Dripping UP

Dripping up ....

 

   By the laws of nature ...

          .we know when an icicle melts and drips , the water droplets fall  down to the earth ...the cycle of water now complete .the cold clear ice melting back to water to nourish the waking and warming earth .......

   But laws as we know them are made to the best of our ability within the experience of those that create them . 

    The visionaries area able to go a step further and create new  ...offering laws that apply beyond the realm of their own personal experience , as they are able to have a view into the future and yet also value what is now... able to see that now will become more...

   Mystics and great teachers are able to understand the Spiritual laws..and guide those ready to learn to go beyond their daily existence to a place of creating their own worlds..a place where love can grow ..the power of prayer and conscious intent their magic .

   Break any of the laws.......and the consequences follow ..or so it is taught .

 ...Break natural law and you will crash to the earth ...fall on your face ...gravity wins . Yet we still can fly to the moon ........

    Break social laws,. if merely by being so far outside the box that you do not "fit' and the consequences follow .....no place to belong ,.,,no companions to play with ..you get kicked out of the proverbial sand box .

   Break the law of Sprit and the monster of Karma becomes your companion . You live a life of contrition not really understanding why ...but this is not the man-made laws of the Church ..not rules.....Spiritual laws all revolve around loving yourself and others. Here is Broken hearts, broken promises , misused dreams and power ... .......That is the only rule Karma understands .

   Life offers the knowledge that even when we goof we are suppose to try again ..ultimately finding success .....as ..happiness and joy , abundance ..not really finding anything ..but living it ..not an end but a way of travel ..the "why' we are here . We are all worthy of so much more than we allow ourselves to have . When we take this and understand it ...and live life fully ....putting it into daily practice ..we find wisdom .

   Learning to judge less ..love more ..and actively seek joy ..and beauty ..not to the exclusion of responsibility ..but as a responsibility to ourselves .

   We own mistakes ..but do not wallow in them as acts of destruction ...but rather see them as distractions or delays .on getting to where we intended to be ......... gifts of learning along the way !

   I am the same me .......though I am older ..not much has changed except the view through my illusion is at times these days more a mist than trying to look through a solid wall. No one is perfect. I am  not as awful as I have thought myself to be in moments ..and I am not as kind and good  as  I had hoped to be in others.

   We all struggle to do the best we can in the instant we act or speak ..Sometimes we still get it absolutely wrong .......terribly wrong .......and sometimes we get it right !  I try these days to look more at intent ..without totally taking the fun out of living .

  I believe I understand my motives more than I did once ..at least I hope I do .  I can only guess why some one else does what they do ......and that is more energy than I wish to leave out there ..

   Instead ....... I follow my heart better and hope they do as well . ..

  We can't know everything ..we can only own that we may have changed our decisions had we known more .. The look back does not change what we knew then.  Guilt is a waste of the moment ....even if we look back and can say ..I knew and did it anyway ...then say ...I'm sorry .if only to yourself ......forgiveness is already given the moment you ask . You can not change the event that happened one bit ! ..Not with guilt ..not with anger ..not with apologies .....

    So what changes ? ....attitude ........how the mind sees the events......time heals all wounds they say ..but it is not in changing what has happened ...the events do not change .....but the space that time offers allows you to change perspective ........It makes an event more dimensional .......As if you could walk around behind the canvas and see the artist painting it .

    Look back at that life changing event .......with the eyes of a child ......or of an artist ......or view your life as if you were seated in a theater watching a movie .......You are the creator in each moment ....... the canvas is yours ....and the only laws that apply are the ones you accept.

   Look at the shadows and the way the light plays .....see with your heart and not your eyes ...Don't think it ......feel it ........Look through the illusion to what is actually there ......

   What is being reflected back to you ?

   Now look into the reflections ......you jsut may find that the icicles are ' Dripping Up" .......

Winter in the garden ..leaves us inside looking out ..........but I like to also believe it has us looking inward too .....Like a return home from the travels of the gardens blooms to a time of much needed rest ....regroup and planning for the next big adventure .!   If you have not yet done so .......order real hard copy seed catalogues ....one of the last freebies of  it's time ......The pictures inspire and delight .......and are wonderful for planning next years gardens .
  I hope you have found a place in the yard for the birds to eat ......winter is not complete without the tweeting and cawing and cavorting of feathered friends .
  I , out of self defense ......, feed the local squirrels as well .....and we have a resident opposum that indulges on the back deck .
  His choice of menu ranges between the left over fish food .....for the koi ......he found or the dry cat food left for any cats that may be out in the cold .
  As life is buried in cold and white .....don't miss the beauty of the tracks of the critters in the snow .......
  Footprints .......in the memories of the gardens that were .......holding the space for now .......and making tracks toward the gardens of your winter dreams ....waiting to manifest ..under the snow ! ...
