DesertFlight

http://zmyztickleonion.blogspot.com/2007/05/desertflight.html



Flight by Lyn Knowlton
There is a butterfly of exquisite beauty, that listens to my voice.
Whether I sing or pray, it comes to me to listen.
She is a pretty one of silver and gray.
That when the sun shines through her wings it is a snowy white.
She steps onto the window ledge and takes a peek to see who is watching. (only me!)
She tilts her small head and lifts her wings and flies towards the light; towards the dawning of a new day.
I know she will come back another day,
to sit and listen as I say my prayers and I tell her to have a safe flight.
Now, today you have taken on a new life form.
You've shed your cocoon and have grown new wings.
For your final flight, towards the heavens on a starlet night.

This poem was written by our beautyFull and wonderFull Hospice volunteer on the occassion of my mother's transformation on 12292006. It was late evening and the snowstorm of the century had just begun here when her spirit was carried aloft. A couple of years ago, it snowed out in CorralLess. i went out and looked up at the falling snow. The vision of that snow was like nothing else i had ever experienced bee4. i could feel and sea the snow keep falling thru me, even after i had gone back inside. It was a feeling of absolute joy and ecstacy. This vision lingered on for hours, and i can still recall it even now when i close my eyes in memory of it. i think it was a vision of the way my mom's spirit felt as she finally left her cocoon uniting her spirit with mine and the universe.
Now on the occassion of Mother's Day, all the elements of this memorial to her have come together.
My mom's Peace Rose is blooming, as it usually does around Mother's Day. So, here's a photo of one of them along with my love and prayers that Peace Profound will rise up within our hearts and souls and engulf us all like the soft, sweet smelling petals of a Rose. Namasté, ShaRi ....and appropriately enough, it is also my friend Rose's birthday today! (05132007) The Red Square nebula led me to search 4 Ojos de Dios, (sea comments for lynx to the info on this nebula)
which ultimately led mee 2 this beautyFull object of which i am now the proud owner.
(sea http://ojos-de-dios.com/) The colours in it penetrated my soul like a desert sunset does and like the snowflake vision did, reminding mee of Carlos Casteneda's 'Crack Beetween the Worlds', a reference to the affects of the DreamTime of Twilight. When Lyn sent me this beautyFull poem, i scanned this silver gray butterfly pin that i had given to mom. Perfect isn't it?
As usual as i searched for Other images, i came across the photae of the CorraLess mountain, whose colours reminded mee of Jay's Desert Light Ojo.
And in that same search, i allsew came across this photae of a piece of material from a 'sheep' bag that i got in Ireland and subsequently gave to my friend Michelle because it was InSynk with a manuscript of hers that she had sew graciously let mee reed.

4 those of U that did not know my mom, she was a most excellent seamstress. i've used the snowflakes that i found 4 I Did Not Die-April 2007-allbeeit, the technique of their use is Holy different in DesertFlight. It has just occurred to me that the photo of the blue cloth and the snowflakes are RAther ORB-like in nature.








The orb is the energy being transferred from a source (i.e. powerlines, heat energy, batteries, people, etc) to the spirit so they can manifest. "This may not even be a conscious thing the spirit is doing, just a natural way they get their energy. This would explain why the orbs are round balls. According to the laws of Physics energy being transferring like that would assume is natural shape of a sphere."
"Orbs are believed (by many) to be ghosts in the form of balls of light. They are life forms that travel in groups and are believed to be the human soul or life force of those that once inhabited a physical body here on earth. It is said that they are those spirits that have willingly stayed behind because they feel bound to their previous life or previous location for whatever reason. Spirits are capable of continuing a full existence on the other side with their full mental and emotional facilities intact. Many believe that we have spirits assigned to watch over us, but you won't normally be detecting them unless they have a special purpose in making their presence known."

A Totally Unique Thought® For You...

InSynk
i just went to TUT's site & clicked on the free e-cards. Then i clicked on the Let the Universe Pick Your Card, & this is what i got. Gave me goose bumps!

