PUTTING ONE FOOT AHEAD OF ANOTHER

A parade of beautiful Mornings has blessed us. Yesterday Morning, while sitting on our porch, we spotted a pair of indigo buntings, cavorting in the back yard. Such beautiful creatures. We have seen them, fairly frequently, alongside the driveway, away from the house; but this the first time we have seen them in the yard. Either the wild animals are getting less fearful or my vibes are getting gentler. I have encountered situations where I look up and a deer is standing only a few feet away. Yesterday, this happened, and I took the opportunity to ask her not to eat my Honeycrisp apple tree. I planted the tree three years ago and the deer, have kept it from developing, by eating the leaves. This is a recent phenomena. We have lived here, almost forty years, and just in the last few years, have the deer bothered the apple trees. Last evening I netted the two trees most bothered by the deer. Maybe, we need a bigger dog.

We are gradually getting caught up, due to our late Spring. There are still, a few things, I would have normally done a month ago. No matter what we have to do, or what obstacles are before us, we can only put one foot in front of us at a time. When people ask me casually, "How are you?" I often reply, "I am putting one foot ahead of the other." This is meant as a positive. No matter what our lives are like, we can go forward. One step at a time. We, go forward, and with resolution, we will get to where we are going. We are learning, not to overwhelm ourselves, by seeing what, we think needs to be done. We stay in the moment, and do gently and joyfully what we can.

We sometimes find our selves slipping [or backsliding] into worry. Before the worry takes root, we can yank it out of the garden of our mind, and toss it on the compost heap. A good metaphor, for this time of the year, as we pull weeds from our actual gardens.

Light is getting stronger, love is intensifying. Most of us feel it in some degree, some greatly. As the light increases, so does the polarization. It is, as if, a world of Chaos is existing, alongside, a world of Bliss. It is harder and harder to be, a little bit, in both. As the light gets stronger, we are forced to choose. We will reach a point, where it is obvious, that our thoughts are manifesting. We choose love. We choose to keep our minds free of negativity. We don't want to visit the world of Chaos.

As we pay attention to our thoughts, we learn more, everyday, how important they are, we learn they are the building blocks of our particular universe. Moment by moment, our thoughts paint the picture, we think is our reality. Ah........... but when we stand in the light, that we know is there, we can cleanse ourselves of all negative thinking. This shower of love is available, always. We don't even have to turn on the faucet. Just turn your mind to Love. The shower is there.

Lets stay in the Light today. We don't need to be aware of the World of Chaos. It is not our world. It is a strange and alien world. We belong in the World of Love. The world of Joy. The World of Peace. It is our World.


Love and Peace,  Gregg
