When the Soul Opens Wide...

...I cried

Stepping into the crystal blue waters of the Sea of Cortez...

I felt my soul open wide...

As I just shared, I cried...

Yet, it was far deeper than this...

It was an experience so profound...

A feeling so deep...

That all I could do was weep...

There is something magical about steping into the sea...

Especially in waters so warm, so comforting...

An evelopment of love surrounds you...

The gift of bouyancy from the high saline content...

The waters feel as silk upon the skin...

And they seem to reach far within...

One can close their eyes...

Or open them so wide...

To only stare at the amazingly clear blue skys...

The smell of the sea...

The warm air...

The occasional cactus tree...

All of this can bring one to their knees...

Can bring you to the threshold of your soul...

There is no escape...

All of these wondrous gifts upon you bestow...

The opening of your soul...

From then, new terrain is yours to explore...

The TERRAIN OF YOUR SOUL...

What this looks like...

I have yet to know...

For I am embarking upon new waters...

That healing waters launched...

The healing waters of the Sea of Cortez...

I do know this, for this new journey...

I must be staunch...

For the soul is not a play toy...

The soul comprises of all that we are and ever were...

Courage, bravery, and new eyes...

To look deep in the waters in order to fully mature...

Mature into ourselves...

Mature into our humanity...

Mature into our origins divine...

Together we can all do this with full certainty...

BE READY...FOR NOW IS THE TIME...

I wish to thank all of my wonderful readers for reading these simple writings of mine. All that I share comes from a place within me that is pure and true, and I am so privileged to share with all of you.

May peace, love, and joy reign upon us all...

All my love as always,
Maria Juarez Beam

Baja California, Mexico...PURE BEAUTY: A Poem

Mi Mexico, Mi Baja...

Beauty inexplicable...

Comparable to nada...
 (nothing)

The beauty of the landscape...

The beauty of the people...

One cannot escape...


The beauty of simplicity...




The wonders of the food...!

Tacos! Tacos!Tacos...!

Ay, que deliciosos!

Fish so fresh daily...

This is fish...? Oh, no, oh no...

How could it be...!?

Yet, it is, and it melts in the mouth...

And the love that you witness...

From the beautiful people to our South...

The love in which they catch the fish...

The love in which they are so rich...

The love in which infuses the air...

The love in which removes all despair...

MI CASA ES TU CASA...

Are truly the words in which my people live by...

We here in the US of A could learn so much...

From such enormous hearts & enormous love...

From living with simplicity...

With grace as the touch...

My beloved gente de Mexico...

De Baja California...

I give all my thanks from the depths of my being...

For bestowing upon me your kindness...

Your strength...

For never showing blindness...

I thank you for goodness...

For love...

You are people who truly live with hearts from our God above...

My soul has been touched in ways...

I never would have imagined...

I am forever transformed...

Beyond all comprehension to the human brain...

Only within the human heart...

The human soul...

Could one understand from which all is now depart...

For a Maria reborn has embarked...

Upon new shores inside my very core...






I share this poem tonight, yet it is only a short testament to all that I experienced on my trip to Baja. I had to come back early in which another post I will explain. Tonight, I simply desired to share with all of my wonderful & most faithful, lovely readers of BeamtheLightBetheChange, a small dose of the beauty in which I was gifted.

I shall write more and share a few more pics within the next few days for I truly desire to share with you more of what I gained, of what I experienced. It was more than I could have ever imagined prior to my leaving.

I thank you all so much for being a part of Being the Light and Being the Change...We are BEAMING together! ;)

My love to all,
Maria Juarez Beam

Exploring Your Soul...Is it time...?

Our Souls...

What truly does our soul comprise of...?

I have been exploring this question for many nights...

I have been feeling my soul...

I have felt it bleed...

This I never realized to be possible...

I felt the soul to be invincible...

Protected...

Impermeable...

Unpenatratable...


I have found this untrue...

At least for my soul...

It is as delicate as a new rose bud...

I have been mending my heart for so long...

I believe that my soul decided to call to me...

Wait, to scream to me...

To bleed inside of me...

Pay attention...listen...your soul is calling...

My soul has been broken...

It needs to mend...

I would have never imagined this to be...

Yet, here I write, think, talk, walk, breath...

With a soul in need...

In need of me to listen...

To pay close attention...

To realize that it now time to explore my soul...

Perhaps it is your time as well...

Perhaps you already have...

Perhaps you haven't touched upon the needs of your soul...

As with me...

EXPLORE the Soul...

Walk with me in this journey...

Together we may discover uncharted territory...

Or territory long forgotten...