...supremely happy, in a "place" of profound and unspeakable beauty. A place where all are bathed in showers of unconditional LOVE. I am home, and before long, you will be too, and we will be together always. But until we embrace again, let me also share this with you... so that you can better understand those things that may trouble you the most:
I now know that the love I feel here was at all times on earth too, and all one must do in order to feel it, is to KNOW it is there. This love that shines on you now is there to comfort and console, to heal and restore, and to bring laughter and joy. You have set lofty goals for yourself and the challenges you've chosen are admirable, but with this love and the faith that you can do all things, even these noble callings will one day soon be little more than baby steps in your march to gaining dominion over every time-space illusion. You will prevail. Your dreams, as well as the obstacles placed on your path, are gifts given you so that you might sooner see this Light that now surrounds you.
Of these gifts, my parting was one. You need not be sad, for even now I am with you - though you must close your eyes to see me. The illusion of death presses one on to greater understandings, for only when faced with darkness can you begin to properly seek the light. A light that will reveal that there can be no endings, goodbyes, or sadness, without beginnings, reunions, and happiness, and that you and I are unlimited Beings of Light adventuring throughout creation so that we may rediscover the magnificence of our own divinity. We are Gods rolling like thunder through the heavenly landscapes of eternity, where there are only miracles, there is only love, and Everything is holy.
Before you on earth there remain infinite possibilities for the most fulfilling time of your life, in a universe conspiring on your behalf. The world is indeed your oyster, though your "work" is not yet done, and you will be happiest if you cling not too tightly to the past. But if you must, take solace in your times of sorrow by knowing that I am always there, that I will be at your triumphant homecoming, and that I too have prepared a place for you in a blissful celebration that is only just beginning. I love you so. I am happy. God speed.

Subject: Simple words

These words are from my friend & mom's caregiver.

In a garden an angel stands
Silver wings flutter,
In gentle winds.
Butterflies around her fly,
Gently lifting her to the sky.
Her body is lavender clad,
A smile upon her face,
Shows she is glad.
Sunlight around her glows,
As love from her heart
To you flows.

From Ouida to Shari

I am free.
I have no more pain.
I am not afraid.
I see you there.
Do not despair.
You will hear me whisper.
Softly on the wind.
You will know my love,
Though now
I, am, in heaven above.
Mom

Shari these words came to me from your Mom this morning after we
talked. I hope they bring you some peace.

'Accidentally' came across this e-mail this week, and thus on this the one year anniversary of mOM's first full day in heaven, this image was born to honor these SimpleWords.
The Background:
The back of one of mOM's creations. She was an excellent seamstress.


A shot of the sky taken and developed this week.







My mOM was a Gemini.

One of the many flutterbyes that adorn my mOM's butterfly house.


Thus my quest for the GreenRose is complete.

Just came across this beautiful lady;

http://www.aniwilliams.com/

I had ordered her CD, Magdalene's Gift awhile back, but had forgotten about it until it 'accidentally' fell out of it's hiding place! Shades of Loreena McKennitt!
Jane, who cOMmunicated with mOM in SimpleWords, had just sent me an e-card with an angel playing harp music. Since I had been thinking I wanted to change the CD in my car, I guess mOM heard me, 'cause when the CD 'accidentally' fell out of it's hiding place, I decided that this was the CD 2 change 2. Well, guess what??, the first song was Ani's very angelic voice accOMpanied by her very angelic harp music!!
Jane's e-card contained this message:

As Our Angels stand in the Garden, They give to us Their music and Everlasting love. Even though snowflakes may be falling, their light shimmers brightly amongst the Butterflies and Flowers all around. Jane's mOM crossed over a couple of weeks bee4 my mOM did.

4 the snowflakes story.

When I first saw this flower photo, I thought of it as 'Madonna & Child'. The heavenly 'Madonna' is connected to the earthly 'Child' thru the stem of the FLOWer. Seems an appropriate iMAge for this season of birth, death, remembrance and new beeginnings. The vesiKA butterfly is based on a sketch I did 2day in my newly beegun Lunaria journal.

InSynk with the spiRAls of the vesiKA butterfly ~ Sent: Sat. 21 Apr 2007 9:27 am

The spiral that is created by each soul which joins the stars creates one more pathway to the state of heaven. One more stairway those that linger behind yet a while, can climb to join in the beauty that gives us the glow of understanding. We seem to have such little understanding but our souls have all understanding. Jane

Here's another InSynk 'accidental' find from the day after I was laid off and Cochiti Pueblo's Feast Day and Bastille Day ~ July 14, 2007 9:36:12 PM MDT
When the soul leaves the body, it is no longer under the burden and control of space and time. The soul is free; distance and separation hinder it no more. The dead are our nearest neighbors; they are all around us. Meister Eckhart was once asked, Where does the soul of a person go when the person dies? He said, no place. Where else would the soul be going? Where else is the eternal world? It can be nowhere other than here. We have falsely spatialized the eternal world. We have driven the eternal out into some kind of distant galaxy. Yet the eternal world does not seem to be a place but rather a different state of being. The soul of the person goes no place because there is no place else to go. This suggests that the dead are here with us, in the air that we are moving through all the time. The only difference between us and the dead is that they are now in invisible form. You cannot see them with the human eye. But you can sense the presence of those you love who have died. With the refinement of your soul you can sense them. You feel that they are near...

