Into the Canyon Came Love - Message from Sirius

It is that time of year when our brightest star Sirius is with the Sun and I am mindful of the vision given me in 2009 while lying by Havasu Canyon's beautiful blue waterfall. I had been invited by an aqaintance to hike this more remote western end of the Grand Canyon home of the Havasupai. Traditionally the Havasupai were considered the Guardians of the Grand Canyon. The tribe in 1919 was restricted to the area into which we hiked when the national park was designated.


Each afternoon we'd make our way through the campground to the cool blue water, the gathering place of many campers in the mid-day heat. To the Havasupai these waters were healing and sacred.  Knowing this created tension for me as hikers often climbed the rocks and jumped turning these sacred grounds into a water park. Yet I would lie on my towel immersed in the sounds of the falls and the people around me. The second day I was given this vision.

At first I was shown a five-pointed star. Then a ramp like someone would walk down rolled from the star's center.  The star's edges then took a cloud-like shape and the star became a heart.  Slowly the heart separated into pieces and vanished.

I turned this over and over in my mind so as to not forget the symbols amidst the surrounding noise and distractions. I intuitively sensed I had been shown Sirius but didn't know why nor did I really know anything about Sirius.

As I recorded what I had seen in my journal, I was joined by a dog. I called to his owners as they played cards on their nearby blanket and asked his name.

"Moses," they shared.

As soon as I heard "Moses" I knew I had seen Sirius for I remembered Sirius has been called the  "Dog Star" by many cultures.* This four-legged, friendly confirmation affirmed my inner knowing.

I kept this vision pondering its message and realized:

Into the canyon, Love came. 

From the void where all appeared dark, Love came from the stars 
and Love on Earth was born. 

Love came from the Stars to dwell in our bodies, minds, spirits and hearts. 

And now I know Sirius bathes us with Love especially this time of year when joined by the Sun. 

The heavens engage with Earth and us. Is it accidental the Founding Fathers chose this time of year when the Sun is with Sirius for the signing of the Declaration of Independence? They knew the stars, planets, moon and sun dance with Earth and affect all of us. 

Today as I've reflected on this vision I've thought more about the canyon into which Love comes. The canyon at times is internal when we are so very distant from parts of ourselves and neglect who we can become. At times the canyon is between people, loved ones, family members, and friends. At times the canyon is between those who on the outside appear so different from us. A canyon filled with suspicion, fear and mistrust is born of those differences and yet internally we are so much more alike than different.

The canyon whether within or between holds the energy of Love. 

I imagine a shift in which Earth's people remember every living thing is Love, Love come from the Stars. 

*Today in July's Celestial Timings from Cayelin Castell I read: "The Taoists see the Sun as a gateway, so in this case the Sun is opening the door to the Sirius mysteries. The ancient Chinese saw Sirius as a heavenly wolf. In Sumeria, Babylonia, and Chaldea (present day Iraq) Sirius was known as the "Dog Star that Leads."