Reach out to yourself...

to your beautiful soul...

Together we may transform ourselves & our world...

What a lovely thought...

What an amazing delight...

Will you walk with me hand in hand...

Soul in soul...?

I do hope so...:)

Fear it not...

OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITIES...:)

A Time for a New Life...A Poem/Revised

Just as this Milk Weed...

All life needs to be sowed...

If not...then a person's heart needs to be freed...

It is now my time to fly...

It is now my time to begin my new life...

This if very difficult for me you see...

For all I have ever known is how to live for another...

Yet, now...it is my time to be free...

To take this step has been quite frightening...

As if inside there is a bolt of lightning...

Yet, this bolt has sparked a fire...

And this fire needs to be fed...

This heart of mine needs more time to mend...

This body of mine needs more time to heal...

My soul needs to be fulfilled...

By only ways that I can lead myself to feel...

Every night I get upon my knees and kneel...

I kneel before the alter of my God...

I kneel before the calling of the wind...

It whispers to me within...

"It is time Maria...it is time to come in..."

"Come into your new life..."

"Step into my waters..."

"You shall be salved..."

"You shall be balmed..."

"Then once again..."

"You can return to this world..."

"Fully new and fully whole..."

"To give the gifts that only YOU can give..."

My dear lovely family here at BeamtheLightBetheChange...

I wanted to share with you some words that came directly from my heart to share with all of you. I leave on August 17th for Baja Norte, Mexico. I first go on an eight day Eco Tour. It will be eight days on a bus with others from the country and around the world. We shall go to the Sea of Cortez, the Pacific Ocean, Indian Caves to see thousand year old paintings, we will travel the diversity of the deserts of Baja, and swim with gentle Whale Sharks.

This shall begin my very spiritual healing and balming of my heart and soul. After the eight day journey I shall choose a peaceful, yet very Mexican place to live in Baja or possibly Central Mexico. I plan to walk the sea, the ocean, explore the desert, and to heal, heal, heal. I also plan to work with orphans and animals as I get stronger, for they, too, shall be just as needed by me as I of them...I believe that they shall be my new salvation.

I want to share so much more, but at this time I shall leave you with what I have shared. My heart is full of tears that I wish to shed for my sons far away, for my husband passed away, for those suffering in this world, and for me. I am human and I hurt. I miss everyone so much and I need sometime for myself and I need some time to begin giving my heart again to those whom are so in need of love...children & animals...what a gift! Blessings and beautiful love to all of you.

Always yours,

Maria Juarez Beam :)

Paz y Amor...

P.S. I AM NOT GOING AWAY FROM MY BLOG PERHAPS FOR A TIME BEING TO SOAK UP THE SUN AND TO SOAK UP MY JOURNEY, YET I WILL BE SHARING IT ALL WITH YOU. I WILL BE BACK WITH ALL OF YOU BEFORE I LEAVE...P Y A, MARIA

The Winds of Change...Over the Bay

I find life to be an amazing adventure that never ceases to amaze me. Tonight at Beam the Light Be the Change I will share with you a few words and a pictorial of the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area.

I grew up in Hayward, California which is considered part of what comprises the East Bay Area. I have returned here for a short time after my healing journey in Iowa. Hometowns change just as much as life does, but the memories that you retain, remain unchanged, and forever within your heart.

I met with a dear sweet friend from High School today...she is BEAUTIFUL! We hadn't seen one another in over 30 years...WOW! We had the most wonderful time together over a three hour lunch. :) Thank you my sweet, lovely Allison.

I will be here for only a few more short weeks and then this Maria will be off again for her next leg of a healing journey...of course, this will be a part of my series. This little writing is a prelude to my bit of healing journey back in Hayward and then I will be moving on to Baja California, Mexico and from there, hopefully, onto Central Mexico, which reminds me, I STILL need to finish my piece on Queretero and Central Mexico. I have been so busy preparing for my leaving to Mexico that I simply haven't had so much time to write.

I will wrap this up here. I want to share with you before I head to bed, my walk that I go on almost every early evening up in the Hayward Hills. Not only does it keep me in shape, it is stunning with views, and is very good for my heart and my soul. So with all of this said, I shall now leave you with a song and a pictorial of my walks...:)

May peace and love always shine upon us. My love to all of you who read my simple, but straight from the heart writings...paz y amor, Maria Juarez Beam...

I chose this particular song because I loved the 5th Dimension growing up in Hayward, I believe in peace & love, and because it is quite apropos for "Beam the Light Be the Change" with "Let the Sunshine In" ;)

Always yours,
