THE JOYS OF SPRINGTIME

Beloved,

 First, I would like to acknowledge my mood these past few weeks.  The present energy wave is having its way with me.  I am now saying: “I thought I had released this a long time ago, why did it come back to haunt me?”  Well, I conquered my fear of the microphone, of speaking in public and big crowds.  I guess it is now time for me to conquer my fear of confrontation.  I was confronted with a Kangaroo court atmosphere when I appeared all by myself with my letter and the signatures of the 33 people who signed it. When I am confronted by an angry person, my little girl runs and hides in the closet all curled up. I have been given the opportunity to face this squarely and not run into the closet.  There will be another meeting in two weeks and hopefully we will get the answers to our questions. It has not been fun but I am grateful for the opportunity to release all that constricts my energy of LOVE. My gratitude goes out to all the players in this scenario.  It is coming to an end so if you are experiencing events or challenges, know they finally do go away.

 Here is a perfect example of rules, whether you should follow them or not.

 I have not shared much about my lake lately so let me share the good things.  We have had an unusual winter.  The ice fishermen were able to go out fishing only one day this winter and that was before Christmas.  Our temperatures are up and down and are causing such beautiful patterns on the lake. It still amazes me how water can take so many consistencies which actually draw art as you look out upon the lake. Ice does not reflect the blue of the sky but water does.  Most of the winter, we have had parts of the lake frozen while parts of isn’t.  Sometimes, the ice moves from one place to another and creates pathways of blue water among the ice which is smooth and yet has the texture of the wind freezing little mounds on it.

 The transient ducks have been here for a couple weeks (do you think they came early to console and delight me?)  The ring necked ducks came first, then the red breasted mergansers then the hooded mergansers.  One day I got up and there must have been 40 of them in small inlet of water that was cut in half by ice.  They were having a ball diving for the food but that inlet of ice was too small for them to bother flying over it so they would climb out and waddle to the other side and plop into the water so happily.  One day, the big geese, yes, they are back, had to share the water space with all these little dobblers. I noticed that the geese would get out and sit on the ice because these little hooded mergansers were popping in and out and seemingly got in the way. Yet, the small ducks were not frightened by the big boys.

 I hear the birds again, a sure sign of spring. Aren’t their songs so special in the springtime?  The very first migrant bird to come back is the turkey buzzard whose job it is to be the garbage man.  These birds clean up our earth from all the dead refuse and I thank them for doing that. Plus, they are soaring artists in the sky; they are so beautiful to watch. The brown headed Cowbird is back and my Golden Finches have started turning gold again but just the males. The males are the only ones who molt in the fall and then look almost female.

 Have you ever wondered about your DNA.  Meet the future humans.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE YOU?

Beloved,

As I am sitting here, I am asking myself what DO I add to humanity or the world. As you get older, you can’t DO physically what you used to do so you start to feel like you are not adding your energy self or your being to the human race and the part that you have always played in the drama of being on earth. Of course, I am speaking about myself but do you ever feel like this?

Here it is January, a brand new year and I am obsessing over what the future will bring. What will I DO now that no one actually depends on me for anything? I only have myself to BE concerned with and when I was raising three children, I would dream sometimes of having some time for myself. Isn’t life a paradox? I believe that young children are the best model for being human. Until society steps in and programs the young minds that they need to DO to be valued, they are having a ball just BEING. They are extremely valuable just as they are as they are unique unto no other being. Don’t they bring a smile to everyone’s face no matter where they are or what they are doing? I don’t care where you are or where you go, there is hardly anyone who will not smile at the small child, no matter who they are. Grandparents know this without a doubt.

But…you don’t have to be a grandparent to enjoy or smile at a youngster, they are everywhere. There are no barriers between the adult humans who are enjoying this unique being. I am kind of giggling at myself right now as the picture of a fat, toothless and totally dependent child brings such delight but a fat, toothless and totally dependent adult does not bring out the same response in most of humanity. The only explanation I have ever been able to give to myself is that the young child is a model of youth, a new beginning. Whereas the adult is a reminder to us of our fragility and the possibility that we might be that old person someday so we choose not to notice them. Maybe we could start a new fad. A fad of smiling at all humans but especially the older ones who hold all the wisdom garnered from their lives and who helped society become what it is so that we would be enriched by what they experienced in their life. The old saying:”BE in the moment” came from our forebears and that is definitely the wisdom I wish to remember. Let us concentrate on BEING rather than DOING.

My little hooded merganser is still here. The lake is more thawed out, at least for now, and it is busy diving under the water and getting its food. As I open the drapes every day, I have been looking to see where he is in the lake. It started me thinking about how this little duck is all alone, there is not another one like it around anywhere. They have all gone south for the winter. I wondered if it felt alone or was concerned about its future especially with the single digits here for a while and its food source would be under ice. In fact, as I write this, the lake closest to me has developed a film of ice on it. We do humanize animals especially in videos but perhaps this hooded merganser is a model for me to just live in the moment as the future is not here yet so there is nothing I can DO. It is also a test for me to trust that this little life is in God’s hands not mine.

