Spring Green

"If there's a bustle in your hedgerow Don't be alarmed now It's just a spring clean for the May queen Yes, there are two paths you can go by But in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on And it makes me wonder" Lyrically inspired by the one and only, very insightful, Led Zeppelin. Lyrics from the song "Stairway to Heaven" written by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. Is your hedgerow overgrown? In other words is your brain cluttered with a ton of useless crap? There is no better time than now to spring clean that mess. There are only two paths and those two paths could not be more evident than right now. Wake up, follow your instincts or don't? If you have questions, get the answers, whatever it takes. No fear! Nothing compares to the bright, clean vibrant green of Spring! The equinox, time for unity, balance, and equilibrium. It is due time to right the scales. Nepco Lake Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin.

The Path

The path at times can be arduous and stressful. In fact sometimes the more on the path you are the harder it can be. Take joy and find peace in the fact you are actually on the path.

Aries Rising

Kelly and I went out early to catch the Vernal Equinox aka the first sunrise of Spring. YaY Spring!! It was an absolute beautiful morning! I might be one of the first people on the internet that remembered it is Spring. I have been looking forward to this day for quite some time. It marks the beginning of significant change coming. The Sun heals and the sun gives hope. The ancient people and many people only a couple hundred years ago gave much homage and respect to the Sun. That knowledge has been hidden. We say stuff like they had simple minds therefore they worshiped the Sun. Those simple minds were capable of building vast empires with buildings and structures we don't have a clue how they were built. There are hundreds of names for the Sun and hundreds of entities that represent the Sun. There are thousands of stories about the Sun including All religious scripture. Today we look at the Sun as if it is just an irritating burning ball in the sky. It's either too hot or too bright. I think we have forgotten some very important stuff in this technological modern age we are living in. Maybe this is a great time to do some reflection. Get to know yourself, meditate, calm the mind and just observe your thoughts. Maybe come out of this ugly mess fresh and renewed and ready for the new age that has just dawned upon us.

What On Earth?

We often see images of places that look rugged, barren or out of this world and then say "Oooh that looks like Mars or that looks like the Moon." Like we know something LOL. We do in fact know what our beautiful Mother Earth looks like and all of her mystery and endless variations. We are still barely barely barely scratching the surface as to understanding here. Did I say barely? Let alone to think we know anything at all about an entity external to our planet. We have a long way to go as far as expanding our paradigms or maybe getting rid of them all together. The same goes for our own selves. Not our physical bodies, our souls. Inside that body, the part with all those emotions and thoughts. If we do not know ourselves we cannot truly know anything external to ourselves. When we understand our own self then we can truly appreciate and Love others. So many say "I want to go to outer space or Mars or the Moon or whatever". Yet they never leave their little town or their state. Get out and explore the Earth and while you are out in nature loving yourself, learn to LOVE the Earth again.

Hidden

We live in darkness. "What?" you say. It's true, most of our lives are spent in darkness. When you break it down we really do not tolerate light well. When you step outside and look into the sun it is quite painful. You can look at it very briefly and realize quickly that you can't look at it very long without suffering. Yet as "bright" as it is the sun is muted, filtered and is only partial light. Now imagine everything as bright as the sun at all times. In your house, car, work, etc. We would not see a thing with the naked eye. It might as well be pitch black. In fact I think living in pitch black would be easier to deal with. That is with muted light, not pure light. Without darkness we cannot see or perceive much of anything. We see with just an incredibly minute portion of light. Then if we apply that very very very small portion of visible light to the electrical and magnetic spectrum/scale. You will find that the light we utilize with our eyes is equivalent to just one water molecule in all of the oceans. It is all just a frequency on an enormous scale of frequencies that make up ALL. Now with that understanding. How well do you trust your eyes when they are so incredibly limited? What do we not see that is all around us? More is Hidden than what is seen. We are completely surrounded by the unknown at ALL times. Watch your step😎 A hidden peaceful location high above in the fog on Laguna Mountain - San Diego, CA

Into The Ether

The Grand Prismatic Spring in late fall is not as colorful as it is in the warmer months. However it is just as impressive. The cooler weather allows for more dramatic dissipation of the steam.

Stand Out

Don't be afraid to stand out. Don't be worried about showing your true colors. Don't be ashamed of being yourself. A gracious hint that autumn is coming. High above, on the Blueridge Parkway in North Carolina.
