I have just returned from Mexico and want to share something
with you while it is still fresh and tangible in my consciousness.
During my trip, I had a day off from teaching and went into
the jungle with a guide and some others.
I knew nothing of our destination, but I was feeling ready to walk
forever. I felt a certain curiosity and
anticipation that something magical would happen. As we travelled up hills and through dense
foliage, I found myself lagging behind my guide. As a result, I was the last one to walk into
the magic world that was about to unfold.
As I approached those I was with, I saw what seemed like
just another man traversing the forest.
However, it did not take long for me to realize that this was no
ordinary man. He was dressed completely
in white and was glowing in a brilliant mist of light. He held something in his hand that looked
like smoke. I shook my head and thought,
"How could that be?" It turned out to be
tree sap that smelled like a camp fire.
Still, I wondered, "How could that be?"
This magical person was a native Shaman guide of Mayan
heritage. His presence was
transformative. He spoke in a language
that was foreign to me, and although I had no idea what he was saying, I knew
it was important, and on a level I cannot explain, I understood his words.
He spoke of a world coming to completion. He said that we, he and I, were beginning a new
journey that would unfold over the next few days. I was gifted with the opportunity to spend a
late night interacting with this Shaman.
We spoke of the Great Shift in Consciousness, and I shared my knowing
with him. I can't give you the fullness
of our conversation in this short missive, but I had a sense that, henceforth,
he would share our conversation with those who visit him for guidance.
It was a magical meeting between two energies sharing a
common bond. How cool is that!
