Today, I pause to notice what I choose to do with the peace in my life.
Canadians pause to remember today. To remember the 2.3 million men and women who have served, and more than 118,000 who died. To remember those who continue to serve. To remember Canadians who gave their lives and their future so that we may live in peace.
Today, I pause to notice the peace I experience in my life, in exchange for their sacrifice.

How do we get stuck at simply remembering the past instead of re-membering the future, of bringing back into relationship what has been torn apart?_____
The peace in my part of the world allowed me to go on a wilderness quest. A month ahead of the quest, I recognized that my intention was to find the bigger ME that sees abundance in the world, to find my abundant Self. At the time, I called this my effort to rewire the reptilian in me, to awaken my whole being to what scarcity looks and feels like (no food for two nights in the wild). I did this safely, without fear of loss of life.
The peace in my part of the world allowed me to go on the wilderness quest with people who travelled safely from Canada, the United States, Germany and Australia. In my case, I drove 1500 km with one uneventful border crossing, and hours of beautiful countryside. Nestled in the northern part of the Cascade Mountains that stretch from northern California, to southern British Columbia, I enjoyed the passage of Chronos + Kairos time.
The peace in my part of the world allowed me to Earth gaze from Earth. I contemplated my self, my Higher Self and the nature of me and the nature around me. I was contemplating my planet and my place in it. I found a place to camp up the valley to the right of the Sacred Mountain.
The peace in my part of the world allowed me to listen to the voices of longing in my soul, my soul hungers.
Today is tuesday on the Sacred Mountain which means I notice what I’m really hungry for i have shelter i am warm enough my thirst is quenched my hunger is for my soul to be seen by me for my soul to be seen by others for my soul to be seen by this place to see Me to see Others to see my Place I am hungry for Me here I am.The peace in my part of the world allowed me to take time to settle in to the experience for weeks afterwards. In this time, I recognized that synchronicity is the Universe tapping you on the shoulder, a wild synchronicity that invites me to be awake in every moment. Further, I noticed cascading synchronicity, a series of events and understanding that revealed the synchronicity in synchronicity. Words in books, on maps, in experiences. Everywhere I went.
The peace in my part of the world allows me to fully be Me.
The peace in my part of the world allows me to look after others.
The peace in my part of the world allows me to look after place.
Thank you.
