VORTEX OF CREATION?

Posted on by

Beloved,

Life on the lake is at its best right now, at least for me as I like the warm weather. I can tell the days are getting shorter because the two ladies who used to swim in the lake at 5am are now starting at 6am. This morning, another woman joined them with her (I don’t know what to call it) half of a surfing board which she propels by kicking her feet. They were only out in the lake a half hour which is short for them. When I opened my shades, I realized it was only 50 degrees so that may have been why. I so admire their tenacity and habitual practice of swimming so early in the morning. I know I would like to go out in my kayak as the water is so still at that time but my body says NO, wait until it is warmer out. Of course, living right here and being retired, I can pick and choose the time I wish to kayak although the wind determines when I do. If it is windy, I do not venture out onto the water.

The weatherman is predicting hot weather ahead, perhaps a heat wave. Do you know we have not had a heat wave yet although we are in August? In case you did know what a heat wave is, it is three consecutive days of 90 degrees or higher. I had been wondering if we were going to have a summer at all because it felt like Fall but now the heat is coming back. For those of you, who do not like the heat, just know that it will be only for a short time and for those of you, who like the heat like me, enjoy every day you can go barefoot and enjoy wearing fewer clothes. I still am wearing sweat pants and a sweater in the morning and I do not have air conditioning. I have to confess that the temperature here is at least 5 degrees cooler because of the lake.

As I was sitting and immersing myself in the view of the calm water, the mirror like texture only occasionally being disturbed by fish jumping up and out of the water to catch the bugs that are close to them, I came to a deep realization. Water is the source of all life as humans, animals and vegetation could not live without water. It truly is a symbiotic relationship as each part of nature nurtures the other. The beautiful tree in my yard that is haven to all the birds including the hummingbirds is dependent on the water for its life. We are also dependent on the tree to convert our carbon dioxide into oxygen which we all need to live. The other plants and animals also need clean air to live. It is a circle, a cycle of life. I have known this for years but this morning I was made even more aware of how we truly are ONE as none of us could exist without the other: each of us doing exactly what we were created to do.

This year, the birds are behaving differently. In early spring, the golden finches were more abundant than usual and suddenly most of them left. I have more hummingbirds than usual and they are behaving differently. Usually only one hummingbird at a time is allowed at a feeder (I have three) but this year they are sharing the feeders even if they display wariness. It started with only two females allowing each other to be at the same feeder and then the male would allow the female to feed if only with apprehension. Is that a symbol of what humanity is on the verge of? These hummingbirds are displaying such aerial agility as they practice all of their skills. I have so many that I can just sit at the window and watch them as they do the acrobatics. I usually only have one seagull that is master of the lake but just last night there were six of them out there. This morning one seagull was in charge of the raft and two others were each on a buoy and one other one was flying between them all. There are changes afoot even if I don’t know what it all means. Last night, the news says we are in for a strong El Nino in about 3 months as it gathers its strength. I do not know what that has to do with the birds but if anyone knows, please let me know. I am curious.

Guess what I came across? A powerful meditation I had saved to share with you and it feels so appropriate for this moment.

8-8-8 MEANINGS & PURPOSE

Posted on by

Beloved,

Happy summer. I just got back from kayaking in my lake. It is a perfect day for it as the water is calmer and so are the winds. I do not kayak when it is windy or when there are a lot of speed boats or jet skis out there. I usually write my newsletter first and then go kayaking. Lately, by the time I have the time, the wind is up or the weekender people are out on the water. This morning even though I needed to make my yogurt first as it takes 10 hours to cook, when I was done the wind had still not come up so I “jumped” into my kayak for a journey around the lake. The water and the wind change depending on what end of the lake you are on. At one end, there are two coves that are as still as glass. So much so, that I can kayak through the clouds that are reflected on it. The other end of the lake usually has rougher waters and more wind. This morning I had the lake all to myself, not another boat to disrupt the peace of quiet or create waves. It is an adventure as well as a story book.

I cannot help but wonder about the people who were always using the lake when all of sudden, no boats are out at the docks and a few have not even put their docks out yet. There are more homes on the water for sale than I have ever seen before. Perhaps this is a sign of the economy. I know a few owners have passed away and it seems to be a long time before the legal system frees it up for anyone to buy. The beach right in front of my home is very quiet and perhaps when we are having a heat wave, more will come but mostly it is quiet. The ages of the children who used to play are now older and the young ones are not old enough to come alone and have to wait for an adult to bring them. Life on the lake is up and down just like life is. There are busy times and then there are quiet times. As the population ages, the scene changes again. I am ever so grateful to be here and able to partake in the gifts that being on the water bring.

In case you were not able to connect to Patricia Cota-Robles call yesterday, here is a link to it. It was quite powerful.

In this call, Patricia shared with us her latest update from the Divine Realms and then led us through a profoundly transformative guided visualization/activation. The meditation was so powerful we could not keep up with listener comments pouring in with thanksgiving and gratitude. Patricia then generously offered her time to answer listener questions for a full 30 minutes at the end of the call.

