All the Best of the Season December 22, 2008

This is the season of giving.   While we should be focused on giving year-round, if we can at least have one time of year when we stop and give our attention to doing more for others then I’m a big supporter of that.

One and a half weeks ago I had an opportunity to fully experience the depth of my gratitude for all the abundance in my life.  That in itself was a beautiful gift.  Yet, by the end of that weekend  I was given one of the greatest gifts ever… to know and understand my personal power.

I appreciate how blessed I am to have a roof over my head, food on my table, money in my pocket, and the love and support of friends and family.  I was provided many opportunities to know that and to give back to others in many many ways that warmed my heart.

Yet to understand my personal power, that is something for which words cannot express the overwhelming gratitude I felt in experiencing my dream becoming a reality in the presence of like-minded friends.   I will leave it at that for the moment.  But in thanks for that opportunity, I would like to give you — my dear readers and friends — the opportunity to experience a little of the same…

Water Wings December 14, 2008

There’s something about the ocean.  The sounds of the surf crashing before moving ashore.  Like a call to home, beckoning for attention.

If our bodies are 70% water, it’s only natural for us to be attracted to water.  Like Spirit curling its finger telling us to come, as each wave curls, Spirit’s finger curls… “come, come and listen to me.  I have something important to tell you… you are not alone.  I am here for you and just as I am one with you, we are one with the sand, the surfers, the breeze, the sun.”   We each make up part of the Universe.  All for one, one for all.  As the grain of sand is a moment in time, you are but a particle of the Universe, of God.

And God invites you to become more.  Expand, learn, grow, live fully, love fully, find peace and joy.  Harmony.

A footprint pressed into the beach tells a story of it’s owner.  Where they’ve come from, where they’re going.  Were they in a hurry?  Did they pause to listen to the surf?  Stop to face the sun?

As the wind blows sand on my back, in my hair, on the pages of my journal, I pause and wonder if those who chose this place as home take time to appreciate its beauty every day.

I have a funny thought.  I can meditate to the sounds of the crashing surf two ways.  I can buy a CD of surf sounds (I’m sure someone has made one for city dwellers who live inland; postscript: see attached video).  Or I can choose the real deal and move to the coast.  I miss the ocean.  It called to me once before, 21 years ago, and I listened.  It’s calling again…
