This is Good Shift

Our Thoughts and Actions Create Our Reality

We are in the midst of a consciousness shift.  Waves of energy - positive vs. negative, are being empowered and released resulting in groundswells of emotion.     The ebb and flow of the universe (Yin and Yang) is infinite.  It is and always will be.  This subtle energy has always been with us however, in the past, we weren't able to fully access or realize it but now it's being unsheathed for all to witness.

When we begin to realize, whether individually or collectively (and this is the ultimate goal) that what we do to one another, whether good or bad, has an affect on all of us, we will be at the beginning of understanding.

Humanity has always been connected it's just that we've been cocooned in a shroud of darkness (ignorance) and are now beginning to emerge into the light.

This world belongs to All of Us, not just a selected few.

And now it's time we stand up and claim what is rightfully ours (and has been since the Beginning).

Let us all bring in 2015 with a new sense of direction and purpose.




    

Have We Met Before?

Murmurings

walking down to the mailbox this morning, I was overcome with feeling. 
   the wind was whispering softly through the pines that lined my path.  

as i continued walking, i felt an overwhelming sense that these pines were actually watching me.      

  they seemed to say 'good morning' in unison, as soft murmurs and sounds of rustling branches filled my ears.  

   i stopped and looked up...'good morning to you', i said.

at that moment, an awareness of all things being whole, all things being one, overcame me.

  at these moments nothing on earth matters because i've glimpsed what cannot be seen but can only be felt.

  even though these moments are fleeting, somehow the memories become embedded.  

but how can you reconcile these extraordinary insights with the stark and very dark reality (to many) known as everyday existence?  

  the reality that we rise, we eat, we live, we are.

the (possible) reality that today might be our last day on earth.

  the (possible) reality that someone, somewhere, will do us harm?
there is a unruly savagery to this planet - kill or be killed; the weak will perish, the strong will survive.

  it is inherent not only in the animal/plant kingdom, but also in human beings.    

how is it that we continue to watch hopelessly, helplessly as people are brutally subjugated, tortured and slaughtered across the world?  
  vehemently being denied their natural right to live freely?
where is the outcry?  i only hear silence.
how is it that human monsters continue to thrive, caring nothing about the well-being of those they serve,
  but serving only to terrorize, subjugate?  
why this constant tug of war between good and evil?
 who will win out?
will it be good?
  will it be evil?
what is good?

  what is evil?

we have groups of individuals in this world who are solely bent on wiping others out.
  was it always this way?
yes, but not to the extent that i'm personally sensing it at the present time.      

  there are people in this world who are so consumed by hate for those who will not convert nor subvert their wills, their very souls, into accepting an intolerable and twisted belief (a perverse version of who should live          
  and who should die) based solely on what that particular individual believes that they are:  
hoisting their flag of intolerance and hate and using declination to decapitate.
  did you or i give them permission to do this?
of course not yet they are actively engaged in usurping the will of people all over the planet and will  
  not hesitate to step on my body to get to yours.  

---

think about where we (collectively) will all be fifty years from now.  

  it's not that far off.

is there really a global cabal that wishes only to enslave us all?

  to compartmentalize, dehumanize each and every one of us according to its deformed doctrine?
if so, are we willing to stand up to this rape of the human spirit, this cabal of contagion?
  their mayhem and lies are deceptively packaged.
if so, are we willing to stand up to and resist the attempts by those whose primary goal is subverting the very
 purpose of human existence which is to ultimately live together freely and harmoniously?
as one spirit. 

Worth More Than Silver and Gold

"If Only I Had a Little Humility, I'd Be Perfect" - Ted Turner

One of the greatest virtues in the world is Humility.  It quietly taps you on the shoulder and depending on your response, settles in, permeating your soul with a most Profound Understanding, a fervent and deep respect for all things.    

Humility never shouts; it never argues; it never accuses; it never seeks power and control; never angry or hostile; never seeks dominion over others.

Humility lifts people up.  Humility changes people's lives.

Humility brings you into contact with your True Being:
1.  You are not the center of the universe.
2.  You are not able to solve all your problems.
3.  You are an imperfect being with numerous shortcomings, faults and weaknesses.

