Our Lady's Prayer

Dear Family of the light,
This was a lot of work here and not much let up time. But ... I want to thank you all for your prayers and
connection. I am to start putting together my newsletter. The insights of my recent journey is on the tip of my tongue. The
main focus on the newsletter is on the consciousness of the mature path.
I have to say when Spirit takes a hold of us when we are young we are like stallions hoofing
the earth to begin our path. When we confront change at many intervals of our lives, Spirit is there again trying to
help us get that spirit back. I have been looking over my life and seeing that as I've aged I've also wanted
to be safe and more secure, with similar like hearted folks and environments because 'I know' the rough spots
- my vulnerable body doesn't seem to want to face such 'harsher' moments. Yet, I've had to pray
and be isolated to understand that those moments helped me to have the fire and passion of the 'holiness' of Spirit.
Wherever I was, no matter how uncertain
or lonely and vulnerable I was feeling these personal concerns so acutely because Spirit was with me. I was a warrior
with such strength I wanted to take it on. I feel this is a beauty in my life that cannot be see but is extremely
powerful and all life giving. I've known that I was going to have to leave Hawaii for certain over a year now. I was very accepting of that realization
then. But after I have returned to the mainland these last four months past I have been placed in a environment that
one has to get back in the saddle and remember to see the beauty in the worst situations. It seems I had back slid
off my horse while being in Hawaii living in a such a lovely and loving world that once removed I was really once again
a fish out of water. Yet, being there made be have to fight for the fire inside of me. I knew I had to be there
but before I left I was frightened, I knew then something major was in store. It's funny how we get used to being
directed by the Divine but after experience (and after the mental committement); once on the road I feel the personal impacts
more.
My beloved ones, we have
all been here before in other times (this life and others) and what we've had to (stand for then) has been the fuel for
our spirit to make the committment to come back and stand up again for that truth. We are here during these times
to be strong once more, not comfortable ( much to my own personal disappointment). The real comfort and joy is to know
we are here together.
I will be leaving Hawaii now for some time. I will be moving to Montana
since I was selected into Montana State University graduate Native American Studies program. I will be leaving beloved
Hawaii the last week of August. It appears I will start assistant teaching in Montana in January. The good thing
is I will not be too far away from the most of our family. I have already begun plans for closer connections to you
all.
I hold so much gratitude
in my life for this prayer circle. Please remember I will holding a farewell fire ceremony on the 31st of July ... soon.
For those that are far it is on the eve of Lughasah the rededication ceremony to our path to Spirit.
I hold you in my circle and prayers with great admiration
and thanksgiving; and most of all love.
Thank you
Diveena
