Dear Friends and Community,
I can only hope that you are finding the ground under your feet to dig into, and your heart expanding to do the work needed at this time. I am hoping that each of us are finding our footing to realize that as much as this feels like politics, it is so much more. It is an existential crisis that will require energized beings to be warriors of a spiritual kind. We will meet this time with Love…and trust me I will explain.
I paint some days just to paint. Often I have no idea what is going to happen with the paint or the book I paint in. Such is what I painted last week, and today I realized who she is and why I love her, and how she speaks to me and has been speaking to me for just about all of my life…and probably to some of you as well, and yes, trust me I will explain her too!
There is a lot that I will offer in this email. And for those here that keep wondering what we can do to meet the ugly, vile and extreme cruelty of this hoping to be dictatorship, I am here to say, we can do plenty! Stay focused, alert, courageous, loving in all our efforts. We can not stand down…we must rebel…be rebellious. Give this ugliness not your fear, but your courageous effort to meet its harm with good, no matter how small the good. There are many millions of us wanting to do good. It adds up! This will require more than our anger…and we are for sure angry. But that anger must find its way to creativity…we will have to be creative. That, by and large will be a our signature, just as must as destruction is theirs.
What we cannot do is nothing. We cannot imagine this will just pass with time without global planetary impact. We have to meet this moment with things that do not fail, but for sure have been forgotten, and primarily, sadly, we have forgotten how to love…LOVE. And we have imagined foolishly, that we can each have our own version of what is true. And that is where the Woman whose face is being caressed by the Moon comes in, as well as Truth and as well as LOVE.
I will put down the the schedule for Heart Space with any announcements, and continue with my realizations down the page.

Stay Close to What Never Fails…
She is the Goddess…one of many who offered puzzles with words, truth in paradox, sentences with instructions. A Muse, an Oracle, an early thread of revealed truth to grab hold of…because that is how it was always going to be revealed. And yet in the 5th century BCE, she already knew we, the human race, was on a trajectory to pay her no mind. The message and instruction to those hearing her was not to lose personal ground in search of others to hear, pay attention, or listen, but find your depth and keep going deeper. It was already too late. Her face says it all! So where are we now?
We are totally lost. What was then so close, by the time of Aristotle, Socrates and the rest were on the scene, it was moving away, it was being watered down, denied and disputed and had been turned into the acceptable version and the opposite of philosophy…which at one time meant and was loved as “the love of wisdom and truth”. But Existence has always been kind towards us. There have been over time, visible beings who made their efforts, in agreement with the Oracles, as envoys, surrogates, and messengers to said Existence…call it what you want…God, Source, The Great Mystery…Love… the many Buddha’s and Prophets, Jesus, Mystics, Shamans, Gurus, Mothers, Maidens and Crones, offering truth the same way the Oracles did, but in the flesh, and in a particular way that most people have a problem with. Offering instructions on how to embrace truth to find not so much its depth or that of the the unknown but ours. And in finding ours we find it all. And those who found their depth were
minimized, their words diminished, called mad, insane, called sorcerers, and magicians, and witches…and they were killed, in many ugly ways. People have always lived in fear of truth. No different now. Our problem is that we don’t even imagine there is such a thing.
Truth is a constant…we just need to know what it is. And there too, Existence…has been so good to us and has made it so there would be some what of an easy way to distinguish with what we all can experience between love and hate, and to realize the fear in those who resist love. We can know where it is and where it is not.
There is a Japanese statue of the Buddha that in one hand is an oil lamp, that is said to represent the inner light where our love originates …and you are to keep this lamp lit at all time…24 hrs a day…to be aware of the light within. And in the other hand the Buddha holds a sword. So this love that the Buddha holds within is no timid, walk all of over me, kind of love. This love is fearless, and can and will stand up in the name of love in behalf of the good that must be safe guarded and defended for every being on this planet. Out of love everything is right. Love is a truth. Our rebellion is for love to be realized. For justice to be served. For everyone’s freedoms to be respected. For humanity to be preserved. So that inner light must be a source for our anger to be transformed and transcended. Love is the magic we possess. We all have it. Sadly it is far too ignored.
