There is a season for everything,

and a time for every affair under the heavens.

A time to give birth, and a time to die;

a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.

A time to kill, and a time to heal;

a time to tear down, and a time to build.

A time to weep, and a time to laugh;

a time to mourn, and a time to dance.

A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them;

a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.

A time to seek, and a time to lose;

a time to keep, and a time to cast away.

A time to rend, and a time to sew;

a time to be silent, and a time to speak.

A time to love, and a time to hate;

a time of war, and a time of peace.

Ecclesiastes 3, 1-8

Today is the Day of the Discovery of Puerto Rico, also known by me as “the Jibarito Luz Day”. Congratulations to all those who can celebrate being a Jibarito Luz and a state of new albor, a growthful state.

I wrote in the last blog post that the final revision of “Yes, We Can Grow Best!” was expected to be done for Thanksgiving. Well, it was planned to be shared today from the very first moment, but I preferred to remain silent about that moment. It is the first time I successfully attempted to complete two editorial revisions at the same time: today I finished the editorial revision of “Goeiz,” a children´s growthful story, and also completed the editorial revision and sharing of the text I am sharing in this post, “Yes, We Can Grow Best: Keys for a Growthful Philosophy of Education.” “Goeiz” will now go on to creative revision; “Yes, We Can Grow Best!” is ready to be shared now.

It was chosen to complete both revisions today because both texts are dedicated to Puerto Rican children: the first one is dedicated to all Puerto Rican children; the second one is dedicated to my students, who are Puerto Rican children too.

For someone as creative as me, it can sometimes be very hard to wait for the proper time to act. It can be even harder to not share the exact time of sharing something, but I am upon the flaming Holy Spirit´s orders.

So… surprise! Here you have “Yes, We Can Grow Best!”, a few days before than you would have expected it.

In yesterday´s dream, I was dressed in the Jibarita Luz flag dress, and in today´s dream, I was dressed in the transconsecrated Jibarita Luz dress (all white, with transconsecrated splashes, but only of metallic new albor tones; the transconsecration colors were in the bow of the bouquet, not in the dress). Yesterday’s flower bouquet was a rainbow roses bouquet with a magical thread bow; today, the bouquet was sunflowers, lavender, and baby breath of several colors bouquet, also tied with a magical thread bow, with a Goeiz also attached to it.

In yesterday’s dream, we talked about how when you tell a story, everything has its proper moment, and you gotta have a “creative vision” to see everything with God´s Love eyes. As we incarnate God´s Love and become who we are called to be, we BECOME the story; we become HIS incarnated history of salvation, his incarnated growthful Love story… that, according to His eyes, is also a “new albor family history.”

So, here we are, with a bunch of talents and giftednesses, serving the common good and serving God as we are called to, making possible the healing of children and of all those who are called to become a “new people of new albor”.

Yesterday, a kite flyed and formed a Goeiz in the sunrise. Today, the kite become a butterfly, flying along rainbow clouds… from my hand. That freedom is for those beloved children of God Love-with-us.

Everything has its season under the sun… and this is a growthful season for all the beloved children of His Heart: letting His children grow is also letting His Heart grow.

Yes, His history of salvation had been told so many times… but in each person His history of Love becomes a unique growthful Love story, interwoven as a magical thread that keeps forming more and more Goeiz among the rainbow clouds… until the kite simply keeps flying on, keeps growing on, keeps glowing on, keeps blooming on (all the sunflowers of the nearby growthful field followed the light…)

So, as Will says, we become the story… we become His history…

Each story is a celebration of “conversion”: a celebration of becoming who we are meant to be as “we, the family of new albor” (who is accompanying me from Heaven) and also who we are called to be as the best person we can be, as the living sacrament of God-Love we are called to be to radiate the unique light we are called to be among that firmament full of a via lucis of living stars that preceded us and celebrate with us who we are today in Love, with Love, and for Love.

As we become a “Patria Nueva”, we also become a “new family” for those children who are meant to become the new people of new albor we are all called to be, begining with them.

At the end of the following scene, Will´s fathers finally becomes a “Big Fish”. Yes, each “conversion” is greatly celebrated in Heaven… begining with my own. Among everything what is happenning, we still celebrate that I embraced the grace to convert and become who I am called to be. I didn´t waited until the last moment to chose to embrace that “conversion call”, but, like Will´s father, we are all called to become a BIG LIGHT (not a Big Fish… a BIG LIGHT) that goldens the whole horizon with more and more new albor and creating home sparks.

