It's a wet, autumn morning. Grey sky, loud drips of rain on the windowsill, and
a heavy mist that is muting the colors of the moment. How often do we feel like the weather? When
it's brilliant and sunny, we feel alive, vibrant and light. When it's a
day like today, we feel dulled, lethargic, and stagnant. True, there is a physiological connection to our human
moods and the weather, but there is also a great deal of dualistic conditioning
that has been passed down to us that warm, sunny days are better than cool,
rainy ones. As a human being walking in this world, my ego much
prefers warm and sunny! I'll admit that to the end of my days. I
prefer sunshine and warmth! But my Spirit knows otherwise... My Spirit says, "feel beyond the external to
what never changes...go within to the place where warmth comes from Love, and
joy comes from knowing this is your home." All of a sudden I notice the sound of the birds
singing in the rain. They know where Love is. I let go, take a deep breath, and watch my cat
sleeping peacefully at my feet. She knows where Love
is. I surrender even more and revel in the beauty of
the pink blossoms that are floating in the glass bowl on my desk. (these
are the last remaining blooms from the Impatient plant on my
balcony.) Endless, timeless, moments go by as I fall ever
deeper into Spirit, into Love, into Home. No longer are the trials of gloomy weather and dualistic thinking coloring
my mood and affecting my energy. I have gone within and beyond, and melted into that place that contains everything. Love is that place. It accepts All, for it is All. It resists no-thing. Such is the choice we have all the
time....regardless of circumstance... If only we remember...and listen to the Wise
One... who is our every breath. © Copyright 2011 - Heather Fraser - All Rights Reserved |
