Actively Patient

             The first time I heard the phrase (said in a condescendingly obnoxious voice) “it is what it is” I was not a fan.  But later, and since then, I have begun to understand the meaning and depth behind it.  (Once I removed the snobbishly flippant attitude, and changed it to “this is what it is.”)

             Since we are, clearly, about to revisit the idea of Acceptance, this message could be considered thematic.  But I don’t believe that’s the case.  It feels like a stand-alone, to me.

At Exactly The Correct Time

             We know that the truth of the matter is, we can’t learn our lessons out of order.  Just as we aren’t able to gather our rewards until AFTER we learn our lessons.

             Since time is not linear, it isn’t important when we get any of this done.  We have forever!  On the other hand, aren’t we all sometimes just achingly impatient?  Of course.  And that’s part an even larger challenge.

             When we’re feeling rushed, or conversely, like something is simply taking for fucking ever, we have the same solution: letting go of time.

             Once we release that struggle, the rest falls in to place.  Exactly when it needs to.

             And then, we get presents.  Like our daily draw.  All we need to do is say a gracious Thank You.

“Gifts  ~  6  ~  Joy Guides

Receiving, Surprises, Kindness, Blessings

The Universe is constantly showering you with gifts.  The problem arises when so many of these Divine offerings go unnoticed and are therefore unaccepted.

Your Joy Guides are on hand, though, acting as messengers to help correct this problem.  They ask you to start counting your blessings, day after day, taking care not to miss any or take any for granted.

Your Joy Guides delight in showering you with gifts, and encouraging you to expand your heart’s capacity to receive all that they have to offer.  

Start each morning by asking them to surprise you with something wonderful during the day; then, just before going to bed, list all the wonderful things they’ve bestowed upon you.

See how the list grows longer and longer each day.  Their only request is that you acknowledge these offerings and thank the Divine Mother and Father God for their endless generosity.

The Joy Guides’ message:

open your heart, and expect good things to come.”

FLP Report:

is longer than I realized, since I haven’t shared it in a while.  Beginning with two Virginias and two Minnesotas and two Wisconsins, then a single Florida, one standard Montana, a Tennessee, Wyoming, New York, Pennsylvania, and (the always questionable) Hawaii.

Timely Imaginings

             I can’t even begin to count the number of individual instances that we’ve been told how everything happens when it’s supposed to happen.  And yet, here it is again.

             Is it because some of us aren’t getting the message?  Do we simply need a jab every now and then so we don’t forget?   Or, perhaps we just aren’t believing that this is really true.  (Probably because patience is so challenging.)

             The images I was shown earlier weren’t super pleasant.  They were, however, clear and to the point.  So are the words:

remember, Divine timing.

              Because whether we want to buy into this or not, it’s a fact.  Something that simply is.  Just as it is absolute how very much our lives are dependent and constructed on/around cycles, seasons, and turns of the planet.

             Leaving our regular rotation today, I was directed to that stack which sits at the top of my card altar.  Reading what she has to say validates what we’re already being told.

“Goddess of the Earth  ~

An idea, connected to imagination, creativity, and nature is coming your way.

The energy of Gaia, the spiritual Goddess of Earth, is strong within you at present.   She reflects the fertile ground of your imagination and the infinite power of creativity that you possess.

This is a good time to use your imagination and express yourself creatively.   Keep an open heart and mind.  You will receive an idea over the coming days or weeks that will lead you to an abundant and fulfilling way of life.  This idea is somehow connected to imagination, creativity, and nature.

Over the coming days it would be beneficial to relax, spend some time in nature and absorb her healing and fertile energies.  Gaia will help to ground you and keep you balanced.

In the near future she will also inspire you to devise ingenious ways to market your idea.”

             The very  Urth  herself is telling us, reminding us that, as much as we create our own blueprints, chart our own maps, live in a guaranteed state of Free Will, we are still subject to the measure of time.  We cannot rush what must be nurtured and cared for.

             Also, as you can see, this one required a cover-up, which I ingeniously crafted.  This look is way better than the original,  but with that heart at the tree’s top still visible.

             (Ya know, now that I think about it, I may just get some permanent markers and do a bit of that suggested creative work on a few of these.)
