I am sitting here in the shade, the hot sun is beating down, and a little breeze is keeping it so comfortable. I am surrounded by wildly singing birds! The variety of songbird life has been steadily increasing, and we have around us a blue bunting, nesting kingbirds, canary like fellows, tanagers, a meadowlark on the hill, and various wrens and sparrows. There is also a new dove that has arrived in White Sage, I have heard of it from other people but have not yet met this European dove for myself.
I am being allowed to witness the full force of nature's ability to recover, regenerate, and openly express the new blueprint-even here in the desert. Voluptuous greens (romaine, red oak leaf, spinach, arugula, parsley, and cilantro) have come up and are thriving, all from last year's seed-for I did not plant any at all this spring. Hen and chicks, delphinium, flax, tarragon, sweetgrass, and several others made it through the long cold winter and are now thriving, blooming, and expanding! For the first time since we arrived, there is a green carpet over much of the land, and bare soil is beginning to disappear.
My gratitude for this amazing journey is complete! And it feels so appropriate for the summer weather to arrive on the very last day of the 90 day journey. As Blew Thunder and I are already creating new ideas for next year's journey, and tomorrow will be our final ceremony with the group, I must admit that this is the FIRST TIME I have felt complete in the 90 day process exactly as it was completing! I am on my 4th time around this particular wheel, and this is the only time I felt that all parts of my being were in sync with the whole process. It is truly a different experience.
For those who have not felt complete, following the previous example of Earth Song, who is just now beginning the west, and will be referring back to the blog over the next two directions is a very powerful choice. There is a lot of potential for shift when we allow our process to unfold in its own time and space.
Others can have success by acknowledging completion to the level that it was for this time around. In a year or two, when they are ready to go deeper, they can choose to do it again and experience a whole different level of synchronicity. I have done it four times now, and each time it continues to bring a fresh, new perspective and new experience to my life.
I thank you all once again, for you are the healers. You who are willing to turn a different direction and descend into the dark, gunky depths of uncertainty to uncover more of who you are... and then create your life from this truth, you are giving a gift to yourselves that benefits our world. Gratitude to each of you. May all your dreams find fulfillment.
With Love,
Kachina