As I journey through Life and discover new patterns that exist throughout nature and the universe, I marvel as I look up against a backdrop of pitch black sky dotted with a trillion twinkling stars, and see that smooth, gray silk ribbon effortlessly weaving its way across the heavens, a celestial tether that binds all of us together.

Humility is a profound force for when you realize that you are just a fragment of a much bigger Whole, that you do have a role to play while down here, it brings you to your knees in humbleness, asking for Wisdom and Guidance.

There are many who seek out Humility but are denied access, hobbled by the fortunes they have amassed, stymied by their Egos, the company they keep and special interests.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

The mirror holds the Key

Just use your Eyes to see

Look beyond the Face

Into that secret Trace

Deep within Your Well

There’s a Heaven

There’s a Hell

It can mimic

It can scheme

It can Taunt you in your dreams

The Truth before you

It’s all up to you

Put aside or Decide

The Path you will choose

Remember

PEARL HARBOR DAY, DECEMBER 7, 1941 - A Day That Will Live in Infamy

Gone

I’m waiting for the cold to come

As Threads of Being long undone

The numbing frosty Bitter Sweet

Ice cold rain, mist Silver sleet

The frigid air

The somber sky

A silent Sentinel to my own demise

The Hawk and Owl  

On branch most high

Survey terrain with steely eyes

They call

No answer

For none will come

For I am somewhere

Here, now gone

The brain readdressing

Life breath effervescing

Body in a state of Grace

The look upon this lifeless face

As discarded orbs of Beauty lie

Heaped and tumbled in muted Sighs

The candle sputters  

Its wickered Glow

Reflected on the fragrant Bough

The ground slight trembles

As I settle in

This new found Vessel

A chambered bin

Alongside a next of Kin

Lost World

Innocence

Sling Shot

Yesterday was no ordinary day but a very perceptible, almost abrupt awareness that something had definitely changed, that a veil of some sort had been lifted.  I'm unsure what the catalyst was (if any) and why it came on just now, a realization striking rather quickly like the blade of a well-honed knife slicing effortlessly through a piece of material.

That something was my coming to grips with my own mortality.

When we are ushered into this world we tend to forget that this initiation, this first step, is the beginning of an ultimate finality.

We are loved and nurtured by our parents as we grow through infancy into adolescence and, ultimately, adulthood.  Growing up we harbor happy memories of birthday parties and good times, close friends, swimming classes, ballet and baseball.  We then find our soul mate and continue our journey.  But do we give any thought during this time to growing older?   I dare say, not.

 ~Infancy, Adolescence, Adulthood~  

Life throws many challenges at us whether it be coming home from war disabled and having to cope with a whole new set of circumstances, mustering the strength to overcome and keep going.   Or a newly divorced parent who is thrust into the role of being the sole provider and caregiver for his or her children.  Or learning how to be more flexible with your finances as you've just lost your job.  If I were to offer some advice and guidance on how to cope with Life it would be this:    

We aren't branded at birth as to who we will become as our destiny is all up to us.

Do not be afraid of difficulty for through difficulties we find the resolve to overcome, emerging stronger and with a new purpose, a new sense of direction.

Embrace Life and welcome its challenges for through these circumstances we are able to grow, finding out who and what we are truly made of. 

You are much stronger than you think you are.

When in doubt, pray.   

Reflection

I wish everyone a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving this November 27, 2014.  I ask for blessings to be heaped upon this great nation we live in. We tend to take so much for granted and are reminded, every so often, that life can be very fleeting.  That what we take for granted...safety and security, family, home, children, our religious freedoms, can be altered by events.  Sitting at the dining room table this morning I watched another beautiful sunrise.  Pink and purple, gold and bronze were the colors of the sky. Last night Abby and I sat under the Oak Tree and watched the sunset.  You could feel the warmth leaving and the cold starting to roll in.  Our fiery star slowly made its consummate descent in the western sky as its white gold sprays filtered through the trees, resulting in tiny golden droplets showering everything it touched.  We never know when it will be our last sunrise or sunset.  We never know when it will be our last "I love you."  Please take the time out of your busy days to reflect on how fortunate we are as a people, as a nation.   And, how can we make things even better, for all?  ~ God Bless.  

