Changing Seasons, Shifting paths

Sep 16, 2016

Sept 16 already! In this part of the world it means summer is drawing to a close and nature is preparing for her “time out” — rest and rejuvinating healing while around the globe, spring and summer are just approaching, having had the winter rest and now preparing to re-seed and burst forth in new growth. Cycle and change are simply seasons of life. When we see these shifting seasons in our own lives with an open heart and mind, our soul DNA responds with renewed courage, motivating our spirits to endure and adapt, renewing hope and purpose. When fall is closing in we begin to see these gorgeous colors of seasonal change, often so beautiful it takes our breath away. Changes in daily life are often just like that, only we tend to miss the “scenery” due to fear of the onset of change, or shifting pathways. The unexpected challenge or sudden twist our plans doesn’t have to mean there is something to fear, it can simply mean a new open door, fresh “potential”. Or it may serve a purpose of adaption, giving us an opportunity and motivation to reach inward for inspiration and insight. Even an opportunity to test our trust in our faith. Faith can move mountains if we trust in Divine intervention. So let change come, it is refreshing and adds oxygen to our souls. Greet change with anticipation instead of frustration, put out the welcome mat for bounty, beauty and hope! Be willing to see potential in all things and be ready to be amazed at the results of an open heart and mind. Wherever you are today, whatever season is upon you, welcome it with grace and courage. All things work together as one when we choose to see the bright side of change rather than remaining chained down to the old by focusing only on fear of troubles and tribulations. Not only for ourselves, but also the lives that we touch daily. Pass on the bright light of perception to others, teach others to see hope in the midst of despair. Show, share, be and teach love even when it is the hardest to do so, and that divine energy will flow right back to us! Choosing the bright side brings light to bear on solutions and keeps the shadows of problems at bay. It doesn’t mean we are blind to the hard issues that we face nor to the struggles of others, but that we are willing and able to climb above them, or reach out a helping hand to help others rise above as well. Once we truly grasp the freedom and grace this brings to our very soul essence, then we too can be like the single daisy that breaks thru the rock to reach the sun. Given a chance, life and love will always find a way.
