"Follow your bliss - Live your quest!" - OJO -
Yesterday was one of those days that fills the heart with such profound stirrings of bliss, the kind that brings forth tears of joy and exhalations of love.
A journey to Chichen Itza for the viewing of the serpent.
I have been on this quest for several years now, since a 'calling' came to me in the Spring of 2009 and all parts of my being 'knew' I needed to get there. Each year the circumstances have kept the experience from arriving, and as I have come to understand, the energy of the serpent remains, it is above the clouds or rain and even in absence it is there!
But yesterday the serpent of light appeared! People from all over the world come to join and experience this glorious event that forms before sunset on the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes in the land of the Maya. This spectacular appearance occurs for a few days around the actual date of the equinox (just in case you think it happens only on that date and you may miss it).
Waiting patiently as the grass area surrounding the great pyramid of Kukulkan began filling with people, the skies remained with intermittent clouds.....then the winds came in gusts and the sun shone to reveal what we were there to see.

| We wait....... |
There was a moment where all of a sudden I felt so complete and so at One with All, that my heart felt as big as the universe itself, the tears came filled with love for this gift. I cannot even possibly begin to explain what I felt, yet that is what it was.....feeling......all of the experience was about feeling - beyond seeing the serpent's shadow and light image, hearing the crowd clapping, praying and the conch being sounded, the scent of sage & copal burning in the air, the taste of water on the palette, touching the grass and earth beneath me or the emotion of love surrounding us.
The 'feeling ' was beyond all I have know.
I suppose now my quest could be considered over, but I think really it has just now begun!
