Illusion
I'm sure you are aware of how hectic my life has been for
the past few months, leaving almost no computer time at all. I've had to go
no mail on any groups to which I belonged as there is just not enough hours in
the day to allow for reading of posts.
However, I wanted to share with you all a happening from this afternoon.
It's now 10.20 pm on Wednesday the 20th February, 2008 as I sit here with the
memory of nature's and Gods gifts to me.
I was sitting at the swimming pool here where I live watching as my three
little grandsons swam, frolicked, fought, argued, swam some more. The sky was
cloud filled but the sun did shine long enough for some swim time. As I sat
feeling very isolated from adult company a bee flew into the water, entangling
himself in the swim goggles one grandson was wearing. Of course Lachlan brushed
the bee off. The bee struggled to and fro in the water until Lachlan lifted him
to the edge of the pool. I picked the bee up and sat him on a leaf of a tree
hanging over the pool fence. The bee trembled but sat quietly for a few moments
before flying off again.
As the bee flew from the tree a butterfly flew in and settled beside the
leaf. The butterfly watched and waited for a friend to arrive. The friend was a
Dragonfly who brought with it two more butterflies. The butterflies and the
dragonfly flew in and around the pool flying close but not quite touching each
child as he swam. A black bird which I took to be a crow (but I did think raven)
came fling in bringing with it three Happy family birds.
A feeling of the utmost peace washed over me. The boys had been
squabbling but calmed as well did settle over them. It was as though we were
each gifted with a calmness, a centredness not normally experienced in the busy
world of little boys.
The message I read into the gifts of nature were as though they were words
from God.
Yes, Life is busy but we are here for you, to show you the path of
beauty and truth. We can transform your days if you would just allow it to be
so. Each of us (the bee, the butterfly, the dragonfly, the crow
and the birds) are aspects of yourself. Allow us to show you that
transformation and growth continue no matter the schedule you follow. The world
is changing as it has ever changed. New thoughts, new ways continue toe veolve.
We are the evolution. We are the change. We are You and You are We. Life might
seem to be in stalemate. You may seem isolated from all that you hold dear but
this too will change.
These thoughts jumbled through my head and caleld for me to share.
If you too have been going through times which are not as you would wish
them to be, please know dear and beloved friends that you are not alone. There
are many of us walking a path - unknown - not quite how we would like it to be
with the purpose eluding definition.
The circle is revolving. Each part is reworking itself, bringing to each of
us a new direction and purpose.
The bee, the butterfly and the dragonfly brought the same message the
always do. Combined they had a strength of purpose not to be denied.
Please allow me the honour of sharing their gift with you. A gift magnified
by the presence of Crow and her three feathered companions.
it is with love from me to you on this Wednesday night (almost
Thursday morning for me)

The Peace Candle
I ask that you join me each day at the dinner hour (evening meal)
in lighting a candle together, so that we as One People may join
voices together for Peace On Earth.
Peace will come when we are all free to love with compassion each
other, as One family, without the constrictions of past
beliefs.
Together we can create a reality free of fear, greed and
manipulation, where all people in all lands may have the freedom to move
freely in joyful harmony.
