Come Egypt

Preface

The journey to Egypt was a life changing experience. Flashbacks floating down the Nile River embraced me with memories bubbling in the solitude of a river's flow. With each day I was caught in the moment of a revelation of connection through time and space. My muse challenged me to capture my visions and wrap words around what I was seeing, feeling, hearing throughout the landscape that tickled and teased my soul. I felt a wave of redemption bathe my soul in the light of humility and the blessing of an eagle's vision.

This collection rides on the waves of past lives that grabbed me in the reverent walks through the temples and tombs of a regal civilization and my connection to that landscape and people of that era. This was a growth opportunity on my personal journey into a window of time. The stories on the walls gave me lights of understanding to move my learning curve forward. The recognition that every encounter is an opportunity to expand our consciousness is a gift. Enlightenment comes in subtle ways. Every breath, every step, every thought, every utterance from the temple and tomb walls sent messages to me at every moment I was ready to receive the voice of ancient tongues.

I float in gratitude for the exposure to this ancient history that weighed heavily on my heart strings. I felt the load of a civilization rising from the sand in my dreams and meditations across a two-week time span of now that floated back 4000 plus years. My muse is still singing and dancing to the unveiled lyrics of ancient Egypt. The power of Spirit to call us out is available to all souls. Each of us is a messenger and a seeker on different pathways to our destination. Our experiences and reactions are individually different. Those differences are tools for learning and growth when we embrace the writing of others. May you be moved by the intensity of my time travel shapeshifting between the land of Egypt and my beloved New Mexico home.

I pay homage to the eleven souls and our tour guide who shared this journey with me and the everlasting bond we made in the heat of the Egyptian Desert and the royal comfort of our Egyptian yacht. Each one of us assimilated knowledge in our own personal way. But the laughter we shared and the moments of awesome recognition of the power of what we saw melded our energy in positive memories.
