Ladling Liberating Beauty out of the Cauldron of Calamity
(calamity (n.) early 15c., “damage, state of adversity;” 1550s, “a great misfortune or cause of misery,” from Old French calamite (14c.), from Latin calamitatem (nominative calamitas) “damage, loss, failure; disaster, misfortune, adversity,” a word of obscure origin.)
*Cooling out the conflagration
*Rising Aroused in Apocalyptic times
*Revelation – accountability fest…
*Defiant joy, honed by adversity
With
Caroline Casey
&
Amikaeyla Gaston
The word “deliberate” derived from Libra,
and 2 verbs : “librare” – to liberate, and “libare” – to balance….
So to be deliberate is to be in a state of liberating balance.
Quan Yin riding the dragon
So
Let’s deliberately ride this New Moon Tide of Unity – transcending division
Let’s step into the calm at the center of the storm, to gather our wits, make our dedications, partner with what we love, and are, in Nature…
Then
Do not fear the storm – become the storm
Do not fear the chaos, but guide the chaos…
In times of danger – Trickster comes alive in us – and in Nature…
Music and Metaphor be the incarnational garb whereby power enters the world..
Caroline & Ami will honor the available Vernal Green Fire with language and music craft….
And
call in what we need to make it all happen….
To partner with water – Oshun with Ogun, and Mami Watta- to heal the Potomac River, (largest raw sewage catastrophe in American history, right where Caroline lives) and all Rivers, heal the soil, the air, the ancestors …
And always — Oya, whirling her horsetail whip to summon the winds of change.
Oya (Hrana Janto)
“How large a necessary miracle of change would you all like?”
Pretty big….
That our rogue species may have manners again….
Magic is simply a willingness to cooperate with everything

Here’s a beautiful gem from a Muslim sage, Nizamuddin Auliya ( (Nizam al-Din Awliya’), the great Sufi from Delhi in India, on how to response those who would wish us evil.

‘Tis such a worthy aspirational practice….
Keep it going and customize
(and feel free to send such…)
“As for the one who (fill in the blank),
may(fill in the blank)”
And
I am journeying with small group led by Omid to Morocco, for Sufi prayerful pilgrimage…
(April 22nd to early May)
“Bring in the poets and double the madness!”
For me – tis a necessary miracle – Hail Mary – Hail Rumi pass….
So
for all who contribute – whatever windfalls of wherewithal….to make this pilgrimage possible
Will invite to a customized zoom, upon my return – for deep scouting report…
From Casablanca, Marrakesh, Fez and desert
Yes, delighted to contribute to the necessary miracle of Caroline’s journey to Morocco
being ever more Caroline, as she will be syncretizing all gleaned into radio, councils, consulting… !
