Comfortable and Wise

  

Picture’s origin is not known as it was part of an email.

The most comfortable and wisest people are those who watch their health when they are healthy; guard their country when it is untroubled; and cultivate their fields well when weeds are nonexistent or scarce.
—Venerable Chwasan, “The Grace in This World” - a Buddhist

The Archangels share many ideas with us, and the wisdom today is about being on guard.  This means that we must not slip into complacency about health, protection, growing our food, and tending our animals and children. 

Mankind is a caretaker of many things, and over time, mankind has forgotten how to care-take himself and others.  This is a tragedy that has transpired into many businesses that profit from the idea of doing your caretaking for you.

Today, choose one thing to be more mindful about.  It may be looking after plants at home or in the office.  Become the best that you can be at this task.

Many blessings,

Judy

Wind Speaks To Us

 

Listen to the wind. It talks. Listen to the silence. It speaks. Listen to your heart. It knows. ~ Native American Proverb         Picture on Highway 1 through Banff National Park with wind by Judy Hirst from 2021 There are many people who believe in the power of the wind.  Authors have written about it.  Song writers have penned beautiful songs about the wind.  Animals move with the wind.  And, of course, climate changes with the wind.   Wind tells us that change is coming and often, that it is time for us to change.  Wind reminds us that we are, as the song goes, “dust in the wind”.  For all the wealth and power in the world does not stop how the wind wears down the land and stirs up the sea and oceans into massive waves. Many blessings, Judy

Patience Solves Problems

 

The Ancestors tell us that to accomplish what they have accomplished takes great patience.  Simple tools and difficult environments meant that to build a house or a barn or a fence took a great deal of time.  

Our Ancestors laugh at us because they see that we want everything instantly.  We, the descendants, do not know patience.  Patience brings positivity.  Patience brings change slowly.  Patience gives us the courage to say hard things.

Today, lack of patience causes road rage, crimes against people and businesses, and huge misinterpretations and misunderstandings.

Today, slow down.  Practice patience.

Many blessings,

Judy
