Resting on Roots

Today I took a luxurious walk to the park.

The town is quiet. Almost not a car on the street.

Our society invests a lot of energy into
creating the sacred space of Christmas celebration.

What would happen if we invested this same energy,
this same intensity of energy into creating sacred space
of peace.

We human beings have been gifted with a Divine
gift of creating sacred space. This space we can
fill with peace, loving kindness and everything else
that is holy.

Energy follows intent.

At the park I enjoyed sitting on the beautiful roots
of a magnificent tree. He was tall and sturdy and old.
I asked him to keep me warm as I sat next to him
and he did. I rested against his side for about 20 minutes
and I enjoyed every bit of it.

May we all know the gift of creation that we possess.

May we create sacred space in each moment of our lives.

Space that is filled with peace, with love and happiness.

May we not fear inviting others into our space. Especially those
that we deem different from us.

Intention

This lovely and perfect quote was posted by a guy on Twitter.

It is powerful, enjoy!

A day's productivity/effectiveness is not measured by intention but by implementation. Your life goes where your energy flows.

New Moon

We entered the New Moon phase last night. So today is the first full day of our beautiful New Moon.

The celebration of the new moon is a women's holy day in the Hebrew tradition. Rosh Chodesh as it is called. A time to rest, relax and just be. Celebrating the start of a new month.

New moon is also a good time for starting new projects, implement new goals and work towards growth in what ever endeavor you have set forth.

I believe it is very important to take time and acknowledge the cycles of our planets. Those very cycles are very much a part of your life and should be witnessed. The changing of the seasons and even night into day.

When we take time to observe change that is going on around us...the ebb and flow of life's energy it helps us to stay centered and focus on what is within.

Our body is part and parcel of the earth and what ever affects the earth also affects our body, mind and spirit.

I am thankful for the opportunity to see yet another New Moon in my lifetime here on Mother Earth.

Just for Today, I will take time to acknowledge the wonders of the passing of time. And will be that much more conscientious of how I number my days.