The 8-8-8 Lion’s Gate is tomorrow and there is quite a bit of info on the meaning of this particular time. I am learning as I look for articles that might interest you. Thank you for the push to find out more about what is happening on our Beloved Earth. I did not know that tomorrow was so important and I will share a few of what I have discovered.

This video gives you extra strength to cope with all the changes that are happening to you and your world. I do not usually watch many debates but I tuned in to the Republican Party debate last night. I had no idea that there were debates on at 5pm so I did not get to watch them. I wish I had because there was a woman who the channel said was definitely the winner of that first one. I have to confess that I watched only to be able to make up my own mind on Donald Trump and see what the others had to offer. Frankly, it was like watching young boys in a contest with some of them being downright rude to the others. It was obvious the ones that had dignity and were sure within themselves but the noise makers were the ones to get the most attention. I have watched debates before and each candidate was treated equally with the time. I guess being 10 candidates, the questions kept going to the same ones over and over again. It ended at 11pm but I could not relax enough to go to bed. I had to stay up another hour and a half just to be relaxed enough to go to sleep. The energy from that broadcast was filled with negativity although I know it was productive to see how each candidate handled himself. I like to make up my own mind by seeing it for myself as the news commentators sometime report a different aspect than what I get.

I want to leave you with a smile. Tom Cruise and Jimmy Fallon in sync battle is quite entertaining and will bring a smile to your face if not downright laughter. I am not up late enough in the evening to listen to the night shows but this one is great.

IS HAPPINESS YOURS FOR KEEPS?

Posted on by

Beloved,

Summer is finally here even if only for a short while. It was 45 degrees last night but today is already 70 degrees so the cool nights are not too bad. I love to kayak which I can do most of the year but going in the water is something else. Once the nights get warmer around 55-65 degrees, the water warms up. It is the warm nights that warm the water and why the water cools down even if the days are in the 80’s.I am enjoying going in the water because it seems to be such a short time before fall is here.

Do you remember when I used to tell you about the Canadian geese and my attempts to keep them from coming to our beach? If it wasn’t for their poop, they would be more welcome. Well, another crusader to ban the geese has come to take over for me. She is our new treasurer and is adamant that she is tired of raking up the poop and will find a way to deter them. She wanted to try the whirly gigs that turn with a breeze so I offered mine to her to try so she wouldn’t have to buy them. They work well for me when the baby geese are small and they crawl under the fence. Since they can’t fly, the parents need to come over the fence and herd them back, leaving their markings on my grass. This year I did not need to use them as the babies did not come that close to the fence, maybe the geese parents remember and keep them from it now. Since I had tried them on the beach and they did not work, I did not hold out too much hope but she wanted to try.

I watched as the geese stayed in the circle of water created by the buoys that keep boats out of the swimming area. They would venture forward to see what would happen and when nothing did, they proceeded as usual. Yesterday I noticed something brown on the beach and it seemed hunched over but I could not make out the details even with my binoculars. So I went out this morning to see exactly what it was. I had been watching the geese and they were staying away from it except for one who decided he was going to be the one to test the waters. There is always one in every crowd, isn’t there, that will go where no one else wants to go? I was chuckling as slowly he would get closer and nothing happened. The other geese settled on the beach further away but this one decided to pretend to be eating the grass as it inched closer and closer to this thing. When nothing happened and that thing did not move, they all settled down to munching.

I thought it was worthy of chuckles so I wanted to share it with you. I went down to see what it actually was and it turned out to be a plastic coyote or fox. It was hard plastic and hunched over in body form with the face close to the ground with a snarling mouth that show teeth and the tail was dragging on the ground. That made me laugh at loud. If a decoy does not move, it is not real to the predator. This coyote/fox needed to be higher up so the breeze could make it move. A couple of years ago (before this person was on board), we had tried a fox/coyote as they were supposed to scare geese away. We tried only one on one side of the beach to see if it would work. This one had fur and the head moved and so did the beautiful fur tail when the wind would blow. It had seemed to be working, at least on one side of the beach and all of a sudden, it disappeared. Someone stole it and we never did find it again. This woman is very dedicated to getting rid of the geese and I had told her all we had done but nothing worked. I had suggested a floating swan as geese are afraid of it and one of our neighbors has put one in the water near their raft and it appeared to work. The movement of the water made it move around so the geese never knew where it would be. Perhaps her next attempt will be a swan. I hope so as I feel that will work but it is great to have someone trying so hard to alter this one drawback of having a beach. I cannot chase the geese anymore as I can’t walk that much without pain. They used to know my voice and if I hollered “GO” from my deck they would leave most of the time. But they are smart and they would test me occasionally to see if I would actually walk down there to scare them away. I used to carry a pail so I could throw water at them which would make a splash and frighten them. Yet they knew when I wasn’t home. They would even see me leave so they could come and when my car turned on the street, they would skedaddle. They are smart and good adversaries. Animals are so much fun unless they are invading your territory.

Abraham Hicks has words of wisdom that are powerful.

This will give you a feeling of what it is to be happy. This music makes you want to dance. I can’t do what they do, can you?

Would you call being emotional an opportunity to be happy?

What an example of what can happen when you believe in yourself enough to be happy.
