A Precious Time......

Welcome to this new time; fresh snow, a 'new year' just around the corner, energetic presence stronger than ever before! Wow, what a time to be alive!

For the first time in a couple weeks the sun is shining in this snowed in Portland Metro area. The low light brings a glow not unlike that which is growing in every one of us. Know it or not, we are awakening. Like it or not, change is on upon is.

I am inherently an optimist. Some have 'accused' me, some have 'diagnosed' me of being Polly Anna-ish. Quiet in this view, I am. People like to have their perspective respected, hence, I say little these days about what I am sensing deep in my cells; there is change underfoot, literally and figuratively. Good change, it is. Change that we have been praying for for decades. Remember?


"The system needs to change!"
"We need our country to remember FOR the People! BY the People!"

So, here we are, in the midst of the change.

In the midst of all the change I am watching an interesting phenomenon. The little mind, the habit mind, the body mind wants to latch on to its view, its perspective with a white knuckled grip, "The sky is falling!!!" cries Chicken Little!!! or is it Little Chicken? The fear, the reactivity is tangible, so therefore it must be real, right?
But I can FEEL it!!! the mind screams!!! Demanding attention to the so called fact that the sky is falling, it becomes oblivious to the very existence of where the sky is falling FROM and what it is falling TO. SOMEthing still exists. The mind isnt capable of seeing that view as easily, not without suport, guidance, encouragement, and practice.
I remember when I was a teenager; I would get a pimple, usually in some blatantly obvious place like the end of my nose. I would perseverate about how it was effecting my looks. And the whole while be missing the FACT that the skin was doing a very good job of eliminating toxins from my body. Mind says, "Pimple BAD!", fact is "Pimple GOOD!".

So here we are, in the midst of BIG CHANGE. Mind says "Things are BAD!!", when in the Big Picture, "things are Good". There is a reordering, a reorganization going on from a very High view. And here we are in the midst of it!

This is a GREAT Time to align ourselves with the High View, to set our sights on a broader horizon that includes a re-setting of our direction.

In the morning, welcome the day and all that it brings.

Every reaction, fear, wave of strong feeling is an invitation to let the core energy of that feeling break free and dissolve. No need to act out, or process, let the energy move.

When energy is moving, its a great time to bring the minds attention to the finite details of the body and its inner rhythms; trace the air coming in, register the ribs and diaphragm moving with the breath, feel the pulse in the arteries, the heart.

When the mind wants to embody Chicken Little, brings its attentiveness to the movement in the body; do a thorough inventory of how many ways gravity is effecting you RIGHT NOW. Make it a game, give your mind a clipboard, a white lab coat, and safety glasses!!!

These activities are the beginnings.
There is something that breathes the body, there is something that maintains gravity, there is something that makes the heart pump. THAT Body, the Body of the body is what is slowly and gently entraining the mind.

This gentleness is important. It helps develop Love and Foregiveness.

These are precious times, Good times to be on the Earth. There is MUCH support for us now. Dare to deepen your most Sacred Intentions. Dare to release the burdens of the past, Dare to embody your True Nature as you truly are.

Be Well.

namasté,
Sunny

Gifts of Winter......

In this contemporary day it is easy to consider the Holiday Season one of Gifts to be given and received from friends and family. Yet there is a depth of offering in this Seasonal Turning, rooted in ancestral genetics pre-historically, bypassing all consumerism whatsoever, unless, of course one wishes to include the invitation and the fact that during the depths of Winter contemplation one can be consumed by the Fire of Light!

Winter; the time for turning inward, to face, and welcome the Darkness. Such beautiful support there is in this Seasons longer nights and darker days! So we go within to the best of our ability. There may be all kinds of thoughts, memories, emotions that once thought 'dealt with', or not. And so they rise, to be seen/acknowledged. And so they rise to be gathered and brought to the Light that is growing and building. We celebrate the return of the Son, the Sun, the Light, the Light of Day. All of it is in the Turning of the Dark to Light.

What an invitation!!!!

Bring up the old forms, rules, and 'ow-ies' from the basement and the attic (literally and figuratively!), lay them all out without remorse or regret and let the Light from within your precious Heart and Soul shine on it, bathed in acceptance, washed in forgiveness, and dissolved in the releasing.

Over and over and over again if that's what it takes.
Oh, it takes more than once?
No Problem!!!
Afterall, when the toilet is clogged, do you only push the plunger ONCE to get the lines cleared??!!!?

Heavens Sake, NO!!!!

Plunge this stuff!!!! Flush it with every bit of Light you've got!
Dont underestimate your resources either, there is more than than you 'think'!!!! (Follow that Riddle!!!)

Flush it clear with full-hearted enthusiasm. And when you feel tired, or tuckered out, know there is a whole legion of Angels cheering for you,
"YEAH!!! GO! GO!!! FLUSH IT OUT!!!! THATA WAY!!!!! GOOD JOB!! WAY TO BE!!!!!!"
or something like that. You'll have to check into your team and see how they cheer you on.

Sometimes when the thick of the clearing is going on, its forgotten there is support and cheering and resources unending. This is a reminder.
There is support.
All the time.
All Ways.
Help yourself remember.
Be active in remembering.

And remember, asking for help is a way of giving a gift;
there is so much help waiting to be asked for, and available once asked for.
Give the gift that keeps on giving;
ask for help.

Blessings from the Blizzard!!!
Precious Winter Turning......

Plutonian Winter ....

I am burning.
Finding the hardwoods of habit
feeding this fire like rocket fuel and a match
well lit
burning til complete
and then
some more,
or is it
and then
s'mores!!!

The softness of the pause
the gentle cradle of Stillness
Mind says 'aaaaaah....'
then the next wave rises in the tailwind
of Minds stirring.
over and over,
giving every wave to the Vast Void
As though there is nothing else
eheheh, and so it is!

The Old rises
"To GOD!!!!"
The Old rises
"TO GOD!!!!!"
The Old rises
"TO GOD!!!!!!"
the phone rings
a friend
in gratitude
we speak of Stillness
and say no more.


And so it is.
This that speaks
and pores/pours/poors
Poetry no more
fluidity of Forgiveness
Vapors of Old
Mind says its all bunk
has no rhyme
no meter
to pulse
the human
oh, Well.
And so it is.
This Silence Is.

The Splendor of the Moment

Well.
Yes.
I AM.
Well.
Now, residing in Portland, Oregon.
First winters snow has arrived.
Cold weather for here.
Thank you Colorado, for acclimating me to 'cold'!
This 'cold', THIS cold is only senses responding relatively.
Relative, subjective..... eheheh none of it is True!

Few words for this realm of dissolving.
IF there were to be a report it would say,
"Sunny is no longer with us.
If you see him, know him as the Light You Are!!!

yep, thats All folks!!

Freedom is right HERE......

So simple.
This
Presence
of Life
Waiting
patiently
for 'me'
to
Remember
Stillness.

And NOW.......

With each passing touch of the breath that IS
There is less and less to say.
NO one to say it, No one to hear it.

So here, now, breathing.
Yes
NO matter what, yes.
It is all the rising of Life
no matter what, yes.

NO where to 'go'
for I AM HERE.
