Returning to the peaceful Green Mountain State of Vermont.  Photograph above:  Texas Falls, Vermont.


BELTANE is the season of GROWING and I would like to share some Beltane thoughts


Staying in the NOW, address all issues in your life (however you perceive them as either blessings or problems) with an overcoming LOVE.

When you do this, you will experience such a serene feeling of appreciation for everyone and everything  now enriching your life


Your love will grow expansively and it will sink the taproot for its nourishment into the fruitful depths of your awakening spirit.

Your heart and mind will grow as they respond to this spiritual
stimulation.

YOU will grow.  YOU will have more to give freely and unconditionally.  YOU will be ready to receive with outrageous delight  and gratitude.

BLOOM and GROW in the NOW.  Start becoming and being the infinite joy and beauty you were born to express.



Bloom, Bloom, Bloom.  We are as amazing as we dream, imagine and ALLOW ourselves to be.

So MOTE it be.



BLESSED BE.

Looking at the Vermont Waterfall pictured above, I am filled with wonder. 
We have been taught by many sages, again and again, the words of Siddhartha "We cannot step into the same river twice."  Look how fast this water here is recycled.  I am filled with wonder because I know this is true..  The "enduring" wonder of life is its constant change.

About Me True Hippie/Political Radical, through and through.

I am returning from a sojourn in Arizona to the Green Mountain State of Vermont. There I will be among kindred spirits for a time of reconnection.

I will be plugged into community recycling (reuse before recycle). I will be plugged into a food redistribution network for struggling families and the homeless. I will be plugged into an educational endeavor about the true and enduring spirit of the hippie and politically radical movement that started in the sixties and grows. This endeavor will be examining the foundation of the movement.

Most important, I start today and I will start everyday with "talking the talk and walking the walk" and if you are experienced, you know what I mean.

I will be living on the edge of a beaver pond and walking around that pond will be my daily meditation, weather permitting.

Temporarily, my "bucket list" will become infinite and at the same time be limited to one coordinate in longitude and latitude, the beaver pond. I am sure I will see a new beaver pond each time I view it because as the Siddhartha taught "We cannot step in the same river twice". All is ever changing. The pond, the activities of the wildlife at the pond, the reflections of the sky in the open water will always be different. Each meditation will bring me new reason for gratitude, simplicity and deeper inner peace.

I love the Universe and the Universe loves me. Devout Pagan, Eternal Optimist, Activist, Educator, Grandmother. Crone, Artistic by nature, Mystic, Living constantly in respect for Mother Earth in all Her beautiful complexity and infinite mystery, Vigilant and active in all environmental issues.
