Elder Muse/Day #3: Wayfinder
“What better example of a “Wayfinder” than this “mycorrhizal network” connecting individual plants and trees together to transfer water, nitrogen, carbon and other minerals. Indeed a harmonious, cooperative, creative and sustainable network that operates from an ancient biological blueprint. Here the older, taller individuals – elders – take care of the youngsters and those who need additional support.”
Elder Muse/Day #2: How To Be In The Darkness
“One day, guided by the dragon that had appeared to him so suddenly, he was walking in the nearby forest and found for the first time a very old elder Oak of 800 years. The instructions were clear. Take off your shoes and bare your soles, and your soul, in the presence of this elder. This oak held wisdom and possibility if he could only listen to the vibrations that transmitted through his bare feet on the earth and his hands on the skin of the tree….”
Elder Muse/Day #1: Sha-con-o-hey
“As she walked through the trees filled with the leaves of summer, following the trail set out long ago by those who came before her, she could feel the ancients speaking to her in a language only those who had reached the elder stage of life could understand….”
The Facts of Life: You Might As Well Love
“How rare it can be to have someone in our lives who we feel safe enough with to talk about what’s really on our minds and in our hearts. To witness our journey without judgement or advise, no matter where it takes us.
Or perhaps it is just that we haven’t cracked open our own hearts….”
It’s Not Too Late – Feeling Deeply
“Nature has always been, and always will be, a source of peace, tranquility, beauty, awe and sanctuary for me. Having always been connected since a child, when I come upon devastation perpetrated by humans I am wild with grief and a depth of sadness that is felt in the core of my being. What will my sons and grandchildren inherit after I have passed from this embodied life?
Sanctuary
“The possibilities and opportunities are unlimited to regenerate and live simply with the many challenges we face serving as catalysts for change. As humans heal, shift priorities, and raise connective and collective consciousness we are granted a window into the eternal and ever evolving beauty of what is always becoming….”
Seeing Things Differently – Part 2
:Had a spell been cast over her? A veil dropped over her so that nothing was very clear. But remember reader she was not aware of how much she was not seeing. Perhaps none of us really are…..”
Seeing Things Differently – Part 1
“We come into this world to be astounded. By the magic, mystery, beauty and pure miracle of our being here. Yet that very purpose is often disrupted by the every day ups and downs of life as a human being. Let’s face it, being human can be a struggle and a rough ride…..”
LISTENING….
“The web of connection on this amazing planet we live on has always been there, but perhaps not as much in our awareness as now with the technology we presently possess. Within seconds we can know what is happening on the other side of the world. Granted this can often be a mixed blessing.
But what is apparent more and more is that we are all one “family” connected by the same human needs as well as intimately connected with all other life in nature and the cosmos.”
An Openness For Mystery
“How many unseen mysteries are out of our direct perception? I don’t know about you but rainbows are always magical to me and make me smile every single time. Somewhere over the rainbow….and pots of gold at the end of them – but there is actually no end!”
