Meeting the Earth Mother

During my last stay in Baja, I kept hearing of this mythical free spirit who spend his days up the valley in the shadow of the mountain meditating and communing with nature. All would tell me that “I should meet him” or “I have to talk to him”. The time went on until one day in the garden I came to meet this mythical creature and his lovely partner. We hit it off from the start.

This year my friend came down from the mountain and we met again and right away pick up where we had left off with conversations of Love and Unity. My friend had just completed two and a half weeks of solo meditation and was easing back into community life. As he made a batch of his special raw chocolate, with plenty of healing herbs, we talked and sampled his batch until he got the right mix of this special treat.

That night, high from chocolate, good conversation and reconnecting with a dear friend, I drifted off to dream time.

Soon, I was back in school, an old abandoned, elementary school, walking arm in arm with the Earth Mother. She was showing me the emptiness of our educational system that does not include Her teachings. As we where walking her alluded to her size and I was surprised.

“How can you be so big when you are smaller that me”?

She explained that most can not handle to see here in all her glory and that she shows only a glimpse of her true being. I felt sadden that she felt that she had to hide her glory from the world and said to her; “What kind of friend would I be if I did not let you appear to me as your true self? Please show me you in all your glory.”

With that she rose up and I was dwarfed by Her. Still arm in arm I was awe struck with kindness that radiated from her being. The love and bliss that I was showered with was so pure and innocent that it could only be described as the feeling of love a newborn receives the first time he is held by his mother.

As we we continued I was reminded that this was still just a glimpse of Her full glory that would grow as we moved to more of an earth honoring society.

I awoke still feeling the love She had bestowed on me.

Now each morning I greet the day with a meditation that takes the love She freely shares with the love that Unity brings from above into my being and pray that I can be a worthy citizen of this amazing love that they so freely bestow.
