The Summer Solstice is nigh upon us and we join with our ancestors in what has been such a high time of rejoicing and celebration for those of us living north of the equator. We join with the elementals – faeries, gnomes, elves, and undines – as we connect to some primal rhythm of movement, movement that we know and feel and experience each year. Yet inherent in the celebration is the knowing that all things change, the day will reach its pinnacle of daylight immediately after which the days will begin to shorten again, all things pass, to the Earth all returns, and from the essential life force we are born again lifetime after lifetime. Something magical is happening all the time. Miracles are abundantly rampaging the planet all the time, every time an intention is aligned with its vibrational match (some call it Divine Will)…poof! it occurs. This is why it is so critically important to know where your focus of attention is.

The cycles of nature show us so clearly that there is a proper and necessary time for everything. The cycle of life could not be clearer and yet we fear it with a passion, with a death grip as if for us, for you, it will be different, but it won’t. You too will go through cycles of death and rebirth in your own life. Times when you will accumulate and times you will purge. Times you will come together and other times you will move apart and separate. The real challenge of life is being with whatever is, being in the present with whatever is, not allowing yourself to be distracted by woulda, coulda, shoulda beens from the past or could, would, will, want, or need for the future. The greatest challenge is to be in the moment of whatever is happening because it is from this central point of present awareness that you birth yourself anew over and over again.

If you really knew, really, really really, that it is your proper alignment with the LOVE energy of the universe, the energy that keeps it all flowing, thriving, living, and breathing, dying, and being reborn again, if you really knew this – would you be in alignment more (always) and or would you continue to struggle to swim upstream? Are you a salmon at heart? Or are you an otter? Is it struggle and resistance or play and flow? or something and everything in between?
