windwalker... dear sacred drum - our blessed ayllu sister...


Greetings to all... 
Flying Flicker Woodpecker
Here, where we live, in our little ‘green’ neighbourhood, I always know when it’s truly Fall is when the grandmother flickers  (woodpeckers) start to call, shout and screech continually as they revel in their feasting of the season’s bounty in the trees around us – they especially love the dogwood seeds....

And thank you dear Valerie for your ‘teachings’ and to all teachings that have been shared by everyone in our emails... those who have shared their courage to share within our circle... I thank you and I hear your voice...!!!

I wish to reply from my heart, from the deep love/medicine of the sacred drum and for our blessed earth mother and the heart of ‘windwalker’ and – I choose to name her because I wish to acknowledge her by name.... and I continue to honour her - as my dear sister-spirit who connects me... ceke's me to the heart of our mother............

When I continue to drum re all this.... what comes is that....  I find it significant regarding some particular dates....

1... the call and vision of dreaming windwalker in early 2007.... our ayllu responds with a huge ‘yes!”....

2... July 7, 2007 (7-7-7)... trip to Read Island where the fallen windwalker tree is found... we engage, step up and bring her home.......

3... windwalker is birthed during the weekend of September 8, 2008 (8-8-8) – ayllu expands with celebration/commitment....

4... the first white drum mesa weekend (east) comes to our ayllu and begins Spring of 2009 – connection.... #9 - completion?

5... 1,000 days of ‘sounding’ windwalker begins... ayllu moves to deepen commitment within service.... commenced dec of 2009... and ended on solstice 2012......

6... and now... what's next???????? (12-12-12)????

I can’t help but see that this process is revealing to us as "ayllu" and what we have "dreamed into being" as one – that we indeed responded to a spirit-call and look what responded......... wow!

And re the 1,000 days and those of you who stepped up to commit to this service... I’d love to know how this process was this for you?... not in the sense of the middle world (and hard that was)... tho’ in how was this relationship with windwalker for you for our ayllu...? what did she show you... ? ...reveal to you...? or teach you...? ...the healing(s)...?  ... we heard some of this deepening from a few during our solstice time.... I would love to hear more if those of you wish to share...... what is the why did you step up to do this??..... because someone told you to or what?......

Also interesting to note from my re-membrance of the many blessed teachings I have received  from the "teachers" during the white drum mesa weekends are/is....

-       that windwalker is the ‘white drum’ or an embodiment of... and that we have received many ‘white drum mesa rites’ through windwalker many times... for me it is wonderful to have her beautiful ‘form’ among us and to be in her presence and to embrace her soundings and to honour her and feed her as i do my mesa....... and I also understand and know that “the physical form” does not necessarily need to be present ‘in form’ to connect as it is with our ‘mesas’ of stone.......i get that....

Another piece I keep coming back to which this present moment/ponderings of “what’s next?” is, where are we now re...  the initial call/vision to our ayllu (2007) ??....

‘Are we truly ready for a community ayllu drum’ to be in our presence? ....and to now again ask this same question when we did back then........ Are we ready... willing... able to accept and continue this huge responsibility?... it sounds like some of you are not... and that's okay.......

I guess I ponder......

- first attention... “the body”... (what is this – is there a clear picture?)...

- second attention...” internal or external task-at-hand”... ?

-  and third attention.. “holiness... the sacred... holding the entire circle of life in awareness and right-relationship” ...of ayni...?... what is all of this for us... as ayllu... as community.......?

I also can’t help ponder the essence-teachings of the 500 year-old Otomi 8000 sacred drums prophecy which says...

"When 8000 sacred drums sound together, an intense healing of Mother Earth will commence."

At first, my take on this was yes... of course!!... the prophecy has been fulfilled...this was announced years ago that we had reached the actual physical goal of gathering “8000 sacred drums” together at one time within sacred intent and prayer... and, yahoo for that....

However, when I dwell further into the wording of this prophecy, I can’t help get caught in the one word, “commence”...... which holds much meaning...... embark on... start... open... begin... initiate.... originate... instigate... inaugurate.... enter upon..................

And so... this reveals and teaches me that in essence – we have only really begun - we've started something, right?.... and that there is still much more work to be done....  we sooo know this....

and so.. I guess I ask the question again.... are we up for it... ?...  who will step up......  or, are we just too damn tired....?

I know deep in my own heart that I hear and feel that windwalker is definitely up to it... she only asks, are we?... whatever that could be.... 

I know that I am willing to explore a next pacha even tho’ I don’t have a frickin’ clue what’s next..... so.... I humbly ask again.... who’s with me to have a peek...........?  ...All I know is that she continues to reveal to me a most amazing, beautiful healed state – a vision....... and holy wow... I'm willing to give it a shot.... even tho’ i’m bagged too.......

with mucho light and hoards of love as all-ways...with big heart........ 
and looking forward to being in circle with you all (including windwalker) soon....

Windwalker as she presently sits... feel her love, enjoy!
