Today holds an alignment of potent medicine to support planetary and personal change towards the growth of renewal. In the illumination of obstacles that no longer serve our deepest purpose we can allow the release of what hinders our path. We are in the midst of powerful sacred cycles that offer opportunity for reflection into the manifestation of our dreams.

I invite you take a moment tonight and gaze up to the stars in awe. Consider releasing what you would like to let go from your life and then focus your energy of intention towards what you would like to create right now and into the future. Now is the time for dreams to materialize. A simple gaze into outer space can be your catalyst. Take a break from the drama of your life story and consider that there may be much more to life than meets the eye.

The Summer Solstice is here right now in the northern hemisphere with a unique rare union of the full moon occurring today as well. A combination ideal for the celebration of life and the birth of renewal. Join in the wisdom of the ancients as the universe dances to the music of the spheres.

Best wishes to all for reconnecting within to reflect the greater collective in a symbolic union of one. We are all connected as one in this union. May we find ways to bring conscious action into awareness that supports peace, compassion and love towards all. Today I am reminded of magical synchronicity as our individuality is a direct mirror in the universal consciousness of the greater collective on the planet.

I wish to spread some light into the alchemy of existence just as the sun spreads its light in the longest day of the year during this soulful Solstice. A grateful reminder of the enlightened beauty of life we have before us even during the immersion of humanities greatest struggles at this moment. Growth is born through the gifts of challenge.

Today is the perfect day to bring illumination to and recognize some of the unconscious patterns that keep us stuck in cycles of repetition. The severing of these ties that bind us will help open us into the realization of our dreams. We dream our world into being with each thought and feeling of every moment.

The choice is ours to awaken into this poetry of our dream. What is the poem you hold inside you? This poem is the passion of the deepest dream in your heart of hearts. You deserve to Be this Dream.

I invite you to Be Poetry Now.

I would like to share a story of connection, interdependence and creation in honor of all life. Recently I hosted a workshop sharing methods to cultivate mindfulness and inspire creativity with poetry. My intention was the creation of space to allow an opportunity for a collective group poem to grow. The goal was to guide the group to compose the poem without my help. The idea was to show how writing poetry can flow easier than we may have imagined by holding a space of stillness within.

The collective energy of the group was the key factor bringing it all together. The cohesive flow of cooperation was necessary in order to achieve beneficial results. It was all about mutual connection with each other to support the reality of success. Essentially we connected as a whole by going within ourselves through meditation. Quieting our minds allowed us to hear the silent whispers of the heart and spirit. We drew inspiration from Mother Nature as we communicated with the elements during a stroll through Saratoga Spa State Park.

Our poem came forth effortlessly through the simple presence of our silent energetic connection. This state of open awareness is the perfect example of collective consciousness at work. Each person gracefully touched and orchestrated their inner wellspring of creativity. Mysteriously we maintained the connection of a joint natural theme that grew and flowed like water from the healing springs below.

The collective poem unfolded magically as if destiny had summoned it from the stars all along. I would like to offer deep gratitude to the following co-authors of this group poem. Your presence was sheer brilliance and shaped the dear magnificent beauty of our lovely words.

Many thanks to the following poetesses…

Here is our beautiful poem…

Between Roots & Leaves

I am a branch and I flow in the breeze

A gnarly knothole, another one calls home

Poised in dance, caught forever in time
