Greetings All You Wild and Wonder Filled Souls!
May you find a few minutes to grab a cuppa of something and nestle in as we take this time to simple be together. There is so much going on both inside and outside of us these days. I don’t know about you, but I and the world around me are being made anew every day. Transformation is happening! Time is speeding up and the changes are astounding and enlightening.
I was blessed to absorb the Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights last Friday night at Sargeant Bay. It was a moment of absolute wonder and awe as Maddy, Lawrence and I just looked to the colour and light dancing in the night sky. At one point there were rose tinges and then the image of an angel appeared with wings outstretched. I felt a sense of joy and divine protection. Aurora Borealis is derived from the Greek words “Aurora” meaning “sunrise” and “Boreas” meaning “wind.” In Greek mythology Aurora was the sister of Helios (the sun) and Seline (the moon). She raced across the early morning sky in her multi-coloured chariot to alert her siblings to the dawning of a new day. In Roman mythology the Northern Lights were also seen as heralds of a new day. Aurora was the goddess of dawn. So Wowed…it was a divine dance of electrically charged particles from the sun brushing up against our atmosphere. In astronomical language this physical process is called “excitation”.
I am reminded of the electrical charge that ignites between lovers…what a great word. “Excitation!!”
I believe that the Earth and all its inhabitants are physically and spiritually being enlightened…we are being excited, blessed and prepared for the ongoing healing work. We are being invited to take a deep dive into the interior (inner standing) and into the exterior (outer standing). The Great Spirit is drawing us into the dance of right relationship with the Creator, ourselves, one another, the earth, the cosmos, and all that is. It is time to allow and to quickly let go of things that no longer serve us and/or Gaia as we consciously enter the cosmic dance. There is always free will, so we do get to choose whether or not to accept this sacred invitation.
May you choose to dance with joy, wonder, and awe. We are here…we are together…we are loved…we are whole…the time is now! A new day is here…the dawning of excitation!
“Plant your feet upon the earth.
Know your value, know your worth.
Take a breath that’s long and deep.
You’re carried by the ground beneath.
Feel the sunshine on your skin. A lotus flower blossoming.
Your journey is your offering. You are here for a reason.
Send your roots down through the dirt anchoring you through the hurt.
With every breath lengthen your spine reaching steady towards the light.
Feel the sunshine on your skin. Turn up the wiser voice within.
Your story is your offering.
You are here for a reason.”
*Lyrics from “Rooted” by Aisha Badru*
We will meet this Sunday for Wild Seeds of Light Church. It will be outside in our spot behind the Halfmoon Bay school. Dress warmly and bring a blanket for comfort.
With Excitation,
Jacqueline
