Dear Brave Souls... It is not ours to perfect the world, but to mend what is within our reach.

I ask you to keep your heart of Love and Light shining,

as I wrote long ago, all souls are needed on deck, shining the gold of soul like a lantern in the darkest dark...

so that you can see what is and what is ahead, so that others can see too what is right now and what may lie ahead... all to assist toward good and preservation of Beauty and Life.

I CALL STRONG ON HOLY MOTHER TO HELP YOU

As you are called...

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

Do not be doused by anything of the overculture that is not Light, that is not Love.

Do not be tricked by Dark and Hatred and Greed dressed up in some parody of Light and Love.

Help what and who is helpless. Those who stand within your reach, and in those far away but in reach by petition and prayer for them.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

Encourage who has lost, temporarily, via terrible assault. injury and death of innocents, the hand of La Doña Esperanza: Lady Hope.

Let by whatever means open to you, the unknowing know of your loving presence by blessing them aloud or in peace-petition.

Let those who struggle know you know they are alive.

I gently wrap each of you in my rebozo rojo, my red shawl of Life, with all my love, all my light, even as we are on a cross-current swelling sea.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

watch over your heart so you do not try to give to the point of illness and depletion

nor under-give so you feel weakened and frail

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you,

that your mind be creative and forward looking, filled with workable ideas about all things that matter

that your mind wake from any overlong hibernation and come forward with the new babies, to teach, to show, to tend to, to grow

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

guard St. Body, your antenae, your receiving and transmission tower to the world, your holy temple with you as temple-keeper... that living breathing place of such miracles, that needs your care and cleansing, so as to remain a sanctified space to convene with Greater with clarity...

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

guard your Soul and your Child Spirit, from destructive duendes, vile thoughts, endless roil-rants that go nowhere except to deplete the radiant gifts you came with as Birthright.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

that you not be stolen away from True Self,

that you ever EVER remember who you are and why you came here...

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

Do not forget mis comadres y compadres, mis hijos y hijas, mis nietos y nietas:::

the rails of the ship are to hang onto,

the mast to lash ourselves to,

the fabric of the limber lifeboats and their able oars to keep us from drowning in too much of any thing,

the floating fibers of the sturdy life preservers, to keep our heads in the mist of turmoil

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

the brilliant flares in the night to signal other vessels of our whereabouts and supports for them and for us.

the huge hand-woven ropes to hold us above the water line, to keep us close to all the best we are made of...

These exist in even stronger means because We are. Together.

With Source without source, we are Together.

With Creator-- with whom we have made our agreements for our ways of being on earth now-- we are Together...

in order to flower, and guide and help and heal self and others...

all signed, sealed and delivered before we ever were ensouled... now to be lived out.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

Do not forget. You are a magnitude in your own right, in your tending and mending of so, so many things,

in your alertness and kindness, you are a one of a kind, utterly unique creative force.

Do not forget these truths, for there is your uncanny strength,

Do not forget these truths, for therein is your LIFE-GIVING aerial-view perspective of BOTH worlds,

Do not forget these truths, for there are your gentle and tender ways, not based on sight, but on vision,

Do not forget these truths
For there is your fierce love for so very very much that is in need of your special touch.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

to not Forget... but to FORGE. Only one letter different ....drop the T. Let it be a holy act... Forge. Ahead. ¡Andele y arriba!~

All my love, all, all, all...

Do Not Lose Heart,
We Were Made for These Times

Mis estimados queridos, My Esteemed Ones:
Do not lose heart.
We were made for these times.

I have heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world right now.

It is true, one has to have strong cojones and ovarios to withstand much of what passes for "good" in our culture today.

Abject disregard of what the soul finds most precious and irreplaceable and the corruption of principled ideals have become, in some large societal arenas, "the new normal," the grotesquerie of the week.

It is hard to say which one of the current egregious matters has rocked people's worlds and beliefs more. Ours is a time of almost daily jaw-dropping astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.

…You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking.

Yet ... I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose Hope.

Most particularly because, the fact is - we were made for these times.

Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement.

I cannot tell you often enough that we are definitely the leaders we have been waiting for, and that we have been raised, since childhood, for this time precisely.

…I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able crafts in the waters than there are right now across the world.

And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind.

I would like to take your hands for a moment and assure you that you are built well for these times.

Despite your stints of doubt, your frustrations in arighting all that needs change right now, or even feeling you have lost the map entirely, you are not without resource, you are not alone.

Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. In your deepest bones, you have always known this is so.

Even though your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a forest greater. That long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless.

… We have been in training for a dark time such as this, since the day we assented to come to Earth.

For many decades, worldwide, souls just like us have been felled and left for dead in so many ways over and over -- brought down by naiveté, by lack of love, by suddenly realizing one deadly thing or another, by not realizing something else soon enough, by being ambushed and assaulted by various cultural and personal shocks in the extreme.

We all have a heritage and history of being gutted, and yet remember this especially … we have also, of necessity, perfected the knack of resurrection.

Over and over again we have been the living proof that that which has been exiled, lost, or foundered - can be restored to life again.

This is as true and sturdy a prognosis for the destroyed worlds around us as it was for our own once mortally wounded selves.

…Though we are not invulnerable, our risibility supports us to laugh in the face of cynics who say "fat chance," and "management before mercy," and other evidences of complete absence of soul sense.

This, and our having been 'to Hell and back' on at least one momentous occasion, makes us seasoned vessels for certain. Even if you do not feel that you are, you are.

Even if your puny little ego wants to contest the enormity of your soul, the smaller self can never for long subordinate the larger Self.

In matters of death and rebirth, you have surpassed the benchmarks many times. Believe the evidence of any one of your past testings and trials.

Here it is: Are you still standing? The answer is, Yes! (And no adverbs like "barely" are allowed here). If you are still standing, ragged flags or no, you are able. Thus, you have passed the bar. And even raised it. You are seaworthy.

…In any dark time, there is a tendency to veer toward fainting over how much is wrong or unmended in the world.

Do not focus on that. Do not make yourself ill with overwhelm. There is a tendency too to fall into being weakened by perseverating on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is spending the wind without raising the sails.

We are needed, that is all we can know.

And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear.

Didn't you say you were a believer? Didn't you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater? Didn't you ask for grace?

Don't you remember that to be in grace means to submit to the Voice greater? You have all the resource you need to ride any wave, to surface from any trough.

…In the language of aviators and sailors, ours is to sail forward now, all balls out.

Understand the paradox: If you study the physics of a waterspout, you will see that the outer vortex whirls far more rapidly than the inner one. To calm the storm means to quiet the outer layer, to cause it, by whatever countervailing means, to swirl much less, to more evenly match the velocity of the inner, far less volatile core - till whatever has been lifted into such a vicious funnel falls back to Earth, lays down, is peaceable again.

One of the most important steps you can take to help calm the storm is to not allow yourself to be taken in a flurry of overwrought emotion or despair - thereby accidentally contributing to the swale and the swirl.

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.

Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely.

It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good.

What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts - adding, adding to, adding more, continuing.

We know that it does not take "everyone on Earth" to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.

…One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul.

Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times.

The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires ... causes proper matters to catch fire.

To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these - to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both -- are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity.

Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.

…There will always be times in the midst of "success right around the corner, but as yet still unseen" when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it; I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate.

The reason is this: In my uttermost bones I know something, as do you. It is that there can be no despair when you remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours: They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here.

In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But … that is not what great ships are built for.

…This comes with much love and prayer that you remember who you came from, and why you came to this beautiful, needful Earth.
