For many of us Winter can be a long time in passing.
Yet, for those who have never felt temperatures below zero
here is a very descriptive picture.
From -9 degrees yesterday to 48 degrees today the roller coaster ride starts with snow and ends in rain.
Yes, Winter is Passing Through!

Many who know me personally tolerate that I love to play with words… to mix and match meanings and interpretations in my own ways. To get us to reach out of the box of that we are programmed into and experience them in our raw innocence.
So as I was editing this photo I wanted to make it more Vivid and bring out its true Awesomeness and reached a point where it was too much. There was a point of where the vibrations of it were distorted and uncomfortable.
I reflect now on those very descriptive words which we use but sometimes fail to embody for ourselves yet attach to things outside of us…
When Vividness appears in our life
it is a reminder to participate
if only for a fleeting moment
in the Awesomeness of being alive
It is this Essence within us
that we tend to shy away from
lest we draw too much attention
as if being Awesome is to be kept hidden
We find ourselves feeling awkward
not expressing our true emotions
accepting a somewhat diminished self
in a world of our misunderstanding
Let Us Be about embracing our authenticity…
Our evocative, detailed and stimulating Self
whose powerful, stirring and sometimes haunting Self
brings both wonderment and fear to others
Let us Be Vivid
Let us Be Awesome
Let us also know when we have gone too far.

It is the New Moon and Chinese New Year – the Red Fire Monkey, each of which have aspects that will be life changing. It doesn’t matter if you ascribe to their forecasts or not for in all aspects it is a new beginning…
The Blue and Golden Rays are embracing each and every one of us as we move into some uncharted areas which can be unsettling at the least.
Allow them to bring to you
a Peaceful Strength
a Brilliant Outlook
a Deep Serenity
an Abiding Love
Allow yourself to reflect
on Your Purpose
on Your Commitment
on Your Acceptance
to Mother Gaia
Allow all possibilities
for Clearing or Removal
for Transmutation
for Infusion
to manifest
And to become an integral part of your experience
for the greatest benefit to all beings
without judgment or restriction

As the Light of a New Dawn
greets a turning world…
There upon the waters
the energy builds…
Each of us rising
in Peace, Light and Love
out of the stillness

The reversal of what we see
is not only an abstract view
but the beginning
of transformation…
Oh how we live
in such a nice little world
where everything has its place
to let us know
how to relate to it
Yet it becomes abstract
and feels very strange
when we begin to look at everything
from a new perspective…
How we relate to this world
outside of us
needs to be turned
inside out and upside down
if we truly want to transform it
How we create a change
within ourselves
is directly proportional
to what appears
outside of us
It is the resonance within
that transforms and changes
our relationship
to the outer world…
When we truly become aware
that we no longer feel
the harmonics or vibratory energy
that confirms who we truly are
we feel threatened and alone
Yet it is the message
that allows us to look
from a different viewpoint
at each moment in this lifetime
and bring about change…
Turn your world
upside down and inside out…
Transform yourself…
Become who you truly are
regardless of how others see you

It has been a while since I wrote a Morning 1st Glance reflection; so here we go!
It has been a very strange Winter here in southwestern Maine with very little snow and only one week of real cold. Now the 2nd of February and it feels as if Spring really is possible this early.
Yet as you can see in the picture from my porch, just before sunrise, there is a beauty that I see as a Promise. One might ask of what and I would have to respond in many, perhaps abstract ways, of how on some level we all make many promises to ourselves.
Yet in the movement of the Earth which creates the illusion of a rising and setting Sun, we too get caught in illusions of our own creation. Many times we are just unaware and in a state of innocence, awed by all that life brings to us. Then at others, we fail to acknowledge our true passion for life, out of which we made those promises.
So this morning when I saw this beautiful image in the distance, I realized that the field of possibilities is always showing us our capacity to choose again. To re-align with our hearts and those promises we carved on the walls of our mind.
The Promise to live Life
fully and without fear
To reach out and touch
the World we are created in
Create from the pure Love within us
a welcoming experience
One which touches the lives
of all other living beings
Knowing that in that moment
We are powerful Creators
of Peace, Light and Love

Small dinghies
in the harbor
much like choices
wait to carry us
to new adventures
Each one a vehicle
to navigate our existence
here on Planet Earth
Without choices
we, like the dinghies
go nowhere
do nothing
waiting powerless
Let our heads assist
in the untethering
yet align our choices
with our Highest Self
Yes “WE”
are the power behind choices
that create all possibilities
Let “US” choose
from Our Hearts
for in that Choice
Harmony and Balance
is restored to All

Long before I arose from my bed
there was only the Moon and the Stars
how sweet early morning can be
There with thoughts manifesting
busy yet without movement
at one with all of nature
Should I record this or just enjoy the conversation?
The discussion within begins to rise
the mind chatter seeks to disrupt
and this peaceful interlude ends
The sky begins to shift in color
the stark yet balanced darkness fades
the dancing celestial bodies dim
Out of bed I arise to seek a cup of coffee.
Greeting me with a promise of life
revealing my blissful gratitude
another day of experience begins
Yet the Sun has not risen
and the Moon has not set
I sit between worlds
Aware of every moment as it unfolds
without judgment or concern
peacefully drinking it all in

Welcome to 2016…
On the ninth of this month we will experience the first new moon of the year. I’m reminded once again of the many beginnings that come out of stillness of those times in our lives when we have to rely on our own light to guide us.
Over the past few days several old quotes of mine have surfaced, all of which reflect a sort of anticipation, and an awareness of new beginnings within myself.
…So let me share them here for your reflection…
1.8.11
With our hearts wide open
sitting still feels like we’re flying forward…
1.7.12
In Opening ourselves
we allow for the energy
of change
to take it’s place
within our cellular structure.
Never before has this opportunity
been so profound
as to have the whole of humanity
shift both it’s inner and outer beingness
at the same time.
1.7.12
As the world shifts and changes
it will be our intuition
that we must trust
because the lies will be many layers deep…
1.8.14
Quiet reflection is when
the space between you
and what you are thinking
is vaster than what you are experiencing…
So please take some time to meditate, reflect and embrace your True Inner Self; not only for this new year, but this new you that 2016 will unfold before you.
New Moon Blessings to each of you!

Discernment requires a heart
that is ready and willing
to listen and respond
to new information,
an open mind that is prepared
to let go of the old programming
and false beliefs,
and both the heart and mind
working in co-operation
with each other
to see things differently.
