Part of Herbs & Things March 6th email.
I don't know what is is, but I keep
forgetting this is March, it doesn't feel like it...but March
2nd, I would have sworn I heard a
Red Wing Black Bird, an indicator that springs is really right around the
corner. They left late last year too...Red Wing Black Bird speaks
of...Understanding the energies of Mother Nature. Hmm I wonder then,, I think I
heard while plowing March 4th, "one of those rare March storms is
coming?"
For us? don't know...snow, rain, ice...don't know that
either; As always it will remain to be seen if I heard correctly
or misinterpreted 'their' meaning. :)
'They' have been telling me for days, weeks,
that I need to get back in a routine of
meditating, especially now, because I'm not mowing, weeding the
gardens...things that are mediation times for me. I've started again and it was
a little difficult at first, but I'm remembering mediation not only refreshes
the mind but the whole body...READ HERE about difficulties you may have meditation and how to fix
that, by remembering...even in mediation not one size or way fits all and it's
not always about clearing the mind.
There are many ways to
mediate...doing something you love, sitting in nature and being still...what
works best for you. Believe it or not, some days sitting listening to quiet
mediation music is annoying to my senses, those are the days I need a walk in
nature, to work in the garden, sit under a tree, mow the lawn and or wheel, or
simply be in the solitude of the shower where outside sounds are
muffled.
Tuesday morning I went for
a walk without the dogs, they were kind of driving me nuts, as
all 'children' do from time to time.
That morning while meditating I was told
I need rest and to do something fun today. So, I went for a walk without the
kids...LOL
The day was a beautiful sunny day that felt wonderful. The birds
in the valley were busy with their chatter, though quieter as I walked up
Partridge road.
On the way back down the hill, a Pine tree caught my
attention and I had to walk to it. Immediately I felt warmth, love and In my
eyes it was the essence of a beautiful tree, not very big, but it's beauty and
softness, drew me nearer. I noticed it is growing on the side of a bank and that
in order to grow straight up, its trunk had to curve at a 90 degree angle to
grow towards the sun. I spent about 10 minutes there in it's welcoming energy.
In that time I heard, "Always reach for the sun and you will grow.
My energies can help with your physical pain".
So of course,
for you and me, I had to search what Pine speaks of.
Pine speaks of balancing
strengths, softness and offers emotional protection. It repeals negative
energies...and more. But the one thing that really hit home is Pine is
associated with Mithra... associated with the
Zoroastrian's (remember from The Day After Tomorrow
movie's book) and Mithra is also a judicial figure, an all-seeing protector
of Truth, guardian of cattle, the harvest and of The Waters... but wait....in
Christianity...in Rome,
Mithras was a sun god, and, in Persia, he was a god of the
morning sun...There is much more. But what's exciting that I
'heard' correctly..because as you all know I don't always trust what I am
hearing; this is a wow, that I can't say this was my imagination when I heard,
"Always reach for the sun and you will Grow".
My interpretation, always look
to God and or your higher source and you will grow. Oh yeah...I heard Pine's
message correct...:)

Want a belly laugh...all
you have to do, is let one Maddie Bear dog, wearing an E collar, enter barn, and
see chickens, turn into 6 chicken little's thinking for sure the sky is
falling, horses snorting and running around in the stalls and cats hissing at
the creature that must be from hell. Poor Maddie was just dong her normal thing
strolling through the barn, un-aware of the impact her new look had on the
barn residents. She looked dejected not only from having to the wear the E
collar, but that her kitty's didn't want to play with her, the chickens didn't
come to check her out and the horses were snorting and running from her and she
wasn't even chasing them, which makes it no fun at all.
Makes me wonder, just
what did all of them think she was?
Be
well
Laugh often
Love large
Dig in the
dirt
Grow a garden
and may the sun light your way
