Operating as usual
My heart IS the ocean
Discovering distant shores within this body I inhabit
One with all beings in this sea of light
Buoyant plasmic waves bouncing off each other—an infinity of northern lights
Wonder and celebration encountering our unclaimed land—as we flow into the vastness that was always us

Some wheels need reinventing
They haven’t been running right
Such has been the state of things in this world
Stand on the Earth and lets get it running love

All in
Those of us who put their hands up for the experience of life on this earth now are all in.
We’re not here for a kind of superficial or numbed out life that’s been presented.
We’re here both feet in -standing strong.
That strength is activated in the sweet territory of silence—a space of self witnessing where you remember and embody who you are.

Poem from the archives for
Yesterday the cleansing waves washed away the grit around my gills
So I could breathe easier
Purifying the pebbles held beneath the surface
So I could see more clearly what didn’t belong
The crystal waters revealed the solid truth of my origin
So today I could dream awake
In the direction of Love

What belongs in your life
We
Each of us
Have played the game
Whose rules are mostly hidden
Suppressing the live current running through us
To be like the herd
We
Were told
Fit in
Go with this flow
But it’s one that dammed up our hearts’ rivers
Now
Growth will not allow this
Our true nature emerges as effortlessly as leaves answer the call of spring rain
We transmute
the suppression
Transforming it to growth
We
Remember
We activate this current ~
to meet the ocean of ourselves
Drawn by an ever more irresistible flowering
We are leaving behind what was
Stepping back into the vastness of ourselves
Because to do otherwise really does go against the flow of truth in our being
Brilliant
Vast
Infinite
Love

We,
a symphony of wonder and light
whose song reaches the edges of the cosmos
No conductor needed
An invitation
to remember what has been hidden,
to play the unsung notes
Each precious instruction for this perfomance
comes forward in one perfect harmony
No thing in dissonance
No notes unsung
A sound ecstasy
So much love to play this composition
that the heart instrument feels it may burst
Allow it to shatter beloved,
beyond it’s former limits
Let the golden light of this infinite symphony
spiral from your sacred epicentre
Bathing the cosmos,
and raining back down,
Wonder
upon the Earth
(art & poetry Christine Pensa)

Sacred waters
These tears we weep
Are no longer a reflection of our sorrows
They are the sacred waters of our hearts
Flushing every thirsty thing with
Joy, freedom, wonder and pure love
Flowing into the songs of babbling brooks,
Running with rolling rivers,
Dancing on the crests of ocean waves as we make for new shores

Where truth once tortured us
Now is the moment
to let it set us
Free
Standing together with the Earth
Beloved of who you be,
Pure love
blanketing our planet

Show me more of this beauty beyond the beauty
I am loves pure presence
On this Earth
Embodied in this being
as truth
Sometimes I have been unable to hear the full symphony of truth singing through my cells
But she has always been there, even as a tiny whisper
She is fed by the light
Her song rising up as a gentle wave through the sacred space of my body
A symphony being played
creating pure harmonies as my being dances in delight
Arms flung wide
Crying out
Show me more of this beauty beyond the beauty I think I know

LANDED
This heart we are is the cosmos
A million pinpoints of light
Following on the wave of each tiny gesture
The true wisdom of the ages revealed
As we see ourselves without patterns
Breaking free from every suppression and shackle
Across every lake, every mountain, and every city
Our pure note rings
Landing softly in the waiting hearts of the ones we have already become
With the Earth
(art & poetry Christine Pensa)

Crown
I recognize the pure note rising from my throat
A little strangled to start,
it rings
through my sinus cavity
Rising in frequency
To greet the crown,
remembering it's song
A joyous reunion with my sisters and then our brothers
We gather once again
in this moment to anchor
our freedom
A rainbow bright blossoming
on this Earth
We are here
We are legion
We are love

SILENCE
I walk through the chaos
Observing from a slow motion perspective
frantic movement,
zzz zzz zzz
electric noise vying for my attention
Now silenced.
My feet continue
Steady
Powerful
Strong.
Embodied knowing that
I am eternal
I am pure love
I choose the path to follow
This is the walk of freedom

After a beautiful summer hiatus the podcast is back.
In this episode I’m revisiting the metaphor of the caterpillar and butterfly, diving into a deeper layer to explore how we humans have lived with the perspective of the caterpillar for enough time. We are in a moment where we know we are being called to shift from that field of limitation, and change into the butterflies we have always been.
You have done a brilliant job at existing and being a caterpillar, but now you can choose to embody the butterfly, to recognize that you are indeed a butterfly and always have been — and beloved you already know it’s time to fly.

As it’s I thought a good moment to contemplate what’s unfolded in the year so far using a poem I wrote on the new year...What seeds have you planted and what packs have you dropped?
~2022~
Pregnant with myself
The ground was not ready before this
I held back
Waited, without understanding, though part of me knew
I would soon be able to plant these seeds on more fertile ground
Not yet in sight
But over the next hill
beyond that horizon line just come into view
My feet take me there
Instincts sharpening, I drop the packs I carry
They fall with a thud
And I don’t look back because I know I will not need these again
Every cell in my body activated, lightening, igniting as I am propelled forward to the birthing ground
Where we became one
(poetry & art Christine Pensa)
Sun show-er
Observers as the Sun shines through the false rain,
a mirror
Reflecting more of ourselves,
beginning to shine through the false self
As the Sun shower’s gathering puddles
deepen to reflect the light
Humanity is gathering, deepening,
to reflect back to each other
Our radiance
The truth of our light
The wonder of knowing
we are both,
Rain and Sun show-ers
(art & poetry Christine Pensa)

Drop
We have arrived at the moment of reunion
Where drop and ocean recognize they are one
Washing away the terrorism of separation with
Waves of purity and

The persistence of love
A yellow flower will always break through the pavement
A tiny Sun growing
Because that is it’s nature
Such is the persistence of your purity
It has always been so

A poem for
I Choose Untamed
Feet on the Earth
Connected to my knowing
I now choose untamed,
I reclaim
All the places I gave my power away,
I free myself from
All the places I decided it was easier to give a small piece of my sovereignty away rather than stand in my truth,
I burn away
All the times I agreed to go along with what wasn’t me—because I thought I would be safer—because I didn’t want to make waves,
I cleanse
Anyplace, and everyplace I put that wild knowing part of myself away
I Choose Untamed because that part of me—that part of YOU—is who I Am and I hear her melody
She sings to us through the Earth, the Elements, the Plant Kingdom, and in the Sacred Waters of our blood
NOW is the time to open our ears to the original divine song that we are,
Because to say no is also to say yes to ourselves,
and our true untamed song of light in this world
To Choose Untamed is to come home,
back into embodiment of our Creator state of BE-ing,
Pure Love
So it is,
and so we stand untamed
(art & poetry Christine Pensa)

Cut both ways
All this time
I never realized
The knife I had turned on myself
cut from both ends
And drew blood from you
____
So used to my own pain
it was only when I saw yours
that I was able to lay down this weapon
Your truth spoken is all it took to
set us free

The Fog is Lifting
So many faces in the stone
Two come forward on a foggy morning
To witness this moment
With gentle, rock solid presence,
We understand your confusion,
And you are also not confused
Your awareness lifts just as the Sun clears the fog
You see the Truth that always was
And the story that is not you
Every moment there is a gift standing solid and still
Emerging out of the confusion to meet you exactly where you are
Holding a mirror to your light so that you will finally see
How your fractal reflects all that ever is
Back to the ever expanding all that is
Gift giver receiver one joyful union of creator expression
Celebrated in song across the universe
The fog is blown away by one of your sovereign breaths beloved
