Rose-colored Glasses

This is a wake up call to take a realistic and pragmatic view of the shifts you are seeing in the world around you right now. Start calmly evaluating how you can take charge of your life to be prepared for whatever comes at you. You are much stronger, resilient, and resourceful than you might imagine.

Time to start really paying attention to events, the unfolding, and not only to what you see, but also what you don’t see. What’s missing?

Time to watch for the incongruities, the inconsistencies, and what is between the lines. The signs for what may come in the future are always there, when we pay proper attention and have discernment.

Time to question, question, question.

Time to use not only your logic as you process the world around you, but also to listen to your heart and your gut.

Time to take personal responsibility for your life, rather than waiting for someone else to solve the problems.

Do not be dismayed, but rather be heartened by the resiliency of the human spirit. When we pull together, great things can be accomplished. This has been demonstrated again and again throughout history. This is the big opportunity of humanity to step up to the plate, raise our consciousness, and create a better world and society for ourselves.

Inspirational Quotes:

“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day.” ~ Albert Einstein

“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.” ~ Voltaire

“It is not that I’m so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.” ~ Albert Einstein

“There are years that ask questions and years that answer.” ~ Zora Neale Hurston

“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” ~ Voltaire

Your Essence

Nature has the power to awaken us. A memorable occasion for me was a midnight visit to an ocean beach when a big storm was imminent. The beach was brilliant under a magnificent full moon. Light clouds darted in the strong breeze, while frothing waves crashed wildly on the shore.

The beauty and power of the scene were intoxicating, and my soul was unleashed in a way I had not quite experienced before. As I walked on that beach, I felt the electric pulse of nature and the inherent freedom of my soul, what it means to be simply a human being on the Earth.

The untamed places never fail to have this same effect. They speak to my soul and I have come to understand this:

Our essence is freedom, and we must never let that go.

“Wildness is the preservation of the world.” (Henry David Thoreau)

There Are Moments

There are these moments
that will haunt me forever,
distant, but distinct,

the same lessons learned
again, they won’t be denied,
important imprints,

but the regrets are
indelible too, embedded
in bittersweet light

born out of moments
that will haunt me forever,
distant, but distinct.

Cryptic

John Muir loved trees as much as I do. 🙂 Here are a few forest quotes from this renowned writer, naturalist, and conservationist:

“Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.”

“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”

“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul”

“Going to the woods is going home.”

“Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods. Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill.”

“A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease.”
