It is a balmy 18.1 degrees F, that is a
far cry from the near 30 below it was yesterday Morning. It is
supposed to be normal temperatures this week. Normal highs for this
time of year are in the high twenties.
We have been having a glitch getting
hay. I usually buy four large bales of hay and that is enough to last
the Winter. I only have eight sheep this year so I probably can get
by on three bales. I was supposed to have the hay delivered about
three weeks ago, but my hay man's truck broke down. He delivered ten square bales hoping his truck would be repaired before I needed
more. The delivery of the big bales was delayed again by further
mechanical problems. He optimistically, brought only four more square
bales over believing he would soon be off and running. I fed the last
bale this Morning and he hasn't answered his phone. If I can't get a
hold of him I know where I can get some hay. It is inconvenient, but
at least it is nice weather.
Life on Planet Earth often doesn't come
according to our prescription. That is okay; it keeps our creative
juices flowing.
How often do we have to discover, that
things generally turn out just fine, to quit worrying? And what does
worrying accomplish anyway? I know where I can get some hay tomorrow, if I can't get a hold of my hay man today. It is no big deal. Yet my
mind can make a huge deal out of it, and if I am not vigilant about
my thoughts, I can suffer angst.
No matter how often we learn that worry
accomplishes nothing, we find ourselves in its embrace. Okay, I am
not going to do it!
I know, love and peace, is in the
present moment. And in the present moment, I am in the position to
listen to my intuition and know what needs to be done. Worry robs us
of the love and peace, we could be enjoying, and hampers are decision
making by blocking our intuition.
More importantly, we are channels for
the Love of the Universe, when we are in the present moment we pour
love out unto the world. That is how we change the world. We change
the world by knowing we were created by Love and therefore are Love.
All that noise, created by fear, is part of the illusion. We don't
have to listen to it. When we are quiet and sink deeply into our
being, we get in touch with who we are. We find a deep peace; it is
infinite, it is love. With practice we can go there whenever we
realize we are to involved in the illusion.
I will remind myself today, to get in
touch with my being, whenever I am not at peace. I will bless all I
see and shine love on the world.
I need to get my dishes washed and I
need to mail a letter.
Love and Peace, Gregg
P.S. I went out to mail my letter about 1:PM and there was one huge round bale of hay sitting alongside the driveway. Our Alarm dog, that usually goes off like a siren, didn't even bark.
