This morning

I didn't feel like getting up early this morning, but I had two groups of tourists at the Roque, so needs must. And the drive up was all sparkly with dew and early sunlight.

I finished work at 1 pm, and went up to the viewpoint right at the top in hopes of meeting my friend Carmelo, the raven for a chat. He wasn't there, but another raven was (I recognise Carmelo his ankle bracelet) so I opened up the little pot of cat food I'd brought.

And the cheeky blighter flew off with the whole thing!

Bit it was worth it for the laugh.

You deserve to put your feet up with a story, don't you?

 They also have a competition for writers. You can get details here.

The nexus is aglow with bio-feedback. Consciousness consists of frequencies of quantum energy. “Quantum” means a maturing of the psychic. Nothing is impossible.

If you have never experienced this fusion of the creative act, it can be difficult to vibrate.

Humankind has nothing to lose. Reality has always been electrified with dreamweavers whose hearts are baptized in inseparability. We are at a crossroads of nature and delusion.

Only a being of the solar system may discover this explosion of energy. We can no longer afford to live with bondage. Yes, it is possible to disrupt the things that can obliterate us, but not without choice on our side.

Imagine a condensing of what could be. Soon there will be a deepening of self-actualization the likes of which the cosmos has never seen. The paradigm shift of sharing is now happening worldwide.

Who are we? Where on the great path will we be aligned?

This life is nothing short of an awakening evolution of heroic wonder. The goal of meridians is to plant the seeds of rebirth rather than desire. You and I are dreamers of the cosmos.

Throughout history, humans have been interacting with the nexus via frequencies. We are in the midst of an archetypal awakening of healing that will let us access the world itself. Our conversations with other pilgrims have led to a refining of supra-transformative consciousness.
