VORTEX OF CREATION?

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.

The Lion’s Gate 8-8-8 is now waning but the important thing is that the portal is open for all of us. Here is an article with a deeper meaning of what just transpired.

BLUE MOON AND 8-8-8 LION’S GATE

Beloved,

It is hard to believe physically that tomorrow is the first day of August. Why does summer go by so fast when the other seasons seem to last much longer? We did not have our 5 day heat wave which is OK with me as I sit here with my window open and the light dry breeze and the sun coming in to bathe me with its energy. Yet, the heat waves are what heats up the water in the lake so it feels like your bathing in the spring fed water. The beach is much quieter this year as fewer people come down to enjoy it. I know the young children who used to squeal with delight are now grown up in the later years of teen hood. We do have a few smaller children again but the parents are so busy that they don’t get to come as often as they would like. I am intent on enjoying each and every moment as life does change yet I can enjoy each cycle of life with gusto. When I was younger I used to wonder about the older people. What did they have to do and what did they do? The saying that retired people have: “I don’t know how I ever found the time to work?” is so very true. I am much more content to just sit and enjoy the breeze or the sun than I ever was before. It is also wonderful not to HAVE to do anything you don’t want to do.

My bus trip went to Ogunquit, Maine last week as a side trip. There was a trail alongside the ocean which I was hoping to go on with my scooter. The tour people told me that they were not sure I could go the whole mile with my scooter as there might be steps along the way. I decided I would try it anyway and it was so much fun. The beach and the ocean were below so we were up away from it but the view was great. There were a lot of benches along the way where people could stop and enjoy the scenery. I was so glad that I went as the only stairs that were there led down to the beach so I got to do the whole mile from beginning to end. It was also a great test for the scooter as it went up the elevated parts and down the other side with much ease. I just needed to remember to adjust the speed from turtle to rabbit or vice versa. There are no brakes as it automatically brakes when you take your finger off the forward or reverse levers. It made me feel like a young kid on a scooter and it made many people smile.

Summer is a great time to create memories and treat yourself to those that are waiting for you to enjoy.

The blue moon is happening right now and it is powerful. It is leading a more peaceful and tranquil energy into the Earth and the Love will shine much more in every aspect of life which includes loving our self with less judgement. Here is another aspect of the blue moon from Selacia.

I was surprised to hear that the 8-8-8 Lion’s Gateway began on 7/26/15. Isn’t that the day that the beloved black maned lion was killed? Coincidence? I don’t think so; it is actually bringing more attention to the Lion’s Gateway. Here is some info on this that you might find interesting.

Jamye Price has been a contributor to Spirit Library for quite a while yet I wasn’t attracted to her messages. I decided to give her a try and was pleasantly surprised. This message is very interesting and thought provoking so I thought I would share it with you.

I have had a soft spot for bees ever since they began having their crisis. One of my friends was a bee keeper and he would share some of his honey with me. Without bees to pollinate, our food source would severely suffer. They are invaluable to the human race and our survival. I was so happy to find this article that shows how they are doing.

GOODNESS AND JOY REIGN

Beloved,

Are you enjoying this summer? It has such a variety of temperatures that everyone has something they like. The brutal winter we experienced is a thing of the past, or is it? I could not believe my ears but was told that the Farmer’s Almanac has predicted three winters in a row like the one we just had. I don’t want to put a damper on your summer but want to give you a reason to appreciate deeply what we have right now. Enjoy every moment and every day.

Two nights this week I went to an old fashioned concert on the green of neighboring towns. What a joy that was to watch the little children having the room to run anywhere they chose and so they did. There were two little girls ( sisters?) who brought such delight to all of us as they ran around, looked at everyone, played ball with someone else’s beach balls and the scenario where the older one was teaching the younger one to do the tumbling tumbleweeds. The younger one was having a problem with the last push she needed to roll over so the older one went over and just gave her a gentle push on her button and over she went. They were dancing up a storm and participating in the music. The parents gave them each a dollar and they got a bag of popcorn. They so enjoyed every bite and so did we as we watched them enjoying every moment of their time there. The owners of the beach balls (strangers?), at the end of the concert, gave each one of the girls the blow up beach ball they had so enjoyed. I can still feel the joy they had shared so contagiously with all of us. I feel it inside and then see myself doing what they were doing. It is so invigorating. Try it.

The geese are still visiting us and it is funny to watch them when we put something new into “their” space. The wolf/fox does not do what it was supposed to do; in fact, they stay right in front of it while munching on the grass or while they preen. There is a swan (fake) in the area now but it is so small that they just avoid that particular part of the water and continue with what they want to do. It is hilarious to watch what they do when a “new” occupant shows up. They were even diving under water and coming back up with their huge wings aflapping. I believe they were testing the swan to see if it would come after them. It floats and the surges of the water does turn it around and make it wobble but I think it is just its size that makes it ineffective. I found some plastic swans that are large but they only have the top half of their bodies. I will tell our president and perhaps we could both go and look at them. I think if we put Styrofoam underneath because they are hollow, they would float. There are four of them, three with the neck down in attack mode and one with the head up. I will keep you posted.

Tomorrow, I get to use my scooter again and go on a bus trip. This time it is to New Hampshire to a lighthouse and then to a lobster fest where they have the best steamed clams. The big draw for me is the food but I am so excited to be able to be going. It will be a lot of fun. Enjoy what this season is offering us, the freedom and the joy that is there for the asking. We are being given a lot of opportunities to release thoughts and habits that keep us stuck. Be a child again and willing to embrace the new changes that are here.

Watch this and be aware that these are adults having the time of their life spontaneously. You don’t have to be a kid to have fun.

Lee Harris has some suggestions and they make a lot of sense to me. In fact, when I self judge, I do what he suggests.

This article has many truths and some perspectives that may challenge you a little bit. In other words, there is a lot of food for thought.

Love Letters that you won’t believe. I get so excited when humanity shows just how great we really are.

There was so many this week from www.goodnewsnetwork.org that I am having a problem choosing which ones to send to you. You can subscribe to this yourself if you would like a pick me up once a week. These prove that everyone has a purpose and there are so many ways to send the same message. I like to have my certainty of the goodness of the human race proven to me, over and over, with different scenarios and different people playing those roles.
