Life's Little Miracle in Turbulent Times





As the season is changing so am I. I feel the soft cool breeze across my skin and cuddle up under the covers at night with the bedroom windows wide open. This is a favorite time of the year for me. The days are still warm here in the high desert. The nights are chilly, and the skies are clear. The grass is growing and the chickens are laying eggs again.

Life is all-ways changing. I am learning to 'live like the raven' these days. Learning that when I 'plan' I find myself up against a brick wall. When I follow my higher guidance, which sometimes means I find myself 'doing' no-thing at all, I am amazed to find that all is taken care of. This action of Being is one of life's miracles, one that is most of the time overlooked by most of us first world humans.

These are turbulent times. Most people are feeling like the floor is giving way under them. But what is really happening? Could it be that life is just balancing? We have been a Nation of more of this and more of that and not taking time to give life anything back, and/or for that matter, not even noticing what life is.

Most are now being forced to make choices about what they really can LIVE with and what they really don't need to LIVE.

It will all work out in the end. It all-ways does. Raven does not worry about where her next meal will come from. She doesn't have to. It's provided by Nature. All-ways has been. The materials for her nest have been available as needed. Shelter from the storm has been there too. She just does what Ravens do, she flys in the sky and finds her place within the current of the wind. She may sit on a branch and call to another as she watches the never-ending cycle of Being. And so was with humans. And can be again.

Breath deeply, feel the Love of Being, and Know that as the cycles of the seasons turn, so does our lives. I feel renewed again, wind is stirring and so am I. Movement going somewhere, I do not know. But it doesn't matter.. so I learn to let it go.