This has to be an enlightened rebellion. But again…it carries a sword, and we have to know that we are also warriors. We will be creative in our efforts to help others and to defeat this ugly hell bent destruction of goodness. Our love for humanity must be our focus rather than our disdain and disgust for their intolerance and fear of true things. We have to have compassion for the future, because we just might not have it to look forward to. Our ideal is to create something new. We cannot just get rid of this system of greed and power that has brought so much suffering to far too many. Something new must be ready to take its place.
That new is an authentic human society that carries the light of peace like an eternal torch, it reflects the silence and ceremony of all peoples, and rebels against all injustice and all inhumanity. It carries a warriors sword to cut through the lies that have been built up over time, leaving a veneer so thick that has contaminated one culture after another, so that each culture has added its poison and ugliness so that we have no idea of what the beauty of truth really is, or what is does, or how it feels, or how it works, or what it looks like underneath all those layers of forgetfulness. Like democracy this new society must nurture its humanity first and foremost to make all its creativity transformative so it can serve all people equally.
Let’s please be strong, in the face of this extreme inferiority. These are bullies disturbed by their own image in the mirror. They are disturbed and fearful of the hint of truth no matter what form it takes. They are fearful of real men. Fearful of the strength of women. Fearful of books and education that don’t tell lies. Fearful of any opposition. Fearful of anyone who stands in their truth. And all that they fear must be hurt, damaged, ridiculed, and diminished. They are destroyers who do damage and we are those who want to heal. Remember that.
This will take time so be patient. Take care of yourself and be sure to take time to enjoy life and the people who are near and dear to you. We need to be cautious about how to keep ourselves protected…I mean in practical ways…as we are not safe with these people in charge. Know what is going on but do not consume the news as a steady diet. We want o be alert to what we can do so I will offer some suggestions on how you can do that. We are all trying to get a good foothold on what to do next.
Everyone’s effort will not look the same. Remember it is about being creative. There are so many people working the news angles, the political response angles, social response angles, wellness and health angles, and the spiritual angles. We will need to find our place and balance from them all. Be in community and co-create together. We have slept too long and pressed the snooze button far too many times…we really now must wake up to do what only we each can do. Every light is needed.
There areeconomic blackouts (https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/03/05/victorias-secret-tweaks-dei-language-to-inclusion-and-belonging-here-are-all-the-companies-rolling-back-dei-programs/) that have already started, and some that will be coming up, like Amazon on the 7th for a week. A Target blackout began on Wednesday and will last for 40 days. Please click the link to see the list of companies that are aligned with this administration to be good foot soldiers. There are many ways we can make an impact, and to not support what supports harmful actions towards others is a good place to start.
Locally, in your district, there is more than likely, someone doing good work to keep you apprised of all of this administration actions and the calls to action we can take.
Try to find out who that is in your district. Here is such an email list you can request to get on:

Project Hope is an organization to support the people of Ukraine. At this time it is easier for me to put my money there rather than any place else right now.
As a last thing…there is Hafiz:
Nothing Will Remain
“At the feast of the sultan
every voice sang out a story;
pass around the the wine,
for glory of the king will not remain.
O man of riches, show kindness
to the unfortunate pauper
for the mine of gold and source
of money will not remain.
It is written in gold
on this topaz veranda;
all others except for those
with kind hearts, will not remain.
O Hafiz, do not abandon hope
for favor from the beloved,
for the signs of oppression and
cruelty will not remain”.
And another last thing… a sticker given to me by my daughter…
“LOVE IS OUR ONLY MASTER”
Should that be true, we will find a warriors victory, where they would rather us squirm in fear.
And really this is last. Reading Reality by Peter Kingsley, has answered many questions I never imagined could be answered. It has given me a point of reference as to when we made the decision to lose our way. It was far to long ago, yet alive within our most ancient ancestors who cared. It has allowed me to find another place to tie a knot in the thread of truth. It must all line up and find itself in perfect harmony with the Goddess. There are many places to purchase the book other than Amazon if you so a search. Many used copies as well. I don’t ever imagine a person of curiosity would ever be disappointed in reading this book.
Peace and blessings dear friends,
