[Thespiritexpress] Equinox Gratitude

[Toni Bernbaum]

Dear Blessed Community, 

Today is the “official” fall equinox taking place at 2:19 p.m. so HAPPY EQUINOX TO YOU ALL  
And a special thank you to those who came to support our quarterly FUNdraising event
on Saturday.  We were blessed with a beautiful crowd, an incredible potluck, and once again…amazing music with Doug, Johnny and Ron. 
Below is the poem I read which I received many requests to share.
Hoping you are all finding balance and staying current with yourself and the influx of so many emotions and so much activity in the world. 
We are in the “eclipse season” and it's a powerful time that many are feeling.

Just a reminder….Attitudinal Principle # 8
We can choose and direct ourselves to be peaceful inside regardless of what is happening outside.

And  from the Hopi Prophecy  “banish struggle from your attitude and vocabulary”….

May your hearts be light as a feather.

With only love, 
T


For When People Ask

Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer



I want a word that means
   okay and not okay,
     a word that means
devastated and stunned with joy.
   I want the word that says
     I feel it all, all at once.
The heart is not like a songbird
   singing only one note at a time,
     more like a Tuvan throat singer
able to sing both a drone
   and simultaneously
     two or three harmonics high above it—
a sound, the Tuvans say,
   that gives the impression
     of wind swirling among rocks.
The heart understands the swirl,
   how the churning of opposite feelings
     weaves through us like an insistent breeze,
leads us wordlessly deeper into ourselves,
   blesses us with paradox
