Sitting here, in the moment, I can only
see perfection on Planet Earth. It is one of those perfect Mornings.
Cool but not cold, brilliant Sunshine, the recent high humidity has
disappeared, I don't know if it could be more perfect.
Our old chickens are still laying well;
eight eggs yesterday, pretty good for late August. I have twenty plus
hens, but several are old, some very old for chickens; perhaps as
much as ten years old. I have an old age home for old biddies. If we
were completely dependent on the land, they would be chicken soup,
but we are not and I don't mind them wiling out their days; they
grace our life, they served us well.
Our chicks were two weeks old
yesterday. They are twice as big already! They grow so fast. They
could be 7 pounds by late November. They drink a gallon of water a
day and have consumed fifty pounds of food so far. There should be
45; 35 broilers, 3 Americauna roosters, 6 pullets [to add to the
flock] and one exotic that the hatchery threw in. I try to count
them, just for the fun of it, did you ever try counting scurrying
chickens? I haven't been successful.
A day like this reminds me, that if we
want to help humankind and raise the consciousness of the world, the
place to start is in ourselves. The world looks perfect to me this
Morning. It is perfect. From here, all I can see is love. But as
amazing as my environment is, I could see nothing but drudgery or
even horror, if I was looking through a different filter. When we
look with eyes, through a mind cluttered with fears, we see the fears
out pictured; such is perception.
We all want to heal the world. And
sometimes it cries out to us desperately. We often act as unhealed
healers. The effort is never wasted. What we do, out of concern for
others, will always be helpful. We could even be more powerful, if we
acted out of peace.
No matter what task we do, helping and
advising a neighbor or a mundane task around the house, we will be
more effective when we act from a peaceful place. When we are harried
by a myriad of regular responsibilities, or facing the awesome task
of dealing with a painful relationship, we will always be better off
if we can find peace in ourselves before commencing.
With peace comes the power to change.
When we are peaceful, at our core, the universe opens up to us, we
have help, the energy of the universe is ours.
The light we shine on humanity is much
greater when we are in a peaceful place
Let us be peaceful today.
Love and Peace, Gregg
