WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE?

Posted on by

Beloved,

I am in a quandary right now because I know everyone is thinking about the upcoming election. I want to offer some simple truths or beliefs but I can’t find any. I treasure my freedom to vote and I wouldn’t give up that choice even when my stepchildren threatened to kill me and I was told that when I moved, I would have to reregister to vote with my new address which would then be public or I would not be allowed to cast my ballot. As frightened as I was that I would be found, I could not give away the very thing that makes our country great; the ability to cast a ballot and have a say so in my government. So many people died to give me that privilege and we women fought hard and long for that freedom, I just could not let their lives and efforts be in vain.

Something we seemed to have forgotten is that: “WE, THE PEOPLE” is you and I. We outnumber all the politicians and they would not have a job if we did not give it to them. We are that powerful. Why do we give that POWER away so freely and easily? We all are aware that money runs our country but did you ever think or realize that you vote every time you buy something. All the 1% considers is the bottom line which is profit. Are you aware that if we all decided not to buy something, say a brand of coffee, for instance, that they would be out of business. There would be no one to sell that product to so there would be no need for that company. From now on, when you pull out your wallet or credit card, be aware that you are VOTING for that product and whoever profits from that sale. Who or what are you blindly voting for and giving permission to run your life?

We all know that Congress is the real power behind our government and we voted them in. The only power the President has is the power to push that button to start a nuclear war without the Congressional approval. Whose thumb do you want on that button? I, for one, do not want any more of our husbands, sons, nephews, cousins or any male be made to go to war. Wait a minute; I forgot that females are in the armed services now so a draft would entail all eligible young men and women. Ladies, have we not had enough losses in our family? The newer generations have lost the awareness of what war is because it has not been in our country. They have no idea what a world that would be to live in. I know because I lived in the last World War and instead of butter we had lard in a tube in which we broke open a yellow capsule and proceeded to squish it until it was all yellow. That was our butter. Hey, younger ones, would you like to eat that? That was minor compared to missing our loved ones who were exposed to death every day. A nuclear war would take out all phones, computers, every convenience you can think of. What would you do then?

I am so adamant about voting because that is one choice no one can take away from you here in America, you can only refuse to choose and yet by not voting, you do choose. You choose to never be able to complain about our government or what is happening in the world. We are so fortunate to have this freedom while other parts of our world would give anything to have that precious choice. Wars are in existence right now so that the citizens can have what we already have. Do you want what they have or will you vote? When you go to the polls, seek deep in your heart not in your head for the right choice. You will know and feel which person is best and that goes for all the other votes you will pass besides the Presidential one.

Do you feel like this often? “I can’t take it anymore”

Indian Summer has been great around here, I appreciate it more now because I know what is coming. The young men who do my lawn and plowing came yesterday and all the leaves are gone except for what the wind brings. I went out in my kayak yesterday but could not go around the whole lake because the wind came up and the water got choppy BUT I got to out on the water and feel the kayak moving me through the beginning of the waves. It is like being rocked in a cradle yet I only really enjoy it when I am in front of my beach because there I do not have to paddle through them. My kayak is not the last boat out there because there are still a few diehards like me that wait until the last minute to put our chariots away for the winter.

Actions such as this one are what make our country great. It also makes me smile instead of being angry.

ARE YOU A MIRROR?

Posted on by

Beloved,

Wow, these are powerful days. Starting 10/13/16; we will have 5 days of Geo-Magnetic Storms emanating from the sun… then a 5 day breather … and then 9 more days of Geo-Magnetic Storms. This explains a lot of what is happening within us and in our world. The full moon is included in this energy and it is full tomorrow night. Are your animals acting strange? Give yourself the gift of not getting upset at situations or people as these too will change.

I am so fortunate to live where I can see the water and all the beautiful trees resplendent in their fall colors. When I went kayaking, it felt like I had entered the world of Dorothy of Oz. The water was as still as glass so the beautiful colors were doubled as the water reflected all the houses and the beautiful background of fall trees in full bloom. I am used to seeing across the lake at the view there but in the kayak, I was able to see the opposite side, mine, in a rare view of mirrored beauty.

I don’t know if I can explain just how I felt when I came closer to the road that was at one end of the lake. It was like I was in a place where I could not rely on my vision as what I was seeing was in complete denial of reality. I could see the road, the bank of the lake and what appeared to be the top of the water. Yet, I could not make out where the lake water began or ended. It felt like I was gliding on what was not actually there according to my eyes. You know the expression: “Don’t believe everything you see.” It was a weird period of time where my rational mind and physical eyes were completely turned upside down. I actually kayaked very slowly to the edge of the lake as there appeared to be no water, just the trees and the road. ???? What a feeling of non-reality it is to not be able to trust what you are seeing.

As I was kayaking around the lake and enmeshed in the sound of quiet and the beauty of the colors that were being drawn out by the sun, I kept being drawn into the world of mirrors (water) where what you see is not actually real. Have you ever noticed that other people will mirror to you what you are feeling? What we see is actually in us but mirrored out to the world. No one can see in the world what they don’t have within them. If you see a quality in someone, it is because you have that same quality within you. You cannot see what you are not. When you receive a compliment it is because the other person recognizes in you the same gift or value that she/he has. When you are drawn to compliment someone, it is because you see in them what is in you so you acknowledge it. We are reflections of one another.

