Listen to your heart and Open your eyes...

There is an old song by the Sandpipers called “Come Saturday Morning”.
It has these words:
“Come Saturday morning, I'm goin' away with my friend We'll Saturday-spend till the end of the day, just I and my friend We'll travel for miles in our Saturday smiles and then we'll move on But we will remember long after Saturday's gone.”
I have a friend like that.  And our Saturdays (and Sundays) are turning out to be a lesson for me in trust, intuition, synchronicity, and stepping out of the box.   My friend was trying to decide betweens several places for us to go on Saturday and finally decided on one after expressing how much he would like to go to one of the other places.   We went with our cameras looking to find birds to identify and photograph.  We found few birds but we had a wonderful, safe encounter (from a safe distance) with a momma black bear and two cubs.  What a wonderful sight, and we took some nice images with our long lenses.   I’m glad he went with his intuition and we went there.    Then Sunday, the same thing.  Where to go?  He decided on a place and we went.  I was objecting to one trail because a family with rather noisy children were going that way.  So we went out on a low tide sandbar and there had wonderful encounters, as in flying right over us, with several Ospreys, the beautiful bird of prey known as the fish eagle or sea eagle.  We got more pictures and felt so good out in nature with these beautiful birds who dive in the water to get fish for food.  He then suggested that we walk along the sandbar close to the shore and I was reluctant because it didn’t look like an easy walk.  We went.   I suddenly called to him to stop and look.  I had seen under some over hanging brush against the shore a beautiful deer, a doe, lying there in the shade just keeping cool in the warmth of the day.  She did not try to run away and we took some great pictures.   We walked on not wanting to disturb her further.   Two perfect days, fun and full.   He followed his intuition about where to go.  He stepped out his comfort zone just a little to watch the bears.  We followed his intuition to go out on the sandbar to see what we could see.  I stepped out of my comfort zone and walked with him along the shoreline.    Keep following your intuition, my friend.  I will keep pushing back the walls of my comfort zone. 
Be aware of the decisions you make and what happens when you make them.  Be aware of your surroundings.  You can learn to live a fuller, happier life.  And who knows how many deer and bears you have been missing. 
“Come Saturday morning, I’m going away with my friend.” 

Believe It...

And I repeat: 
Know yourself
Look within to find God
The evil that humans do is just that.... human evil
There is no devil but the one we create, which is not real
There is no hell but the one we create for ourselves
Things really do work out when we trust and allow
The trusting and allowing is the often the hard part
There is unlimited guidance within... just believe it and trust in it
There is so much beauty in this world, believing it can bring more such beauty
and help others to see it
You are a beautiful, magnificent being....an angel in earth guise if you will
Believe it

Trust in the connection.....

In the new energy when one takes on the spirituality that is not based on religion an individual will need to be able to trust in the their connection to God, the higher self, the Holy Spirit, the part of God that is within us.   And at least to those of us that have lived in this so called modern world this may be the most difficult part of it.  It is for me.   One can only set their intention....  Speak to God about it and try to go with the flow.   The story is told in the Old Testament how the Israelites were made to wonder in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights with no source of food except what was provided for them daily by God.  They had to depend on that for their food.  Could I go from day to day not knowing where I was going and how I was going to eat?  I am not sure.   and when I think about it, is that the way some street people live?  Is this what faith really is?  Am I learning to trust in my connection to God?  I hope so...
