Seeking support, comfort and unconditional love sounds so simple, yet it evaded most of our life experiences. The gentle touch of a warm hand, the hug of soft arms and the ear of a patient listener are qualities of a kindred, kind and angelic soul. Qualities we brag to say we can do, or challenge others to possess seems to be the ‘me too’ movement of today. What if identity and gratitude were left out of the picture and giving of this experience is felt deeper in the soul than the regular senses? Just as the gentle cypress tree seems…

Time to start easing into the ‘fall back’ time that will be here soon. Sleep a little later each day, eat dinner a little earlier each day and ease into the cycle of nature and time. Next year, daylight savings time permanent? Can’t wrap my head around that. I LOVE short days and long nights. When it gets dark early, it is time to be home and warm. Yes, I know, Arizona, you don’t comply. When I lived there I missed the dark in winter as the cycle I knew. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, you may…
Autumn is the season of memories, reflection and transition in both nature and the sunset of our lives. Each year, we join nature in ending cycles such as flowering plants, trees, and food harvesting while in preparation for a resting or ending season of winter. As the seasons change, we too, start to recall our precious life long memories and try to recapture the moment in time, to feel deeply the emotional tie it holds in our body and thoughts. Fall is the time of reminiscing and holding on to that which makes us human and vulnerable. We smell the…
Our words need an overhaul. A church posted asking for donations of food ‘for the needy’. I thought we were all one family and welcoming all to the table of nourishment. Why not ask seeking nourishment support for our families and friends at this time.
Enjoy your day y’all! Offline and off grid for a bit Smile in the sunshine!
We talk about magic and mystery. We talk about light and dark. We feel the light of the sun. We seek the light of the moon. All co exist and we cannot wish them away, capture their essence to control, or deny their place in this universe. What we can do is understand life from many different perspectives. Can we do the same for humanity? What does that mean? There is room for all of us, but can we honor all, to each be in their own moment in time?
We are never alone, as the spirits of our ancestors are within our reach to connect with us. How do you know if you are connecting? As we age, our daily human circles may become smaller and quieter. This experience of increased alone time may have you feeling alone or disconnected. What if it was a time to start working on connecting to your spirit skills as that is your next step as an enlightened soul? Here is an example of how my day connecting started: what am I to start and engage with this month Thinking and in silence,…
I planted ‘pepper’ seeds and waited to see what would grow. The first year, nothing! After cutting the plant down for the end of the summer, it started to bloom again in the fall here. Then, spring brought these peppers. This is not an issue to fix or run from but it is a part of awareness that IS important at this time in life. What to do: pause, see without words, explore possibilities in front of you and progress with new eyes. The peppers were of different colors and form. I didn’t ask if they were over ripe or…
Looking at someone or something, with your human eyes, through the veils of your own experiences and imprints of emotions. It is allowing your own perceptions, emotions and beliefs, to create a story of the moment in time engaging with another, to become a truth that you abide by, and create as your reality. However, many times, that belief that you use as your veil to see through, is just that, a veil, an illusion, and your own experience of judgement. So if you feel, at times, someone’s judgement coming your way, you have several choices but here are two…
The hairs on the leaves of a morning glory are part of the support system that allows the tendrils to climb. What is your support system? Many say ‘who’ is their support system rather than ‘what’ supports them to grow. Food, light, energy, water, air and earth are a few of the items topping the list. Can you actively strengthen your support system? All of these are free and powerful to support life. Or perhaps, you would rather lean on ‘who’ and stay in the human survival mode? Maybe you are confused by the question? When you come to a…
