Omen

 I have admittedly been over sensitive this week. I have practiced the art of deep breathing and the grace of letting go. Yet at times I've held onto concerns a bit too long.

The resounding background sound in my Heart is consistent. I am perpetually reminded that I am truly Blessed, Divinely guided and held in the arms of the Infinite and the Always. 

"Fear Not", I am told.

"All is Well", I'm consoled.

"There is no need or want  your very hands do not already hold".

And yet. And still. I stumble. Though momentarily. And humbled. By the Truth as it appears before me.

My angst this week occurred due to issues of Trust. I needed to release my arrogant need to control the behavior of others. And trust their hearts to find the pathways of love and reconciliation.

And so, the Spirit led me to " the sign".

I was late for an appointment. Parking was an unfortunate undertaking, without clear directives. The numbers of the rooms jumped unexpectedly from 300 to 700, defying all logic of both reason and mathematics.

I felt my angst find grist for its ever ready mill.

I stopped at the "rest" room.

The sign on the door healed all fractures in my funny bone. I caught myself laughing out loud. Released from my previous, self imposed bondage.  It snapped me out of my lower self and onto Higher Ground.

The "W" in the word "Women", had fallen off.

"Omen",  Was the message on the doorway.

"Come back Home", was the message I received.

There's an old line in a song by George Harrison that simply states, " Beware of darkness and Thoughts that linger. Take care. Beware."

Feeding the wrong Wolf never truly nourishes.

I am so grateful for the signs and the Omens. The messages written all around me. Like Love Letters from the Most High, Absolute and ever Present God.  Whose background sound Resides within me.

"Fear Not", The Voice speaks softly.

"All is Well", The Voice consoles.

"There is no want or need your open arms do not already hold. "

The Realm of Shadow and Light

 I recently saw a post on social media that caught my eye and captured my attention.  At first I wondered why someone would post such a grim and disturbing photo amidst these troubled times that beg for hope and healing. In the photo there is a doorway that largely reflects the shadow of a gnarled and twisted and lifeless tree. The shadow looms and seems to hiss and contort itself into the face of a monster who has come to devour its prey. I questioned why this photo would be shared with such a trembling and tender world. I could not, however, look away. I studied it closely. I wondered and sought answers. And I decided to read the comments of others who had viewed the post. Through the commentary I heard the chorus.  Through the commentary I was given a metaphor for life.  In one clear voice, those who had commented, sung out this essential refrain: Look Toward The Light. I revisited the photo and shifted my focus. There before my eyes, staring out from beside the dark shadows, was a

Daughter, Move Back

 There was no fanfare. No Angel Wings. No flowing robes or crown of stars. There were no trumpet sounds or epic light displays. But the feel about Her was a Deep Blue Sea, a Star Kissed Sky and the Vast Expanse of Mystery, wrapped both in Presence and Eternity. She looked like one of us. Just like the girl next door or your own best friend or the oldest, most familiar Sacred Space you’ve ever known.  She spoke to me through impressions that I understood instinctively. She was a force to be reckoned with and held a deep command. Though not aggressively or oppressively, but as one in tune with Truth and utter Certainty. She told me to move back. And so, with Awe, I released the dying body of my mother. I released her labored breath, her twisted hands, her racing heart. I moved my chair back to the end of the bed and turned it around to face Her as She drew closer to us both. My mother’s face was turned in the direction of the window.  Our Lady swept Her hand in Graceful, slow motion inte

What the Wind Said

 I have recently had to remember how to unplug and how to tune in. There have been several diagnoses. Some for myself. Some for those I love. A diagnosis can be a slippery slope. Of action and pause. Of reflection and cause. Of claiming, reframing and finding out what we are made of. The daily news confounds my nervous system. Although I feel I must not look away, and I must do my part, a steady diet of what is wrong does not feed me strong enough seeds of what I can do to make “right”. I’ve turned to distractions that I told myself were for my enlightenment. In particular, a series of spiritual stories on film that captured my attention and made me want to be a better person. I visited the social media pages of others who had gathered there. To my surprise they were filled with judgments, criticisms and condemnations. A virtual platform of “my sense of rightness” throwing stones at      “your sense of rightness.”  It was painful and felt like a mirror of what I have to work on within
