Solstice Blessings!

waiting for the moment of awakening to the light of rebirth.

Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe

This photo honors "Our Lady of Guadalupe" on her Feast Day, whom many believe is the modern-day representation of a much older Deity: "Tonantzin", or "Mother Earth" of the Nahuan people.

"I will demonstrate, I will exhibit,

I will give all my love, my compassion,

my help and my protection to the people.

I am your merciful mother,

the merciful mother of all of you

who live united in this land,

and of all mankind, of all those who love me ,

of those who cry to me, of those who seek me,

of those who have confidence in me.

Here I will hear their weeping,

their sorrow and will remedy and alleviate

all their multiple sufferings, necessities and misfortunes."

The other will showcase rotations of the rich painting traditions of India, Korea, the Himalayas, and Persia beginning with an important collection of Indian works in the exhibition Gems of Rajput Painting. The two new galleries will reflect a broad range of cultures—from Iran to the west and Indonesia to the east, and from the Himalayas to the north and Sri Lanka to the south. . ."

Hymn to Kunapipi

Great Kunapipi,
I do not forget you
as I climb back into your holy womb
to make contact with my spirit soul,
crawling into the crescent vessel
of your protection
dug deep into the soil of your body,
carved into the precious earth beneath me.

I beckon to my spirit soul
which lives within you
until my time of finishing this life
and though I leave your womb
at this initiation time,
though I choose to climb out
from your nurturing warmth,
to live my years of life,
I ask you to care for my spirit soul
until my return
so that after my passing from this life
my two spirits may be reunited in you,
before you send me forth again
to once more live on earth.

Dear Kunapipi,
no matter how far I wander,
how many lives I live,
to you I shall always return.

(Traditional Australian Aboriginal)
