I sit here on Easter Sunday morning balancing a contemplation of resurrection with the prospect of extremely severe weather complete with long track tornadoes headed our way tonight. I have been terrified of tornadoes for most of my adult life. Talk about a forced resurrection after a tornado bludgeons through your home or community…
I will spend the day gathering my valuables and important papers and creating a safe shelter for the cats, dogs and me in my closet. I really really hate tornadoes.
What I know to be true is that fear disables and cripples us. It wrests control of our reality and leaves us immobilized. I have spent enough of my lifetime falling into fear, allowing it to paralyze me and I refuse to do that any more. And as an awakened creator, I have no interest in allowing fear of any kind to have control over me.
This storm tonight is just one more storm in the craziness that is our lives right now. We are learning to roll with what comes and that will aid us as we traverse the coming days and months. And it will help me get through this long night tonight. Rolling with it is my current normal. And I am good with that.
Resurrection doesn’t happen just once a year. It happens all the time. Big ones, little ones. All the ways we shed outworn parts of ourselves and become something *more.*. What doesn’t happen all the time is our awareness of these resurrections and the part we individually play by choosing to resurrect. As LightBearers, that is what we do. We choose to keep moving forward, holding our lights high for all to see.
The New World has begun, born in chaos and change. We have no idea what our new normal will be and likely won’t for the next couple of years. Glimpses yes, but so much hangs in the balance still. We have more surprises and challenges and decisions coming our way. And still we will roll on, shedding our pasts and stepping in our new (old) roles and purposes.
Rebirth and renewing is who we are and what we do. We rise above. We light the way.
We are the New World. Happy Renewal, everyone.

As we settle into the new and morphing reality which surrounds us, we are bound to experience up and downs, and even moments of extreme frustration. Our emotions might run away with us at times. Fear. Anger. Grief. All that and more may take their turn. This isolation is our new normal, and with it comes a necessary adaption to make it feel comfortable. That is how we as humans work. As we attempt to feel in control, we manipulate our surroundings for comfort and familiarity.
We are letting go of what has been “normal for us for a very long time. And we are not letting go because we want to, but because we have no choice.   Most of you reading this will embrace these changes to some degree. We know this is the dawning of the New World and we welcome that. Doesn’t mean it will be comfortable.
You are all changing rapidly now, in ways you cannot yet perceive fully. You are shedding the costumes and disguises of many lives and their associated props and stories. Having your “identity” feel as if it were being stripped from you is uncomfortable at best. Knowing it would happen and experiencing this multitude of changes are two very different things. We say to you that there has never been a more sacred time/space in your accumulated lives, and in learning to honor that, and yourself within it, you may find the process more comfortable. 
Much anger is likely to surface in the next several weeks, as you account time. When life continues to change and move away from expected “normal”, frustration and fear may combine in an explosive manner, and a certain volatility may occur. Anger is a great motivator and there will come a time/space for forward action. This is not that time. 
We cannot emphasize enough the need for gentleness right now, both with your individual selves and with those in your family, indeed for anyone with which you might come into contact. Find outlets for your overflowing emotions that harm no one, even yourself. Breathe deeply, breathing in love with each breath. Exercise. Eat right. Sleep. All the usual self-care applications emphatically apply at this time/space.
Let the Waters of Love fill your hearts and bathe the cells of your body. Emotions are energy in motion and they must be allowed to pass through your body and energy fields. As these Waters fill you, so they will fill those around you.
You are within the chrysalis now, and no matter how tight and uncomfortable it might feel, you must remain within it until completion. Make yourselves at home and at peace, as best you can, within your individual cocoons.  
We remind you again and always that we are with you every step of the way. You are transforming, even in the minutes that drag on and as the frustration grows. Be the Light that you are and allow it to move you through this transformation.
We are with you in the silence of your hearts.
And from the Mother:
All will be well, my beloved children. I deliver this new world to you as blessing and lesson.
You are loved beyond measure. This exercise was never designed to punish you, my children, but to wake you up so that you will remember who I am, who you are and where you came from. I am with you every second of this awakening. Now that you are still, I will greet you and hold you close. Remember who you are, where you came from and why you are here.

