I am very fortunate.
Chop wood. Carry water.

Find the Quiet
Find the quiet:
It is a fine, quiet winter morning. Little wind. Snow on the field. Gray, blue and purple sky. Quiet.
The horses are eating their hay. The dogs and the cat are napping. I want to ride. Ride often and long. And, I want to be balanced so my horse can develope gait.
It is quiet this morning. I am optimistic and I am grateful. It unfolds, and I am truely blessed far far beyond deserving.
Thank you, Amen.

Groundhogs Day
Imbolc.
Halfway between the winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox.
Easter comes early this year: the first Sunday, after the first full moon, after the equinox. Balance. Becoming harmonized with the greater order.
Ambling. Gonna get there, but in no hurry. A comfortable, steady, ground covering gait. The amble. And this gait is very important in the journey towards Congruence. It takes time, and you can't be in a hurry. Drive and Ambition interfere.
For many of us, that is a problem. We have been taught to value Drive and Ambition. We have been taught that the exercise of the will is the way. Perseverance.
Contrary to learning how to let go...to allow...to Trust.
I am not saying that those things are bad. I recognize how the world works, and how much it takes to get by, get ahead, and to take care of those we love. I will never denigrate hard work and persistance.
But I have given enough of my life to those values. I am coming to know a different way. It does not negate the other, but sometimes you have to let go of the old to learn the new.
And so I am ambling my way into heaven.
