Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher > Audio on Patreon

I step onto the path at the Cliffs of Mohr, early morning, wrapping me in a fine, misty rain that clings to my face like a soft veil. The sky stretches wide, a pale white-gray glow, not dark or heavy, but pulsing with quiet life.

The cliffs loom before me, their massive forms draped in light mist, their vastness spilling along the coastline, unhidden, eternal. My boots press into solid rock, a granite mass that feels old like it’s anchored the earth forever, a thin skim of soil barely covering its ancient heart.

Tiny plants, some no taller than my thumb, curl inland, bowing to years of relentless breath from the Atlantic, their delicate arcs telling stories of endurance. Shrubs and stunted trees lean away from the sea, sculpted into gentle curves, as if sculpted by an unseen hand.

Below, the Atlantic surges with a deep, steady, and hungry thud, pounding the cliffs with unyielding force, announcing its might. Swirls of foam and whiteheads dance in its retreat, carving eddies in the dark water.

The wind, the soul of this place, roars across the cliff tops, tugging my coat, lifting and spinning my bag, daring me to stay upright. It carries that misty rain, stinging my face, sweeping over the land like a cleansing breath, not just nourishing the stubborn lichens or the grazing cattle on the nearby hill, but lifting centuries of Ireland’s grief, its struggles etched into this harsh, unyielding terrain.

Loughcrew

The last steps to the summit leave the heart full and strong, breath rising in steady waves. I pause, turning to see the hill fall away, the valleys stretched wide in muted greens and grays, their edges softened by drifting cloud. The land feels endless, and for a moment I stand between earth and sky, the climb behind me, the cairn before me.

The summit opens slowly, as if unveiling itself. The great mound waits at the center, its stones dark with age, the three outlying cairns keeping watch at the edges, and the rings of upright slabs, each gap like a threshold for the unseen. Their presence is not silent; it hums, low and deep, just at the edge of hearing.

I step apart from the others scattered lightly across the dome. Their voices fade into the wind as I walk among the stones. My hand comes to rest on one, and the surface is cool, coarse, alive. It exhales into my palm, and the breath of the stone moves into me. It is not simply contact, it is a merging. The longer I remain, the more the boundary thins, until I feel the stone leaning back, meeting me.

Around me, the air stirs with its own rhythm. It does not come and go but circles, climbs, folds back on itself, weaving with the shape of the hill. A brush of coolness across my cheek carries with it the taste of mineral, as though the rock itself has risen into the air. My mouth waters, unexpected, as if drinking from some hidden spring. The breath of the cairn becomes my own, and within it, a memory flickers, of hands that placed these stones, of voices that once rose in chant, of firelit faces lifted to the sky.

The Sounds of Music

This little adventure started while driving and listening to music. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon when this song came on.

“Betcha by Golly, Wow” by the Stylistics.

Within 30 seconds, I was carried away, and after listening to the song once, I replayed it. I yelled “wow” out loud and then asked myself these questions.

How could a voice be so beautiful? How could it be so true and innocent and pure? How was it possible for a human to do this, to be so magical, to speak every emotion all at once?

I felt everything that came through and knew this wasn’t superhuman but a gift.

When I got home, I looked up this song and found Russell Tompkins Jr to be the singer.

Talking Yourself to Sleep

It is so interesting how our busy minds can show up when our heads hit the pillow. Sometimes, it’s about nothing important, or even stressful, just an interesting thought or idea that keeps us awake.

I’m most creative in the evening so bedtime can often still be rich with ideas. Usually, I can take a few deep breaths, close my eyes, and quickly fall asleep. Other times it’s not so easy.

I’ve learned a process (very much by accident) that has helped me fall asleep and would like to share it with you.

Below is what I do.

I was lying in bed ready for sleep and drew my attention to a workplace I knew in my teens and early 20s. I had a part-time job in a school as a cleaner which through high school and college paid a lot of bills. I enjoyed this job and got to know this school as well as anyone could.

At this moment in bed, my mind intuitively opened the front door and I started walking through the main hallway exploring all the features, looking at trophy cabinets, walls, doors, floors, etc. The next thing I know it’s morning and I’m getting up after a great night’s sleep!

The Illusion

For many years I’ve wondered how the universe presents itself to us and me.

We hear about many things such as our collective experience and our personal experience within the collective. We hear about backdrop or background people as though our experience can be filled in with people to satisfy our reality.

My curiosity tries to understand and resolve how reality is created, yet in the end, I simply allow simplicity to breathe for the universe. Does it matter how it all works?

Recently, I spent a week in Orlando Florida with family. On this trip, many things were exposed and more clearly defined. I became aware of old energy being purged. Much of this exhale came through strong and present-moment experiences. What was significant was that others close to me saw and felt this too. This allowed me to witness a collective and personal healing like I had never experienced before, as we were all shedding and being unburdened together. Watching us cling to the old even when it didn’t make sense was fascinating, and then finally allowing release.

Healing and alignment were just part of the package.

