Today was a day on water, we kayaked for the first time, from Warren to Thomaston, and had lunch with Sandra, a member of the family, and she drove us back. I love to kayak and just float on the water, even though I can navigate more vigorous waters.
3/4ths of this trip was just floating, starting at high tide 9:15, and arriving at 12:15, before the 2:30 low tide. Water seed of Water is about diplomacy in all levels of life. The female energy is the universal solvent and the energy of cooperation. It is about allowing the flow and allowing problems to be solved by being dissolved.
There is an absolution in this gentle way of resolution, this is a time of meditation, relaxation, and a deep allowing of motion to just run through us, like a river.
The 40th piece of the Kuan Yin Oracle of Compasssion, which we have made into a book, and it is available to read and see fully online is: "Take into yourself the deep mystery of who you are, and savor the needs you have."-- Water Runs Through You.
For me this is a time I can enter into the joy of connections with people, nature, and the fairy realm of awareness. On the river today we saw cormorants, blue heron, a pair of Golden Eagles, osprey, kingfishers, and beaver. We floated, we drew, we ate, we photographed, and we deeply relaxed, and had many 11evensies. I have such a depth of connection with the Fay world here, and have seen more of the otherworldly visionings, than I have in a long time. It is as if they all live in these watery reflections of sweet homes and fairy worlds, as we float by and look within.
Diplomacy-- dip- low enough- to see the world of Fay.
Water seed of water, a crescent boat of imagination, allowing disbelief to dissolve and fade. Yesterday, the Solstice, was a day of being on the water preparing for today. Robert & I feel like Ratty and Mole, from "Wind in the Willows".
I feel cradled & rocked by your words today. This phase of water seed of water as you have expressed it reminds me that there are luscious, soothing, healing, peaceful times woven through every part of our lives when we look for it and allow it. Thank you for the deep, deep breath your words just helped me take and the serenity that came with it. I think I'm going to have very sweet dreams tonight...:) Can't wait to see you guys tomorrow for our studio evening of dinner & conversation!
ReplyDeleteI like how you wrote this is present tense. Reading that this has helped you take a deep breath, has helped me take one too.
ReplyDeleteIt is so fun combining our art with these words. I love these days of water.
We're taking the boys kayaking Friday, I cannot wait to see their faces, as they become water-babies.
Looking forward to seeing you guys tonight! Thank you so much, Suzanne, for sharing so deeply with me your feelings in words, they are a weaving.
Watching your boats come around the bend from under the bridge yesterday was such an excitement of completion, that all had been entered into and you had reach your destination with complete relaxation and joy. You traversed an unknown path with such enthusiasm! Once more you have paved a path for others to venture into with confidence. You did "dip low enough to see the Fay world" and it responded to you with delight. You are the diplomats between our selves and our Fay relations.
ReplyDeleteWhat words of grace, it was So fun seeing your face as we paddled up. We were quite proud of ourselves. :-)
ReplyDeleteI know, we are just like two little kids.
Thank you so much for loving the worlds we love. It's a joy to be fairy diplomats.
Getting ready to meditate between those worlds, and hope to find the ingredients of our puppet show Saturday. Be thinking of this tonight at dinner. We'll watch the river and muse on the coming of fairies together.
