Harvesting a Rainbow

It had been a long drive overland USA this time, another cross-country speaking tour for Rainbow Peacewalker, the visionary lightworker who introduced Dynamic Peace to humanity and helped midwife it into material form. At age forty-three she had asked the universe to give her a risk, and the universe had quietly answered, "Rainbow Peacewalker." She knew that name from some time and place before her birth on earth. She understood that now was the time for her to take that name, to become all that the name implied. That name carried a whole new paradigm with it. It whirled her into a spiritual awakening and pilgrimage period that took her away from the village for years, and opened her to the healing, clairvoyant, empathic and telepathic abilities shared with all the other lightworkers on earth at that time, who were preparing humanity and the planet for its shift into the age of peace.

Now ninety-three, Rainbow Peacewalker surveyed the village she had helped to become a planetary peace generator. The greenbelt surrounding the village proper supported wildwood and orchards, grain fields and truck garden, as well as a farm-and-garden folkschool. The village composting-toilet sewage recycling operation, located in the greenbelt, provided fertilizer for orchards and grain fields. The village grey water recycling marsh was a tremendous asset, much appreciated by villagers and also by the many students of "conscious villageness" who came to study there. At that time on the planet, water had come to be valued as more precious than gold or jewels - so that any organic water purification method was considered to be of the utmost importance.

The village inside the greenbelt contained three chicken-breath greenhouses which supplied villagers with healthy greens and bright flowers during the cold grey months. They provided, as well, eggs from the carbon-dioxide producing hens, and fish grown in the solar-collecting water tanks. There were several co-housing neighborhoods, each built around a garden-park. Each neighborhood had a shared pantry, food preserving equipment, and communal kitchens, all part of the neighborhood gathering-halls. the halls were used for frequent shared meals, meetings, and occasions. That particular day, Rainbow Peacewalker attended an afternoon memorial service in the South-End co-housing neighborhood's gathering hall; that evening, she danced at a wedding in the gathering hall of the Northeast neighborhood.

There were little shops in the co-housing neighborhoods, selling and trading goods related to the specialty of each. One neighborhood kept the village beehives, jarring honey and collecting wax for villagers' use. Another neighborhood housed the village kombucha works. Another neighborhood was famed for its butter and cheeses. Still another neighborhood edited and produced the village magazine, THE VOLLEGE, which had become a national voice, educating the whole nation in the values and practices of conscious villageness sustainable lifestyles. There were some larger shops catering to visitors in the village downtown, along with the post office, library, elementary school, and the all-religions Sanctuary and general meeting hall.

The village had now reached a high-enough vibrational level to become a generator of dynamic peace. There were dedicated village and bioregional peace meditators; there were neighborhood peace councils as well as a village peace council, which sent a representative to the eight bioregional peace council meetings each year. The whole of humanity was now in a state of self-government by means of bioregional peace councils. The age of peace was well on its way, now. Rainbow Peacewalker could rest, at last.

It was finished. Her job was done, her lifework was complete; she had passed the messages and tasks and the energy for the works of peace along to everyone who had asked. She had initiated many into the ways of gathering energy and using their purified intention and will-to-good to manifest works of peace, and to vibrate individually and in groups as peace generators. There were now, planet-wide, many sisterhoods and brotherhoods making up the mature, empowered Matriarchy and Patriarchy, functioning together in complementary opposition as the great engine of Dynamic Peace. 

There were also Matriots, or stewards of the Great-Hold [the planet and all beings] - to complement the Patriots, or guardians of the Small-Hold [state and national property and boundary regulations.] There was a global constitution whose bottom line was the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The work of Rainbow Peacewalker and the ranks on ranks of Lightworkers was in good order.

Late in the evening, she went to the grove of trees which the village called the "Peace Library," and sat down beneath the Central Tree. Over the years, that Tree had merged consciousness with Rainbow Peacewalker many, many times, giving her new energy and information as she required it for the outworking of her great vision of peace on earth. Now the Tree and Rainbow Peacewalker merged consciousness again, and the old woman breathed in one last breath of the Central Tree's gift of oxygen; and she, in turn, gave the Tree her last out-breath of carbon dioxide.

When Rainbow Peacewalker's lifeless form was discovered seated in meditation pose under the Central Tree in the morning of the day following the memorial and the wedding, the village took a deep, collective breath. The elders gathered and began to organize the proceedings for her leave-taking celebration. It would be different than usual. There would be no cremation or burial since, by afternoon, there was nothing left of the peacewalker's body but a rainbow.
