ceremony and then some....

my soul sister kathy and our friend cathy and i went on a venture up to the north shore of lake superior 2 weeks ago to do some earthwork.  we were guided to iona beach just north of gooseberry falls.  we were to assist those indigenous beings who were wishing to transcend their current dimension into a lighter space....there was a message of accceptance,forgiveness and honoring.  we were certain we each held a piece in our own being that would play a part in this work.

 our original date we were planning on going was june 4th....but were told, as we knew, time and space were irrelavent and a date after would be acceptable.  on this particular date (juen 4th) cathy was in lake tahoe with jim self http://www.masteringalchemy.com/ participating in a ceremony he was hosting.  we chose to go 10 days later.

i had a knowing that i would again meet up with my "poccahantis people" and they would assist me.

and...as affirmation i spotted this carved statue when we stopped for directions...i do not remember the artist...but the inscription and description wrote that it was a tribute to those native americans who once walked the land freely before....he planned on creating one for every state in the USA in their honor.

once at the beach we immediately were drawn to the "pink" side.  iona beach is unique as it is divided by a cliff....one side of the cliff has a "pink" beach and walls....and the other side is "black".

after a few moments we were guided by the seagulls as to where we were to perform ceremony.  they continued to fly in circles over an area and that is where we chose.
as i was walking to this area i spotted several small stacked rock formations....one that i have made in the past....and left behind for another to experience.
....another affirmation that this was the location.
we made a sacred medicine circle around these stones and added our own objects before beginning.
during ceremony we faced the lake...and i was guided to look farther left down the shore....i did....and there was another small stacked rock formation....i began walking towards it...and cathy intuitively walked to the right and we formed a triangle...all 3 of us noticing there was a large circle depression in the center of our triangle.  we continued to collectively work with our hearts open.
many images and emotions were seen and felt as we understood we were acting in service and love.
it was a beautiful ceremony.

afterwards, we sat on the beach and watched the sky fall and the fog roll in out of nowhere.  we each went our separte ways to BE.
i meandered over to the cliff where i tossed quartz crystals into the deep water crevice...where the water flows green.  then to the "black" side of the beach to meditate and revisit my native american people.

i decided to walk along the grass path thru the wooded area where i was blessed by beautiful old birch trees..
guardians of the path...
and
the many branches with moss and fungi growing on them.
mmmmmm.....i so love the world of moss and fungi....they are worlds withIN a world.

after exploring, being and enJOYing i found a wooden stairwell before walking back up to the car.
i love paths...even when they are wooden.
they lead to the most amazing places.
both
physical
and
etheric.
all
are
ONE.

lakefront park....





lakefront park in prior lake was my park hopping destination most of last week.  my son lucas and i enjoyed exploring one evening before sunset.   he strapped on his rollerblades (see earlier post ~ lucas) and we set off. 

there are so many trails to choose from.  the above photo led to a water fountain and fishing location.  a very serene place to fish and watch frogs swimming around in the weeds and algae.

mmmm....a floating boardwalk.....i wonder what is on the other side?

birch trees...the guardians of the trail and boardwalk entrance.  i looked for some bark that may have fallen off but there was none.  i love the bark of birch trees...i have always wanted to write a story on it.  i remember going on a grade school field trip up to mille lacs lake thinking the same thing.  hmmmmm.....

winding trails and paths are a beautiful thing ~**~*~*~

~*~*~ no lake is complete without ducks ~*~*~

this is where we watched the sun setting over the tree line....while resting on the floating boardwalk.
bless my child's heart for suggesting it.
he is a wonderful assistant....no wait...park hopping partner.

while my eyes are hunting and discovering treasures....lucas' are too.
he pointed this guy out.
we vowed to return....he wanted to investigate the swimming beach next time.

fishing....



a couple of weeks ago i brought my boys and 2 of their friends to my parent's home for fishing opener...
my dad has all the gear...

what is it about a tackle box?
so many options....
my dad is an excellent grandfather.
he is always very involved in the activites they participate in
while my boys are with him at his home.
he is one of them...
i love that about my dad...he has always retained his child~like nature.

my son lucas (on the right) with his friend...

lucas very rarely allows me to photograph his face....so i go for his shoes....his pride and joy.  anyone who knows my son, knows he has a slight obsession with shoes...he owns more pairs than i do.
he loves shoes.
bottom line.
i love him for it.

zach (right) and his friend.
they look rather annoyed....i assure you they are not.
deep fishing concentration....as in telepathically calling in the fish...

zach...you hold the fishing rod with style...

i am a little distracted by the clouds....

...and my mom's beautiful garden...
her anemonies are just lovely

and
my mother is the reigning geranium queen...she has always found and grown the most beautiful geraniums.

oh...fishing....

while i was away admiring my mom's flowers, zach caught a sunfish.
this was his response when i asked if he would hold up his catch for me to photograph.
there was none.
he smiled and ignored me.
yep...he is 16.

meanwhile...
lucas and his friend found another activity to participate in...

he is driving...
