Autumn: a time for contemplation



For me, fall is a time of contemplation though it usually begins early, mid-to-late August and continues to around mid-November. This is a time to draw in as the days shorten; in days of old, the harvest was made in preparation for winter, thus is our own harvest within.

The year is coming to a close and all that we have thought, sought, acted on, received, given and produced is accumulated upon the soul and so with it we should review, give thanks, keep what is good and cast away that which was not as we go into the dark of the seasons to ready ourselves for a new year.

Google Dictonary defines contemplation as such:
con·tem·pla·tion, kän(t)əmˈplāSH(ə), noun
the action of looking thoughtfully at something for a long time.

deep reflective thought.

the state of being thought about or planned.

Contemplation is a natural process of the soul to which we should devote ample time in consideration of our thoughts, actions and deeds, our desires and commitments and to where we are placing our focus and time. With regular contemplation time even daily, we are able to more clearly see the path of our Divine purpose. As contemplation time is important daily, even more so is it important at the close of the year. Autumn brings the falling of leaves, the birds flying south, and the ever-changing attributes of nature with which we are one. We should ask our self if we have indeed been acting as we should, if we have given all that we are able, if we have done the work we are here to do as well as to contemplate our oneness with nature and All that Is though the Spirit of the Creator.

Take the time this autumn to reflect on all that is good and wise, heartfelt and loving in your life. Refresh and revive through the art of contemplation. Give thanks and be of gratitude for all that you have and all that you are.


 Get your journey on! Your soul-journey.

Enlightenment and Awakening Easier Than We Think

After decades of seeking enlightenment and awakening, I now understand that these things; these ideas, these concepts, have been so over complicated and made to seem as if they are a state unattainable to most. It is made to seem that that they are only to be achieved by the great masters. Though nothing is black and white, on the one hand, there may be degrees; but on the other hand can you be only partially awake? Partially enlightened? Either you are or you are not. As long as I was seeking to be, I was not, for seeking kept me so busy that I could not settle within myself long enough to wake up. And both terms are as simple as that: waking up, allowing the light of God to illuminate our spiritual sight. There are no fireworks, it is not some un-achievable level (like some religions and philosophies would have us believe). It is a simple matter of waking up. All that is required is to allow God to move into your “house” and let the light shine. This begins with asking Him

Words Across Time

Words linger. Whether it is audible, something spoken to us or something we read, words linger in our minds and stick like glue. Words are one of the few things that set us apart from all the other animals and living things, we can speak. Is it any wonder that the memory of a mother’s soft coo can so strongly calm and send us to the kitchen for a cup of coco or that the memory of a scolding can set us trembling? Words are positive, negative or neutral; neutral words have little effect but words of a positive or negative nature can lift up and inspire or tear down and destroy. In a sense, they are our strongest power and thus the power of words move with us across time. St. Catherine Christine de Pisan Whether I am reading the Bible or an ancient manuscript crafted out a thousand or more years ago by isolated monks on some remote island or a contemporary twentieth century author who has now passed, it never ceases to amaze me that I get to hear their thoughts acr
