Lessons from Sky and Sea

Embrace the rhythm of life and flow with its currents. Today, I choose to practice presence, immersing myself in the moment with Spirit, and it has been a truly rewarding day. I let go of the burden of overthinking, allowing my heart's desires to gently unfold. Surrendering to the whims of the wind, I find solace in the soothing sound of leaves rustling in its embrace.

Spring has arrived, and with it, the graceful hummingbird returns. It’s been a while since I ventured into the oak grove, which had been inaccessible due to recent floods. Now, I marvel at its resplendent greenery, teeming with vibrant life. The grass, a testament to the abundance of rain received during the Winter. The life-giving rains have transformed the Earth, and wrens sing songs of uplift, as they forage this land inundated with life-giving water.

The vast expanse of Sky fills me with awe, offering profound lessons in openness and acceptance. I gratefully embrace the present moment, this precious gift of life.

In presence, I discover fulfillment. As my mind quietens, it becomes a resonating drum, echoing the universal and cosmic song of power. I center myself in this moment, receptive to grace, lovingkindness, and joy. Amidst the ever-changing landscape of life, I bask in the warmth, energy, and light of the Sun. I also find solace in the cool might and wisdom of the Sea. These forces ground me in the essence of this moment, allowing me to remember the essence of birth and peace. Even as I encounter obstacles on my journey towards personal growth and collective healing. A sky replete with birds is my soul’s song.

I hear a gentle hum, perhaps a bird or another creature, softly harmonizing with the morning sun, the rising waves, the crescent moon, and the benevolent Earth. Its sound is akin to a bubbling stream, brimming with joy. A lizard stirs in its makeshift home under a tarp. In this moment, I feel a deep sense of connection with all living beings. I am surrounded by kin.
