Blossoms of Pure Joy: Hummingbird

~*~

Happy Full Moon to You! This month I've been working with the
energy of Fox, Hummingbird and Horse as representatives of
Mother Earth, Father Sky and the Child Heart. I meet many other
animals day to day as well and get a sense of well being when I pay
attention.

I share my journaling in the hope that it may bring you a sense of joy
and connection as well. Thanks for joining me. Have fun with it and
see what it brings to your heart and mind!

Walking in the neighborhood one day I met a Deer with two fawns,
then more Deer and more fawns in  someone's lawn eating apples
from a broken tree branch. Later a Crow flew by with a nut in its
mouth as if to reassure me All Is Well. Abundance Is. In the strong
Presence of Grace All Is Well.

~*~

Fox is close. Clever and content, Sly fox, you walk with me concealed
so I don't see you, yet I feel your smile. Do you wish to speak from
your hidden place?

Yes, I am Fox. I am on the move today so I will be brief. You feel also
that life is moving very quickly, yet you are always right here, right
now. Motion and time are both created by changes in perception.
You see the landscape fly by when sitting in a car so you feel and
know you're moving fast.

New perceptions and points of view are being opened to the People
at all levels now which create the illusion of speed. My gift to you
today is to show that you can stop at any time and blend with your
surroundings.

Disappear and Realize you are still right here, right now. Everything
Is All Right.

Packages of Pure Potential are being dropped on your doorstep
daily. They are called your Problems and you have marked  them
"Return to sender" or stored them in the closet. Or some of you carry
them all day long and they become very heavy.

They are heavy because they  contain the Pure Gold of your Heart.
Go ahead, open One and Look Within. And be sure to keep your feet
warm. Earth Mother sends invisible Golden Rays from deep in her
Heart to Yours this day.

~*~

(I was talking to myself again when Hummer flew in...)

Invisible Joy permeates all Life and matter.

If so why do we seem to create such Chaos?

This is a question from Mind who always wants to know Why. A
Heart that knows Joy is satisfied, or rather, A Heart that feels Joy and
dwells there at Will. To have known ecstasy for a brief moment can
become the greatest Agony.

I am Hummingbird, here to help you through this odd paradox.
How does Great Spirit move through Chaos and Destruction? Follow
me now as I fly free from flower to flower - from woods to
mountains and everywhere in between.

I travel great distances in search of the nectar of Joy, but always find
it right where I am. It is akin to a Whisper in the wind, heard in the
hum of Silence. It is the view from the heights of Sacred mountain
after a long hike to the top. It is the discovery of the hidden treasure
of your heart after the Mind has become still.

I am with You Now and Always offering the hum of my Joy in
Creation. Take a moment and listen. Listen carefully to the sound of
my voice In the Presence of your Soul.

~*~

Horse is the Divine Child, the foal just learning to walk. A young
horse learns to walk the road in stages. She is shy at first and may be
afraid when the cars zoom by. But the Trainer who leads the Young
One day by day along the road helps her to grow in calmness and
courage.

I am Horse. Walk with me now in the moments of fear and feel my
Strength and power. Let the Child of Your heart climb on my back
and I will carry you through moments of uncertainty with sure
footed determination.

~*~

I am the Silent Observer. I am Fox. You find me hidden in the details,
in calmness and in attentive open hearted Silence. I am the harbinger
of a New World, the World of your Dreams, the same World with a
new awareness and a new Respect for Life.

I am the Power of Innocence, born blind and helpless, nurtured in
the den of Loving Kindness, given new Sight and Stamina. I am
Balanced by the Pure Flow of Invisible Joy that I feel instantly any
time I choose to close my eyes and become blind to the din without.

I am Hummingbird, alive in the motion and vibration of All that Is,
sipping the nectar in the flower of All Hearts. I am Love and
Sympathy. I touch the Golden Heart Flower extracting its sweetness
and pollinating it with my touch of Joy.

I am the Blessing and the Blessed. I am Your Mother. I am Your
Father. I am the Child, every playful within You. There is no Other.

I offer Peace and Harmony to you, to your Family, to the One
presence from my Core Heart of Radiance.

~*~

Horse is the Child's helper and guide this month. The Child Heart is
the seat of Innocence. and Purity. If there was some disturbance early
in life we may view this small vulnerable part of ourselves with guilt
and shame.

I am Horse. I offer support to You, Little One. The child wants
nothing more in the beginning than to be held and nurtured in
complete safety and love. During times of upheaval in the world, the
insecurities of childhood may reappear.

You may see the dramas in your life or the world and look for
someone to blame. Who will fix this? You may ask. My child, when
you are shaken to your roots, deep in your Core, remember me, the
Horse. I will carry you into a new day, a new Earth, as I have carried
many civilizations before.

Remember that Mother Earth is herself being shaken to her Core as
She labors to give birth to the new World you dreamed of as a Child.
Remember, that World is not really new, not really "out there" in the
future. It is in You Now.

