Your Transition and the 555

We’ve been ruminating a little about changes as I share some of what’s going on with me. I’ll return soon to more about my work changes but I should add that I have an overall feeling of change, that there seems to be interesting inner transformations going on with me, as well as outer. It’s going on at a group level for many of us, wouldn’t you say?
The number of change is 5 and if I had a favorite number (why choose?) I think it would be five. When I’ve said that to others, new age people have often groaned, “Change? Ugh!” So it’s somewhat dreaded by many, apparently.
I guess because I’m more of a glass-half-full type of person, I assume change might be a positive thing. And having an artistic nature, I trust shift and chaos and not-knowing – all parts of change – as part of a creative process. I have a degree of comfort and even skill with it, I suppose.
That doesn’t mean it’s comfortable when it’s upon me, or that I always love it or feel no fear, not at all. It feels how it feels depending on what’s happening. But I do have a certain facility with the process. Perhaps confidence in that develops over the course of one’s life, or so it seems to me.
It’s important to develop that skill, after all change is one of the few real constants in life. If we don’t like the weather, it will change. If it’s a difficult time, personally-speaking, it will change. I guess the rub comes – the fear arises – in knowing that if we like the weather, or our current life circumstance, life has taught us that these too might change.
Accepting that life = change doesn’t come easily to us, does it? Spiritual resilience has a great deal to do with one’s ability to handle change or the need for change. Spiritual maturity includes a certain acceptance of, and ability with, change.
I’ve been making a little book of change. It’s an art book I’m crafting, not a book I’m writing for publication. I thought today I’d share a simple formula I’m using in it. It’s one Spirit gave me some years ago regarding change and the number 5.
5 = Transition
55 = Transformation
555 = Transmutation
Transition, a great word for change. More accurate.
Transition, transformation and transmutation are three very important words to the spiritual sojourner. Thinking of change in this way is very interesting to me. Something fun for us to ponder together.
I’m in transition in my life… not sure what it all means. I don’t feel everything about it can be named or even understood. But it’s nice to talk about it and share what I can, and I feel lucky to be able to do that here with you.
Love, dear one, in these amazing times of transition, transformation and transmutation. Which do you think you’re going through? (Hint: you can check all three boxes.)

Road Report – Sharing the Beauty of the Sea
September 26 , 2024
Article highlights:
- A photo
- And a prayer
A Road Report for you,
Today I have a moment to share from the road. It was all so delicious and blessed but it began on the vast Atlantic shore with a sunrise and prayer and a song – the DayBreak Song, of course. Here’s a photo that gives the flavor of being there, and below is the prayer.
Such beauty. And the ocean!!! It warmed the heart of this old salt, raised on the northern ocean and now – landlocked in Oklahoma – often longing for the open sea.
It filled me with blessings. Nature always reflects the beauty of our own nature, reminding of who we are and how we are meant to live. Don’t you feel that in natural settings too?
Nature my nature
To the ocean I come
To the freshness of air and light
And the cold of wind on my skin
Nature my nurture
I refresh my mind
And feel the cleansing water
Rushing over my feet
Cool and wet
The black sand below, teaming
With life, mingles with my own
Nature my Mother
Midwife of form
I thank you and offer back
All the Love and Light I Am
To lift you in the never-ending
Reciprocity of all living things.
It’s me, Mayet, and I love you so.
Nature my succor
I rest in the arms of your vitality
May I live in the blessings of receiving
And giving and receiving and giving
And receiving without end
As that which is God has intended
By bestowing the miracle of
The breath of Life
The common essence and
Nature of all things.
Blessings be upon me
Blessings be upon us
Blessings be unto all
Blessed be.
This is my prayer,
Mayet Leilani
Road Trip 2024! I’m On the Road Again
September 19, 2024
Such Fun News!!
A happy announcement today: I’m on the road again. I already traveled once this year, to Denver to see sons, grandsons, granddaughters and a brand new baby girl – my great granddaughter. That was a fabulous couple weeks away.
That wasn’t a road trip, though, no car was involved. This trip is! It’s been long in the planning, but first stopped by Covid, then later by costs and complications. Now it has found an affordable way to happen at last.
Everything has clicked in place for inexpensive airfare to the North East, and equally affordable car expenses to then drive down the East Coast before heading West and back home to Oklahoma.
For the rest of September I’ll be enjoying dear friends along the way and I’m bringing the voices of grandmother drums and the energy of ceremony along as I go. I am so looking forward to being on the open road again for a time.
That’s all I have to share today, I thought you’d love to know. I’ll be sending you wondrous Zorro Rays from my Wide and Wandering Way, see if you can catch them as I go. And I’ll give you a recap once home again.
Sending lots of love,
Mayet
