Disruptions naturally occur. No matter how powerful or stable one is, nature cannot be held back. One may try to inhibit or overpower the forces of nature, but it is one’s challenge to realize that one has no control, that nature will, in the end, have its way. So is it with spirit, for spirit will drive one to seek out that which is most naturally important for one to encounter in life. Spirit will find its way to live. These two forces, nature and spirit, align to take one on the journey through life. Study them. Know them. Abide by their directives and you will live a life of meaning and adventure. In alignment of your own nature and your own spirit you will find your way prepared and ready to receive you. Let these two parts of the self guide you.

Let rising tides of energy settle. Let the energy of the day unfold in gentle lapping waves as you stay in the flow of your life with awareness of where you put your feet, what your thoughts are, and how you treat your body. Allow spirit to be present, the awareness of that “something else,” that “other” self who walks always beside you, who resides inside you, your traveling companion through life. Be at one with each other, partners on an adventure. Be open to the experiences of this day with awareness. And with awareness make decisions that are beneficial to the whole self. Such decisions may not be what you ordinarily expect. Be open.

The gathering now begins, the gathering of energy that will carry you forward, separately and collectively. All beings must become aware of this time of shift if they are to consciously partake in the energy of true change. Decisions must be made that are truly beneficial for all, without greed or avarice, thoughtful of all life upon the planet, and even beyond the planet. In the energy of all life, must consciousness that all beings are equal awaken now and be nurtured, trusted, and taken to new and higher levels of attention and purpose.

All beings consist of energy. If the world is to see good once again, that energy must be nurtured and brought forth as that which binds you one to one, and be taken seriously by all rather than a few. In understanding that all beings are energy, an understanding of the similarities and resonance of one to one will be rediscovered and made available for growth and healing. In this manner you will no longer be strangers to each other, but resonant beings on a resonant mission. Seek self knowledge of the energy and you will do your part. Remain open to experiences and trust what you learn.

Embrace your joy. Without fear be happy. Let the self have a nice day. Hold the self gently and with exuberance today for the journey taken and the journey yet to come. Life will embrace you back with equal gentle exuberance.

Honest contemplation of self is an eye-opening activity. Look to your behaviors and question the self as to their growth-oriented properties. Are you on your path? Taking good care of the self? Focused on your immediate goals? In place of behaviors that are not conducive, that do not aid you in your growth, insert quiet time, time for contemplation and introspection, time for facing the truths of the self.

In quiet time clarity will come. Your truths will be revealed and your next steps appear before you. What is revealed may shake you, frighten you, or confront you, but that is good. Dare the self to not only take to heart that which says, “Okay, it’s now or never,” and make arrangements to proceed on your journey, fully aware that you are heading off into exactly where you need to go next.

In quiet contemplation what you seek will be revealed. All you have to do is pay attention, accept, and act from that place of knowing: from your heart. Even in the busyness of your life, take time to take care of the self today.
