The Treasure is Inside You

“The treasure that you are seeking, is inside you.
The beauty of the sound is that it opens doorways for you to go inside…
to make contact with that which you already have”.
~Tom Kenyon

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”

-Carl Jung

…”Your still, quiet waters run deep. Go to the water.  Ask. Listen. The advice you seek is in YOU.”

-Kris Carr

 

The inner world is a big, ever and all knowing universe.   As huge as the expanding cosmos, a lifetime of exploration contained there.  The vibration of atoms and quarks and bosons constantly moving and creating.   As the movement of the Milky Way, constellations, star nebulas so the movement and vibrations of particles that make up everything.  We are made of stardust!

“Happy day to all those who mother- whether or not you have ever given birth. Some of the best mothering I have received has been from friends, some of whom do not have children. They have fed me, held me, listened to me (endlessly! ) & given me strength. I bow to all those who tend & befriend. And I bow to our shared Mother, the Earth- who supports & sustains us.”

Awareness

“Earth’s crammed with heaven…

But only he who sees, takes off his shoes.”

Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Aurora Leigh

-Anthony de Mello

I See Wonders Everywhere!

I see wonders everywhere!  From tiny stills in the forest, to the incomprehensible star majesty, these gifts surround us, asking nothing but our attention.  Power, calm, wind, clouds, big trees, rocks, the creatures… so much – just so very much, to mesh with us and take in.  In gratitude and with a long sweet breath, the day is embraced, the wonders absorbed…

Everything is Energy

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it.  Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality.  It can be no other way.                                                    This is not philosophy.    This is physics.”

                          -Bashar? (many times attributed to Einstein, but from what I researched, most likely Bashar?)

I get lost in the concepts, connections and potentials of the Energy that makes up all of us – makes up everything – from our planet, to the animals, to the rocks and mountains.  It is a mesmerizing subject that compels endless hours…

Einstein did say this,

“Matter is energy.  Energy is Light.  We are all Light Beings”.

-Albert Einstein

 

These are not touchy-feely statements – these are tenants of physics. The implications are empowering and staggering in the ways we can be here in the world as energy beings.  We are energy, we are connected, we are powerful beyond measure in the  creation of our life.  Change your vibration and you change your world.

Bhutan RiverIn this Spring Time of unfolding life, this energetic nature that we share with all the creatures and with our planet, seems more pronounced, closer to the surface, easier to feel and touch.Red Fox  Think good thoughts, feel your energy, touch your connections, direct your intentions.  Be in love with life!

Life will love you back!!

 

“We’re fields of energy in an infinite energy field.”

Melting

 “I feel an indescribable ecstasy and delirium in melting as it were, into the system of beings, in identifying myself with the whole of nature.”  -Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Pond, Beaver Lake RoadPond Melt

Everywhere water is flowing, moving, seeking new adventures.  Awakening the earth, trees, sprouts, bushes and bears.  The melting brings a sweet song and a green promise.

What will you make of the promise of Spring?

“Because when the spring comes,

it melts the snow one flake at a time”

-Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

“Spring rain conveyed

under the trees in drops”

-Matsuo Basho

Pond with Light Prism

 “Daughter of heaven and earth, coy Spring,

With sudden passion languishing,

Teaching barren moors to smile,

Painting pictures mile on mile,

Holds a cup of cowslip wreaths

Whence a smokeless incense breathes.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Creation’s Dawn

The morning stars were resplendent as this new day unfolded.

Remembering that we all live in creation’s dawn is rejuvenating, exhilarating and liberating!  We can always start anew bringing our best and most creative selves to this newest dawn.

“…I also live in ‘creation’s dawn.’

The morning stars still sing together,

Night-Sky-2012-January-1038x576and the world,

not

yet half made,

becomes more

beautiful every day.”

-John Muir

Blue Sky, Tall Trees & Sun Burst

 

Morning has broken like the first morning, blackbird has spoken like the first bird.  Praise for the singing!  Praise for the morning!”        

     Morning Has Broken (Song Lyrics, Cat Stevens)

 

Every morning the world is created.  Under the orange sticks of the sun the heaped ashes of the night turn into leaves again and fasten themselves to the high branches—and the ponds appear like black cloth on which are painted islands of summer lilies.  If it is your nature to be happy you will swim away along the soft trails for hours, your imagination alighting everywhere.  And if your spirit carries within it the thorn that is heavier than lead—if it’s all you can do to keep on trudging—there is still somewhere deep within you a beast shouting that the earth is exactly what is wanted—each pond with its blazing lilies is a prayer heard and answered lavishly, every morning, whether or not you have ever dared to be happy, whether or not you have ever dared to pray.”

-Morning Poem, Mary Oliver

The earth is singing of new life.  Trees radiating their energy.  Water flowing.  Melting, absorbing, being….

Time to get immersed in the wonders all around.

Uncomplicate.  Be amazed. Feel the majesty.

 

“Maintaining a complicated life is a great way to

Don’t try to see through the distances.

That’s not for human beings.

Move within, but don’t move the way that fear makes you move”