We are not called to be remembered by our faces: we are called to be remembered like a star of a via lucis, for the light we shone as we “wrote” our growthful Love story on Earth and that we continue to write in Heaven, sometimes in very extraordinary ways, because it was granted to be that way, not because we “deserved it.” Everything is grace. We are meant to be a “gifted people,” each one with a talent to radiate a unique light, and all those lights together form the “new people of new albor” we are called to be as equal brothers and sisters that embrace His new era of new fraternization.

Everything has its season under the sun… and we are meant to embrace God-Love´s given season of growthfulness for His children.

So… a new albor has come. And nobody can hide the light of a new albor.

A new albor has come to us. Christmas season begins today in Puerto Rico: a child has born to us, a Prince of Peace, a God-Hero, has come to us…

As the most importand biblical text of the theology of light (Isaiah 8,23;9, 1-6) says:

There is no gloom where there had been distress. Where once he degraded the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, now he has glorified the way of the Sea, the land across the Jordan, Galilee of the Nations.

The people who walked in darkness

have seen a great light;

Upon those who lived in a land of gloom

a light has shone.

You have brought them abundant joy

and great rejoicing;

They rejoice before you as people rejoice at harvest,

as they exult when dividing the spoils.

For the yoke that burdened them,

the pole on their shoulder,

The rod of their taskmaster,

you have smashed, as on the day of Midian.

For every boot that tramped in battle,

every cloak rolled in blood,

will be burned as fuel for fire.

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us;

upon his shoulder dominion rests.

They name him Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero,

Father-Forever, Prince of Peace.

His dominion is vast

and forever peaceful,

Upon David’s throne, and over his kingdom,

which he confirms and sustains

By judgment and justice,

both now and forever.

The zeal of the LORD of host will do this!

The bold text was left written by Jesus Charity in the sand in last night´s dream… and I didn´t remembered it belonged to Isaiah 9; I found that out when I searched the biblical quote I remembered of the dream in Google. You think I do this with intelligence when everything is being grace´s giftedness. He really means to us being a growthful people, a growthful new kingdom of New Albor… and He was willed that since the discovery of America. I had been remembered again: this was how the evangelization of the New World was meant to happen since the beginning, including since the Discovery of Puerto Rico that we celebrate today: as a growing-together-in-communion story. The Taino people, the first native American people who were extinguished in the New World, in the first “living apostolic see” of the whole Americas, beat with light sparks, like a via lucis-in-us, along all those who preceded us and fought for who we are today as Americans, and for who we are meant to be as growthful Americans.

Sometimes, yes, society is meant to be challenged: traditions are meant to keep progressing as we keep progressing as a New Civilization of Love, changing all that doesn´t allow us to walk like He walked, to Love like He Loves, to help each other to grow as He does it. What has kept us in the colonizing era and in the social slavery era is meant to be challenged and abolished. We are literally creating new traditions, like beginning Christmas in Puerto Rico on November 19 with a “Merry Christmas” magical thread banner, eating epic victory roll on November 13, having Lovefull mash on Thanksgiving, baking a Growthful Christmas Tree of 52 gingerbread cookies, instead of baking a gingerbread house, for Christmas… but everything, all this “growthful creative project,” is part of creating the growthful society we are meant to be upon the bright light of His Living Eucharist that shines upon us as brilliantly as the sunshine shines with a goeiz. We are also meant to shine like a “goeiz sunshine” that also is a “Living Eucharist monstrance,” a living beacon of new life: He is Jesus Charity, the Morning Star that makes all things anew.

Let His Heart grow growthfully. Let Him grow through His beloved children: let them grow growthfully. Let His new people of new albor grow growthfully.

Part of allowing that growtfulness to happen is making possible that all His children can grow growthfully, and that is what this “Yes, We Can Grow Best!” is all about, beginning with the Puerto Rican children.

At the end of this post you have the attachment to read the revised version of “Yes, We Can Grow Best!: Keys for a Growthful Philosophy of Education“.

¡Viva Cristo Amor, that will always live and will reign forever in all the children we are helping to be, to do, to grow, to glow and to bloom!

Look at the next full moon, and celebrate the living Eucharist we are all called to be, guided through the new way of Love (mandatum novum do vobis…) along the sea, in the boat (from where the living goeiz flyes from: the magical thread was tied to the boat before keep growing on, glowing on, blooming on…), by the whole Holy Family of New Albor, because all lives matter, all loves matter… all His children matter.

Let´s keep growing together in communion!