The Synarchist Fifth Column

A Fifth Column is a group of people who undermine a larger group, such as a nation or a besieged city, from within. The activities of a Fifth Column can be overt or clandestine. Forces gathered in secret can mobilize when coordination with an external attack requires and extend even to uniformed military operations as part of a coordinated campaign. They can be clandestine, involving acts of sabotage, disinformation, or espionage executed within defense lines by secret sympathizers with an external force.

Time Lords

What does it mean we are our Brother's Keeper?  Does it mean that we're all responsible for each other?   If so, how?

Compassion, humility, forgiveness and most of all Love is what all of us are capable of.

When we decide to give to a charity; when we put someone's needs ahead of our own; when we pray for someone's healing; when we visit an elderly person in a nursing home; when we bake cookies for the new neighbors on the block; when we put our arms around someone and share their grief; when we feed the hungry; when we mentor and administer to those in prison, when we rail against corporate giants like Monsanto, who are shoving GMOs down our throats, not because they feel for the masses, but because of greed, these are all examples of being our Brother's Keeper.

This world is full of horror, savagery, brutality, cruelty and barbarism along with those entities who only know how to hate and annihilate.

But this world is also full of goodness and love.  

This goodness and love dwells in the hearts of men and only needs to be tapped.

When we continually feed something bad the end result is bad.  If, in turn, we feed something good we will end up with good.

If we all are truly accountable to and for one another then we need to rejoice in the fact that the more of us who act to make this world a better place, we will be slowing down and reversing the present cycle playing out across this planet thus making a better world for us all.

All for One and One for All.

Will it be possible for you to make a difference after you're gone?  Of course not.

The Time is Here.   The Time is Now.

Starseed

A dazzling fractal of stars forms a blanket over my head
Old friends whisper, "One day you will find your way
  back to us."  
The stirring of brittle brown leaves
  makes me weep
Once succulent, green and full of life
  they now lie discarded at my feet
The air is cold and crisp and biting
I pull my jacket closer around me, inviting
Listening to my Telepath
I weave amongst the well-trod lath
Up ahead lies a looming forest
Mysterious, deep and dark
It holds no fear for I know its bark
Many magical and wondrous things have
  happened here
Elves and Gnomes, Faeries and Sprites
  gather here all in the pale moonlight
This is a dense, deep, dark hidden realm
One that I know and oh, so well
Giggles and shouts of merriment and laughter
All gather here to meet with Enchanter
Mimicking and whistling they spin a new rhyme
Out of shadows steps The Enigmatic French Mime
Ivy and holly and mistletoe, too
All intertwined in the stately tall yew
The sweet morning dew that blankets the floor
In the morn we awake to hoarfrost and explore
What have the Urals to say?
Did they see many on their way?
The dancing lights
The many small people
Who soar around the tall, tall steeple
They live far away
They visit us often
Many are they from

This President and the Democratic Party, in lockstep with the Republican Party, have defaulted on their oath to the American People.

We are fast losing the last of The Greatest Generation, of which this honorable and gallant man is a spokesman, those defiant and courageous young Americans who fought in World War II.  

Stop the race-baiting; put an end to the hate mongering and the mob savagery that is now being reported in different towns and communities; stop being herded by those whose only motive in life is to amass for themselves more and more power, at the expense of  God fearing, law abiding Americans.

There is a battle underway for the very soul of this nation.  If you don't stand up for what you believe in then the direction this country is headed will be decided for you.  

Don't be one of those unaccounted for - MIA.

The news is rolling over and feeding upon itself. There is a small respite in between the gross, the silly, the stupid.   It' like a kettle on the stove. First it starts to give off a little steam, its insides churning ever so slowly, then it's full speed ahead at a a raging boil.

And it continues its raging boil until we lift the kettle off the burner.    We fill it and set it down on the hot burner and it starts to boil again.  A pattern has emerged.      

We are, in a way, enabling bad things to happen.

