Sacredness seems to be a theme running through my life as of late.
Sacred Feminine.
Sacred Masculine.
Sacred Dance.
Sacred Sharing.
Sacred Forests.
If you think, that seem to see everything as sacred, then you are correct!
Sacred Life!
Every moment of life is sacred. Live life in awe of all that is sacred.
Blessed Be.

One
Today's passage reminded me of a recent spirit dance I attended.
There the moderator declared,
"Many bodies . . . . . one breath . . . . . one heart."
So this is the experience of oneness. God in Conversations With God tells us, "There is only one of us."
We are all one on this planet. Today's passage reminds us that we are also one with the planet.
Blessed be me.
Blessed be God.
Blessed be the Earth.
Blessed be THE ONENESS.

What is your name?
As I ponder today's passage, I am struck by King Solomon's questions of a new plant:
What medicine are you?
What are you?
What is your name?
To whom are you hateful and to whom are you useful?
On the rare occasions that a plant speaks to me, I have never thought to ask these questions. Not even to ask its name. Yet neither have I ignored the plant(s).
But I am struck deeper when I pose the questions to myself.
I will ponder this question throughout my day:
To whom are you hateful and to whom are you useful?
What medicine are you?
What are you?
What is your name?
To whom are you hateful and to whom are you useful?

Wisdom
Wisdom surrounds us in all of nature. Today's passage reminds us of that. The birds, the beasts and the fish all have wisdom to share. Do we listen? More than this do we quiet ourselves enough to listen?
I ponder this thought, as I sit in quiet reflection of today's meditation.
Bless, bless, bless and bless even more the all that is.

How Easy
How easy it is to slip out of a daily discipline. Or so I found out as I traveled back to Iowa/Illinois. I started out with good intentions of maintaining my use of daily meditation book.
I was not quite so aware of how much I enjoy a routine. I get up, make up bed, brush my teeth and go to make tea and breakfast. I bring it my room and sit to start my day. I start with mediation and reflection as I eat my breakfast. I then post my reflection.
As I traveled that routine gets interrupted and I didn't even start my day with my cup of tea. I started into a busy schedule and lost track of my meditation routine.
Yet, I did notice nature around me. For instance, have you have noticed the vibrancy of green grass as it rains? It is just a particular shade that I'm not sure the camera or an artist can quite capture it.
There has been one significant change in me since I started reading this daily meditation book. I notice the beauty around me. I often pause to smell the flowers or the tree blossoms. I notice the beauty of storm clouds. And I often tune into the rhythm of Mother Earth. None of these things require that I read my meditation book, yet I somehow become more in harmony with nature.
And by doing so, I become more in harmony with God. And that my friends, never goes out of my daily routine.

May Day
The first of May, a day of new beginnings. Or so it feels to me this morning. I am in retreat this morning, and the process of deep inner work begins today.
Blessed be this day.
Blessed Be.
Blessed Be the Earth, as I tune in to the planet, to Mother Earth and her natural rhythms.
Blessed be the all.
Blessed be this day.
Blessed Be.
Blessed Be the Earth, as I tune in to the planet, to Mother Earth and her natural rhythms.
Blessed be the all.