As I was getting my coffee, I looked out the kitchen window and noticed a female cardinal at my feeder. This is the first time in 20 years that a cardinal has come because my feeder is designed just for the smaller birds. If the bird is as heavy as a cardinal perches on it, it closes the gate to the seeds. The female cardinal kept chasing away the smaller birds and kept going around the feeder and looking up as if to say: “why can’t I get any food when these other birds can?” As I watched, the male cardinal showed up and he also sat on the feeder. In a few minutes they both flew off but when something unusual happens with animals or birds, I go to my book Animal-Speak by Ted Andrews which is a dictionary of animal, bird and reptile symbolism. The keynote or condensed symbolism of the Cardinal is: Renewed Vitality through Recognizing Self-Importance. What a reminder to me that EVERYONE is important and has an important role to play even if they do not recognize it. I want to remind you that YOU have an important role to play and YOU are here for a purpose even if YOU don’t know it.

2017 is a Banner Year, The Year of the Phoenix and you are an important part of it.

A POSSIBILITY OF FREEDOM

Beloved,

What a week of ups and downs this has been. Tuesday night I went to bed at 11:30PM, not waiting for the election results. The next morning I did something I never do, I put the TV on before I did my prayers or even ate breakfast. My heart sank but worst of all, this incredible sadness came over me. An American Muslim said it best. He said” I feel like this is the morning after 9-11”. I had no tears, the sadness was too deep. Not because a Republican won but because of who he is. He is not a good representative of what America is all about. He is a bully, a racist, a bigot and refuses to follow any rules, including the one about declaring his tax return. How come everyone else had to but he did not. You do not hide things unless there is something to hide. He does not even represent the Republican Party as there is no Republican that does not honor America or what it stands for. He spews out the energy of his superiority over any other living being and their well fought for laws.

Worst of all, he did not receive the majority vote, the most popular vote. Do you know of any clubs or organizations that do not follow the majority rule? I don’t. Every meeting held in this country follows that rule from the home, schools, sororities, clubs, small town governments, etc. In the United States, it is the law even in the courtroom with the juries. From the time we are little, we are taught that majority rules. Why does that not apply to voting rights? I feel so sad that my vote might be worth less or more than another person’s just because we do not live in the same state.

The electoral might have been fair many years ago before the advent of TV or the internet. But in these days, it is totally unfair. For years I have been upset with the electoral vote as it is racist and contrary to what we believe and that is in equality for every person in every aspect in America. WE are the land of the free.

Do you realize that the majority of votes that Trump received were from white males? Does that sound like the Ku Klux Klan? The Klan were bullies who made themselves superior to all who they decided were worthless so they could be done away with by any means possible while hiding their faces. Doesn’t that sound like what Trump did? To me, he is a perfect example of that. I, for one, do not want any person to think he is above the Law. Do you realize that Trump is of the 1% who is running this country today (or trying to anyway)? Do you think he cares about you or your concerns? Will you join me and millions of others to stop this raid on our government and our individual power? If enough of us pursue this opportunity we have, we will definitely make our wishes known to the ones who have been blind sighted.

I received this email last night that brought a little light or possibility that we who have the majority vote might still have a chance to bring America back from the brink of disaster.

Please do sign the petition! Seems like there is a possibility!

Politicians wonder why the attendance at voting is low and that is because we have discovered that our vote is actually worthless. Why bother to vote when it doesn’t count anyway. WE, as Americans, have been brainwashed into being apathetic. I still believe in the vote being the ONE thing that has been fought for and died over so that we will be free. Let’s change that apathy and prove that EACH vote is important and worthy to be counted. WE are one Nation and so each person is important and irreplaceable.

During my prayer time this morning, I could not stay in the peace and tranquility, my mind kept bring me back to the injustice that this member of the Ku Klux Klan is bringing to bear on the people of America. This morning I received this email which opened up even more possibilities. I am not alone and neither are you. We are strong as this email shows. Will you join us and let your voice be heard this time?

Here is a message that will lighten the load we carry and the encouragement to know who is actually in charge.

The whole planet and its people are experiencing the ups and downs of these times. Here is another good explanation.

http://spiritlibrary.com/ailia-mira/navigating-life-in-clarity?utm_source=Spirit+Library+Updates&utm_campaign=93bef52b6b-Daily_Update&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ef6a5211f4-93bef52b6b-120804410

Today is 11-11, a most powerful day and time for us to awaken to who we really are.

http://spiritlibrary.com/videos/magenta-pixie/11-11-stargate-high-magic-and-manifestation?utm_source=Spirit+Library+Updates&utm_campaign=93bef52b6b-Daily_Update&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ef6a5211f4-93bef52b6b-120804410

I realize that my subject for today has not been one of the most uplifting ones yet we need to know who and what we placing our trust in and what we can do about it. There is an uplifting when we find a possible solution and it is simple to do.

I was given a good suggestion for lifting our moods and it is so true. Go to You tube and put in “Children Laughing” and then watch your mood shift. Children are the innocent ones and the heart up-lifters.