I look at it this way...you think something long enough it will whole or partially materialize.

We are to quite an extent the rulers (thinkers and doers) of our own realities, thus the world.

When your mind is constantly subjected to the drone of bad news day in and day out, watching in horror at yet another senseless act and waiting for the next one, have you considered that you might actually be playing the role of enabler?

Have you ever really sat down and thought about all the harm bad news is doing to your brain?  Have you thought about all the negative news that your brain is absorbing as you watch one bad event after another?

If the collective news media were to shut down we'd not hear anything about anything.  If anything bad was occurring it was occurring in a vacuum.

No sound, no picture, just peace and quiet.

Time to read a book with the kids; time to sit down and enjoy a coffee; time to take a relaxing bath.

Time to thank G-d for His creation and the fact that we are here on this earth to elevate and empower the good within ourselves, not the bad.

No wonder we have so much trouble in our world, we are enabling the bad to grow and persevere.

Penetrating ever deeper into our psyches, dictating and making our decisions while it continues its incessant drone beat, ignoring the good that is all around us and within us.    

Slavery

We succeeded in ridding ourselves of one form of slavery but have embraced others.

We are slaves to many different slave holders.

Take a look at your credit card debt. Where are you right now--thousands and thousands of dollars in debt?  Did you know that when you charge something on your credit card and the merchant asks for your signature on that little receipt, you have now entered into a contract between the merchant and the bank that is guaranteeing those funds?  That you are fully liable for the amount you charged to the bank (credit card company) plus other applicable fees if you don't?  And isn't it so very easy to keep charging and charging and charging without looking at how much your monthly credit is actually costing you?    Pretty soon you're way over your head.  Yes, some of the responsibility definitely falls on your shoulders but doesn't the bank bare a good portion also as they are focusing soley on your desires and your II want" "I need to have", your greed?  They really don't care how much debt you accumulate as they have lobbied for laws to go after you in protecting their investment but what about you?  You can lose your home, your job, your family, your reputation.

Their goal is, under the guise of making it way too easy for you, is making as much money as they can.    

We live in a society where those powerful individuals and institutions in charge of us are making it easier and easier and more convenient for us to surrender our individual sovereignty each time make a credit card purchase and all because we are made to feel that "we need this item', or "that one," constantly consumed and carried away by another feel good moment.  

We live in a society that has seized upon our weaknesses and is flourishing from our own "I Want Mentality," knowing full well that we can't say no, that we just gotta have it for if we go without it, our lives will be ruined.

Rubbish.  

I am just focusing on credit card debt.  There are many, many other ways we have willingly enslaved ourselves.

Could there be a more meaningful existence awaiting us if we all decided to stop using our credit cards as a means of exchange (credit cards as just one example, there being others) seeing that we're being taken for a ride. taken for granted and being used?

How about a future existence that actually empowers the individual and not some self-appointed We Know What's Best For You corporate giant?  Look at how much we believed in the CDC.  We were led to believe that they were protecting us, they had all the answers, There obvious inability to know how to handle a dangerous situation, Ebola, their conflicting words, has shown the light of day on their inability to act and upon their We Know What's Best For You hypocrisy.  Isn't this another sorry example of betrayal of the public trust?

I don't have an axe to grind with corporations or businesses as they greatly contribute their awesome prowess to many worthwhile endeavours, but if we don't like where our hard earned dollars are flowing and we don't necessarily like their agenda and we feel we aren't in control about who is accessing and using our money and we are confronted by outright lying on their behalf to save their behinds, can we not exercise our rights as sovereign individuals to do something about the situation?

Isn't this all about taking control of your own destiny?

What if two million (or more) of us tore up or credit cards on national t.v., challenged others to do so and handed a list of our grievances to a particular credit card company?  Do you not think that they wouldn't set up an emergency meeting right away with their top level executives on high alert, asking to meet with us in emergency session to see what could be negotiated? You bet they would.

What is wrong with wanting more out of life?  What is wrong for righting wrongs that we see?  What is wrong with expecting to receive something back (if only a little) instead of always giving, giving giving and receiving nothing in return?  

