Dear Rainbow,


I needed to see your vibrant colors coming through the clouds.
So many things stirring in my heart.
News of loved ones,
friends and family sick and dying.
Our sisters and brothers in so much pain
all over the globe,
Mother Earth being treated as a money making product,
rather than the Sacred Being that She is.
Enough!!

 Thanks to you dear Rainbow
I can give thanks.
Give thanks that even through the pain and fear
can come the gentle bright light of hope and love.

LOVE...Creator...Spirit...
Knows and sees the bigger picture that I can not see,
and I am learning more and more
to trust LOVE in my own lack of understanding. 

And Rainbow reminds me once again,
that her presence is a message of Hope and Love amid
the dark and clouds.
Look...Seek...See...
and I/we will find 
New Life
Hope
Love 
and 
Peace
amid the dark and clouds.

Thank you, Rainbow
for your gifts to me,
today.

Dear Flower,


What caught my attention initially
 was your color and the fullness of your blossom. 
I am amazed at the number of 
individual petals that create your fullness,
and the unique full circle 
you create together. 
Without each one..you would not be you
in your fullness.

As  I look closer at your center
I see a whole new circle
of stems
and 
what appear to be seeds.

Looking deeper,
gives me a more complete
understanding of you
in all your richness.
And does not looking deeper
also give me a deeper understanding
of myself and others.
Too often, I/we see only the surface
and make decisions and judgments 
from there.

The strong stem next to you
reminds me too
that 
without them, you would not be!!
You teach me, visually
the reality of 
interdependence
for yourself
and all of your family members.

For so long, we in the human family have focused on 
 independence
and that has closed our eyes,  
to the reality
that like yourself
we humans are also interdependent!!

Our physical bodies
with all their systems and organs
keep us going daily without any 
specific directions from us!!

We are fed and clothed, because of the giving of life
by so many of our sisters and brothers in the plant and animal families, 
Any projects that we might undertake
are enabled by the giving and sharing of others.
And
before we close, thank you for the reminder that
what caught my eye was your unique beauty
and that like you,
each of us...has that same attraction..
Our Own unique beauty 
to share with the rest of our family.

Thank you flower, for this fascinating reflection with you.

Dear Earth Cave,

photo: from Face Book

I have no other name for you...I am fascinated by the coming together of a seeming earth cave,  jeweled green water and a large circular opening to a clear blue sky!!  

Seeing from the inside out...rather than the outside in..is what just came to me.
How would I live my life, seeing from the inside out rather than the outside in?

Wow...I truly was not expecting anything like that...Thank you.

The question stands..
How would I live my life 
Seeing from the inside out??

How do I see from the inside out??
I would begin to trust what is inside...
And what is inside??
The Wisdom and Love of our Creator
The Living Breath of All That Is!!

Wow...Wow...Wow...

Will I trust?
Will I ask??
Will I act?

How often did Jesus say...
"Go within!!"!

Before raising the "what ifs" of fear...
Think about, finding exactly what I/you need as you need it!!!
Wisdom
Clarity
Support
Love
Understanding
Peace
Joy
Humor
Guidance

How??
Seek and you shall find...
Ask, and you will receive!!!

Wow..Wow..Wow...
Go Within...
Seek....
Ask...
Act...

Dear Earth Cave, water and sky...
Thank you for the gift you have shared today
I am awed and grateful once again.


We have used a different format than when we have shared before.
Usually I'll reflect and share my thoughts and then ask for your response.
Today, You were giving responses as I reflected; a more real
inner conversation.
Thank you so much. 
I hear you saying, don't worry about the how of the conversation...
just ASK!!
It doesn't have to be pages long
We can be brief and clear!!