It is the World where all is Forgiven, All Life is Respected, All is
Love. This is the very Real World that Mother is birthing. And
although you often feel her pain as your own grief, despair, fear and
resentment, You are in Truth helping to Birth this World Your Self.

Every day greet the World with Love and Gratitude. If for a moment
you feel unable to do so look to me, the Horse. I stand tall with four
strong hooves solidly on the Mother Earth. I will help carry you on
your journey to green pastures of kindness, understanding, harmony
and peace.

~*~

Divine Hummingbird, I hear your hum in the depths of my Soul. On
the surface things look bleak some days. Looking out on the World
there is little we can depend on these days. It is a deceit. Yet under
the surface Your Joy resounds. Why do You remain hidden?

Most live in a state of bewilderment wanting happiness but never
feeling satisfied. Will you speak?

Yes, I am Hummingbird, Your small Friend and companion this
month. I am Always with You ever ready to touch Your heart
Flower. Life is so precious and fleeting. The blooms of Summer give
way to Winter cold. This is the time to cultivate the Golden Flower at
the Center of Your Being.

As human flowers begin to open I visit them one by one. I cross
pollinate your Souls with my Joy so that You begin to feel Your
Oneness. As I sip the nectar of hearts I also gain Strength and Power
in your World.

When you climbed the Sacred Mountain it was a clear blue day, and
when you reached the top there was elation, but when you looked
down you saw a brown haze over the valley. There is currently an
insidious Haze over the minds of the People. The blue sky above you
is not as blue as it seems. A subtle doubt and fear pervades the
thoughts of many.

I am here, tiny Hummer, as an emissary from Father Sky whose Love
is so great for You that He cradles his Children of Earth with Clouds
of Purification. As the storm builds and the rain pours from the sky
go inside and remember it is clearing the air and feeding the Earth.

Even on the darkest stormy night you may feel His golden glow
radiate from your own Sun, your Solar Plexus. Let that flower open
now and you will find me there and hear my song of Ecstasy and
Love. My Joy is Your joy which I carry for you when you forget. And
when you Remember I carry Your joy swiftly in all Directions: in
front, behind, to the left and right, above and below.

Remember the clear skies on the Mountain top and know that even
now All is Well. The Great Mystery of Life is unfolding Within You.
With Deep Respect I Thank you for listening for the Hum of my Joy.

~*~

Fox, I feel Your Presence so strong now. Thank you for watching
over us Mother Fox. I am open to Your Wisdom's voice now.

Yes, I watch you constantly from an unseen place. I am Fox, the
Silent Watcher and Protector of the Family, Your Family and all
Children of Earth Mother. I come now at a time when the world o
many appears to be crashing - the world of money is melting like the
ice caps.

There are some who will say it's the end of the world. But I humbly
and compassionately offer that although this is an Ending it is also a
Beginning. I am here this month blending my Love with the energy
of Hummingbird's pure joy and dexterity of flight.

As you learn to Observe through silence as I do you will become
more Adaptable in your Vision. One by One, Day by Day, Night by
Night you will see things in a new way. The Mother is here watching
through eyes of pure Joy.

Pick a moment from Your memory when you felt Joy and expand
upon it. Blow it up like a bubble of Joy with each breath. Then you
will feel Her Presence of Invisible joy. This is the Presence that will
protect you during this time of transformation. This is the Power
within You that is creating a New World.

Whenever you see destruction around you and feel Loss in Your
heart, be still and know that I am with you. Know that what is lost
and broken are just the dust bunnies in the Halls of Creation. And
Mother is Cleaning House.

I leave you with all my Love, Gratitude for Who You Are and
Respect for All Life.

~*~

Today, Hummingbird, I hang out your feeder refilled with red
nectar, the sugar water you Love. I offer this as a symbol of my
Gratitude, Love and Respect for your Presence in my Life. Will you
speak?

Thank You for the nectar. I am Hummer. No one can describe the
taste of sugar, but once you have tasted its sweetness you will never
forget it. So it is with the nectar of Joy offered by the Grace of the
Great Mystery as the Soul Flower of each One. There is no equal.

Look up and Focus on the hum of my Presence which balances body,
mind and spirit. Every day go into the Sacred place in your own
Heart, invisible to the World, beyond criticism and judgment of
Others. Invite me in and I am with you, energizing your whole being
with Luminous Radiance that Guides and Protects You at All Times.

~*~

Horse, I hear you calling to the little Child within me.

Yes, I am Horse, here for you nuzzling you with my muzzle to come
out and play. Get on my back and wee will ride together. When the
world buzzes with important demands and worrisome turmoil the
Child want to curl up in a ball.

You contract, withdraw and disengage your Creativity at these times
and "Work Hard" at being serious and responsible. As a result very
little is actually accomplished.

From high on my back you will ride like the wind, yet connect firmly
to the earth. I am the power of discovery, awakening and innovation.
Hold onto my mane. Let go of the cares and feel my Power within
You. I Honor and Respect the Child within Your Core, Friend, and
I'm always ready to play.

~*~

Thank You Horse, Hummingbird and Fox.

Much Love, Pine Tree /\
