The Practice of Listening

Communication is vital to any healthy relationship and your relationship with Spirit is no exception, in fact it’s the most important conversation you need to be having. 

My connection was static this past summer, all of my attention being focused on our Valkyrie and her well being. For months, I allowed stress, worry, sadness and anxiety to rent space in my head—negative, low vibrational energy that I had long ago evicted. Thankfully, prayers were answered and Valkyrie is on a path to wellness again, so those soul sucking energies were not even able to unpack. Like unwanted guests, they got the boot. 

Life pulls us in many directions, often leaving us too drained and distracted to hear when Spirit speaks, much less listen—and listen we must. Sitting with Divine Spirit this week has been like drinking cool water after walking many miles in the desert. Crystal clear messages were delivered by angels unseen and felt deep within my soul. The beauty of coming back to that sacred space is knowing I am never alone. My being is once again exalted. 

Listen. Take care of yourselves out there. 

Goldenrod

Goldenrod grows in abundance on the easement behind my house, swaying gently today on a pleasant autumn breeze. The crystal clear blue sky is a picture perfect contrast. Mother Nature’s beauty is miraculous to behold. When was the last time you just sat for awhile, and observed the scenery around you? 

Dragonflies, their striking iridescent bodies, catch the sun as they dip and dive all around me. Turkey vultures circle high above on unseen wind currents, their six-foot wingspan, black on blue, slice through the air in a well orchestrated dance before dining on a meal macabre. Sugar ants, never at rest, walk single file across my fence and an anole suddenly skitters across, catching the attention of my dog who sniffs and snorts in its wake. 

It is in these moments that peace overwhelms me. It is in these moments that Spirit fills me to overflowing. It is in these moments that I feel Love beyond measure and I experience gratitude in incomprehensible abundance. 

I hope wherever you are, that you took some time to nourish your soul and give thanks for the gift of Life. 

Be well.
