PLAYING WITH NATURE

Beloved,

When I opened my curtains this morning over my bow windows, I saw these white things bobbing in the water. What are those, I thought? It turns out, they were the Canadian Geese upside down in the water. They were bobbing for something, no doubt food but when they turn upside down, all you can see is their white underbellies and their pointy tail is at the top. It was quite fun to watch them for a few minutes. I have never noticed them doing that before. After a bit, they suddenly, all at the same time, took off flying in a straight horizontal line to get to the other side of the lake.

Have you ever wondered how animals, there were 18 of them. all at the same time, decide to do something? It is quite eerie or it is probably telepathy where they all agree at once to fly. Don’t you wish you could do something like that with someone? Your kids can, if you watch them, they actually do. They are tuned in. It’s about time that we adults play with telepathy because we have it too, but we’re too busy to play. I bet you have suddenly thought about someone and you either received a phone call or you got something in the mail. If you pay attention, you will realize that you have that gift also but you just don’t think to use it. When no one can lie, what a world this will be. We will all be telling the truth so the mind will get to rest a lot more. And…..you will be able to trust each and every person.

I have not been kayaking in several weeks because the weather just has not permitted it. There has been a lot of wind, or rain or the temperature is quite cold. This morning, I looked out about 10am and the temperature was 50 degrees and hardly any wind. A perfect day for kayaking and at this time of year, you never know if it is the last opportunity to go out before it freezes over. I had planned on writing this newsletter this morning but I just could not resist going out on the water. I hope you don’t mind but that is why this newsletter is late.

All the boats are now on land and all the docks that can be brought up on land have been. The lake water is quite a bit lower as it has a dam and the boards have been lowered before it freezes. All the land fronts and beaches look so different and more rocks are showing. There is still a raft that the neighbors kids use that is still out there, I don’t know if they will bring it in or not. There is still a small fishing boat for two that is still hitched to the dock but that is it. I guess that boat owner is a die hard like me. I have not prepared my kayak for winter yet as I wait until I am sure that the water has frozen for the winter.

This morning I did something I have never done before. There are two coves that I like to go into but when I got to the first, there was a thin coat of ice on it so I proceeded to the next one. That one also had a coat of ice but I decided that it looked thin so I would try. My kayak broke through the ice but my paddles would not, they were not heavy enough. I am glad I went in at a angle because the paddles are necessary to move and to also change direction so I was kind of helpless without water around me. It was fun though as I like to try something new every now and then, it keeps me feeling like a child and thinking young. When do you ever try something you have never done before? Try it, you will like it.

When I got back, it was just about time to go to Marlborough to set up for the 2013 Natural Living Expo. It takes about 2-3 hours to just set up and with the traveling time, I got back in time for supper. I hope you are going to be able to check out this Expo. I took a quick tour and there are interesting things to see and experience as well as get a hug from me.

I received this message and was pleased to see how it makes so much sense out of what has been happening lately. Check it out…

HOPE, Easter’s promise

Happy, Happy Easter Everyone,

Can you tell this is my favorite Holyday, holiday? Of all the
reasons for celebration, Easter is my favorite.

It comes at a time of the year, at least here in Northeast, when
all things are in renewal. Our trees are budding, grass is
growing, birds are mating, lady bugs are appearing, etc.

Our sun is shining longer and for me, I am now just beginning
to see the sunsets which are such a treat for me to see over
the water and watching it from my deck or inside the house.

The birds are twittering again, such a joyful sound. The
turkey buzzards are cleaning up all the winters leftovers and
soaring high in the sky. Before I got my kayak, I used to ask
them to please take me up for a ride so I could enjoy the
water and freedom.

I think they were very happy when I got my kayak
because the very first time I got in, seven of them
appeared overhead and I swear I heard them chuckling
and breathing a sigh of relief.

I mentioned this to my oldest son who was a little
concerned about his mother going out on her own.
He said: Mom, they are just watching to see if you
are going to be their next meal”.

My son, ever the pragmatist, had me laughing.
I remember the look on his face as I took off,
I had told him I did this before on a vacation,
but I don’t think he believed me. The birds
knew and were here to give me a send off
and be happy for me with my new freedom.

As a mother, I don’t think I could have offered
my son for the sake of humanity as God did.
This fact gives me such HOPE as I know that
Mother/Father God would not allow their son
to die in vain.

Jesus, the Christ, came to show us that even when
things look the darkest as the events of Good Friday
represent, there is always an Easter. The sun (Son)
is always shining even if the clouds obscure it for
a time.

This is such a joyous occasion. Allow this day to
fill you with HOPE and confidence in your future.
We are so loved, Mother/Father God are watching
their children (us) learn to walk, fall down and get
back up again. We are like children learning ever
so much and with such enthusiasm for the simple
things in life.

Have you ever watched a child study nature in
awe and acceptance? Let us be like the children
we are. Loving all that is and looking forward to
the next adventure in life which we take for granted.

I would love to hear what was in your Easter Basket.
Go to my blog or send me an email.

Love and Light,

Mary Grace
