Always Here

Grandmother Goat_5.8.10I meet myself again
all the times we (all my ‘I’s)
have walked these paths,

tramp­ing down the vel­vety dust of ages.
My fif­teen years here
is mocked
by fif­teen mil­lion years of rock.

The trees laugh
and dig deeper for water.

The wind, as ephemeral as I am,
rushes through dis­tant peaks,
and brushes closer pines,
and finally whis­pers past my cheek.

Pip’ Pip’ Pip’
one lone bird
flies between the pines.

All the ‘me’s that have ever been here
are cross­ing paths with me-​​now,
and those to come.
The hills are laced thick with my footsteps.

My tears and laugh­ter,
the piney, acrid smell of my camp­fires,
the shin­ing grasses and sparkling stars,
the rain, the creeks,
the rocks and moun­tains,
flow­ers, songs, hum­ming­birds,
bees and breezes,
sur­round me now.

We are always here
some part of all those ‘me’s
always here.

This poem is my favorite, even still.  It is about my favorite place on the planet, which I hope to see in about a month, after not hav­ing seen it for over ten years.

I’ll post pic­tures as they become available.

[Update 5.28.10 — well it took me 8 months, and it had been 13 years, but I made it!

Oh!  Joy!  As when the world was new! ]

For Nicole and her Kitty Girl who died today

BonnyDoon_to_Brigadoon (c)Denise Schultz 2010I am so sorry Kitty Girl,
that you had to die,
so young, so sud­denly
and I’m so grate­ful that I got to spend your dying moments with you
and some more time as you were in spirit while we said good­bye
to your still so beau­ti­ful
and still warm body.

Your beauty was mag­nif­i­cent,
so present,
even in death.

And Nicole was so present,
alive to her grief and her love for you,
deny­ing noth­ing, crush­ing noth­ing,
so alive to the whole­ness of love
even in the midst of los­ing you.

She will be such a good nurse,
such a good woman, a cat mother and mother
She is such a good per­son right now, already.

She is so open to her core
to what is real and true
to love and life
and death.

Her ques­tions about spir­i­tu­al­ity,
her doubts,
all are part of the grow­ing whorl of leaves
that leads out from her cen­ter,
Hon­est doubts.

But she heard you purring
after you were gone,
and I said, “That’s real.“
That’s not just a mem­ory.
That is your Kitty Girl com­ing to you
to tell you she is alright now,
and she loves you, loves you, loves you,
as you love her.

Thank you so much,
for the chance to be with you both today,
to be blessed by your purity of spirit,
and the love in your heart,
in your mind, in your being.
Thank you.

Recently some­one asked about doing a Spir­i­tual Insight Aware­ness ses­sion with me.  Answer­ing her inquiry clar­i­fied some things for me too, about what I have learned and how I work. Work­ing with a prac­ti­tioner who can point out where our infor­ma­tion is com­ing from and ways in which we are already there can help you open up to improv­ing by grace instead of just effort!

Fred BarnardOnce I worked with a woman whose dog was hav­ing a chi­ro­prac­tic session. After one par­tic­u­lar adjust­ment, the dog became very thirsty.  I asked the chi­ro­prac­tor to let the dog get a drink (and she drank a whole bowl of water right away). When I said that, the client was amazed; she said, “I heard that!  I heard her say that she was thirsty.  But it was a very soft voice.”  In that instant, she had her cal­i­bra­tion to rec­og­nize that she was clearly receiv­ing ani­mal com­mu­ni­ca­tion from her dog.  She also could rec­og­nize that the inner voice of her Divine guid­ance and con­nec­tion with her Higher Self were equally soft.  Know­ing exactly what to look for made it eas­ier for her.

Grow­ing beyond where we are right now is not just about effort, it is about aware­ness.
. . . 
We can move from a lot of doing into just being — and sud­denly all those deeply famil­iar things that we already know have a way to bob to the sur­face, cre­at­ing the trans­for­ma­tion we have wanted all along.” 

I find that things are shift­ing so fast and so deeply now that it helps peo­ple to do a ses­sion sooner, because the ses­sion is giv­ing you info that cal­i­brates you to hear­ing your own inner guid­ance more quickly, clearly, and often.  It is eas­ier if the guid­ance you are consciously/​subconsciously get­ting and the sit­u­a­tion are fresher, not stale.  I see three stages:

  • The first stage was like dri­ving with a blind­fold on (in pre­vi­ous times, when our indi­vid­ual guid­ance was not as clear or as ‘loud’ as it is now).  If we hit the curb or another car (i.e. an issue) we noticed.  It was just a bumpy ride.   
  • In the sec­ond stage it becomes like dri­ving with our eyes closed and the nav­i­ga­tor is say­ing ‘a lit­tle to the left, a lit­tle to the right’.  We didn’t instantly know the insight or how to han­dle the sit­u­a­tion, but feel­ing what the nav­i­ga­tor noticed, things began to make more sense. 
  • The third stage is the point where it imme­di­ately clicks in and makes sense, and sud­denly you notice you are dri­ving with your eyes open and you are clearly com­mu­ni­cat­ing with your inner navigator!
My job is to help you hear and rec­og­nize your own nav­i­ga­tor.  The voice of your Higher Self gets more clear, and you feel your con­nec­tion with the Divine becomes stronger.  So many peo­ple are much more intu­itive than they know, they just need to be cal­i­brated.
