Hi Virtual Capitol Visitors!
It was absolutely g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s in Sacramento today – wowwww! Clear skies and about 70 degrees! I strolled along the walkways and really took it all in….the scent of orange blossoms seemed to be everywhere! I almost married an orange tree! Several tree-beings waived me down for photo-shoots and I happily obliged. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.
Today, I wore black pants and a bright blue shirt and chose to use the same entrance into the Capitol as yesterday. It was all new security people so I wasted a good disguise! (Ha!) I went straight to the Assembly Chamber which had been closed yesterday. There was no one else in the gallery so it was extremely peaceful. This Chamber is soooo beautiful! As I have shared in previous posts, the décor is largely different hues of green. It feels calm and “down-to-earth.” I sense a kind of integrity that would be “sealed with a handshake.” I sat quite awhile with my eyes closed, sensing complete stillness and finally planting a cluster of “seeds.” There were 4 individual yet interconnected “seeds” ….authenticity….clarity….truth….courage…. Individually, and as a group, my intent was that these “seeds” make it easier to follow one’s own guidance system and to “break away from the herd” when necessary. When I left the gallery, I chose to believe that a State of EMERGEnce had been planted and was already “sprouting.”
Next, I entered the Senate gallery. Once again, I found myself alone and in complete silence. There is such a different “feel” in this room…the reds, pinks and salmons….George Washington…a sense of honor….stateliness….integrity….legal documents…. declarations….. resolutions ….I closed my eyes, took a few deep breaths and repeated the same process as I had completed in the Assembly …..authenticity….clarity…..truth…..courage….I took these words in for myself as well - such powerful words spoken in silence make for an incredible experience. I was humbled by what I felt. I left the Senate in a state of peace…
After taking a few pictures of the rotunda, I left the building and took the opportunity to snuggle with a few of the benches lining the various pathways. The views were exquisite, the scents divine – if I had brought a sleeping bag, flashlight and a few SNACKS I might have stayed the night! Unfortunately, I was unprepared for such spontaneity and my GPS was suggesting another course so I headed for my car and set my intent….on Round Table Pizza.
Until tomorrow…
