Today is the Angelversary of our dear friend and Soulsister
Brenda Bollman Baker. BBB, as we fondly refer to her and one of the many signs
she shares with us to let us now she is still right here
Today is also the day before Mother’s Day. A day fraught with
intense feelings. Some of joy and delight at having the opportunity to
celebrate our mothers still in the body. And this year even that has been made
difficult for those still in self quarantine.
However, today the focus is first and foremost on the Divine Mother, the Divine Feminine. For the Mother resides in all of us man or woman.
She is a giver of life. She is the Creator and in this we are the Face of the Divine. Today’s drumbeat is meant as a healing and honoring of the mothers, all
mothers and memories of mothers that reside within us. May it soothe your Soul.
Today we remember the mothers whose children are in Spirit.
Be sensitive. These days painful for them. Today we remember and honor the sons
and daughters of those mothers who are in Spirit. Be mindful. This is a weekend
to just get through.
Let us honor and remember and ask for healing for the
mothers who have lost children to miscarriage, infertility or abortion. They
are hurting.
We honor the children with mothers who are or were
unavailable due to emotional distancing or drug addiction or abuse or any
number of reasons. We honor the mothers who birthed children from violence. We
honor and ask for healing whatever your birth experience.
We honor the children and the mothers separated at the
border and put in cages or deported. We ask that they receive as much of the
love that we can muster as a group today as they possibly are able to.
We honor the Aunties, the sisters, the birth mothers, the
adoptive mothers; those of you that step into the role of mother because your
heart tells you to.
And today, we honor my friend Brenda. Brenda was not in my
physical life for very long but she packed a wallop. She made a difference in
my life and the life of so many of her tribe in Souls Awakening. A group she
began after her spiritual awakening.
I got to know Brenda intimately through a small subset of Souls
Awakening she named, Desert Classic. Five of us would meet regularly for the
last two years she was in the body. Our weekends together were filled with
laughter, tears, healing. I would also often stop by on my way to and from
California. From the moment I met her, our relationship was intense. On some
level she knew she did not have much time on earth. And there was no time to
waste.
Two years ago this week some of us from Souls Awakening
gathered in Sedona with Brenda. It turned out to be an opportunity for those of
us who had grown to love her, to say goodbye. We laughed, we cried, we healed,
we held ceremony. She held court. Queen that she is she held court. And it was
magnificent. And difficult. And sad. And joyous.
One of the things we did, because all of us in Souls
Awakening are curious about the afterlife, is write down codewords on a small
slip of paper, rolled them into a scroll and placed them in a purple velvet
bag. The idea was that Brenda, once on the other side, would reveal our code
words to us in some fashion and boy did she! And continues to. People who never
met her, put out a code word after her transition and the words or image were
revealed to them.
The only ones who knew these words were those of us who
wrote them. Brenda never had the opportunity to read them while in the body as
she was declining quickly.
Brenda, and so many of our loved ones, pop in all the time
to reassure us that they are well; that they love us and; that we are going to
be OK too. They also come to us to resolve unfinished business. Always, in my
experience, is the desire for healing and a more profound connection.
Brenda popped in at 3am earlier this week. She wanted to
make sure we got this right. I spent about half an hour taking photos so that I
could create an event on facebook. I didn’t like any of them. Finally she
whispered in my ear, you already have it. It was the picture I posted of her
hands, Lynette’s, hands, Valerie’s hands and my hands clasped over her heart.
She tells me this is not about her, even though she loved the limelight. This
is about that force that drew us together in Sedona that week. It is about that
force that guided Brad, Rachel, Valerie, Lynette and I in those last days. It
is about a Love so grand it transcends boundaries, dimensions, laws. It is a
Love so profound it makes us family whether we are related by blood or not. It
connects each and every one of us to each other.
So again we honor and remember and ask for healing for our
Divine Mother. We ask for healing for our Earth Mother. And we ask for healing
for each and everyone of you, for you each carry the DNA and ancestral lineage
of your mother in your cell structure. She created life, your mother. She
shared her body with you. It is a unique experience carrying a child in our
bodies and even if you’ve never given birth you’ve experienced it from the
inside out. Men too. Whatever your
feelings regarding your mother and your role as mother, we honor you. We thank
you for giving life to each and everyone on the planet.
I believe that if each of us traced our ancestry back back
back, we would eventually arrive at the Source for we are ALL children of the
Divine whether we believe it or not and we ALL return to the Source when our
time here is done.
Let’s drum...