Why, on G-d's green earth, do we CONTINUE to allow others to control us and do our thinking for us?

Has your light bulb gone off yet?

Are we capable of making the decision that we're not going to reward the schemers anymore by continuing to play the role of victim, as they constantly suck us dry for their political agendas and other nefarious reasons?

You cannot be a victim if you REFUSE to be one in the first place.

The schemers demand more and more of us as we silently allow more chunks of our flesh to be sloughed off, turning over more and more of ourselves, letting someone else decide who we are, what we are and what we are capable of becoming.  

Don't you think that what you earn, who you are and what you stand for in this miserable and complex world is much more important and worthy TO YOU as a complete human being than to some other entity, some other enterprise or some government agency who continues to exhibit a great disdain for the little guy?

There is a Great Shift occurring on this planet.  We are in the beginning throes of another (necessary and needful) alteration to mankind's collective brain, effecting a change that will be for the true and lasting betterment of all.

Mankind is waking up and throwing off the shackles and chains that have held it in bondage for thousands of years, in favor of a better world for all whether it be rising up to refute and refuse a government or banking system that has utterly failed us, a religion that touts and speaks of tolerance and togetherness but is only about annihilation or other systems that clearly have not worked but only exist to suck us in, appealing to the lowest and miserable common denominator that lies dormant within each of us.

If you encourage and empower good, good will prevail.  Likewise if you encourage and empower evil.

We cannot have it both ways thus the enormous spiritual battle that is now waging war here on planet earth today for humanity's soul.  This battle is playing out in full view for all of us to see.

Now is the Time to take control of your destiny, take a stand and empower yourselves, your lives, your world.

This world and how it operates is based solely on the decisions we make.  Don't keep giving away portions of yourselves to those whose only goal is your further enslavement.

All of us no matter where we reside on this planet are born free.  No one, NO ONE has the right to refuse, deny, detract or extract this from us.        

Human beings were never destined for slavery but to be a fully commissioned presence, a colorful and vibrant tapestry of commerce and talent, a willing partner and a willing participant in the ultimate goal toward the well being of all those who make up our celestial world and in which earth and its inhabitants are destined to play a big part.    

Can we all say together now, WE AIN'T GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE?

The Messenger

Black Bird, Black Bird, what have you to say, for I am one who is listening......

The cries of the mighty Raven echo out across the land.  "Haw, haw, haw," he shrieks as he soars far and wide. "Haw, haw, haw," as his fervent warning reaches out to all those who will hear him.

"We live in perilous times."  "We are running out of time."  "The time is drawing near."  "Gather your loved ones and bring them to your nest."

"Haw, haw, haw," he shrills, warning anyone who will listen.

You can always discern when an animal is alerting you, warning you of impending danger and doom.

Or are you one of those who is so caught up in your own little world, relying on technology to save you or on another person, denying the existence of a supernatural intelligence that oversees All things, consulting institutions, organizations and/or relying on alcohol or drugs, or your own limited perception and knowledge, believing you have all the answers, impervious and immune to the natural world that surrounds you so that you summarily dismiss this warning outright, paying it no heed?    

Woe to you.

"Haw, haw, haw," as the mighty and wise Raven continues to circle even higher overhead, surveying the countryside and continuing to warn anyone who will listen.

The old hag stirs, her scant clothing and dirty, matted hair, long and filthy nails and calloused hands clutch a long and gnarled stick, her evil, sullen, dull and cloudy eyes scan her surroundings while she continues to stir the steaming brew at her feet brimming with sordid, repugnant, putrid and discarded parts, poverty and disease, squalor and bitterness, envy and hatred, ugliness and despair, war and strife, fear and loathing,    She quickly surveys her surroundings to see if anyone is spying on her. When she is convinced she is not being monitored, she slowly and slyly licks her lips in crazed glee.

Cold and ruthless, cunning and calculating are the blackened and hardened hearts of all those who have gone before her, accepting and being consumed by the darkness on behalf of undertaking humanity's demise. She counts herself as one of them.

These are the evil ones, those who were commissioned by Lucifer to perform the many evil acts according to his plan that have plagued and beset mankind for so long.

