My recent Facebook post: “Never underestimate the power of synchronicity–Connections made without thought or weighing or measuring brought you and I to amazing opportunities to grow, to learn and most of all, to express love. In gratitude, Elke” Synchronicity–Carl Jung coined the term, scientists discussed and debated about it: Seemingly un-related events are linked at…

Subject to change, and still on time….
“Everything in the Universe is subject to change–and everything is on schedule!” (bumper sticker from Quest Bookshop, Charlottesville,VA) The smirking mask pictured here was found after we discovered that the beachfront home we were cautiously excited about would not work for us. Yes, as of this very minute, we are still anchor-less in (almost) Seattle….
sailing into Homeport?
8 months ago, It all began with a thought: What if we could create a life where we can joyfully bring our work to the world, live in community, and live in a home that brings us joy on a daily basis? It was a solution to increasing distress in our LaConner house–you can read…
our journey is a labyrinth
Life’s journey is not, I repeat, not straightforward or straight up or straight anything. Nope. We are too complicated, and life is too. Plus there are too many synchronicities for the Universe to coordinate, and all that coordinating of meeting the person who made all the difference, or having the experience that changed our lives, or the one time when it all came togehter in a big aha, or, or, or…all those ors are designed using some kind of crazy formula or algorithm, or….
I think that life’s journey is designed as a labyrinth.
Finding our way west…
On the road, we’ve made new lifetime friends—we call them soul family. We’ve participated in ceremonies, classes, healings, movie premiers (Charlie’s Scars and Thrive), 11-11-11 activities, Native American Day at a local Veteran’s administration hospital, new moons, full moons, drum circles, dancing, laughing, and lots and lots of potluck dinners. But nowhere has there been a place to call home, even though we both have enjoyed certain places enough to want to return.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program….or not.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program….or not. We interrupt our regularly scheduled life, to bring you these instances of healing… * After the soul retrieval, she lay on the massage table, eyes moist from the tears, now shed with happiness. Her formerly aching body felt relaxed, her breathing calm. I helped her up, and…
Light and darkness, coast to coast
We’re in an entirely new season from the time we left the West coast on June 1: Well into October, we’ve finally arrived at the other Great Ocean that unites us all as a planetary body: The Atlantic Ocean greeted us with still-warm breezes, and a quiet beach devoid of summer tourists. Here on Oak…
It’s all Spirit, all the time
Yesterday, I had the privilege of rendering an aura portrait for a Native elder, hospital chaplain, airforce veteran Fleming Otey, aka Holy Eagle. A leader of a seven-tribe council here in North Carolina, he is one busy soul! Here is a picture of Fleming and his corresponding aura portrait: What was significant about our time…
Multi-layered reality
As we’ve traveled this land, there is a sense of the many layers of human existence here, and at times it is rather unsettling, and at other times, interesting and deeply moving. We humans have had quite the journey, yes?
Meanwhile, back on earth…
From Downloading a Friendly Universe: “The wake-up call is this: Creation is calling upon you to remember your true nature as powerful beings involved in a divine Plan. The Plan includes forgetting who you are, so that you may make the “return trip” to your remembrance—stronger in your purpose, mature in your collective wisdom. It…
