WESAK VS PENTECOST

Posted on by

Beloved,

 Spring is here and one flower is prolific.  The lowly dandelion; that you either love or loath as it takes over the most cared for lawn.  It is a beautiful gold color so it brightens even the dreariest day. It reminds me of the Golden Finch, a golden bird whose male spends the winter being the color of the female, brown and suddenly it gradually turns completely yellow. I feed them and delight in their flitting about and spreading the golden feeling of joy all around the entire area. It is also a valuable nutrient that our body can use. Now, another use for it and you will shake your head in disbelief when you discover what dandelions can be used for besides delighting children who love to blow on them when they turn white.

 We are all concerned with pollution and the ways to offset its damage. Who would have thought that seaweed would be an extremely component of the solution?

 Who among you has never heard of a store called “Old Navy” that carries the best jeans you could ever want to wear?  Well, a young 7 year old had a question for the store and I applaud her for actually bringing to their attention, something that has bugged me for years. Women’s pants do not come with pockets! Somewhere along the line, the fashion industry decided that pockets would make us look fat so they did away with one of the most essential items in male and female clothing. Even my son could not understand my frustration.  He said: “Mom, you don’t need pockets, you have your pocket book”. That remark makes me even angrier.  WHY do we women have to carry everything but the kitchen sink in a heavy bag that eventually damages the strongest shoulders.  We women have been given the duty of carrying everything for everyone in our purses. How many men just casually ask their spouse or partner to put in their purse what they don’t wish to carry themselves? This young girl who has not been brainwashed yet brought the problem out in the public.  See how she handled it and the reply of Old Navy.  I sure hope this goes viral. 

 The simplest way to stem the tide of judgment of those with autism and their caretakers is to join forces with them.   Let us all read this and expand our compassion for the humans who cannot handle all the stress of everyday life. 

 The more you seek wisdom the more you realize that all beliefs are so similar that it is like a  precious recipe your family adores is also made by others but maybe with just a touch of a different spice. This is a very special week as it celebrates Buddha returning which is called “Wesak”. This week also celebrates Pentecost in the Catholic religion when the Light of Christ is showered down upon the masses. The more we try to be different the more we realize just how similar we are. My strong belief is that we are all one species on this planet Earth so please let our species be aware of our connection. Each species on Earth has its little differences like differences in color, size, nutrition needs but we are still only ONE species.

WESAK & UNUSUAL HAPPENINGS

Posted on by

Beloved,

Spring and the spring rain certainly bring new growth. We have had an abundance of rain as my lawn is overgrown in areas that cannot be mowed because of the water.  It definitely increased the birds that came this Spring.  The Baltimore Orioles have increased three fold and also the hummingbirds.  One day I had to go out and feed grape jelly to the Orioles three times and they have not had their babies yet.  In fact, I had to move one of my hummingbird feeders much further away because there was so much activity at the Oriole feeder that they were not able to rest or even catch a sip.  I love this activity as it is a sure sign that we humans are going to be able to be this free as we shed our winter clothes and get to go outside more even if it is to only work on the land.

I must share this with you as I found it so interesting.  That is why I am a little later with the newsletter because I wanted to hear the WHOLE thing to see if I was inspired to share it with you.  The first part I will include the written AND the video so you can choose your favorite of getting the news.  The first part led me to the longest part and the questions kept bringing me more info than I was aware of before. There is also a clip or movie as part of the longest part that I highly recommend.  Enjoy.

Are you aware that this weekend is the Wesak Festival, a yearly celebration, and also a blue moon?  If you do not know the meaning of this powerful weekend, open this article.  I have never heard it explained in this simple way and it made it more powerful for me.

MEANING OF WESAK AND OTHER JEWELS

Posted on by

Beloved,

Are you enjoying the warmer weather? I AM. Of course the grass is growing faster but while you are outside clearing it, you hear a symphony of bird songs. I love that the sun sets later. I don’t always see the sunset because it moves behind the trees for 8 months of the year but I Am enjoying it now. In fact, I try not to be anywhere at sunset time because the sun shines in my windows, it even goes across my bed and lights up my bedroom. The sun comes in my kitchen every day that it is out but only in late spring and summer does it come in on the other side of the house. If I am unable to sit to enjoy it, my breath gets a little lighter every time I pass by the windows as it just seems to light up not only my home but my mood. A reminder to me to stay in this moment as that is all there is.

I have solved the problem of the squirrels eating the grape jelly by moving one of the feeders to a pole where I have sprayed PAM which makes it too slippery for the critter to climb up. I have another feeder hanging from the tree on a shepherd’s hook so I sprayed just the top part of it to see if it would work. The squirrel just slid right down onto the feeder and started to eat. I ran out, made a lot of noise and then started to laugh as he kept trying to climb back up the pole to the tree branch but failing. He finally gave up and just jumped off the feeder to the ground. I think he got the message because he has not come back. I don’t want to hurt the squirrels but they eat so much that I cannot keep up with the feeders. In fact, I was going out to fill both of them three times a day until one of my friends mentioned that she cuts an orange in half and puts it on the hook and when the Orioles eat the inside of the orange, it leaves a cup for more jelly. Now I only need to go out maybe twice a day. I thought those of you who might be feeding Orioles would like that tip. Even if you don’t have a feeder, you can put a half orange on a hook and use it that way. The Orioles are here for such a short time, maybe 3 months until the babies are strong enough to fly with them on their journey back.

Can you tell that I am a warm weather lover? I don’t want to ignore the hummingbirds as they are such a delight. They are here also and I have three feeders for them. This spring has been different with the birds and the squirrels. It seems they are hungrier than usual. I don’t know if our unusually warm winter did something to their food supply. The only thing I can figure out is that because the spring was much colder, the bugs were not out which is a food supply for the birds especially. Thank God for the birds that eat so many of the bugs that irritate us, especially the bats. They are the experts and eat the most especially mosquitoes and most people have fear of them because they are not aware of the gift they give us.

It is this time of the year where there are more humane stories of rescue. The single mother goose on my lake has joined with another family of geese. I have not seen them for four days but I am sure they will be around. Nature takes care of its own.

Abraham has quite a message for us. Listen.

I have only seen one swan on the lake since I have been here but I was not aware that they present a problem to the geese. Perhaps it is only the black swans. Do you know?
