Greetings courageous and steadfast Divine Creative Heroes and Heroines,
October has arrived, and the water is not still. The movement this month is happening within and all around us, in more noticeable waves. October is the month we row.
This month’s frequencies invite one clear knowing: storms are not a sign we missed the path. They are the water where we take our stroke. Courage in these times is not the absence of wind, thundering skies, or stirrings of sediment from the deep. Courage in these times is staying at the oars.
Thus Garden Insights #18 is aptly titled — Courage in the Storms. The still point is not out beyond the weather. It lives within. Ruach is already breathing us through every unfoldment, and every moment. The vibrational oars were never missing. They were waiting for the next intuitively guided, consciously taken stroke.
Four Wise Teachers walk with us this month. God Patriots of the First Fire hold up American heroes and heroines as key mirrors of our own journeys now today. We are the God Patriots of this Ascension Decade. The first fire from the 1700’s revolutionary times is still in our hands, even when those hands are weary.
Through Elara’s October journey, we feel the pull of changing times, the howl of doubt, and then the remembering: take the stroke. Remembering Home Again is not only a shore. It is the Garden already living in our hearts.
Along the way — through these great teachings and powerful patriot mirrors — we stay with the fire. We know the wound is not the pearl. Untransmuted gold is not rubble. The inner-sighted lotus rises from dark water. Weariness means nearly there — not washed away. Today’s challenges and triggers provide the fuel for our vibrational locomotion and the declaration of reclamation of our True Light.
Dr. Terry Cole-Whittaker’s words from Dare to Be Great return as an invitation into effective prayer. Two meditations — Forged Through Faith and Endurance, and Vibrational Oars — sit beside 17 original soul songs, from October Calls to Forged Through Faith.
In this month’s two-part series, I share Garden Insights #18, Elara’s message, the teachers and the first-fire mirrors, and the full October soul-song playlist. Row with them today, through the month, or any time the wind and thunders stir, and you need a deep divine breath.
So take the stroke. Keep the faithful way. You are already held in the life you seek.
Welcome to October, beautiful souls.
The Living Garden is within you now.
In October, we row.
Rememberingly Yours,
Marie 🚣♀️🪷
