The shimmering of a rising dawn spreads out
and over the fields in this snowy mountain valley,
and as the light of day emerges anew, I step down
and out of bed, finding my feet; there's a flight
of stairs I must descend, and to remain
in that foggy post-dream world is peril without
intentional grounding, focusing on my roots;
Increasing light floods planet Earth in these times,
as she cruises through the photon belt every
25,000 years, signaling radical change to a planet
in peril; humans have harnessed their amazing
creativity into too many destructive channels
to the point where we have imperiled all of life
on this big blue orb, and we must awaken or perish
in what scientists term The Sixth Holocene Extinction,
and there is no other choice, wake up or lose that which
generations have worked through in our human
evolution thus far, and we are, indeed, awakening;
While some of us feel these energy surges acutely,
the need to remain grounded becomes requisite, feet
on the earth, roots intertwined with all else fastened
to her surface, head consciously in sync with the body,
heart connected to all we encounter, be it red wing
blackbird or a troubled human soul, where love
is the salve needed to help rebalance, restore
and harmonize, riveting dissonance back to harmony,
beauty, serenity and peace, which our loving hearts
most certainly know and remember.

We certainly need prayer & supplication, as we roll towards extinction. 💓🤗🙋♂️
Thanks, Ashley. My hope is that we do not roll toward our extinction, but rather rise like the Phoenix from the ashes. It may not look like this at times, but it will only take a critical mass rather than every single person on earth for things to shift in a significant way. That is what I am seriously praying for! Blessings, dear one. 💕
Blessings to you, dear Bela & I’m sorry I still sound so negative! I have over this year be meditating along with others (TM) & during December-January there will be a great gathering (10,000) in India to meditate for world peace. Whilst I may be wavering, I hope & pray that their steady efforts help the Phoenix to rise. 💓🙋♂️
No problem! We understandably become negative from time to time in these rapidly changing times. I am glad you are a meditator, and that you are doing a group meditation! So incredibly powerful! 😍
I found this a very thought provoking verse.
Like every aspect in the Universe has two sides to it , so does the humanity and its much vaunted intelligence. With every aspect of human progress has come new possibilities of its destruction. My sense is that intelligence of any kind, in the Universe carries with it the seeds of its demise.To me therefore the sixth mass extinction on this planet is a certainty.
Can the extinction be delayed or stopped? Delayed yes, but not stopped. Human life is insignificant in the larger scheme of things.

Shakti, I’m always happy when I see your comments or posts. I think we are surfing the same wave, so to speak, and glad you are who you are. So wise, this theory of the Universe carrying the seeds of demise as counterpoint to the hubris of humans. But. I am a closet optimist, and hope humanity can yet redeem itself. Deep down though, I do wonder if our extinction is part of some Divine Plan, given our actions through the millenia. We seem to have come so far, and yet … I guess time will tell – but at the same time, if we cave into apathy, it will only hasten our species’ end. Blessings, dear man.
That connection seems so broken now. No one pays attention to where they are, only to the phone in front of their nose. That’s a big part of the problem I think. You can’t take care of a world you refuse to acknowledge. (K)
Right you are, Kerfe. There are many who refuse to acknowledge … so much that needs it, these days. But each day I search for (and find) redeeming stories of the most kind and honorable people doing good work. That is what I am focusing on … hoping for ‘more of that!’ Be well, dear one.🌺🌈
Yes, we have to search for them these days, but they are there.
Indeed Bela, radical change is on the horizon.. And we are most certainly heading towards inevitable change…
How we each perceive that change is via our choosing… Many now already seeing deeper their ‘Roots’ as we navigate these surges of incoming energies..
Keep Warm as those colder shorter days descend upon us Bela… and lovely to remember the warmth and vibrancy of Hawaii …. All stepping stones to the place we now need to anchor our roots…
Much love my friend xx <3 xx
And love back, dear one. Keep warm there in the damp as well! And yes, remembering Hawaii – we actually might be returning there. So strongly guided here, so we came. But feel as though we did what we were meant to do. If we return to HI, we will not be leaving again. So time will tell. Meanwhile, hunkering down for winter! Blessings to you and Bernard, and all your loved ones. 💕
You will settle where your heart guides you to be Bela… I know you follow your inner guidance and your steps will be guided .
Thank you dear Bela… Sending you lots of love back to you both from the both of us xx <3 xx
Thank you, my friend. 🙏💜