But times are changing.   There is hope but only if we prayerfully and meaningfully ask for it.

Those evil doers accomplished Lucifer's dirty works on behalf of him, an entity that had willfully turned his back on God's lawful teachings and all before God's watchful eyes.

Woe to man, woe to man.  Had he not succumbed to tyrants and despots and liars and thieves, had he not been dumbed down by those who act only in their own best interests, had he not been ridiculed and humiliated into accepting his own weaknesses and therefore stripped of his abilities to fight back, having relinquished any courage whatsoever, he may have stood a chance.

Had man been wise enough to throw off his chains and shackles long before now, had he been bold and wise enough to unleash enough courage within himself to withstand the onslaughts, muster the resolve to listen and learn to the wise instruction from the learned counsel being offered to him, he may have stood a chance.

Humanity is standing on the precipice.  Can you not feel it?

And we are in need of a miracle.  This entire world is in need of a miracle.

And, we need it now.  

God willing, He has heard this prayer.  

Please Don't "Sock it to Me"

Have you ever wondered what the heck happened to those socks you know you just put in the dryer?

How many times have you pulled out the clothes and found that one sock was missing?

This is one of those Great Mysteries of Life.  You wonder, I know I put it in there so how come I can't find it?

You rummage through the laundry and still, no sock.  Then, a couple days later you're looking for something in a dresser drawer and voila!, there's that missing sock. Somehow it just wandered away and attached itself to something else.

But, thank goodness you found it, right?  I mean, who can wear just one sock?

Aren't kids like that?  First you see them, then you don't.  They dance and dart around you like little fireflies, smiling and giggling, hiding and playing, full of life and joy and wonder--in their own little worlds--and then they're gone--off to school, or at a sleepover or at summer camp.

If we don't keep track of them, if we don't provide them with the nurturing environment they need to grow into loving and caring human beings, if we don't tend to their needs, answer their questions and set examples of what is right and wrong, then they too may well wind up missing from our lives.

Hopefully, if we do some soul searching and make some amends, we will find them just"hanging out" with friends or simply sitting in their room, quietly reading a book.

Parents are caretakers.  We have an obligation to care for our kids.

They belong to us and we belong to them.  It's a special symbiotic relationship we are obliged to fulfill as we agreed to take it on in the first place thus embracing and enjoying one of life's most wonderful experiences (not to mention challenges).      

But it goes deeper:

Kids are not errant socks but they sure can wind up socking it to us (and themselves, in the process) in some unimaginable and hurtful way if we don't abide by the contract we signed and agreed to as responsible parents and stewards of their futures.

Individually, We are the world.  Exactly what is it going to take to unite We the world?  How much more will we idly stand by like robots resigned to the role of reactive spectators (as opposed to proactive) to local and world events, wringing our hands in agony and despair while we watch some crisis, some bureaucrat, some government agency or some neer-do-well with an axe to grind purposely and flagrantly direct the outcome of events that may adversely affect the rest of us? How much more will we stand by and submit to lie after lie after lie?  Why do we consent to further hobbling ourselves, willingly relinquishing our God given natural rights as human beings, parents, brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and voters to a system that is only interested in promoting a virulent ruse on all of us, as it continues it self aggrandizement in pursuit of perpetuating the status quo?  Consuming us in its tireless quest toward increased power and control?   I have a few suggestions: First you must be angry enough and fed up enough to do something about what you are seeing. Second you must be willing to take action against The Behemoth for this hierarchal order exists only because we allow it to.  Are you angry with a school policy that you feel is adversely affecting your child? Then, make an appointment with the school and confront the problem and defend your child.  Are you unhappy with the drugs poisoning your neighborhood and infecting your children?  Then band together and go after the source.  Are you unhappy with what your child is "learning" in school?  Then find out what other alternatives you have available such as a charter or a private school.  Do you need help in finding the money to help pay for this, then look at religious institutions, grants and charities.  Are you unhappy with the way this country is going? Then run for office.  We are not going to be able to institute effective and meaningful change (that benefits humanity instead of enslaving it) unless we first make the decision to become the change.  If you continue to be satisfied with your "victim mentality" then you are a part of the problem.  Take up the challenge of finding out just who you are and what you're made of. Step up to the plate.  We are all in this together.  We are on the Titanic and she is sinking. We can either lower the life boats or jump to our death.   

