Hanging with the Merry Ones At Saltspring!

An intense weekend - intense in heat, sunlight, full  moon, sunrise mornings, late night "beauty circle" - everything felt heightened, reflective and intensified. Being on Mt. Maxwell at dawn was like standing at the cusp between different dimensions -I felt disoriented as if looking at the world through a screen. All my senses felt activated - my eyes, my hearing and smell. The world suddently felt like it was extending its heart towards us.  As I watched the sky turn red and pink, then intensify to gold, I wondered if I was dreaming or awake. Did it even matter? Everthing had a silent, slow and mythical quality to it - I wondered if this experience was directing me to wake up and view the world from a new perspective. Under the heat of the day, my body and brain dialed down, and all I could do was sit and observe. No energy to bustle around -silence was my voice. Shifting back to the world of language, we sat in the " beauty circle" and reflected our hearts back to each other. For a moment, I felt I could see the light  shine through each of us.  It was beautiful to witness everyone's truth, and better understand the power that "trusting the moment" can bring to our lives.
