NE Corner, 11/14/2021 – I’m celebrating now to extend the season. It’s already beautiful with nothing planned but “to be myself,” choosing whatever I want to do. All my dreams are hung on the tree. (That was the first and only clean corner of a small over-crowded apartment.)
Love that Inspires Creation
The Ancient of Days was inspired by Love to create the story of our life. One Highest Source of Divine Wisdom conceived the tapestry of a Life of meaning and purpose that unfolded over Time. The Masterpiece would begin from a dark canvas of the Unknown, where, one-by-one, the strokes of Light would reveal the Beauty in the contrast of an ending beyond imagination.
The life of Humanity is an epic story that was meant to unfold over generations. Heroes whose names would be lost to the past would be principle characters who carried the Light of Faith to the Creator’s unexpected end. Every mystery author attempts to reveal a Truth all-along without giving away the end, so that disassociated parts can be drawn into a new and meaningful whole.
Christmas time in 2021 is etched into my memory as a season of my darkest days. I began the celebration early after the November loss of my beloved companion, Shadow, a senior cat I’d rescued from the shelter 7 years before. Nobody wanted her. I didn’t want her. Hers was the face front and center on the shelter’s home page every time I went there to explore the possibilities, after the lost of two cats that survived 19 years, adopted as kittens. They were irreplaceable for the memories shared by the whole family.
I had a clear plan for the next family pet. The replacement couldn’t be an older cat. I’d just seen two cats where lives lingered far too long through an end of suffering. It couldn’t be a long-hair, after the challenges of an aging matting-hair cat. Shadow was everything I didn’t want. I’d visited the shelter website many times and she was always there, front and center of the home page. Her face was barely visible against her long-haired tortoiseshell coat. Her eyes were the only visible feature on her face – when they were open.
As another Christmas was near, a Santa promotion led me to make a personal trip to the shelter to review the available inventory. Shadow occupied the first cage in the room, eyes open with a tenuous blank stare. As I moved down the line I noticed that the rest of the cats had resided there for a few weeks. Shadow had been waiting for over 3 months. Her rap-sheet included health concerns and litterbox issues. Nobody wanted her. She’d been passed around from one family home to another – abandoned 5 times – to homes where other pets held the position of authority. Nobody wanted me either. I had to take her home.
It takes time for a senior cat to realize they have found a forever home. The first days she came out of hiding, she stared at me from across the room. Though, she loved every gift I brought home like she’d never had one before. There were no litterbox issues. She became the perfect cat and I was committed to creating the golden years she never knew. I loved waiting on her and she loved the attention.
Her end was heartbreaking. After 7 beautiful years together she ran to me and died in my arms. It was a week before I could bear to take her to her cremation. She changed me. I wanted to be home for another unwanted senior cat who deserved to be the one-and-only. She was replaced by Girlie, another long-hair senior cat.
Christmas became a season of life after death. By the Christmas of 2021, I had suffered too long to see any other meaning and purpose for my own life. Early lights on a Christmas tree was an attempt to hang on through my own darkest days. I wished I could end it all, but knowing I could never lay that burden on future generations. I existed between a rock and a hard place.
That Christmas I had no way of knowing that by January 11, 2022 I would sign a contract on a home 2,000 miles away. I would have never imagined I’d pack up my life all by myself at 71, and cross mountains in blizzard conditions to reach the end. The means and the way was a miracle that happened overnight on December 31, 2021.
I learned again that a new location doesn’t change who we are. But, the Faith it took to get home changed me. God became my one-and-only place of peace beyond all understanding. Here “I am” again in another season of darkness, waiting for the Dawn of a New Awakening.
I’m not the only one. Others have suffered more. We’ve all been through our darkest days. Human life is a journey that leads back and forth from the darkness to the hope of a new beginning. Through it all, one Miracle after another, the ends of Light have always been brighter than the ones before.
Matthew 22:37 KJV
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
The Greatest Commandment Jesus shared is the Way that engages every dimension of Human life. The heart is the center of our will. The Soul is our life force and identity; and, our Mind is the faculty for discernment and understanding.
In the trecena of Deer/MANIK we engage the 4th dimension as an application of our strength to live in daily obedience and service for a Divine Cause. The Mission is to share the Light of Faith for anyone who would choose to follow.

