Fox In The Shadows

              

Fox sits quietly by the edge of the clearing, in the shadows, and waits for me to be aware of her.  She has been a regular visitor for some time.  Today, she comes to speak to me about working in the background – the shadow place as it is often called – because in the shadows, you can disguise who you are and why you need to do things a certain way.

Fox has had experience at misdirecting and at shape shifting.  When you have young, it is the one way that she can easily protect them.  She urges us to spend less time on the internet, and in sharing our private lives.  She asks us to be outside more.  

She sends us blessings.

About Failure

                      

The writing on the picture says, “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another, with no loss of enthusiasm.” - Winston Churchill

These days, we do not seem to be able to recognize the difference between success and failure.  What I mean is, some successes are actually failures because they harm people, the environment, animals, and damage or pollute water.  An example is building a state of the art wind turbine farm on the prairies that provides excess electricity (success) but causes hearing impairment to those that live beside the turbines and kills migrating birds because it is on a migration path (failure). The turbines are big and eyesores (failure).

France is creating modified trees with small fans as leaves that will turn in the slightest breeze and create electricity while being easy to look at and which do not harm birds.

May your day be full of new ideas and fun things!

Meditation and Meditation Practice is Fascinating!

I see the act of meditation and the practice of meditation as two distinct tasks.  I enjoy reading about meditation too, so maybe the study of meditation is also a task.  I find it all so warm, and funny, and educational, and inspiring.  

Although most of us see meditation as a practice connected to Yoga – at least that is my impression of the Western belief – meditation has been here for ages – with the earliest written record going back to Hindu scripts from 5000 years ago.  I feel that meditation is much older than that date.  When the first people gazed at the stars and wondered about life and the stars, they were meditating. 

Below is a paragraph from an article on Meditation, from soulcurrymagazine.com.  If you feel guided to read the whole article, it was originally located at http://soulcurrymagazine.com/sc/tips-inspire-creativity.html. Note that Soul Curry Magazine is no longer in business, which is a sad thing.

What tweaked my interest here is the whole idea of meditation inspiring creativity.  I find that when I meditate daily, at the same time, even for just 10 minutes, that I am more creative in my thinking than when I meditate daily at different times and for different lengths of time – or perhaps I simply don’t recognize my creative periods that are stimulated by those meditations.  Regardless, if meditation inspires creativity, then I believe that it is a worthy practice and one that should be pursued. 

MEDITATION INSPIRES CREATIVITY

Meditation Creativity
Every meditator is definitely a creator because he or she is creating the higher levels of consciousness within, and with this higher level of consciousness, all beautiful things will happen.

There is a profound relationship between meditation and creativity. A non-meditative person cannot be really a creative person. Now sometimes people are allergic to the word “Meditation”. What they don’t understand is that the real objective of meditation is to be in the right state of mind where concentration, contemplation and awareness manifest in the being.