Blood Moon, Full Eclipse in Aries - October 8, 2014, 3:51 a.m PDT and 6:51 a.m. EDT

Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac.  The symbol of Aries is the Ram. (Ramming speed, ram it down your throat, a bill was rammed through congress, the matador was rammed by the bull, one ship was rammed by another) Aries is ruled by the planet Mars and in Roman mythology Mars stood for The God of War. Aries' energy can be turbulent, (hot tempered, flagrant, tempestuous and impatient).     Keep a lid on things.  Watch your step.  Don't bite off more than you can chew. Watch out for accidents.  And, more importantly, keep an eye on national and world events and what's happening in your own neck of the woods.   

The Tower Card in Tarot:   The Tower Card is ruled by Mars and is about the lies shielding us from the Truth.  It is about Change and Upheaval not necessarily bad but something that may come about without warning and being unprepared, is something we will be forced to confront.  It could be a belief system or a relationship that proves to be false or unhealthy.  Now we're shocked and surprised. Hence the tower being struck by a lightning bolt (that came out of nowhere). Our perception of what we once believed in is shattered. We are now forced to undergo or initiate a new reassessment of the situation we find ourselves in.   This can also be a time for institutions and leaders to take a tumble.  This can also be a time of probing deeper inside ourselves, sorting out the how comes and whys.  This can be uncomfortable but may be the right time for a relationship to end as it is not meaningful anymore or we may find ourselves drifting away from a belief system--something we once thought we believed in and trusted, but now decide it has no place in our lives.

A Timeless Message

Leaf Face

Several weeks ago I started asking the Oak tree to pick out an Oak leaf for me to tuck in with my Tarot Cards.  This is the same Oak Tree that birthed a Shaman Stone.  I've affectionately named this Oak tree, Ruffles and Flourishes, (because that's what it sounds like when its leaves are buffeted in a strong wind).  On my way past the giant Oak this morning I stopped to give it its morning hug and tell it how beautiful it is.   Just as I was carefully stepping over its tangled toes, my eye unexpectedly caught the sight of a leaf sticking up and out of its crook.  Interesting.  Yesterday afternoon we had a mini monsoon which was quite unexpected since the weatherman had only forecast isolated showers.  So, one could argue that the leaf blew off the tree branch during the rainstorm and landed in its crook.  I must admit, this is a distinct possibility.  But the way I spotted the leaf was pretty interesting as it acted like a little beacon (hey, I'm here!) and the thought immediately came over me, "Here is the leaf you were asking for."  No other explanation needed.  The minute it caught my eye I distinctly knew that it was not some random act of nature but rather a rational and precise answer to something I had asked for.  Upon viewing this leaf some may call it diseased and riddled with age, mottled and not worth the effort to keep, but appearances can be deceiving.  Isn't it really all about the message, "Ask and You Shall Receive"?

Expect the Unexpected

Cougar: A large cat of the family Felidae native to the Americas

After our morning coffee, ole Grumpy and I finally had time to call the gravel hauler.

We're sitting at the dining room table as ole Grumpy dials the number.   "Hello," the lady answers.  "Hello, we say.  "We're calling to find out if you folks are hauling gravel?"  She replies, "well, sure we do, when did you (silence then a shriek) ..."Randy, turn off that damn noisy weed eater and get over here quick!  There's a critter in the front yard!"

(Unintelligible reply--what the??? we hear way off in the distance)  Again she yells, "Randy, hurry up!  You know, a black and white critter--a skunk!"  (Pandemonium and noise in the background) "I'm sorry, she says to us, "I should have been more professional on the phone."

We all break out laughing.    

We tell her about an incident we had several months back.  We're sitting at the dining room table looking out the window when I head to the kitchen.  Ole Grumpy startles me-- "get back in here"!  You're not gonna believe what's standing on the pool cover! 