What an experience of my being able to see both the object and what was mirrored yet they appeared to be one. And… one was totally physical and the other was a mirror image that was not quite as perfectly formed as the original. Mirrors can distort reality where you shake your head in awe and then need to focus on which one is perfectly clear and which one is slightly blurred so the mind can decide which one is the real one. I can’t wait for the day when all of humanity is at peace within themselves so that is what is mirrored in the world. For now, find your peace and tolerance so that you may radiate that gift to the world.

Could this have been the very beginning of our confusion with reality?

This is the first time I have heard Jennifer Hoffman and I was impressed by her simplicity and honesty. She lets us all off the hook of always trying and not seeming to achieve what we want.

The Iroquois people have lived in the northern areas around Ontario, Canada and upstate New York for well over 4,000 years. “Iroquois” actually refers to a language rather than a particular tribe, and prior to European colonization, the Iroquois consisted of at least five tribes.

The soup below is called “Three Sisters Harvest Vegetable Soup”, a name that holds much meaning. In many Native American cultures, the “three sisters” refer to corn, squash, and beans – three key crops that have been planted alongside one another for over 5,000 years in a technique called companion planting.

The “three sisters” support one another as they grow. The corn (or maize) provides a pole-like structure for the beans to crawl up, while the beans fertilize the soil beneath with nitrogen (a compound that the other two plants need in order to live). The third sister, squash, grows in clusters around the group and blots out most of the sunlight, preventing weeds from moving in on the dance.

Why can we not “companion” our crops so we will not need fertilizers and bug killers thus saving the human body from so many ills? What an example these Iroquois left us. Isn’t it about time that we look back and take the good and wise examples of our forebears? If you would like the recipe, just email me and I will send it to you.

Don’t you wish you had a baby sister who could make you feel good while doing absolutely nothing. You can. You do. You radiate your love wherever you go even when you are not aware of it.

IS ILLUSION REAL?

Posted on by

Beloved,

What an experience this morning. I am still not sure how to interpret it but it was unusual and fascinating. I noticed what I thought was the seagull who I call Oscar swimming toward the beach in a very determined manner. He never does that and does not come close to the beach unless the migrant ducks are here near the shore catching fish and he tries to snatch a fish from them. I kept watching him come closer to the edge of the beach and then he stepped over the rope of the barrier floats that have not been removed yet. He did not even try to fly over??? Still puzzled, I watched him swim from the side to the middle of the beach and then come to a dead stop. He looked straight at a fake small swan sitting in the sand about his size that had been purchased to scare away the geese. I am chuckling here because the geese are much larger than this swan and are not bothered in the least by this small intruder. Then Oscar makes several advances and finally comes up to the edge of the beach. Eyeing the swan he does a series of small movements and preening actions which might have been a method of communicating. This went on for at least 5 minutes.

It suddenly dawned on me that Oscar was enamored by the swan and I started to giggle. I kept watching him make attempts to communicate and started to question if the seagull was really a seagull. I never see them up close because they stay around the middle of the lake and the closest it usually comes is to rest on our raft which is a ways out. I studied him, his markings and his color and then I went to my bird book to check him out. Yep, I was right. It was Oscar the seagull, and the color and markings on him show him to be in mating season. Isn’t it quite late in the season for that? Finally he gave up and flew away but I heard him calling several times like a seagull does but he was nowhere in sight.

There are synchronicities happening for you everywhere. What could the message in this possibly be? If I relate to Oscar, then I was enamored by something that was not real, something that was an illusion. ?????? I finally I went back to finishing my exercises but still puzzled over this unusual message. Oh Well! I am sure it will disclose itself over time. I made breakfast and started to read my emails when I noticed a message from Christian Singles, an online matchmaking site which I have not belonged to for years. To be truthful, the owner sends me messages every now and then asking me to rejoin but it has been years since I have been interested. This message said I had a message from someone who was interested in me. NOW, I was even more confused about what Oscar was trying to tell me. In order to reply to this person, I would have to pay for a month’s membership. ?????? I still do not know what I am going to do but I know that it was a message. There are messages all around us and they occur more frequently when we allow ourselves to pay attention. I know one thing for sure, this event happened so I could share it with you. Are you enamored with an illusion? Is the Universe trying to tell us that all the goings on in the world are just an illusion? If you have the answer, please email me and let me know.

Many of us think that religion is an illusion. This short video opened up a new way to think about religion.

Have you ever searched for words to communicate your deep beliefs but did not want to offend anyone? You just want to share your knowledge. Here is a short video of Eckhard Tolle answering that question from a health professional.

Waves of change are upon us. But what if we thought of the future changes as Waves of a rainbow?

This week is the last week of summer or another way of looking at it, is that fall begins in a week which starts with a solstice. . These are powerful times and with the full moon and the eclipses, we are being opened like you peel an orange (and the fruit is sweet indeed).
