As I sit here now writing this missive, which soon shall be a reflection, a hawk has brought chaos and strife to my merry bunch of resident birds and squirrels. I knew that something was amiss even though I sit with my back to the window for I heard the voices of my feathered residents change dramatically.

As I rose from my chair and went to the window overlooking the gardens I suspected a hawk to be present but did not at first see one. My sight scanned the greater yard space and then I noted movement to the right of my gaze. As I reaffixed my sight to a space directly in front of me, overlooking the feeders, I then noted the hawk perched on the fence directly over the bush that is home to many of my tiny companions.

The frantic chirps of my daily companions, in current time with my typing, have now quieted though I am unsure as to if it is due to the hawk taking leave or if they have fallen silent in fear. I suspect the former as I now hear normal birdsong beginning to arise once again to adjoin the buzz of locusts so prevalent in the August swelter.

Transitional times can be wearying even for those that are well accustomed to transformation through challenge.

As we approach the forthcoming Cardinal Squares and Crosses of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Pluto, it is of great importance that we seek to hold our balance and attend our situations as they arise, keeping our lives as streamlined and simple as is possible.

When in periods of change, especially when there is such a large amount of outer planet involvement, much can feel as if it is spinning out of control and this can lead to feelings of despair, anger, resentment and loss of faith and belief.

While transformation due to challenging circumstances is seldom pain free we needn’t go through unnecessary struggle. By practicing conscious awareness and making choices based upon our well-being we can effectively prevent the arising of situations that will only serve to hinder our progression and growth.

if only for the briefest

of moments

‘tween dropped notes

of  casual exchange

arises a verse

brought to your lips

its tone

come forth unbidden

no longer veiled within

tangles of rhyme

freed then I would be

to recite mine own

verse of love

liberating my fore silent lips

could heavens glimpse

then await our sight

if only you should

respond yea to the query

resting still ever patient

within my Heart.

My experience of the garden this morning was a frenetic one. So much disarray to be sorted through after last evening’s rain; yet Lemon was so agitated that my task was not one that was going to be undertaken with any ease and grace.

As I gathered produce, tended the feeders and up righted tipped planters she pulled and strained against her very generous lead yelping and panting; a half crazed, fully obsessed, bunny-lusted Lemon she was.

I moved her lead from stake to stake around the gardens hoping that if she were presented with enough differing angles (perspectives) she would come to the recognition that there was nothing tangible where she believed it to be.

Yet the more information she had to work with the greater her frenzy became.

I finally had enough. I stopped everything I had been doing, took a deep breath to clear my own irritation with her agitation and said,

“Lemon, just let it go now Darlin’, just let it all go. It is already gone. You are just chasing a Ghost now”.

Lemon stilled and became and quiet. Something inside of me responded in like manner.

For a few moments we were as such, she and I, calculating our next steps in consideration of the awareness we now had.

And then the first drops of a new day’s rain touched our cheeks and signaled a lesson completed.

Thank you Mother; I understand and am grateful.

Birth Pains

In my dying times I curl in upon myself
brittle becomes my flesh
my muscles, my bones
and ache though I do
with the rot of it
still I seek to protect
a possible newborn prospect
deep within the skeletal remains
of what once
was I.

Into the Mystic

I will cling to this Earth

as all of miscreation crumbles around me

and She shall cleave to me

and gratitude shall flow from my lips,

to be captured within Her rhythmically beating Heart,

in great thanks of sanctuary accepted

from One as Divine as She

As She and I entwine I breathe of Her

her fragrance one of dew, and moss

and decay and Life

And I Rest

I rest knowing that whilst

the Planets above us court new partners

and Stars pirouette in spaces ere unknown

and Chaos reigns as Ballerino this day

a new day filled with new sky

shall surely break upon tumultuous horizon

sweeping aside afore clashing storms of ere begotten ways

and a brilliant Moon shall find placement aside

her loving Partner’s golden warmth

and I shall reemerge

from space of nurtured and protective containment

yet still shall I find myself entwined

as though fed through newborn cord

to my ever attentive Earth Mother

and I shall honor her in All Manners and Ways

Always

and ne’er again shall I doubt Her Love of me

For from Her I was born and to Her I will return

Time and again, as long as Earth is to be home

To this Soul of Mine

This is a repost of an item I wrote around 2007. I have not altered it from its original form so it may be “dated” I suppose. I think it may be of value to someone now. Be Well!

Note of Context of This Writing:
For a brief period I visited online spirituality-based communities, and for an even briefer period, I was a moderator at one of these communities.  During the time frame I was participating in these communities, there was frequent, sometimes heated debate over what did, and did not, constitute a “Channeled” message. Also of frequent argument was the value of the message, the validity of the channeler and the identity of the source of the channeled message.
I do not wish to share my viewpoints per se, on the worth or validity of those that acknowledge themselves as spiritual channels, nor of the materials they share with the public. I feel that each soul walks his/her path in the way that is perfectly appropriate for he/she, and I can only be discerning for myself, of that which I partake of, and that which I do not.
“When Spirit Speaks…” was the answer I received from my inner guidance while observing and musing over the discord in the communities I visited concerning Channelings.

When Spirit Speaks: Utilizing Discernment when receiving Messages/Messengers

From the works of Elena Kalis

The Brilliance of Photographer Elena Kalis http://www.elenakalisphoto.com/#

When Spirit speaks..
There is a crystal clarity imparted
A message that rings True and Clear.

Spirit has no need nor desire to speak in riddles or codes
Cryptic messages are designed by man not by Spirit.

A true messenger of Spirit does not seek to confuse those they aid by veiling information or weaving mystery into that which they convey.

When we ask Spirit for clarity for assistance on our journey
we are always provided a “teacher” that we can resonate with and understand. Continue Reading »

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is an act of completion; it is the acknowledgement of a lesson learned.

The act of Forgiveness is Grace, a blessing, for through it you release yourself and an other(s) from further consequence in regard to the previously offending situation.

True Forgiveness, not forgiveness offered through words only, occurs when the previous situation of issue no longer holds an emotional charge.

It is from our emotional base that we act and/or react.

Being actionary is an Empowered State of Being whereas being reactionary is a dis-empowered state of being.

When a situation no longer incites you to react you have reached the point of Forgiveness.

Grace is Available for All whom Choose it; the Choosing is in the Offering.

Be Well!
