Exploring a variety of evolutionary paths...

Seems as we expand our vision of self as part of the whole, we are invited to recognize how truly individually unique we are...
As I intend to allow myself to flow with what is, I (speaking for myself) seem perhaps to be more conscious of my direction than when I took no responsibility for awareness of where I was headed.
Today, I agree to greet each step with acceptance, in the moment, intending the next to also contribute to my evolution.... Aahh... Haaa! and still... there's the piece that wants to know where it's all going... and then, I am reminded that as soon as I step into that 'what next' place... I am no longer fully in this single sacred moment of Now! And it is, perhaps, only when we are fully present that we can be connected to this knowing.

Today, I tap away at keys on the computer, inviting awareness to flow thru fingertips onto a digital page for cosmic distribution. From my window, the path leads to the west, harvest, abundance, gathering. I can hear the Jay (one sounds different from the rest); he scolds me (I think) for relocating him after he ran into a truck and was knocked senseless this spring... it was, I thought, me, the trucks or the cats at the grain store. I scooped him out of the busy driveway and into a box, probably to bury him. Twenty minutes (and a prayer) later, he was squawking in my yard... and then into a tree he swooped. Hhmm... I think... how quickly things can change. Well, back to the real world... soon we will be filling the bird feeders.

Home Again!

Wow... 1st time I can ever remember having a mini-vacation in the middle of Cranberry Harvest!!!

A quick trip west to Wendell, for the Shamballa Family Reunion (http://www.shamballa-americas.org/ for gathering & list info).

Two days of meditation, exchanges, channelled info; together we walked the labyrinth, hiked to sacred spaces and shared wonderful food brought by all!

Monday, a quick visit to Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, Mass., near Rte. 495: Shaker Museum, Native American Collection, Art Gallery, Shop, Restaurant & surprise! a labyrinth! We came back refreshed, enlightened & ready to step into the fall season with harvest, stacking wood, work on the old house & getting ready for winter...

Came home to new stone steps... like floating to walk on them! Amazing energy, design. Thank you Michael Jardin for your vision & design, for being able to 'see' my dream. Thank you Beth, for putting us together!

Back to the barn this weekend, a little more clearing out & rearranging. Still intending studio space by spring!

Nehalennia A Goddess of Abundance and Seafarers

Nehalennia, A Goddess of Abundance and Seafaring was honored as early as 2nd CBCE... so reports this widipedia link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehalennia

Seems she always appears with a boat, a dog and sometimes apples... not a well-know figure in goddess lore... I'm on a search to find out more... is she really who she seems... the keeper of our abundance dreams... a weaver of the knowing of the oceans deep, with 'man's best friend' at her feet... a goddess who throughout all time, has known the nature of our minds. The fruit of our journey, learning to flow in unconditional love thru all, seems possibly presented in the few images we have of her.

Linden Hill homework

Well, the old steps, layers of brick, stone, mortar and more really old brick have been chipped away from the kitchen doorway. Temporary steps Skip made from cranberry boxes and a couple of boards. There's sill repair, shingles, etc. to finish up, the new step, a giant granite stone should arrive on Thursday.

Tho' this is the first blog about our old house, watch for pic series to catch up the process of the last few years... many cudo's to Beth, Five Pine Garden Design for amazing gardens, the new labyrinth, and soon the new step and walk ...

Cranberries

Oh... did I remember to say we have started cranberry harvest... beautiful as usual.
Long days, and when we're lucky, not too long nites... am looking for great cranberry recipes...
to share in a Back to Basics Class class I'm teaching... if you'd like to share... am hoping a
little old-fashioned home-made cranberry cook book may come out of it eventually. thanks.

Saw Elaine Erickson Hanula this evening, she said she'd spent time in Maine with Chris Young...
certainly a lot of re-connecting going on!
