this little beauty of beauties
is the best little garden in my neighborhood…
would that my camera could catch
all of the beauty my eyes behold
amidst the bricks and concrete of my life…

Today’s Sage Advice From the I Ching…
Summer Blossoms In My Neighborhood (I) – Photo by Toni Roberts
(Lao Tzu, in the sixth century B.C. elaborates upon the meditative mood as follows:)
“(S/he) who knows does not speak.
(S/he) who speaks does not know.
Close the mouth.
Shut the door of desire.

Blunt the sharpness.
Untie the tangles.
Soften the light.
Become one with the dusty world.”
(Italics mine.)

I Am Finding…
perseverance…
that everything in my life flows in TIME…on time…
with all the pieces fitting together nicely
to make one beautiful whole…
that when I hold my fourth and second CHAKRAS
in an open and receptive YIN position…
perfect YANG energy appears in my life
in the form of a man whose energetic frequency
vibrates at a rate fully complementary
to my own vibrational frequency…
that it does not matter how many years
I have inhabited this human form…
for as long as I leave myself open and receptive
I am born again and again…
and each new woman
comes into being
in the full and lusty expression of her
Goddess Self…
that whenever I surrender
to the so-called Divine…
I am–in Truth–turning my life over to
a built-in, self-correcting system
of planetary evolution…
and that learning to trust this
Great Mystery of evolution
is a process...
and that the more I trust this process…
the more I am rewarded...
and the more I am rewarded…
the more I trust this process…
And finally…
I am finding that “God” really does not need
my assistance in all of this…
just my willingness…
A Little Birdie Told Me…
a little birdie told me…
A little birdie–or maybe it wasn’t a little birdie–
but a big-ass pigeon–
landed on my windowsill this morning;
a brazen, little beast was he.
He didn’t shy–or fly away when I came up to the window–
but stood his ground.
“Hey, pigeon,” I asked,
“What message did you come to deliver to me?”
I then sat
in silence
before the window
and listened.
Sure enough, after a long silent while
my Messenger Pigeon began to speak:
“Slow down. Be cool fool. Chill Mill. You are on a journey of evolution. This is a process of becoming. I know, nothing is going your way. None of the things, events, circumstances for which you lust are manifesting. You must understand that NO THING that is not in alignment with your Divine Purpose—can manifest. You have already committed to The One. You’ve already turned over…surrendered the remainder of this incarnation to That Which Caused you–as you know yourself–into being. Period.
“You are AT-ONE. The Atonement is complete; solid. We are here and you are aware of our Presence.
“Fear not. That is your last stumbling block: Fear. But as We continue demonstrating to you in the world of form–that so mesmerizes you who are caught up in the human drama-myth of separation–that there is NO THING TO FEAR FOR WE ARE WITH YOU–the fear will dissipate. It will lose its hold on your mind as your belief in the validity of the 3-D-world-of-form begins to loosen its stronghold on your mind.
“Take five, my dear! Give yourself a break. Rest. Back-off. Relax. Let. Allow. Relinquish that false sense of control.
“I’m off now, Dearie. Got a few more messages to deliver before returning HOME.
“Don’t you be jealous, now, dear child. One day, you too will be flying HOME. However, for now, you’ve got work to do…wood to chop…water to haul…all of it sacred work.”
