Dear Thankful One,

A few years ago I did a ceremony and house blessing for a friend moving into her new home.  The ceremony included smudging and song as well as a special prayer I wrote to express the intentions and gratitude for those within.

This Thanksgiving, I thought it would be nice to share this blessing with you – I think it could be a lovely prayer for your Thanksgiving meal.    

You’ll find it below but I also have a pdf copy that’s formatted for printing on an 8×10 sheet of paper.  If you printed it on special paper at home you’d have a lovely 8×10 to frame and hang on the wall like she did, and I have done.  If you’d like to have that, just let me know in a quick email to mahulili@mahulili.com and I’ll email the file to you.  

I hope you have a wonderful day of thanks and giving, whether as your own private time of reflection or with friends and family.  I’m with friends in the mountains of New Mexico (see photo).  May your holiday weekend contain many moments of joy and inner peace, that’s my wish for you. (more…)

Dear Dances with Angels,

A friend sent me the following text recently.  I riffed on it below, not too much but just enough to get you started with your own riffs and ruminations about emptiness.  And space.

“I am feeling the conceptual power of emptying a closet, and leaving it empty.  So that the closet if full of emptiness.  This concept feels empowering.  Today I will empty a closet and fill it with emptiness, and leave the closet door open, so I can observe emptiness.  The powerful emptiness of space.”

I replied:

In other words, to empty is to fill with space.

Space = Power

The vast emptiness of space, rife with creative foment. (more…)

Dear child of the village,

Yesterday I came across a small black rock tucked into the side pocket of my purse.  On it was etched the Hopi Indian figure of Kokopelli, dancing and piping a compelling song.  

“What does Kokopelli’s song sound like?” I wondered as I put it in my pocket for the day.   I was reminded of our childhood story of the Pied Piper who piped such a magic tune that all the children in the village followed him out of town.

Later in the afternoon when I sat quietly in Will Rogers park, this message came in answer, from the Heart of Love.  It delighted me and I couldn’t wait to share it with you.

The Pied Piper and You
A Message From the Heart of Love

The story of the piper is told in many, many languages, dear friend.  In some cultures it is no longer remembered what the magic song is; in some cultures it is even feared for its hypnotic potency.  Even so, no matter the layers of meanings laid upon it throughout the generations of human time, there remains the evocative symbolism of what is remembered by all, beyond words.