I came running over and we looked out the window.  Lo and behold there was a small feral hog standing somewhat precariously on the edge of the pool cover.  You could tell it wasn't happy as it was unsteady on its feet.  Note:  Where there's one feral hog around you know there's got to be One Big Mother nearby.   It turned and ran into the tall grass and instantly was gone.  If you hadn't seen it you would have never even known it was there. 

Then we went on to tell her about another encounter one week ago.      

It was late afternoon and I was coming home from town.  Ole Grumpy was following me.  He got out to unlock the gate and then climbed back into the truck so he was a few minutes behind me.  While he was walking back to the truck I started driving up to the house.  As I rounded the corner by some large trees I spooked two deer.  Nothing unusual.  They took off across the drive in front of me.  But what immediately followed them and close on their heels was something very unexpected.


It sprang up and sailed through the air, with the greatest of ease.  I couldn't tell if it had been laying close to the deer (certainly seemed so) or if it just happened on the scene.  I personally believe it was the former.  I estimated it to be about 80 - 90 lbs, light brown with dark markings on both ears and a long tail that closely matched the length of its body. 

My mind was saying, "that's a cat" but one breed I definitely had not seen around this neighborhood.

Turns out it was a Cougar.  Cougars are excellent stalk and ambush predators and this certainly could account for why it was so close to the deer.

This is the second time I've seen this animal.

The first time I saw it its head was showing above the tall grass so I couldn't see its body but when it stood up  and slowly ambled off into the pines I knew what it was.   

This time it was brazen enough or hungry enough? to be seen stalking its prey in the open.
----------------

The moral of this post:  Be prepared.  You just never know what is lurking around.  Calamity and Chaos take no prisoners.  There are predatory animals out there and they don't always happen to be animals.  Always be observant and aware of your surroundings, no matter where you happen to be.     















  

Laugh a Little

First we lost Robin Williams, now Joan Rivers.  These two gifted human beings had something in common-they could make us laugh.  Now, we'll have to learn to laugh at ourselves.

Fore Play

It is time for Obama to step down.   

Obama has now elevated 18 holes of golf to this country’s highest national security issue, superseding taking any time whatsoever to put together a plan for combating a new terrorist threat (ISIS) and one, by the way, Obama was well aware of over a year ago.    

Are you as concerned as I that a President of the United States who took an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution of the United States and Americans, can’t be bothered to do either as he is more interested in flying around the country at taxpayer expense in order to play another round of golf?    

That the President of the Free World doesn’t have a smidgeon of a plan to offer to combat ISIS but other world leaders have presented theirs? 

Does Obama even take these threats seriously or are they just an ongoing distraction, another nuisance wreaking havoc on Obama’s endless penchant for playing just one more game of golf?   

           

Because of Obama’s golf hegemony and his incredible lack of leadership, his unwillingness to confront serious problems, Obama is in denial, thus creating a very dangerous precedent, giving the go ahead to those in the world who wish to do us harm.   

    

This country is on a collision course with a very dangerous destiny and one that could have been avoided, if the President of the United States had done his job.  

Obama’s abysmal failure to act or even care about 4 Americans brutally murdered in Benghazi, and the fate of two Americans who were just beheaded (words are meaningless unless followed up by action- everybody knows that) plus a Marine Sgt. who continues to languish in a Mexican prison, is ample evidence that Obama doesn’t consider these issues worth consideration.     

Yes, the White House issued a statement to the effect that the State Department was working the issue with the Mexican government to ensure the release of our Marine but was running into difficulty.   Yeah, right.  But we can invite thousands (millions?) of undocumented illegals into this country with just the stroke of a pen. 

  

Obama wants to be remembered and he will be.  His legacy of remembrance will be a monumental Dereliction of Duty.   

By his unwaivering passivity in the face of another rising terrorist threat, his I can’t be bothered attitude for a United States Marine wrongly imprisoned in a Mexican jail and the whole world witnessing the brutal beheadings of two Americans,  Obama is letting the whole world know who and what he truly is.  

A miserable failure as a president and a miserable and shallow excuse for a human being.
