“listen………listen………listen……..with your soul……we are one”
~Gaia
Gaia picked the title. She thinks it’s funny. If you can imagine the sound of a planet gently chuckling…you’ll know what I’m hearing as I write.
And, since the title is so self explanatory, I’m pretty sure you know where the rest of this post is coming from. Turns out she’s feeling succinct.
rest your belly on mine…
…we are one
slip your soft-bodied self into my waters…
…we are one
spread your arms and dance with the winds…
…we are one
flood your senses with streaming sunfire…
…we are one
listen………listen………listen……..with your soul…
…we are one
breathe softly in darkness…
…we are one
In all ways, in all places, in all times…
…we are one
~~Gaia~~
Gotta love it when listening to your mother offers loving support like this

Today’s guest blogger is
“We watch you now more than ever. Your world has changed again and we have ended our long cycle of holding the veil. We hear the call of the horns and drums to those few who remember the old ways and old councils of wisdom. We spread our wings touching your conscious minds in dreams, daydreams and art. We come because you call to us, the wise ones and we are here to help you once again. Put aside the old fear, the mistrust from an old world that did not want to hear the truth. Trust instead with your heart, with your ever burning spirit of passion that beats in your heart. We see the greed and lust starting to fade away and many of you are looking for us with conscious glowing eyes. We see you facing the beast within and reaching for an understanding that your inner dragons, or demons, are not something you have to fight, but instead something you must accept. This beast you fight, be it cancer, ego, ignorance or corruption is only you looking back from the mirror of life. Are you not tired of seeing the world only in black and white, good or bad? Do you long to be at peace with yourself and in harmony with the world around you? How can you be I AM when you are not seeing all that YOU ARE? Stand up to yourself, stand in the fire of truth and see all that you are. Watch as it blends into a powerful being of light; all that you judge as bad, all that you seek as good combines into a new being. You are all of creation. When you see and accept the entire truth of yourself you can respect the perfect symmetry of life within. It is when we respect self we see and respect all of life around us. This respect radiates out in all we do. There is no fear, no doubt and no resistance to life because balance is natural and easy to maintain.




Emmie was 15 years old, was not ill, but her body had aged to the point she no longer had control. This past week her spirit had been leaving her body more and more. We both knew it was time for her to join her
Emmie adopted me in 1999, when she was about a year old. She loved to run, explore, chase squirrels and take car rides. Emmie was never so happy as when she knew we were getting in the car to go to the dog park.
