My Invitation to You

Whether you call yourself a Christian, a Buddhist, a Muslim or a Sikh, a pagan, or a Sufi, or a Jew, this invitation is for you.

I invite you to seek within your own heart for the love of God, the divine love that is inherent in all things and that is the Source of all things.

I invite you to breathe the intention to expand this love within yourself and then - on the exhalation of your breath - to share this divine and unconditional love with all that is the world.

I invite you to breathe this divine love to Nature, to pavement, to all whom you meet and to the billions whom you will never meet, but who are part of your human family.

I invite you to feel the light and the warmth of this radiant love in your body, in the soles of your feet as you walk this sacred Earth, in your hands as you pay for your groceries, in your throat as you sing, in your chest as you talk to your friend and in your forehead as you read the news of the day.

I invite you to imagine our world as a place where this divine love grows and sows harmony and joy, solutions not yet imagined and peace not yet attained.

I invite you to feel into the energies of the times in which we find ourselves and perhaps wonder,

"If not now, when?

If not me, then who?"

The Power of Spirit Song

I awoke with a song coming through - no words, just a tune of deep expression.

After breakfast, I went into the forest and there experienced the inimitable beauty and power of the trees and the twilit space between them. 

I walked slowly, savouring the experience. 

The song within me was urging itself into my throat and heart. I sat on a bench and began to sing. Tears and emotion welled in me. 

I was singing for the people traumatized by weather disasters, destruction and war. All those who experience trauma, fear and terrible loss were the recipients of my energy through my song. 

I was singing their transmutation of this trauma, their larger being, their vast being. 

I was singing the larger process of which all of this is part and is process. 

I was singing confidence and belief in their ability to transcend and transmute, to grow and become. 

I was toning and sounding then, moving into powerful affirmation of the process of which we are all a glorious part. I was sounding the perfection of our process, our experience and our being. 

Then, as the darkness beneath the trees eased into morning, I was sounding and toning the joy and the optimism, the energy of hope and of becoming that we all have within us as potential, or as our vibration. 

I was sounding the vast becoming of humanity and of Earth – no part of this becoming is at fault or in failure; the wholeness of our becoming is not to be denied, is sounded as glorious perfection of being in the All That Is. 

Much was conveyed. 

I said, “My song changes the world. When I sing, I change the world.” 

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

I remember a phrase of resonance for me years ago, “I find heaven and inevitably I must leave it.” 

It was the recognition that I was in an energetic environment that was difficult for me. I found heaven and haven in the woods, by streams, in meadows… sometimes in my own safe home… but inevitably, I had to go back into the energetic discord of our world while the truth of my being was love. This now is changed. 

It is now time to shine the love that we are more and more into the world. The energetic environment in which we live and breathe has changed such that it is much more light, love and joy than it was before. 

This sounds counter to the news of the day. So be it. 

The energetic within us tells the real tale of becoming. The news of the day is old news. It is trying to be relevant, trying very hard. Yet in the new energies and in these times of transformation of all that we are and all that we experience, the best way to be relevant is to feel into the energies and report from there. 

And the energies are surging into new creations, solutions only dimly perceived by minds at this time, if perceived at all. 

The energies are surging into collaboration and communal reinvention. 

It is now possible for us to love being in the world and to use that love to change our world, to bring even more love and joy, fairness and goodwill into our communities, systems and environment.

Don’t take your energy for granted. 

Your energy sounds in you and perhaps comes through your songs, your words and your eyes and changes the world. You are more powerful than you can know and your song, your spirit song, is the expression of this love that you are. And this love that you are is more powerful than any other force in the universe.
