Elder Muse/Day 27: To Be In Awe
“Reclaiming our sense of wonder in the everyday, ordinary moments of life” is something that often happens to us as we reach elderhood. Capturing that sense of awe that was a given for many of us when we were a child is now our precious gift in the latter years of life.
Elder Muse/Day 26 : Time To Immerse – A Return to Nature
“As I was delivered onto the soft sandy shore feelings of awe and wonder overtook me in recognition that these moments were gifted to me. A reminder never to forget the ground of my being, peace of mind, and open heart are always intimately connected with the wildness and rhythms of the natural world.”
Elder Muse/Day 25: The Importance of Feeling Seen
“What if every time we went out into the world we saw everyone we came in contact with, even passing by, as an opportunity to connect?
Actually this is our superpower, and also a powerful remedy for what ails our world right now.”
Elder Muse/Day 24: Climate Surprise -Do We Really Know?
“When it comes down to it there is always a multitude of possibilities operating. As well as the mystery of just how this beloved planet of ours has sustained itself over millions of years with massive climate changes occurring. We think we know, make assumptions, or even give opinions based on the scientific method yet do we really “know”?”
Elder Muse/Day 23: Aging Beauty
“This post is dedicated to women especially. A reminder that the essence of who we are shines even more brightly once “cultural beauty standards” are surrendered and released and we accept another kind of beauty. One that is so much more about who we have become and are becoming.”
Elder Muse/Day 22: Coming To Our Senses
“Nature constantly reminds us how vulnerable and fragile humans are in the face of changing weather patterns often wiping away our efforts to encroach upon the wild. A highly wise force to bring us back to taking care of and respecting what gives us life.”
Elder Muse/Day 21: The Light of the Universe
“”You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe. The significance of you will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume you are fulfilling your significance if you apply yourself to converting all your experience to the highest advantage of others.”Buckminister Fuller
Elder Muse/Day 20:Paying Attention
“The adolescent bear scampered down the tree and broke into a run down the road with the doggie I am caring for running as fast as she could after it. She gave it a good doggie try but black bears can run up to 35 MPH so there was no doubt who would win the race…”
Elder Muse/Day 19: A Village of Elders
“Throughout most of my life the elders in my village were honored and respected. Without them the community would not have substance or grounding. Vision or wisdom. Rites of passage for the young, or awareness of the life beyond this one.
We were the chosen ones….”
Elder Muse/Day 18: No Net Will Appear
“Crossing over a threshold from one stage of life, or even in one single moment, can be disorienting. It may be a subtle transition over time or a sudden wake up call that you are now in Emerald City, like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, and nothing is really the same.
Once you decide to avoid your comfort zones and take off into unknown territory the next story of your life begins….”
