A spiritual life begins with Intuitive inspiration where the epiphanies of spiritual beginnings are very similar to a seed that sparks into life in nutrient rich soil and rises up out of the ground. One has come to genuine humbleness of an open heart and an allowing mind, the potential developing within one’s Heart Seed. This fertile dynamic environment for growth is the great compassion awakening within you and collectively with our Earth Mother!

Remember yourself within the Rhythm
The Turning within Ancient Indigenous Eyes
The Light of Primal Relation
Light of Origin’s Fulfillment
Light of a Seamless Whole

Finding a deep Remembrance
A Calling within the Heart of All
Stepping through a Curtain that has never existed
Acknowledging a Primal Expanse
The Aware Wonder of Origin

Suddenly Space Lights beyond all conscious limits
Felt within every Fiber of your being
Heart’s Confinement is Vanquished
The Delusion Severed
The Return of Natural Vibrant Being

Primal and Ageless Knowing Flow
The Openness of a Light Unseen
An Awareness whose Brilliance
Is the Inherent Radiance of Life
Today’s Vital Prayer of Remembrance

03/18/2026

To experience the resonant Heart of Origin
Weaken the web of ordinary influence
Creating a cave of mystery around your Heart Light
Find the silence of solitude to hear the Calling of Origin
And allow the subtle lines of the Earth to guide
Simple, living emanating flow of blessings

Clearing the ordinary lines of Influence
To Bathe in the Rays of the Sun

Live within the threshold of mystery, where Origin lives and ignite the wonder of a living responsive vision

Hawks Circling the Blood Moon
Hunting the Light within Origin’s Heart
To Resolve the Clouds and Haze

The Light Hunts the Seeker Too
With Patience Born Outside of Time
Stalking with Primal Fluidity

Turn the Wings of Spirit
Align with the Full Moon
To Sense Light’s Tone of Being

Within the Sign of the Hawk
The Fire can Burn the Soul
Or Ignite as a Prayer within the Rhythm

Pray Upon the Heart’s Current
Flight of an Aware Openness
To Light the Heart for All Being

For the Rhythm’s Translation
Is an Open Blessing of Heart’s Eye
A Knowing Union and a Fluid Ascension

Through a Window Silently
A Tree moves in a Wind
A Feather having Fallen within a Breeze
A Flame’s Wave upon Space

Catch the Fleeting Waves of Experience
A Space of Time
Neither a Spirit of an Action
Nor a Soul of a Being
Only a Wave in Origin’s View
The Passage between Solidity and the Mist of Spirit

Aware of Fleeting Waves
Stepping back from the Self
Stepping away from Ordinary Perception
To Rest in the Purity of Openness
And See through the Eyes of Origin

The Resonance of a Transcendent Calling

Especially in the Dark Clouds of Our Times
You must Calm your Subtle Energy
And Witness the Transient Waves
Of the Heart of Origin

To Be a Prayer for All Being

02/20/2026

The Purity of Origin’s Heart glows
No Prayer No Song No Ceremony
No Demands of Worship
The domination of boxes begin to fade
Where even the holy boxes no longer dictate
To flourish simply as a blossom in the Spring time Air
Within the quietness of Heart’s Open Air Space
The occasional flight of birds of Mind
Tracing patterns that fade in your noon day sun
The walls of remembrance
Mist in the brightness that shines beyond self
The Transcendent Flight within the Being of Sky
As your Flight never leaves a Trace
To be a Rainbow Reflection
The Purity of Transcendent Openness spontaneously arising
One with the Divine Vision
Upon our Earth Mother
Floating in the Expanse of Space

To be simply a Prayer for All Being

Full Moon Blessing

May illumined Hearts stand witness to the Beatitude of Being

The Primordial Joy inherent in the arising waves of Living Light

And the Grace of the Sun shining through the dewdrop of our Home

To Ignite a Prayer within the sacred Circle of Creation

For All Beings to continue to Walk in Beauty within Origin’s Blessings

01/26/2026

Through Earth Mother’s Eye
Remember the Kinship with Ancient Gestures
Countless moments below the Threshold of Culture
Presence of Innumerable Beings
Digging Weaving Secreting
Cellular lineages carried in the Holy fluids of Earth
Timeless Oceans transmitted Endlessly
On the Sea of Mother’s Eye
Flows through countless Hands and Feet
Beings shaped within the fluidity of Light
The Fertile Essence of Inner Radiance
The aura of Ancientness expressed in Union
Of spheres riding upon the Sky of Mother’s Eye
The Circle, just as it is

Remember and Return
To Our Mother Our Home Our Refuge

01/17/2026

Bonfires in the Night
Our Children's feet are held in the Fire
As Earth becomes a Prison Planet

A Prayer Cries out in the Burning
Of Illumined Presence
And Aware Heart’s Witness

Returning to Origin’s Heart
With Blended Tears
For Radiance is in the Rain

And Toss a Stone into the Basin of Origin
Creating Rings on Bright Water
The Circle’s Fluidity of Light

Making Every Step you take
In the Ashes of Our Time
A Prayer for All Life and Earth’s Renewal

The Earth Refuge

Living as a Prayer
With all the Love the Joy and the Sorrow
To the Luminous Heart of Calling Rings
Recognized deep in your Heart
A Presence
An Inward Translucent Focus
Quiet Plain
A Stone that had been Tossed
Finds its place in the Luminous Depth
Realizing the Source of its own Rings
To Flow within a Radiant Field
Seeing with the Eyes of Pure Being
To a Union that has never been Separate
A Luminous Ring of Presence

Many Blessings for the New Year!

Solstice Prayer

May the Sun of your Heart
Rise upon the Rainbow Fluidity of All Being
To Breathe in the Wholeness
Alive at every moment
And send out waves of Eternal Love
To cool the heat
Heal the wounds
And Set the Seed in the Hearts of All
To a new beginning for this Loving Sphere of Beauty
Abiding in the Primordial constant of Grace

Within the grief of the setting Sun
The Rays still Speak
The Spectrum of inherent Beauty and Love
In the failing breath of our times
Lies the spark of Unlimited Grace

The Living Prayer
Peaceful Cross of Openness
Offering of All Knowing
And Rhythm of Pure Being
The Seed of an Eternal Sun
Waits In the Heart’s of All

May we Live again as a Prayer
In the Simplicity and Grace of the Circle

I

Walking Blindfolded in Wide Angle Vision
Within the Slow Rhythms of the Earth
Helps to close off the Mind’s Interference
The Boundaries maintained by your Eyes
And the Learned Response to Perception
Surrendering Solidity Certainty Distance Motion
Flowing and Continuous
No coming no going no here no there
Loosening the Knots
Opening to a Timelessness
Of Heart’s Perception
Becoming the Song and Response
Arising moment by moment
Remembrance of the Lost Way of Seeing
Light of the Heart Guiding You
To the Presence and Connectivity of All Being

II

Before the Spheres of Radiance
No All No Light No All No Being
Essence
Never Ending Never Beginning
Neither Present Nor Void
Inherent Will and Intent of Pure Potential
Yet an Extinction of any Absolute
Before Space
And the Arc of Radiance
The Threshold of a Spark Held Unfired
Horizon
A Resonant Tone to the Prophecy of Being
And The Fires of Becoming
And the Perception of Being
First Grace of Radiance
Past Present Future Living as One
Spiral Singularity of All
Like Seeds upon a Sunflower
Rings of Radiance
A Timeless Encirclement

III

The Sacred Primal Joy of the Circle
And the Presence of All Potential
The Remanent of First Grace Seeded in your Heart
