Enchantment

 

Sometimes, we move through life too quickly to see the enchantment in special places.  Most often, it will be in a forest where the shade, the Sun, and the warmth conspire to create the most mystical spots.  Spots where we can see in our mind, the dancing fairies, sprites, and beautiful creatures.  

In this enchanted spot, they are real.  In being real, they are now part of our lives, and they can provide energy to us.  If you feel low, depressed, not motivated, then think of “Enchantment” and see how quickly your motivation can change.

Enchantment, it is said, is about impossible things happening.  For example, the first people that saw a biplane that had never heard of airplanes, thought that the plane was magic or an enchantment.  They believed the pilot was enchanted – made to do the impossible.

When I am given a task that feels quite large, I break it down in to enchantments – thing that are possible but may require some creativity and some hard work.

What will you enchant today?

Turtle’s Wisdom

**************************

Turtle – one that we associate with wisdom, age, earth, water, and fire, had many thoughts to share with us.

Some of these thoughts were:

• Minimize your possessions.  They weigh you down and you cannot carry them all with you.  A home may be carried anywhere.
• Swim deeply into the depths of emotions and look them all in the eye.  You must face them to let them drop away.
• Find ways to be on the Earth and with the water at least weekly.  This is balance.
• Drink much water to get the oxygen into your blood.  
• Withdraw when you need to.  Your home is sacred and you can keep others out.

Blessings,

Expanding One’s Self

The poster says:  I love people who make big dreams feel normal.  Who remind you that nothing is too much.  Who expand your vision just by being themselves.

*******************

Some say that we should learn nothing new, that all learning is the source of discontent!  I see that those who expand, like the flower, grow and live life to the fullest.  I see those who are conservative, and who disavow that which is new, begin to shrivel.  They dry up and life leaves them.

Expanding is the art of moving forward and upward.  It is the movement of connecting deeply with one’s highest self or highest spirit.  It is a challenge.  It is rewarding.  It is renewing.

Blessings,
