  • My life path is not a done deal.

    Life Path/Story Mazes – #41 My life path is not a done deal.

    Every day that I am open to new ideas proves that my life is not a done deal.

    I am always in a postion of listening for the best ideas to improve my life.

    As I listen, I am acknowledging that there is a powerful Presence which can guide me.

    My attention attracts the best ideas to me.

    They are appropriate and appear in a timely manner.

    When I take action on them, they prove that I can inject new ideas into my life to make it better.

    Right where I am, this can happen.

    Right in the moment of my listening, this can happen.

    The powerful Presence which I am attracting is the Universe Who Loves Me.

    It has my welfare and well-being at the forefront of existence.

    It does this for me and for everyone who listens within.

    Listening within, as a consistent practice, is the way to receive consistent direction.

    Taking action on a consistent basis, is a way to see new life changes happen.

    They may happen incrementally as the Universe prepares us for a new role.

    They may feel like they happen suddenly as our preparation is complete and we are ready to move to the next step.

    The next step will feel just right.

    It may take courage to take the next step, but this is what we have been preparing for.

    As we continue to listen within, we will continue to be guided.

    This gives us reassurance and comforts us as we move into a new life-path.

    All our listening and taking tiny steps place us in a new relationship with the Universe.

    We are conscious of It.

    That makes all the difference.

    We are on a track of awareness and appreciation.

    We know how to include our life desires through our inner listening practice.

  • Comfort of living with Nature’s cycles

    Comfort #33 Comfort of living with Nature’s cycles

    When we lived off-grid in a tiny house in the middle of 43 acres of woods, I became acutely aware of Nature and Her seasons and cycles.

    From my large city upbringing, surrounded by neighborhoods and concrete and steel, I became attuned to the softness and caresses of Nature’s gentle changes.

    Most especially noticeable, were the subtle scents of delicate seasonal flowers.

    These scents changed monthly as new blooms appeared.

    I loved discovering their unique shapes and colors.

    The largeness and immensity of high winds in sixty-foot trees was overwhelming in its majesty as storms built up.

    The scents in the air would change as the storm began its slow, unstoppable, invincible, persuasive motion into our area.

    It had a build-up phase and a draining-off phase as the motion dissipated in its own time.

    We were helpless in the face of such immense power.

    We could witness, but not affect, any part of this cycle.

    A quieter sequence was the progression of light down into the valley from one side in the morning. It moved up the same side as the sun moved overhead to the other side of the valley.

    We watched the sun-line in its cycle as we were flooded with light during the day and watched the beautiful dusk, and then dark, move in for its cycle.

    The sounds of the day and of the night comforted us in their cycle.

    In the heat of summer, we would hear dragonflies as they buzzed across our meadow.

    Hummingbirds had a distinctive and powerful whrr as they battled around the feeders.

    Each night, the soft sounds of bats would float across the meadow as they ate their weight in insects.

    The sound of the whippoorwill and coyotes howling from ridges, and owls answering across the forest had their own frequencies and rhythm.

    The night hosted different scents.

    The moonlight moved across the meadow softly and irrevocably, hidden from time to time by cloudy night skies.

    The quiet of the deer and the playful spiraling of the vultures as they followed thermals in the sky became a part of the rhythm of our life, as did many other aspects of Nature and Her cycles.

  • Daily Peace

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.44 – Daily Peace

    I am noticing a calmer, smoother flow in all my activities.

    Even in the midst of large, life-changing ones, there is such deep calm and peace.

    In the little things, I am finding myself working with a distinct lack of franticness.

    Each step I take is prepared, and not by me.

    Things are prepared for me to do and I am doing them.

    There is no backtracking, no second -guessing.

    Each step is prepared to be taken, and once taken the next step is prepared.

    I am no longer looking ahead, because what is here is so clear.

    I know that whatever is next is also clear.

    This daily peace extends into my work, my chores, my conversations, everything.

    It is a permeating peace.

    I see things that used to be disturbing, and now all I see is how they are prepared, too.

    It is all for the peace.
