The Real Journey

The poster says:

It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know what to do, we have begun our real journey. —— Wendell Berry

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

I have many friends who are currently changing their job or career, their home, and even their spouses/partners.  It is a time when we are being called to a different path then the path we have been on.  For some, it is joyous, as they now get to do what they have always wanted to do.

For others, it is an adventure, and with it comes some fear, because the path is unknown, and sometimes, it means leaving everything behind.  As we walk forward, what we had, drops away.  We cannot go back!  Yes, people say you can go back.  However, the truth is that everything changes and even in going back, you do go back to something new.  Sometimes, going forward is the better option.

What do the changes mean?  More and more, I think it is about choosing to recognize what is right and what is wrong.  We are born with this kind of intuition.  Yet, many of us trade it for unanimity.

What is your choice, today?

Badger Says - Dig In!

One animal that is very in tune with the Earth is Badger.  She digs many dens and will burrow after prey, if it is worthy prey.  She is always busy and it is not often that she is at rest.  When she is resting, she provides her teachings.  This time, her teachings are about “digging in”.  

• If you decide to take something on, then dig in and do it with the utmost thoroughness.  There shall be no sloppy work!
• Find a healthy diet and dig into the farmer’s markets to get the best and freshest of the produce.  This food will nourish your body and spirit.
• Find your passion and dig into it to make it your life work.  All people with passion create “something” that lasts and becomes a legacy.

Rooster Opens The Show

Early in school, we learn that the day starts in the country with the Rooster crowing up the Sun, and telling the animals and humans that day is starting.  From that place, think of Rooster as the Master of Ceremonies for each day.  Rooster crows that “a really big show is starting” and that truly describes the miracles that happen each day.  

Unfortunately for many people, because their head is down, and because they are self absorbed, they miss the beginning of the show.  They miss the commentary by the master of ceremonies, and they miss the magic and the miracles.  If people do pay attention, they focus on those things that are dark and appear broken.

What if you had a rooster to awaken you each day to the beauty of the rising Sun?  What if you could harness the energy of the miracles? What would you do?  

Do it now!

Blessings,
