I find my sanctuary in these quiet
times early in the morning, the sun just rising over the horizon. As I lay on
my hammock thoughts of the day come to me and today’s deals with
surprises.
I am not often surprised these days
as I get older. Actually I cannot recall a time many years where I have been
surprised, yet in the past couple of months I have been surprised more times
that I can count.
Surprises come in many packages.
Sometimes it is a kind unexpected act, a promotion, gift or gesture. Or perhaps
you have surprised yourself when reflect on where you are now compared to where
you have been. There are also those surprises that allow one to stretch our
wings, grow and soar, like when a mother bird pushes her baby from the
nest. I know that this example may represent a less than pleasant visual
for some of you, but in the end it all works out well for the baby bird; most of the time anyway.
Have you ever had a parent do
something when you were younger without your knowledge and lead you to it with
gentle or not so gentle steps?
Living in Sedona, I have been truly
blessed by the multitude of available current and ancient wisdom through synchronicitis
meetings with new friends at the local coffee houses smattered around town. They provide incredible insight allowing one
to look at life differently. I have embraced
the 180 degree changes presented to me. As I look back to the person I was
before coming to Sedona I am amazed at the transformation.
So I say to you today, although
change is sometimes like being through out of the nest, embrace it and you will
begin to soar!
Have a day filled with Love,
