in front of you to contemplate,

and a Fire, or Living Lights, to

share with yourself and others…

Drum , sing your favourite songs and dance,

eat delicious food, drink favourite drinks,

share your achievements,

reflections and Intentions for the next Sun cycle,

celebrate and

enjoy!

…when I am allowed,

and I allow myself,

to “guide”…

“I ” disappear…

there is Power,

there is Flow,

… Oneness…

Our Hearts wide open,

we are Touched,

we are Together

we are Human,

we are Us…

For an Infinite short  time,

our Stories melt,

our Energy melt,

“we” melt away,

in ecstatic Bliss.

Then,

back to our Reality,

the Ceremony is over…

It is not…

… It lives Inside.

If you are not with doing “something special” for Earth day,

a few suggestions which take little time and little effort.

Expand, change, remix, as you wish, depending on who and how you are.

***************************

START YOUR DAY IN GRATITUDE

FIND SOME TIME AND ENERGY TO CONNECT TO EARTH (or NATURE BEING), and/or THANK EARTH FOR ITS GIFTS

BE GENTLE TO SOMEONE, OR SOMETHING, and/or GIVE A (SMALL?) GIFT TO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING

DO SOMETHING (SMALL?) THAT GIVES MEANING TO EARTH  and TO YOU, and THAT MAY BE NOT ALWAYS EASY TO DO

MAKE A SHORT (LONG?) TIME AGREEMENT TO RESPECT EARTH (and YOURSELF) SOMEHOW A LITTLE MORE

THANK to EARTH, to YOU, and to US ALL.

****************************

It is coming up , on April 22, worldwide, a day of symbolic Union.

Why a day dedicated to Earth?

To remember and refresh our Connection, and our Respect.

To celebrate and honor our Lives while we are here.

There are so many things we are given, and we can thank Earth for!

It is our Home, our Planet.

It provides  us with Room to be, Food, and Drink.

It is there before us, and will be after us.

It heals us always, if we ask it.

It gives us Beauty, and Inspiration.

It is Home for All our Relations, the Green, the Animals, the Rocks, the Elements, us Humans.

We will walk to the Center for this day,

in Silence,

carrying Gratitude and Blessings for all the Beings we cross,

to one of “my” Sacred Places,

then we will move  to a large Rock, big Mama, an old Friend.

We will gather in a Circle to refine our Energies, and create Connection.

Some time will be spent on our own,

The rest will be given as a present to her through meditation, songs and dance, and Offerings.

We will end by the Sacred Fire, sharing Food and company.

BRING with: small offerings ( for example: rice, vegetable, feather, rocks, water, things that do not pollute)

drums and rattles, something to sit on, a piece or two of DRY WOOD, food, drink, what you know you need. A plastic bag

and plastic glove for collecting rubbish while we go.

Meeting TIME and PLACE: Hareskov station, forest side, 15.00 o’clock (be precise, please), end after 2 and half/3 hours (but one never knows), without Fire sharing time.  You are free to go when ceremony is over.

Visiting a Sacred Stone,  Big Mama,                                                 At besøge et KraftSten, Big Mama,

an old Friend…                                                                                     en gammel ven…

A strong ceremony,                                                                             En stærk Ceremoni

A good Sharing circle by the Fire                                                       En go Sharing Circle ved Ilden

I am sure we all can agree about the big and deep importance of sharing, no doubt there,

and its great value, rising more and more.

Still, sharing has thousands meanings, degrees, expressions and faces.

Years ago, in a period one could call “enquire time”,

I was reflecting upon “my work, its value, and its impact”.

Being guest at a friend’s marriage, and having accepted both the responsibility,

and the guidance of the ritual part of it, I was a little tense…

After the ceremony was done,

I came to “share opinions” with a previously unknown lady.

I was in doubt whether “my work” had generally to be “reduced”, and how much.

She attentively listened, and erupted in a

“You cannot retire, the world needs you,

it is your duty to share what you know!”

Her words were like an arrow, they hit me right in the heart.

She was right!

Every time I doubt, I remember her, again and again.

This story here to inspire us to ask ourselves

“What can I share, and how?”

There are so many many ways…

And to remind us also to “share with ourselves”.

How, we better ask ourselves…
