Hi Open,

How lovely that you share another memory, which in truth was a very formative moment for me! Having been immersed in a lot of Native American ritual like the firewalks and sweatlodges, and been waiting for my formal handover from a Native American Elder to lead my own sweatlodges, I was more than a little troubled by your invitation. It makes me laugh now to recall how I wondered what kind of wroth might befall me if I went against tradition. I remember you said to me, "No-one can own ceremony", how very true. The wisdom and guidance I had so far received had been an incredible foundatiion, yet I was overlooking Spirits hand in the whole process! It took me a while to understand the message, so I actually went into the lodge with the personal resolve that if it felt right it was OK, and if it didn't, it wasn't and I would never do it again. Of course it was magical and transformative, so I was reassured it was fine. Yes, you clicked while building the lodge, and pointed out we could hear the call but there was no bird, a spirit message, but I still didn't have clarity, it had to arise in me for itself! The morning after the Lodge, I awoke up with my Soul knowing that the beautiful bird gave its life as a messenger of handover. It was both bittersweet and awe inspiring for me as I went down to sit beside the Kites grave. You appeared in the dawn light, as if gliding through the garden, a very Master Po and Grasshopper moment for me! My oh my, I was having the spiritual time of my life, everything tasted of the Divine. I can still feel the silkiness of its feathers when I found the kite.

Thanks for more Divine memories.......
