Where were you, what were you doing, when you KNEW you were MORE?

Peggy J [no longer around] said Dec 9, 2006, 3:31 PM:

 

There are times in our lives when suddenly there is an immense expansion, suddenly we are so much more than the day, even the moment before this awareness occurs. I am talking about being fully cognitive of this expansion. Sure we all have glimpses as children, as some are fortunate enough to keep in touch with the MORE that we already are, most though lose that awareness and then the long journey of rediscovery to THAT THAT WE ARE begins.

My Story, I have written as a poem, and the poem tells what occurred. The symbols in the poem actually occurred, manifest visions. I saw them! I experienced them! The person with me that day did not. Were the horses, the elders… becoming the moon, sky… real? Yes! Every bit real and they all became my guides over the next 3+ decades to this moment…. the poem…


GRANDMOTHER FIRE RISING

To the east of San Diego, under an Anza Borrego full moon
Wild Coyote-Crone Woman sings a melodious tune
Where she once walked naked through cactus and brier brush
Leaving behind Earth-clan and goods turning to dust
Wild Coyote-Crone Woman laughs easily, sings, hums…

Here, a finger points to the ground… Put your left ear close to the sand
Listen, Do you hear the hoof-beats that make no sound?
Look up! Do you see the three Red Chiefs astride three white stallion?
There, over there, See the five women elders seated round the fire.

Once… stalled in this desert
Out of water
Out of food..
Out of tears
Surrendered
Wild Coyote-Crone Woman stood

Here, says the finger, again pointing to the sand
Up to here her footprints ran…

Like an hourglass
Wrong side up
Too long in the desert heat
turned itself inside out

In one breath
One great sigh
Wild Coyote-Crone Woman became
The sand
The moon
The sky.

I always knew I was different.  However, when I began to listen to Canada's public radio station, CBC Radio 1, and really listened, I became inspired.  I heard people like me, with my visions, speaking my thoughts.  I was not alone!  In addition, I fell in love with my country and its inhabitants, my neighbours, from coast to coast to coast.  I knew then that I had a purpose, to help and sustain what is good in all people, the ordinary common people like you and I, but I also realized that in order to do so, I had to help myself first.  And that's why I'm here.

i'd love to have more discussion about this sort of experience and sense of gratitude for the country of Canada in my pod, Zed is Us, eh? Maybe you'd like to join me over there in a discussion about things Canadian?
