The Sunshine Observer: SO… V12

Been fighting the poplars here on Sunshine Lane. Just before we bought the property, the neighbor to our north cut down 2 huge 3+’ diameter poplars to improve their view. The trees luckily fell their way and were left to be immediately swallowed by blackberries. They also left 2′ tall healthy stumps. Desperate to survive, as nature is, the stumps now produce hundreds of shooting starts seasonally. We do not want hundreds of malformed poplars, so goes the clipping. The good news is we have lots of straight sticks to play with. Currently, they’re being stockpiled for a later creation. As we have more sticks than you can shake a stick at, we’re thinking of fencing, or perhaps a knitting project for really big hands. Oh, the possibilities…

Today our theme is Now Here – Pay Attention.

Going from Nowhere to Now here is simply the expansion of space in the right place. Knowing where the right place is for the expansion is the key.  Sometimes it just about pausing, changing focus and emphasis.  If we want a new or different result, focus on something different.

Our daily 5-minute meditation. The waxing moon has reached the first quarter.

Meditation

Be here now, pay attention and feel any newness.
This is our time to contemplate our existence.
Be here now.
Pay attention to the waves of our breath.
With each breath give thanks to our body from our toes to our head.
The expansion is coming be patient with the reveal.

Poem

Perfectly balanced between dark and light
She is shining bright – yet half in shadow
Then why do our hearts wail?
We long for love, to belong
With patience, our beauty is being revealed, do you see it?
My beauty is reflecting upon you, receive it with love
