I may not make it through this night
war has broken out in the world
and in my body
I feel death
trying so hard to come for me
to terrify me
and so I call on Padre Pio
and my beloved St Therese
to help me and all those a world away
and yet truly not so far
as I suffer in my bed
I think of all who suffer
I weep endless tears
and I pray
I know I am not alone
and all those in fear for their lives
have angels beside them
and they will win
one way or another
And through the darkness
and confusion
there is a point of light
radiating colors of love,
mercy, healing and hope
straight into your heart
I took this photograph just the other day and I have spent many hours gazing at it and feeling the energies. All the images are amazingly beautiful and powerful and I believe each has one has its own vibration and message. This one feels very special to me.
Imagine that these incredible light emanations are always surrounding us bringing us love, healing and divine sustenance. Imagine that they come in all colors and forms bringing us exactly what we need and the knowing that we are not alone.
If you allow yourself to breathe in this beautiful gift you will feel the angels. I believe meditating upon this with a pure heart can connect you with your guardian angel. These are the little miracles we should be focusing on and communing with for these are the ways we increase our light and remember who we are and what we are capable of.
I once saw a great shower of light raining down on Jesus and Mary Magdalene. They were aware of it. They knew what was happening and what the heavenly light was providing them. It was their saving grace and it is ours.
Can you hear it?
the atmosphere is alive
with everything
with love and hate
war and peace
the past, the present, the future
the geometry of the universe
is vibrating
speaking
a universal language
we are the receivers
the tuning forks
listen
tune in
tune up
you are breathing it in
in every moment
breathe with the awareness
that you are a cosmic transformer
of love
the atmosphere is filled
with angels
I saw one before my eyes
as we evolve
and become aware
of more
aware of the sounds of the universe
and all that lies just beyond
what we ever thought possible
to see, to hear, to know
we foster in a new way of being
a new world
it is here
now
yes
the atmosphere is filled
with angels
and love is vibrating
louder and louder
can you hear it?
I’m holding on
teetering on the edge
using all I’ve got
all the strength
all the power
knowing I have friends
in high places
holding me up
when I feel I am falling
I turn to them
the ancestors and saints
I believe
fully and wholly
in powers greater
than I can imagine
and I believe
in me

Oh how a rainbow lifts me
out of the dark of the night
it is always there
just beyond the veil
showering us all with it’s light
nature’s palette of color
swirling and healing us all
no matter how low
we seem to go
each color softens the fall
heavenly hues
purples and blues
vibrating sweetly with love
lifting and bathing us
blessing and saving us
magic from high above
when rainbows find me
they always remind me
that nothing is what it seems
that just beyond here
there is love everywhere
and soon we shall all remember
that the light of love
and the light of hope
comes in every imaginable color
that this our time
that this our place
and each one of us is a rainbow
merging our hearts
merging as one
rainbow
upon rainbow
upon rainbow

The Shift
On Christmas morning I had an incredible and significant dream. This was the kind of dream that looks and feels so different and stays with you unfolding its deep mysteries and messages bit by bit. After months and months of the most harrowing physical and emotional struggles this dream is like a message of hope and rebirth.
I believe in telling our stories. I believe we help one another by speaking our truth no matter how difficult that is. Writing is my way of processing and I have been unable to write during these long months of the deepest, darkest, most frightening physical and emotional trials I have ever lived through and I have been doing this for a very, very, long time. I can handle more than even I can imagine. This however was a whole other level. There were many days and nights I thought I would not make it.
I could say I was fighting for my life but in truth all I wanted was to give up, to get out, to go home. This was a truly hellish experience, like nothing I have ever traversed before. I will leave it at that but I know many of you have been going through your own dark night. I continue to write here because of all the messages I receive telling me how much it helps others going through their own trials and if this can help even one person then I must continue to share my experience.
This morning when contemplating my dream I heard the words “The Shift” and knew I was to go out and photograph the energies of The Shift. I share it with the hope that you can feel that we are coming into a new way of being. I do not know if as individuals we have more to go through at that unbearable level as we continue to transmute not only for ourselves but for the collective but I do feel the light shining through after a very dark time. We are here and we continue on. We are so much more and we are doing so much more than we ever know.
I know the energies in this image, so divinely given, radiate out and aid us in making the Grandest Shift of All.
I wish you LOVE and PEACE and most of all I wish you HOPE.
In the light,
Gail

when how you feel
expresses itself in the Heavens
all is made one
for a moment in time
for richer for poorer
in sickness and in health
I think the priest
should have screamed that part
and then we should have screamed
for what was to come
for us both
but we went smiling
down the aisle
and into our uncertain future
full of hope….
it feels as though we have lived many lives
each chapter a different life
some so beautiful it was like a dream
some so heartbreaking we barely survived
if we could travel back
the babies would be
our finest hour
beautiful round faces
and fat little thighs
eyes of wisdom
saving angels
but now the house is still
as we sit across the table
with not a single distraction
in the quiet of the room
as we turn to one another
no strangers do we see
just the boy and just the girl
who made a young sweet promise
on a long ago perfect day in May
little did we know
that the beauty of the vow
would be a gift from heaven
of a love that knows no bounds
The Heart of Love