I normally experience visions in a meditative or dream state with a smaller percentage occurring while fully awake. Personally, I like visions while awake because they can be better understood and of course trippy.

While in Orlando, I was shown many visions (stories) in my daily awake time.

I was advised that we are now in a new time energetically where we will understand and discern information live and in the moment. This was not new to me, but what was new was the level of information being provided in this live format.

Christmas Vacation (summertime)

      

This story is not about the movie but rather a dream I had this week. You’ll understand in a minute!

Unlike most dreams I have, this dream happened in phases like chapters in a book. It all started around 3 am, ending shortly before I awoke at 7:30 am.

In this dream space, I was very aware of my surroundings and the interactions I had with people. I sensed it as more a reality than a dream.

The dream started with me visiting a small community that I understood to be in the United States. I arrived there and immediately had a guide waiting to show me around. I spent several days in this town as my dream progressed.

My guide and I took in all the towns’ events. She was a beautiful woman who reminded me of Peggy Bundy.

The reason for the title Christmas Vacation is because the townsfolk were oddly like characters from the movie. A few people could be characterized like Clark and his wife, silly but in leadership roles. Everyone else took after Eddie (male and female), very playful and lighthearted.

Everyone was odd in a good way and as the scenes (phases) played out I got to meet many of them. I saw all aspects of the town, its people, its traditions, and its inner workings.

Flash of Light

Recently, a number of individuals in the spiritual community have spoken about a flash of light. My understanding of these comments is that a unique light (seen or unseen) will come to the earth to shine light on all of mankind. This light is said to be positive and structured to help people shift into a more heart-centered energy and way of being.

As much as I’d like to see and experience such a magical moment my focus is always on the present and what is happening now.

My experience with light coming to the planet is different from what is described above. I’ve been shown many instances of increased light and energy flow. Some might see this as galactic or universally inspired, but my intuition tells me these energies come directly from the Great Central Sun.

The smaller “flashes” I’m experiencing are brought through subtle awareness and honestly, leave me speechless with each encounter. I’m sensing moments of purity, completeness, and love. And with each experience, there is an outward flow or expansion of energy onto the planet.

The Beauty of Animals

This story comes from the field, through a wonderful friend, Tucker (Our Dragon Pup).

Tucker is our dog and came to us like all animal friends as a gift from God. Recently, while I was playing with Tucker, he stopped and calmed and looked at me. In this moment love flowed as pure as love can.

I thought about Tucker and the previous dogs we’ve had and was saddened that these beautiful creatures can’t stay longer. That they come and go in lives too short.

It was at this moment I held him closer and these words came forward from him.

He said, nothing of source light is ever gone, nothing leaves. What you can see and touch (like me) is an expression of source. We hope humans see this light through us and then see the light of creation within every living thing.

More than anything, we (the animals) want you to know there is no separation. The things you see in me and the things I see in you are a blending of energies made for this moment. This love that we share is never lost or forgotten.

Meditation for Peace

I start by gradually releasing all thoughts and gently bringing focus to my heart, expanding light here.

Expanding my heart, sensations of warmth and peace are felt throughout my body. I continue to feel this growing sensation as it evolves into a golden sphere surrounding me. Powerful energy is with and I sense the presence of my entire team.

I rise up and into the atmosphere above the earth, able to see through the dark of night and witness the glorious earth below. From here I focus on the Middle East and find myself moving closer to this area of the planet below me.

This visual is amazing! I can see individual people across many countries. I see a beautiful strand of silver light connected to each person below. This strand flows upward through the night sky and connects behind me far out in the universe. This light strand provides powerful illumination for each human and I witness light traveling down to each person’s heart where it expands. This light flows downward through their bodies and feet, connecting to the earth.

The earth is providing powerful energy upward into each human body. This is a brilliant moment to witness as each body glows brighter and brighter. I sense a divine connection as this light pulses and strengthens.

What I see next is interesting. A pattern is drawn around the feet of every person, which looks like a glowing outline that matches the same golden frequency within each person. As the frequency increases within each being, so does the light ring around their feet. This pulsing ring expands outward touching objects, nature, and other humans.

Ticks, Nature, and Fun

A friend once told me she and her husband regularly walk in the woods near their home. Checking for ticks when home she never finds ticks on herself but always on her husband. This is a long-standing thing.

This could be related to many things, but my friend has always said this was energetic. I agree.

Or is it trust? Trusting a deeper connection with nature?

Being in nature is like swimming in the ocean. We are stepping (swimming) into a realm more suited to other creatures than ourselves. Our instincts and performance are not as strong as the creatures that live there.

My experience with being in nature is similar to my friends and I rarely have any reason to question the presence of a negative outcome. I am more concerned about those who walk with me or our dogs. There was a time when I carried pepper spray for coyotes, now I don’t.

I don’t consider myself reckless but rather take simple measures to ensure safety at a basic level.

We all know fear. Understanding why we are fearful (or not) is important. I don’t see nature as something to fear but rather respect. Preparation is necessary, just like when taking a boat out to sea.
