Here is this morning's message. It is interesting that it follows so neatly on from the card reading for today, which I did yesterday: Love is all there is. Don’t worry if you can’t see it outside yourself; you can find it within yourself. Look to nature, and love is obvious. It is not quite so obvious in the world of humans, but it is there nonetheless. Nature is filled
When I was walking on the beach the other day, I saw a huge block of polystyrene with half-inch thick steel plate attached to either side of it. The edges of the steel plate had been broken rather than cut, and I wondered what it had been and where it had come from. The steel on both sides had become the home to a large number of large barnacles, so
I was moved to do my weekly card reading prior to my blog this week, but you’ll have to wait until Sunday night for it to be posted. I had no idea why the card reading had to come first, until I had finished my reading, and then I knew that one of the cards in the reading had more that it wanted to tell me. I used Animal Dreaming
I was thinking this morning that, as I near the age of 60, I am finally just about feeling happy in my own skin. By that, I mean it has taken me nearly 60 years to value myself as an individual and to feel content with who I am, most of the time. I began to wonder if it takes everyone this long, and if our culture fails to instil
Last week’s blog left me feeling a little overwhelmed. There are so many things happening in the world with the potential to cause us fear, without reading more in a spiritual book, or writing about them in my own blog. http://www.lorelletaylor.com/think-twice/ I was especially troubled when I heard of the loss of lives in rapidly rising flood-waters, so close to my home. As I stopped to feel compassion for those
I am in the process of reading Sonia Choquette’s book called Walking Home – A Pilgrimage from Humbled to Healed. It is the story of her pilgrimage to walk the Camino, an arduous journey of some 800 kilometres from the French border to Santiago de Compostela in northern Spain. Whilst the journey seemed rather tortuous to her body, she found that her mind and spirit were freed of many burdens
This week’s blog is definitely a case of my teaching what I need to learn, but I know that this is always the case. It is easy to become disillusioned in today’s world. Even if we try not to expose ourselves too much to the doom and gloom of the world portrayed by the media, we find ourselves affected by it, nonetheless. It is easy to feel like the world
As I sit looking out of the window at the light rain falling, I am so grateful. The lawn had started to turn brown, and it crunched underfoot as I walked on it. I had been asking for rain for a while, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. By all reports, this weekend we are due for a good soaking. What better way to spend a drizzly day,
As I mentioned in my blog a few weeks ago, I believe that the story of the Garden of Eden is a ‘memory of the future. Since the day we humans made the choice to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and thus experience the rich spectrum of life which this fruit gave us, we have been on a journey back to Eden. In his
You may have noticed that I haven’t posted any blogs in the last couple of weeks. I have been away on holidays to a place described by many as the most beautiful place on Earth – Aitutaki in the Cook Islands. This small island, with an area of 17 square kilometres and a population of just over 2,000 people, is set in a beautiful turquoise lagoon, surrounded by a coral
