I was surprised by my experience at the Wailing Wall.
As soon as I entered through the Gates, my 2-year-old son (at the time) Ocean started crying. This is not something he usually does so his tears took me by surprise. I remember thinking that maybe he had gotten hurt but that was not the case. In tears, he asked me to pick him up. As soon as I put him in my arms, I started sobbing. I mean full-on, mascara running down my face. We just held eachother. I had no idea what was happening and why we were both crying.
And then we took a few more steps into the area of the Wailing Wall and I realized why we were so emotional. It was the Wall. The energetics of all of the tears, prayers, wars, reconciliations, and other things that I have no idea have even happened here.
I walked to the Wall, carrying folded papers as I watched others do. These pages full of prayers for friends, my beloved, myself, and the Earth as a whole. I bundled them up and placed them amongst the thousands of other rolled up papers. Leaned my head in, surrounded by women sobbing, praying, calling forth the same thing, in different languages and religions. And I sobbed more. All the dreams, desires, wants that we each share rising through me and into the stones.
I felt the whole world surrounding me. Calling forth a New Humanity. Or maybe it is an Ancient Ancient One.
And the stones.... ahh, my beloved stone beings. They hold it all. Effortlessly, generously, powerfully. I could feel the Stones speaking to me... sharing so much through the thousands of years standing there.
And then I was told to collect the Essence of that space and wall, that of prayer and hope that I'm honored to now offer to you.
May we ingest this Essence and offer forth our Great Pryers for the Upliftment of All Beings.
