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.

crosby farm park hopping.....

deep, deep, deep into the forest my friends rose (right), kathy (left) and i went....
on a nature walk and park hopping experience.
the forest is lush and dreamy and magical and i really just wanted to lay down in the middle of it and let mother earth hug my lovely~self.
but we kept walking ~~~~>
until we reached the river....the mississippi river to be exact.
my eye wandered ~~~>~>>~~>
i love the rocks pressed in the sand....
the mix of shapes, colors and sizes.
mmmm.....and the sand in itself is dreamy.

we stayed for 2 hours down by the river.
catching up with eachother
enjoying the warmth of the sun,
acknowleging
how grateful we each were
to be our true selves
no illusions...
and
laughing
and
just
being.
no worries..
no cares...
we just
were.
until we WERE
hungry
and had to go eat thai food ~*~*~~

zach....

my son zach is 16 now.

on memorial day i drove him and his brother to my parent's home on the lake.

for a little water fun.
ummm.....when did he grow up?
i mean REALLY grow up.
he looks like a young man.

so anyway....zach thoroughly enjoyed his time on the jetskies and i, his mother, felt obligated to photograph these moments.

especially this one....
when he thought he was going to hit the dock as he was coming in for a landing....
perhaps a little too fast.

speed ~~~~>
boys like speed.
which makes me, his mother, especially nervous as he passed his driver's liscense test yesterday and will now be driving on the road rather than a lake.

i love you zach.
and
am
proud of you.
