Spring at Last

Ahhh! We have stepped into a surreal, blissful 75*F day here in the Northeast USA. Let the sweet smells and gentle breeze caress, the warm sun kiss your skin, and the thousands of migratory birds sing in the surrounding fields!

As for our Earth, there is some gravity or heaviness about her. A quiet waiting and resignedness, like she is resting between labor pains. Perhaps we should be resting too? Put your hands or bare feet upon her and send the Earth Love and Gratitude for her manifestation: This wonderful, physical world we call home. From primordial slew to giant, sublime crystalline structures; from fungi to giant banyan trees and redwoods; from an odd stone in your shoe to vast mountains and bottomless seas; we are Blessed to be here now experiencing! We are all in this together.

A last patch of melting snow!

Expansion, March 3rd 2014

A cold, peaceful day here in Maine. The snow a hard surface under foot. It was heart-warming to see a dozen wild turkeys waiting patiently as my neighbor down the road walked toward them with a bucket of corn this morning. This is what the Earth has to say to me today:

Wide open vistas are expanding on an energetic level. I am laughing at present; giggling with pleasure. My Awakening and the Awakening of all my creatures feels so good after such a long nap. Many upon me are playing out old density that’s surfacing to be felt through to completion. What seems to be “a planet getting worse” is actually a natural cleansing and healing process. Know that everything is unfolding as it should and that underneath the illusion we are all perfect, whole and complete. Enjoy the masquerade, the great play of life in all its facets. Know that you are loved and can never be truly harmed.

May the Blessings of your Soul shine through each and every one of you, and may you shine ever brightly for all the world to see. You are magnificent and I love you.

Vaughan Woods, South Berwick, ME

Here in Vaughan woods on the banks of the upper Piscataqua river its a quiet, cold afternoon. The forest, once clear cut by the early settlers, has since grown back. Old 17th century cellar holes can still be found here. I settle down in a pine-needled patch lit by a beam of sunlight and listen to the Earth:

I am sad today. So many look the other way, take me for granted. If people only knew that when they consciously tune into and appreciate me I am able to open up magic for them! If everyone spent just two minutes a day connecting with me the world would be quite a different place. Feel the love I emanate when you listen from your heart-space and feel the well-being this creates. Dwell in this fullness, this energy, and see what unfolds!