Greetings Beloved Kin,
Monkey/CHUEN is the Master Artist that is inspired by Love to create the end of the story. Tone 5 represents the Intention of Empowerment.
The story is passed down through the Seed of every generation. The end was waiting for the Seed of the Savior that would carry Faith from the beginning to the end of the story that is meant to be.
There’s no way to know until the end if we’re the final Seed that will personify the Love of the Christ Spirit. But, we can choose to be one who is dedicated to turn to the Light every Day… and to forgive the unforgivable ways we are when all hope is lost.
We are inspired by Love with every trip we make to an altar in a sanctuary within… if only we will choose to Live to see another Day. We can’t imagine the end of the story the Creator has in store. We are lost heirs to a throne to be found in the end.
11:11 A Divine Wake-up Call
CHUEN holds Position 11. The 11th month creates the symbol 11:11. Master Number 11 represents the Source and Substance of Divine Inspiration. We’re inspired by Deer/MANIK to dedicate our Hand in Faith to a Mission to Forgive. We are Empowered by the Holy Spirit to remember Love will find its way.
John 1:5 KJV
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
At an altar we’ll remember all the Miracles we’ve seen before.
love, in lak’ech, “i am another you”

PRAYERS FROM THE FIFTH WATCH – ASK FOR HELP AS YOU START THE DAY
The next time you’re Called to Pray, refer to the 8 Watches by the Time of Day. The Bible refers to Watchers from Above (‘iyr in Hebrew) in Daniel 4:13, 17, 23. We’re called to our prayers by high-ranking angelic beings sent from heaven to observe and execute divine decrees. “Behold, he that keepeth our Soul shall neither slumber nor sleep.” You may find the reason you were praying by the watch of the Day.
THE EIGHT WATCHES
Night Watch
- First Watch: 6 pm – 9 pm – Contemplation and laying foundations in prayer.
- Second Watch: 9 pm – 12 am – Intercessory prayer for protection of ourselves and those around us
- Third Watch: 12 am – 3 am – Spiritual warfare (We are covered by the blood of Jesus.)
- Fourth Watch: 3 am – 6 am – Prophetic prayer because you are commanding your morning with prophetic decrees and declaring God’s word
Day Watch
- Fifth Watch: 6 am – 9 am – Petitions. Ask for strength and surrender. Ask for the Holy Spirit to help you before you start your day
- Sixth Watch: 9 am – 12 pm – Thanksgiving prayer
- Seventh Watch : 12 pm – 3 pm – This is the seventh watch of rest. 7 Biblically represents that. This is a time to seek God in the secret place
- Eighth Watch: 3 pm – 6 pm – This is the eight and final watch of the night and a time for prayer for revival and renewal. Symbolically, Christ died at 3 pm.

5 Monkey/CHUEN (Cherokee, Raccoon/KVH’LI) – Day 5 of 13 of the 1 Deer/MANIK trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 5: Empowerment. At the center of the cube we find Five. Five is an intelligent, organizing force which manages communications and materials, knowledge and application. Fives are natural net workers who gather what is needed. These persons can probe directly to the core of any situation making them excellent investigators.
Monkey/CHUEN: Monkey is known to the Maya as the Weaver or Weaver of Time. Monkey takes ideas as threads of vines and weaves them into the fabric of our reality. New patterns or inventions are also woven into our lives by Monkey. Amiable, intelligent, generous and a jack of all trades, Monkey’s innocent curiosity leads to artistic expression and constructive solutions. Many Monkeys become highly respected merchants or speakers. They love performing practical jokes and crave attention, so much so that they may over-act or play the fool to get the spotlight. Monkeys have a short attention span and find it difficult to stay with anything long enough to master it.
A GOOD DAY TO: Begin anything new in your life.
Cherokee, Raccoon/KVH’LI: Star Symbol: Algol, a star in Perseus. Restless energy yearning for long-lost love. Algol was named DEMON STAR or MISCHIEVOUS ONE by the Ancients because it winks and fades at times. Raccoons are full of friendly mischief, eager to swap kisses for candy; magnetic leaders, full of humor and gaiety. Favorite food is corn, the mainstay of the Cherokee. Very artistic while being the “masked bandit” who steals your heart. Totem Monkey: The energy of humor, the artisan and craftsmen of the Universal energy. Helps us to lighten up in all situations, was the glyph of the 4th world creation in conjunction with OC so that we would have humor in all of our endeavors. The humor, when added to a serious situation will allow you to have a less destructive pattern of resolution. This is the “Cosmic joke” energy to help us transcend the duality. A life path of comedian, actor, artist, artisan writer, satirist, any path is enhanced with this humor in conjunction with the creative energies.
