Vision Quest...

 my heart has been opened wider

  past pains released 

and the light brought in deep

in this new awakened-ness

my heart tells me to seek the answers

of who I am

 to ask what is my name

and to find out

what is my purpose

here and now

in this new place of awarness

in this new place of healing and wholeness

who am I....

 

  Vision Quest

me and my trusted companion heading out in the early morn

the simple beauty of Mother Earth's Spring
burst all around 
speaking of 
new life
new beginnings
new seasons 
the old has past away
the new has come
so it is within me...

the gift of sacrifice lay before me
right as I started my quest
it was the feathers I first saw
then I saw him
laying to the side
a fresh kill from the night before
a life given for another
his sacrifice spoke deeply to me

 he spoke to me about the 
life, death, life cycle 
we all live in
he spoke to me about death 
that leads to new life.
 he spoke to me about sacrifice 
and letting go 
he showed me that by allowing 
these things to happen, 
by going through the grief and pain 
of sacrifice 
I can and will reap 
the beautiful treasures that lay waiting beyond.....

his feathers
and his one whole wing
I salvaged
singing prayers as I harvested his gifts
giving gratitude
for such a powerful encounter
right at the start of my quest
I felt the love and guidance
from The Creator
the Divine message given
I was moved to tears 

I took his remains 
and buried them off to the side
of the trail
marking it with a branch
"find your way home winged friend
find your way home"

his final resting place

....and on we traveled

fallen soldiers

this stinky guy specifically asked to be photographed

every living thing has a message to bring
robin, humming bird, eagle and bumble bee
whispering stories and messages to me

taking some time to write things down

at the right time
at the right place
marked by eagle flying over head
I stopped to be
to sit
to sink into the life
that was moving all around me
to listen to the earth
to listen to the sky
to hear the words
the divine words
from God
my heart longed to hear...

the answers come
the words wrapped in love
and sweet divinity
songs on the wind
words on the dirt
clear and pure

there is a beautiful vulnerability 
in this place
a vulnerability that gives me strength
I feel exposed and naked in truth
divine truth
which fills me up
makes me whole

I feel my bones strong and sure
warm blood courses through my veins
blood that is alive and healthy
tingling with the knowledge given

my feet are sure
my eyes are sharp
I know which path is mine...
and I take it
I know it
I embrace it

I am a Healer
I use many different mediums
given to me from Mother Earth
to bring Divine healing 
to myself and others
I go where I am guided
I say what I am given
I act as I am shown
*
My hearts desire is 
that ALL will feel
the Divine Love of The Creator 
The Source of all things
who loves us more then can be
humanly understood...
I pray
that all will recognize 
the touch
the voice
and
the gifts given
by this Love
and that all will come to see
their own beautiful divinity
within.

I am
Medicine Woman...
I have come to bring healing
to those who seek it.

Love and Light
