I dare not blunder
the pain, the wonder
go here go there
into the night,
the dark, dark night
and wonder if
the fireflies know
where the children take them
not malicious
but delicious
is their laughter forever after.
- Wendy Who Walks With Wildflowers
“joy”
Joy
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Look up to the sky
Be with it all no matter how small.
We care and we share
but do we dare
Dare to laugh when it seems so sad.
Wonder why
Be curious
not shy.
Open the door and wave, “Hi”
Smile at the frown
Smile at the lonely one.
Share a bite
Share a coin
Share the words
The words long lost.
Be the brightest
(or not)
Simply ask why, why, why.
Why the sadness
Why NOT the joy?
Remember the toy
played with joy
even if it was only a box
Be a kitten
Be a child
Be the one to find and discover.

Perception of the Cure
I created the perception of the arrangement of molecules that solidify and take form in this dimension.
I acknowledge I exist in all dimensions known and unknown. In those dimensions creation takes place simultaneously.
And as my soul and body collide and greet each other again in this moment, I recall and accept I truly am a brilliant spark of divine light and consciousness to thine self be true. Amen.
In the peaceful garden health and harmony peacefully coexist.
I created the illusion of lost daughters. Of sons both brilliant, gentle and kind. Of sons generous, intelligent, all-knowing, honest and of this heaven on earth. I created a partner that guides me with an open heart and shows me the way and the parts of me that are yet to be forgiven. I created those who guide me and teach me.
I created the perception of the leaders and their unique qualities. I created the perception of suffering and the joy. I created the perception of many who blame and all those who accept responsibility.
At the same time, I create the tools that I use daily in this perception of reality for in the layers of creativity there are realms of industrial manufacturing of “stuff” that in this perception of reality assist in the experience in this dimension. I create these words, this computer, this connection to the digital interface and realm of communication necessary to express.
And as I sit here listening, I hear the machines, I hear the birds, I interpret the sound waves in such a way that it creates more layers to the perception of what i create. Add to that the temperature of the air, the aroma of flowers, the light of the sun, the condensation of moisture creating the clouds, the trees thriving in the cycle of their life, the ground which holds us dearly above and below.
I also created the perception that I somehow wished all of this to be true. That over the years, little by little, I was writing the script for all of this to be.
I am everything, I am nothing. I am the void. I am the perception created and express via a biological miracle. I am the vaccine. I am the cure.
The Iron Door of Confusion
Between the layers
lies a collective confusion
about why we’re stuck
in a place where we know
to go
up or down.
Behind the iron door
in a space where there is no place
for joy or terror
in a place where we know
we should go
up or down.
Where the walls replaced
the once brilliant views
where there were no walls
there are now caverns of confusion
in a place where we know
to go up or down.
We move, we follow,
we express our sorrow.
But what do we do?
We pry open the iron door where we know
to go
up or down.
Laughter subsides
and we all arise
awakened to the choices
awakened by the voices
of the children playing
and the trees are swaying
away from the collusion
and much confusion
form the place where we know
to go
neither up nor down.

Today I Am One Day Old
My entire Facebook feed is filled with joy. It was probably that way before but today it is becoming a part of me. I no longer see it as other people’s joy. I see it as a reflection of my joyful essence. Such is life after re-birth. Today I am one day old. And I am crying again.
Free and alive more than I have ever known.
Goosebumps all over. The rays of light exploding from within.
I woke up this morning thinking of ways to express my essence of joy. Amusement park? Go-karting? Spending time with children at the zoo? Watching cartoons? And then I realized I don’t need any of those external stimuli. For what that does is suck the joy out of me. I find joy inside where it is peaceful and simple. Just as a child would sit and be with the blanket, the warmth of a solar embrace.
I am one day old. I am Wendy. Wendy Who Walks with Wildflowers. It is the name given to me by an ancient tree of the forest.
The simple joys of today: waking up. Feeling the comfort of the bed. Recalling the cat coming up to me in the middle of the night and kissing my cheek. Something he has never done before. Gratitude for having food to feed the dog and cats. The cool air. The yard. The washer and dryer. The lights. Breath. Blood circulating. Dreams. Sitting on a stool in the middle of the kitchen tasting the peanut butter chocolate sea salt fudge. Releasing the thought that I see myself owning a shop in Arizona called Prickly Pear Petunia. A confectionery where the sweets are the golden nectar of life. A joyful vision of a different dimension. It happens somewhere. I am with it in spirit.
Do one-day-old infants dream of such things? Do their cries communicate the frustration of not being able to take action to realize their dreams? That they are totally reliant on their care givers?
May all know they are love, loved and loving. Experiences come and go. Alignment with what we know comes and goes. The power within us is a gift. Receive it with the grace and ancient wisdom that the sun is the warmth that cradles our souls. And we are the sky connected to the infinite source.
Sounds Like Falling Tears
Guidance and angels surround us all. I found myself asking Super G, my super hero grandfather in spirit, how he was going to hold my hand for the next steps. How was he going to protect me from a lifetime of being violated? Nothing was coming through . . . silence.
The silence of falling tears. Cease the constant mind chatter that covers up the deep sadness. Under the surface a wonder awaits.
I drove along the highway on my way to the Spirit Walkers November Full Moon Celebration. 23 minutes to my destination. It had been months since the last time I had gone to a full moon celebration. Not sure why other than I felt irritated with myself. Today was different, today everything aligned.
I found myself standing in front of the mirror looking at myself and thinking, “You are ok just the way you are.” Which, at the moment, meant to not put make up on and not harshly judge myself or my clothes. A simple sweater, yoga pants, scarf and moccasins would do.
Turns out, the lack of make up = no mask. I left my mask on the shelf at home and showed up at the full moon ceremony as I am.
As I am now. Wendy, age 55. Without the mask. Free.
At the ceremony, I transformed during one of the experiences. A man named Horse who runs Three Feathers Farm, led the circle in responsive vs reactive consequences. Most of us stood on the West to declare publicly that which we choose to release. I publicly announced, “I am Wendy and I leave behind the sadness of a lifetime and beyond of not being loved. And I leave behind decades of being molested and raped.” I sobbed. Was I really doing this? The words that came out of my mouth were much different from what I had rehearsed in my mind.
In a circle of dozens of people and with a microphone in my hand. I said, “What does it sound like? It sounds like tears falling and the silence of no chatter to cover up the sadness.”
The mediator of the circle experience spoke powerfully. “It is no longer your story. You stand in the West and have done the work. Are you ready to release it? The story is no longer yours, it belongs to them. If you are ready, we will walk across the altar to the East. What will you find in the East?”
“Joy.” I looked him in the eye and sobbed.
He said “Today, November 4, 2017 is your birthday. For today you were reborn.”
I walked across the altar and into the East. Across the rug lying in the center of the circle. On the north and south were a sacred ceremonial blankets. In the center was a bear skin. I felt free. Paused on the edge of the rug. And then entered into my new reality where I am loved. Where I am treated with loving kindness and respect by all.
“I feel like dancing.”
“Well then dance!”
Every cell in my body was dancing. I shook uncontrollably like a leaf for the next hour. Standing in the East crying for all the people in the circle that let go of that which no longer serves them.
I now integrate joy into my life. Wendy, age 55. I am no longer the stories of the others that did not love me the way I deserve to be loved. I am simply the essence of how I am created to exist.
Thank you for your time.
