Spring
Abundance, Trust, Growth
There are moments when the pace of change, the inundation of “information”, the breath and scope of all that is taking place in our world today, feels overwhelming. Taking time to allow myself the value of a wider and longer view, can be helpful. The opportunities and possibilities available during this period of unrest, confusion, distraction, and deception, can assist me as I move through each moment of each day.
Amidst all of this, there are moment of wondering, and periods of contemplation, questioning, discovery. I/We want answers to questions, asked and unasked. I/We want to know what comes next. I/We want to know how deep to go.
As winter migrates into spring, as new growth and new life begin to emerge from the darkness and the cold, I find myself feeling renewed and refreshed by the wonder of it all. I open a space for trust in the magic of nature and in the wonder of humanity, as part of nature.
My usual practice of adding a poem(s ) at the end of these posts has had a change of heart today. My awareness of spring feels like it deserves to start with a poem.
Spring
Watching trees leaf out
seeing grass grow tall
noticing bees floating from
flower to flower
offers us a glimpse of Universal
abundance
there is nothing to fear
there is abundance for all
growth and change endure
offering a life unhindered by
man-made illusion
life essence eternal
within each of us
within all of us
Universal wisdom and power
strong, deep
waiting to be recognized
waiting to be manifested
waiting for us to embody our
Divine connection to Source
waiting for us to shine our
Light
as brightly as spring flowers
in the morning sun

Often, our view of what appears to be “true” can seem bleak, it can be important to allow ourselves to take time to look within, and recognize our inner wisdom and our Divine Essence. Observing the natural rhythm of the changes of the season can help us put the total picture in perspective.
While it is easy to put words on paper (or bits and bytes into a computer), we can also allow it to be easy (or challenging, as the case might be) to see beyond outward appearances and bask in the wonder of our connection to the Divine Essence of our Being, and access our Divine right to Be the Divine Wisdom within (which we are and always have been).
Life, and our connection to Oneness, is always offering us encouragement and opportunities to find that space within that Knows how to live in love, harmony, compassion, joy, peace, wholeness, non-attachment, and abundance for all.
How do we, in the midst of an onslaught of fear, disharmony, greed, and other disruptive energies, allow ourselves to Know that we have the Divine Power to effectively participate in changing our world for better? When I/we have the occasional “down” day, feel over-whelmed, over-worked, over-informed, and like I/we have nowhere to turn, how do I/we access what it takes to look past the appearance of “troubles”, and trust the Essence of our Being?
These, and other questions, seem to be part of my daily life, either consciously or subconsciously. My consistent and recurring answer is to continue putting one foot in front of the other and taking life one day at a time, pausing to take a breath, and once again focusing on trusting in Source Energy and the process of change and growth.
Now and then, as I traverse my path, I find that I am able to touch into the power, beauty, wonder, and joy of my connection to Divine Source and All That Is. These are holy moments. Moments when I find myself infused with the possibilities and probabilities that are always present to and for me/us; moments when I find myself honoring the evolutionary trajectory that is part of all life.
In spring, specifically (well in each season, if I am conscious, aware, and present in the moment), I find that noticing the abundance of nature, the magic of flowers and bees and the strength, courage, and determination of humanity to move forward, even if I/we are not sure of our destination, can help me understand that All Is Well, in the grand scheme of things.
As I/we find ways to connect with Source Energy, and express that Energy, we begin to recognize our part in piecing together a larger puzzle; a puzzle that, in total, makes up our Collective Consciousness.
It is my desire and hope that each of us can find a space of appreciation for the abundance that nature constantly provides; that we can open to our innate Knowing of the wonder, power, support, and abundance our ever expanding Cosmos provides; that we can find within ourselves the courage to trust our ability to navigate this earthly life in ways that support our Highest Good and the Highest Good of All Creation.
May we each find our own best way to engage with the ebb and flow of life. May we each connect to and Know our inner strength, as it assists us along our individual and collective path(s). Together we are moving forward, shaping a world that is in harmony with all life everywhere.
May we recognize our connection to Oneness, to nature, to each other, and to the world we are helping to create. May we each find within ourselves the willingness and ability to recognize the illusions that others are using, as they attempt to instill fear, greed, separation, mistrust, scarcity, and other notions into our daily lives.
Can we allow ourselves to realize that those who deny positive change, have their own fears and concerns regarding loosing a lifestyle they believe to be “necessary” to their survival? The chaos and distraction created from that place of fear, does not have to keep us from our inner Light.
May we each and all lovingly, kindly, and tenderly move forward, knowing that every step forward, every loving, peaceful, joyous, abundant, and harmonious thought is a powerful affirmation of our awareness and ownership of our inner abilities, and our connection to Oneness. May we Know we are helping ourselves and each other move closer and closer to a society where ALL Beings are honored, supported, and recognized for the value they bring to our world.
Peace and Blessings to all of us
