Grace Heralds

On October 6, 2025,
With the brilliance of the full moon🌙 commemorating
The anniversary of my daughter’s birth,
Grace presented Herself wholly,
Welcoming us as her stewards henceforth.

Faith led us here,
As that name was bestowed upon
‘Āina in Ha’iku, Maui,
The land that fell away in the 11th hour in 2022,
After Faith, presented Herself to Andrew
Via a night-time dream.

Faith led us to Grace.
And now, Grace has chosen us as her next stewards,
With our vow to co-create with Her.
May we Listen with the ears of our hearts
And do her bidding
As she raises our consciousness
Through the practice of Living Harmoniously,
Be it with the Nature imbuing Her,
To the tending of coffee, citrus, banana, plantain, and more
Abounding upon her soils,
To the humans residing upon this chosen tierra.

It has been a long gestation –
Nearly 11 months since conception,
Having begun 11/11/24
(The birth anniversary of our coffee farm manager, Arturo),
With the agreement for the tierra’s purchase.

How appropriate to have received the news
Of our stewardship
From our Panamanian legal team
While walking her shores.
We can now walk her openly
And create freely
After having been stifled these last few months
With the delay in closing escrow.

Unbeknownst to us with our envisioning
Of Community upon this land,
Would be coffee production and the sharing of
Residency with indigenous peoples,
Yet, this seems to be exactly
What is being asked.
During this first week of our stewardship,
Arturo and those Knöbe
Who will work with Arturo and reside on the land,
Have been cleaning and preparing their new home.
These are rather crude dwellings,
That will be upgraded with time.
It is as though we have instant family:
Arturo, his wife, and their three sons,
Along with a couple of Knöbe families,
Those indigenous peoples of Panamá,
Who will be maintaining the 22,000 coffee trees
Under Arturo’s wonderful care and management skills.

With the uncompromising fundamental principles for
Co-creating on this tierra being:
Resonance and Alignment amidst co-creators,
Freedom in expression,
And Integrity by each and every one,
We hold fast to the vision for
Harmonious Community Collaboration
Amidst the Beauty and Bounty of Nature.

We stand in utter Awe
With the gift of stewardship
Of this wonderfully wild
And stunningly Beautiful land.
We recognize her choosing of us,
As we most certainly heeded her call.

Grace heralds us forth,
providing the many opportunities for growth
That can only but, be present.
We thank Source for the opportunity to
BE in service, fully,
For the game of the millennium💫
