Stay grounded, and not just your feet. How will you make progress if your head is only in the clouds? Look at your feet. Where are they taking you? Tell them to go another way if things do not look good for you or if they are taking you too far astray. Keep your eyes looking always forward at the light on the horizon. Is that not where your feet should be headed too? Get back on your path. Get out of the clouds and back into reality. It will do you good!

In the morning’s light, at evening’s dark, during the changing hours, notice your energy, how it too seeks change, shift, ritual. This is your earth connected self, your spirit, your energetic self seeking recognition of its need to heed the turnings of nature, to be at one with it. Let nature guide you, showing you the quiet introspective times, the times of natural shift and transition from activity to passivity and rest. As light transitions into dark so will it soon do the opposite, in the natural turnings of day into night and night into day. Let it happen as it should and note your own body’s need to naturally turn inward too before the light brings it back to full awareness and participation again. You are as natural a phenomenon as nature is. Get in synch with your own nature and go with the flow! Your body will thank you and so will your spirit!

Guidance comes all the time, in many forms, but do you notice? Do you hear it? Sometimes it is a loud knock on the door or a roar in your ears. Sometimes it whispers on the breeze or comes on silent feet. Sometimes it tells you one thing but means another. It can be a little tricky, so stay aware as to its true intent. Listen carefully for its message. Guidance, the bringer and knower of all things, just wants you to wake up and grow. Can you hear it calling your name? It calls all day long!

Mind plays tricks, body never does. Body is honest and like Mother Earth offers the means to nurture and sustain you if taken care of, if nurtured and sustained properly in return. Love your own body as you love Mother Earth. Care for it as you do Mother Earth. Desire its sustained beauty and life for as long as you inhabit it, just as you do the Earth, and prepare your mind to accept its eventual leaving. The mind, an inhabitant of the body, is like a wild animal roaming the Earth, a foreign entity taking and leaving, but is it conscious of what it does? Align body with Mother Earth, with nature. Be in your body and in the Tao of nature, part of all that is visible and invisible, and see what happens. You might be surprised!

Like water settling, like wind calming, like day deepening into night may your troubled soul find solace and peace in life. May your yearnings be okay with what is and may your desires find that it is enough, for it is in the life you lead that you have all you need. May you discover this and find your way to peace and happiness. Find all of this within the self, in your love of and for the self, in your caring of all that you contain, for yes, you are all you need and like gamboling youth will you find your way to maturity and all that is. Without resistance, let life’s unfolding bring you there.
