I want to begin by sending belated happy Canada Day wishes to my fellow Canadians, and sweet Independence Day celebrations to my American friends. It’s a good thing to celebrate and have fun!
This July 1st brought a special gift for me. The day after celebrating and enjoying the fireworks, I was online and found myself viewing videos from Athens. Oh, the anger and destruction that’s happening there again. It breaks my heart and it inspired me to write. When I wrote this poem I thought about sharing it in Expressions of Change, but then reconsidered it because it was just silly and something meant only for me. Then today I decided to get out of my mind about it. So I am sharing it with you all now. There is more here than what immediately meets the eye…
MY CHILDREN IN CHANGE
I sat under a dark and serene sky
Waiting for the booming of the fireworks to begin
To explode with celebration
With remembrance of our unity
To remember our country’s birthday
O Canada
But as I sat, I had no idea
What was happening in another place
That land that still has my heart
Where the sea air tickles the nose
And bids the child within to play
Those ancient memories are now interrupted
For in this land, as I was sitting in my safety,
Their air was being violated
With another booming –
The hollow pop and hiss of tear gas bombs
Filling the lungs with smoke and terror
My Children!
What has happened to you?
My heart cried out
The tears welling up in my eyes
I must have gotten some of the tear gas myself
Why are you allowing such anger?
How is it that there is such chaos?
What of the ways of Old that I taught you?
Are they all forgotten?
My heart aches for what has been lost
I step away from this strange maternal connection
This emotion that arose so quickly
And allowed myself to take
A few…
Clearing…
Breaths…
This is a world different than mine
This is a world different from the past
This is a creation that the Grecian people
Are orchestrating now
With each broken window
With each trust shattered and cast aside
This is their world
Falling in on itself
So that another can be erected
Another of Choice
Like the tarot Tower
What has been accepted
Is now on trial by the People
For the People
This is a country awakening
There is no side right
No side wrong
And I am proud that they are
Forging change
I suppose if these were my children
I would honour their efforts
I would honour their resolve
I would honour their choices
And I would allow them to find their way
From the sacred mounts and temples
To the beaches, volcanoes, islands
This Land is restructuring
Its heart is opening
To release old scars
To heal
To allow the birth of new life
My blessing for this precious
Land of Greece
Is a new dominion
A Day to celebrate Peace and Unity
Where each Greek man, woman and child
Can look into the eyes of friend, kin and stranger alike
And know that they are Sovereign
My Children
It’s not only we who call ourselves Lightworkers or Shaumbra, or those who are awakening, that are welcoming change in our lives. And it isn’t just those yet unaware of their conscious evolution. This change is happening in the very heart of the countries we all call home. And over the past number of months we have witnessed this shift like never before in our current history. I see this as very potent evidence of the shift we are each a part of. And to see it on a relatively grand scale, it causes one to see it on a micro level as well.
What I mean is that if such shifts are occurring around us, then what monumental shifts are happening within? I don’t believe I’m alone in saying that there are days, or even months, when we may feel like we’ve hit a wall and can’t get past it. We’ve been booting it along at almost lightning speed it seems, and then suddenly we’re at a standstill. The momentum of our activity (ie. releasing old angers and fears, welcoming in new energy, loving ourselves without judgment, etc.) is urging us on, to continue moving at the same pace, in the same direction. But there is no more movement, so it seems, and we are disoriented in a way. And this opens the door to doubt, fear, anger, distrust, you name it to waltz back in and play a bit more havoc with our minds.
Truly we have not stopped. We have not ceased the movement altogether. But perhaps we aren’t looking at the right map. Perhaps there’s been a change (surprise) and the movement is on a new and different level. In fact, the new map is interactive, changing with every new choice we make. It’s good to remind ourselves often that All is well in all of Creation. Adamus doesn’t throw those words around lightly. It’s all occurring in accordance to how we’re working it out. As a collective and as individuals. It’s all perfect.
I listened to the last message from The Group today (available now at http://www.youtube.com/user/SteveRother#p/a/u/2/PsXBzdoCvKY) and found it quite timely for me. As more energy and Light are coming in at an ever increasing manner, we can feel quite overwhelmed. I can strongly attest to that! I was just talking today with a woman in a metaphysical store about how the energies are very intense and it is more difficult to ground it within us. Well, it really isn’t that difficult. It’s just one of those new landmarks on the new map. The Group reminds us that the energies coming in now require immediate grounding.
We usually sit on new thoughts and feelings, see how they mix together and then at some time down the road we will act on them – either throwing them out or using them. This is a very mental procedure, and there is no more room for that mentality where we are going. That’s why it’s important to ‘get out of the mind’ and just do it. Immediately take action with the ideas we get, the a-ha’s that come, the feelings we sense. There’s no time to ponder away or wait for all the ducks to line up, as they say. We’re creating what happens next, and we’ve done a very quick and full job. So really, it’s our fault that things are speeding up. J Seriously, the key to grounding this Light is to take action NOW.
If you have that book in your head and your fingers are itching to start writing, DON’T WAIT. If you see colors in your heart and long to get out the paints, DON’T HESITATE. Is there a passion inside of you to do something, anything? Then do it! Don’t wait for permission. You are the only one that can offer that release. And in doing so, you are grounding the new energies that are here.
So back to this poem about my beloved Greece, I was moved to write. I followed through. And then I kept it hidden on my computer. That was yesterday. And wouldn’t you know it, I woke up with a migraine and stiffness and nausea this morning. Any connection? I’d say there is. For me, this is one clue that I’m not grounding the energies through my being, and that includes my body. This isn’t a mistake, nor is it a punishment. It’s an experience. But now that I understand the possible connection, I can use such experiences to help me remember to ground the new thoughts, ideas and feelings I get – Light grounding.
And I’ll pass on this reminder to you also. When you feel something not quite right within you, take a quick conscious scan of your feelings and inspirations. Are you being true to them? Are you speaking your heart? Are you living your passion? Always be in the moment. Believe in your Self.
Blessings!
Thanks Jody, In appreciation for your sharing and hearfelt poetry. I could feel your heart and presence in each line.
