The time eventually comes when there is no path visible except that of acquiescence. To acquiesce is not a failure but a logical next step as one faces a truth, either a truth from within or a truth from without, or perhaps a synchronous alignment of both something from within and something from without that will yield in no other way. Acquiescence then becomes the one and only step to take.

Acquiesce with awareness, just as nature’s seasons acquiesce to the new changes that a new season brings. Sometimes it’s just time to let go and take the next best step, whatever that may be. But with awareness you can choose the attitude you take and you can remain open to what will come next. For indeed, even in times of ending there is an opening to something new.

Sending you love,

Notice how the changes in nature all around you may seem to occur suddenly but in reality have been undergoing transformation for a long time. Notice how nothing is hurried. Nature takes its time enacting its processes, letting things unfold naturally and without interference. Let your own inner process of change, of spirit transformation, progress naturally as well. To follow your spirit in life is to be as attuned to it and its needs as Mother Nature herself is to the needs of her plants and animals, letting them find their way each day to what is right for them in their slow progress through life. Pay attention to what your spirit needs and tells you in its natural flow through life and as it leads you to your own transformation.

Sending you love,

It’s never too late to take a different path, to find a path of heart, a path that seeks love, compassion and kindness as its moral principles rather than greed and selfishness. A path of heart includes a nonjudgmental way of life. For once upon a path of heart it becomes clear that you are just one of the many on the same path through life, that all are as one, seeking to fulfill life in the best way possible. But a path of heart is a path of awareness and that is the difference between that and any other path. For once you have awareness then everything is meaningful in the context of past, present and future karma. Once upon a path of heart no other path will do.

Keep your head on. Remain levelheaded and soberly contained no matter what comes to challenge you. To go off your rocker, so to speak, never helps anyone, especially you. Contain your anger at the world and discover its roots in yourself, for everything that triggers you on the outside is only reflecting something going on inside you. Turn inward and investigate. The world would certainly be a calmer, more peaceful place if more people did just that.

Sending you love,

It’s easy to say that you are a spiritual person but much harder to actually be one. To be spiritual is to live according to hard-earned and hard-learned insights, to hold fast to the true fact that you are more than mind and matter, and to operate fully and unconditionally from a place of love, compassion, non-judgment, and kindness, to fully express yourself from the heart, to let your spirit speak and teach you about yourself and to accept what it has to tell you. A lifelong journey of truth seeking and acceptance of self is a spiritual journey indeed, and well worth a lifetime’s probing. To know yourself is to know more than yourself and that you are more than that, for you are indeed a part of everything.

Sending you love,