We forget that there is no such thing as empty space. All space is full of presence, particularly of those who are now in eternal, invisible form.

01062008 Found this today in a search for Dolphin symbology. Celtic Butterfly: Research reveals that the symbolic meaning of the butterfly is similar across most cultures and time. Invariably, this beautiful Celtic animal symbol represents transformation, inspiration, and rebirth. The concept of rebirth with the Celts is particularly of importance in terms of recycling of life – both in the spiritual and physical realms. Perhaps the bible and the Byrds extol the concept best: "To every season, turn, turn turn." (sea http://zmyztickleonion.blogspot.com/2007/05/ojosdecernunnos.html) This was an intimate concept with the Celts, and the butterfly – in its miraculous way symbolizes transformation and rebirth.

Transition is common in all nature, and the Celtic woman would be keenly aware of its presence. As such, butterflies would adorn birthing gowns, blankets, and bed sheets as a sign of smooth transition when welcoming new babies into the village fold.

Celtic Dolphin: Many a tale has been told about the magic of dolphins. Their appearance off the shores of Ireland urged the Celts to contemplate an unknown universe – the sea. Those who could not settle to simply cogitate – Celtic seafarers held the dolphin in high regard.

It became a symbol of friendship, intelligence, and good luck. Its status of luck was likely related to the fact that the dolphin was most commonly seen on the seas when the weather and waves were calm and fair. The Celts innately understood the intimate relationship between nature and beast. However, did the sight of the lucky dolphin cause fair weather, or was it the weather beckoned the dolphin out of its depths? Clearly, it's a question of which came first – the chicken or the egg. Regardless, the dolphin is viewed as quite lucky indeed – and this quality combined with it's cleverness and speed in the waters made the dolphin a highly respected animal sign among the Celts. http://www.whats-your-sign.com/Celtic-animals.html

LoveAllWays

http://zmyztickleonion.blogspot.com/2007/06/loveallways.html


My dear child
I can see your tears
Please know I help wipe them
And calm your fears

I know you think of me
As you drink your morning cup
And when you want to talk to me
You always look 'up'.

I'm closer than you think my love
I'm with you every day
I'm always in your heart
But am with you in other ways.

I am the birds who sing above
I'm the butterfly who dances for you
I am the stars up in the sky
I am the morning dew.

I am the rainbow after the storm
The one that makes you smile
I'm the one who wraps my arms around you
When you think things aren't worthwhile.

Perhaps you can feel me on those days
As I gently wrap around you,
I notice the smile come over your face
And am sure you feel me too.

I'm the breeze that cools you on a hot day
I'm the laughter you hear in the park
I'm the first star you see in the sky
Right when it starts to get dark.

I'm with you in so many ways my love
I hope you feel it too;
While death may have taken me from this earth,
It could never keep me from you.

Love always, Mom/Mother/Mum

This lovely poem was written by Kimi Tervydis, one of the many loving and wise women at griefnet.org, for all of us that were struggling with Mother's Day this year. " To all my friends who have lost their mom. I wrote this for you.
Much love to you all always, Kimi" 'the rainbow after the storm The one that makes you smile' was taken in Scotland by my friend Michelle, whom i hope to persuade to post its story sometime. (sea the comments) 'the butterfly who dances for you' is from my mom's memORRial-DesertFlight-May2007. 'the birds who sing above' are from TempleGaia, TheTreeWebO'Life-a work in progress-which when posted will come in as May 2007. 'the stars up in the sky' are from BlueTaRA-a work coming soon to a blog near you! 'the morning dew' is also a part of DesertFlight-May2007-the section of the 'sheep bag' that i got in Ireland, the land of some of my ancestors. 'While death may have taken me from this earth' was the line that inspired the use of this balloon heart sent to me by the lovely Ginny, another one of the grieftnet.org ladies, on the occasion of Virginia Tech. Perhaps she too will post its story one day. It seems that balloons have also beecome a popular commemoRAtion ritual amoungst many at griefnet.org 'the first star you see in the sky Right when it starts to get dark' is the ever so lovely double crystal lotus at the center of the balloon heart.