I have never been more aware of the differences in perceived realities than now. Even with concern for friends and family across the world, this pandemic has been a profoundly spiritual experience for me. Relying on my years of training and practice, I have been able to dig deeply and find my way to my own Truth, and that sustains me.
What I see around me is a very different story. Two houses down, they have several cars in the driveway and seem to be hosting a get-together. On the other side me, also two houses down, new carpet is being laid in a house that recently sold. The workers are in each others’ space and a child is with them, up close. No apparent concern for social distancing.
Our perception of the danger of this virus and the meaning of social distancing are manifested in very different realities.
Stephanie posted a message on the 26th that resonated powerfully with me in that it is extremely similar to what I have been told these last couple of weeks. Paths and choices will diverge. I hope if you haven’t read this message that you will now.
Almost since the beginning of this Covid 19 experience, I have felt myself settle in place. I can say with complete certainty that this is the moment I came here for. I don’t assume anything special about that, just simply that this is the time I anchor myself tightly into the earth and I light up my world like a wildfire. I reach out to all of you and feel you reach back to me. This is my job now. I take care of myself and breathe and exercise and can see the difference in my face. I have no expectations of outcomes about this. I simply know this is where and when I am supposed to shine from the depth of my being.
I have been told with regularity that we haven’t seen anything yet and to watch for miracles. Yesterday I was told to watch for the virus mitigating and to lose some potency at some point. There are still lessons to be learned, I am told.   The word “mitigating” was in quotes so I anticipate that the way it mitigates will be surprising in some way.
And so I am told:
The world continues to turn and paths diverge. Choice has always been a prime directive in this experience called life on earth. A perceived reality is not the only reality. Each must decide themselves where they wish to go and which calling is their own. Doorways are endless, as are choices.  
The Lady is in her rightful place, the Father at her side. Balance is being reclaimed but remains unsteady at this moment, due to resistance to change. Change will come, indeed is here, and those who fight or ignore these changes will be the most encumbered by them. Every moment is a choice, and each must be weighed in the heart. Each must ask themselves if they are ready for the New World and all that it brings. Possibilities sparkle with allure…for those with eyes to see.  
In the days to come, trust your heart as an indicator of truth rather than what is presented to you on the world stage. Some of what you hear or see maybe truth, some may not. Be discerning and deliberate as you step forward in all that you do. Your heart’s internal guidance system is fully online now and will help to redirect you if necessary.
Wonder returns to the earth. Reach out for it and allow it to enter your heart. Embrace the Dawn.

A new world has dawned and it turns out that none of us were prepared. Oh, we knew *something* was coming, but as is typical, we had no idea what form it would take. The last gasping breaths (how ironic) of the patriarchy are here and the glorious heart of humankind is awakening. One day, before very long, these days will be counted as sacred, as the New Dawn.
All things on Earth cycle around. That is the way it was designed, so there would be both a beginning and an ending. The two are the same thing, as you well know. If you breathe deeply and embrace your heart space, you can now hear the sacred music, the underpinning of all there is. Use this music to create within your heart the new world you want to see, an internal vision board so to speak. This will not last forever, and as we emerge from this huge and powerful initiation, we can start anew, literally. What a joyous idea that is!
I pray you are all safe and stay well and healthy. Love each other as best you can at a distance. Be kind to others and your selves. Remember that this is a Beginning, as well as an ending.   Breathe. Let each day begin and end with love radiating from your hearts.
We surround you individually and collectively. Our love for all the brave souls on earth is boundless. Release all that no longer serves you and open yourselves to the possibility of a world built from love. Let that be your dream and your reality, for that is all there is, once illusion falls away. Eyes opened to beauty and truth, heart open to all, hands outstretched in kindness…all this and more. Rise up in spirit, rise up in heart, and reach out, connecting with each other.   It never was about the physical, you know. It was always about what is in your heart.
How wide is my heart?
Each pulsing atom in this ancient
hologram of blood and muscle
threads its yearning to a distant star.
The thread is love, glistening like silk.
My body must be woven out of That.
Deeply in touch with
the crimson creature in my chest,
I contain galaxies.
They breathe through me,
and the earth grows green.
My pollen riots the meadows.
The healing song of the hive
is hidden in my ribs.
What warms the heart, I follow.
What expands, I go that way,
and I depart from what contracts me,
like an emerald worm without eyes
traveling surely, tender and slow,
down the vein of a fern.
It is better than philosophy.
It is carrying a candle
through the forest at night.
I may not see around the bend,
but each step is illumined.
Who is my Guru?
This throb beneath my sternum.
Don’t look for the mystical door.
Friend, You are the door.
