Suzanne’s Personal Quote and Blog for 10/28/2022

Quote

The cold creeps in and the fog blankets the valleys below.

The light dims and the shadows begin to lengthen and grow.
We try to turn on the lights a little bit more.

While the wind makes a noise from the barn door.
The spiders webs lift up and baby spiders swing into the breeze.
The tomatoes whither as they begin to die and freeze.
While the snow has not yet come.

Something calls for us to prepare or succumb.
It is time to look past what we thought we knew.

It is time to step away from things that misconstrue.
There are times that are difficult and tough.

And we need to admit when we have had enough.
There are moments when we learn to listen even more.

And listen to the sounds that want to lead us to stand up for.
Something that will matter before our time is through.

Something that will make some sense out of this milieux.

We had a great time on the coast again. I love to have an excuse to be in the energy of the ocean waves and the wind.
Such places are soothing … while they are also energizing. It is important to notice what shifts us into a more positive flow.
It is a beautiful time to be alive. Every moment can be just that … if we allow it to take us on a journey of sensation, presence, wonder, and if it helps us feel into the possibilities.

We are living in a time when the shadow side of many finally show themselves to us all. We need to see such things. We cannot stay a child forever. We must not turn away from the horror of hate, bigotry, and prejudice. We must confront such forces of darkness when they arise. We must illuminate them so that all can see the darkness that eats away at souls, pulling them down and into those places where despair breeds murder, mayhem, and war.

Always look deep into those places where others hide what is actually controlling their mind and heart.

We must look within ourselves and notice what thoughts, beliefs, and rationalizations also control or shape our opinions and perspectives.
We are learning to be mindful and to listen to those whispers that either inspire the goodness within to express out into the world or those voices that intend to paralyze us as they pull us down into hopelessness and fear.

We are learning to listen with our whole mind and body. We are learning to pay attention and to feel into the next steps before we take those steps.

Mindfulness is going to be important as we move into this confusing future.

Somehow, we must be ready to shift into those next levels of awareness. Because we are finally standing at the door, our hand is on the doorknob, and a light from within is beckoning us to turn the handle and walk through.
