Sorry, but due to my hiatus, there were no reflections for August. Here, now, is for September. Thank you for your patience! My Dear Loved Ones: I have been out of touch and weaving a spell. I decided to sell my place in the White Mountains and am now a vagabond in a truck and camper in Oregon. I knew within a week I would be moving here. Hikes in wilderness areas, beaches, and a lively entertainment culture are all out my door. And numerous kinds berries growing wild (my lips are stained red) and the best smoked salmon and fish I’ve ever tasted. I will return to Arizona for a few months in the winter, although storm watching at the beach from a restaurant with a fireplace is a local pastime. I decided the universe desires to be put to the test, and I must not talk the talk but walk the walk now. Either the universe is abundant and has my highest good in mind for peace and happiness, or it doesn’t… and I choose that it does. So here I go! I’M SURRENDERING TO LIFE, AND IT’S WALKING IN MY SHOES. I’m walking into the sunrise every day, there is no turning around. It’s all chaff and salt back there. I’m walking into the future and I’m holding hands with all of you. What travelling wayshowers are we! LOVE IS ON THE MOVE To the heart that is not mine and yet is all that I AM…I offer undying love and eternal devotion…as It has offered to me. I am finding on this journey how beautiful and similar people are; that this same HEART is meeting me everywhere I go and looking back at me with eyes of love; or do I see a reflection of me, looking at me with eyes of love? My dreamers, I believe in you, and we are dreaming this up together. Although it is fun and even non-sense (God pushed the “SURPRISE ME” button), we are serious about calling in the joy…like birds chattering to the sun at the first rays of the new dawn. And we want to dish out compassion like ice cream and have everyone eat it politely and pass some on. But we waste time eating with spoons. Instead, why not love the whole world… the people and the earth… as if there is no tomorrow and no time left, because there isn’t. And if we crack open and pour out this love as an endless current, the waves will carry us all to that place of caring and Oneness. People will have no choice and no say so, because LOVE is a power not to be reckoned with. It’s on the move! And when you are in its blast… it melts your bones of contention… and boils your eggs of ego. It smothers your smugness… and pops your perspectives… and then, smoothly pours salve over the burns, rubbing gently and whispering: “Come home now. You’ve had enough. Come where there is only LOVE served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And then, let’s find anyone left who has not supped.” What can be said about what is already in everyone’s hearts? What words are there to convey what we already deeply know in our bones and our every cell? That love vibrates in the universe, that we only plug in to the outlet or inlet and merge our individual consciousness with All That Is. We are all waking up and saying, “Here I AM. Here is my story.” Let us pass around our stories, they are the scripts we have followed thus far in the play This Is My Life. But leave out the details entitled “Who did what and why and where, and OH my God you should have seen…” Let our awakening be a sharing of hearts, how we have overcome our pasts, how the pain and suffering and trials and tribulations have added to the beautiful moist winged angels we are becoming now, still with our warts and wrinkles and layers of fat, our brittle hair, adult acne, our sometimes melancholy moods, and our egos that get stepped on. We have arrived here, NOW. Our stories are behind us, just that, long tales, tall tales, sad tales, and the food that has fed our souls. Now what? We follow our hearts. We hug ourselves and others, receive as much comfort as we can before we leap. We are leaping off a cliff not knowing where the ground is below. We are taking a leap of faith… by projecting a vision before us. A vision not out of thin air, but the bones of our ancestors and the steel of our wills, we create a vision that must be such a strong bridge…we can step onto it and walk to the other side. Where are we going? Our hearts know. Our souls know. It is to our purpose as the beings we truly are, the beings of light and love originally forged that needed or wanted this journey of learning in duality, playing in our stories awhile yet. Until we could build the connection of hearts and dream the bridge into existence… to our higher life. Our true life awaits us! All we do now, is take off the blindfolds and hold hands! For we are the One Presence living in indisputable irreconcilable bliss…to which we put over masks to try and hold back our blazing glorious image from the public view, and to play peek a boo with everyone we meet. Who are you? And who are you? We know who we are! Let’s remove the masks and wiggle and giggle and glow together in the light dancing. WHAT IF love is taking over the world, and is the final virus of contagion? The ease that will counteract all dis-ease? The light that will blaze into the darkness of every soul’s unhappiness? Love will unite us in that ONE deep place where we are ALL simply having tea together on a beautiful pristine morning in the woods in this dream of life. Step into your dream! In Courageous and Unreasonable Love, Cynthia Clayton |
