Guest Post by Debbie Hope, Circle Member “My Reflection” by Debbie Hope I am a spiritual warrior. My battles are many. My battles are with myself.

Guest Post by Deanna Fry, Circle Member & Mentor A Story: Dappled sunlight dances across the forest floor. The lacey shadows of Western Red Cedar boughs play with fern fronds, both blown by the light breeze. Silhouettes so similar, so intricate, so exquisite; like fine hand-crocheted doilies. The damp coolness close to the earth rises as …
The song that came to me was inspired by my prayer calling for courage. From this, the words, Trust, Flow, Love, Be arose. I believe it was the first prayer that came to me in the form of a song.
My soul sent me messages in the form of hearts, as to where it was enjoying its embodiment through me. I found hearts in my garden, heart rocks at the beach after watching the sunset, a heart carved on a tree in the forest, hearts in crystals, hearts in flowers.

I had come to Lake Ontario that day to give thanks for Nature’s incredible Beauty of Creation that I perceive through all my senses, and which sustains me, even in the darkest of times. I left with a ‘gnowing’, that there is no separation between the Sacred Spiral of Creation to which I sang, and the continuously evolving energy that is me.

We must find our way back home to ourselves; our inner life and drink from our inner well and light. Our disconnection from Mother Earth; the power of creation and spiral of life has led to disharmony, emptiness, war, conflict, and unfulfilled lives. We are now at the Great Turning point, moving to the centre of the spiral, going within to the place of oneness. It can be a treacherous journey without tools to navigate the dark passages; however, we have the light of our hearts to lead the way.
As many around the world celebrate Easter and the renewal of life, the foundation of the old unsustainable dream of the world is crumbling. Indigenous peoples worldwide share a belief that our world is a reflection of our thoughts and actions, created through the power of our imagination. What would it be like if we …
