Is this really spring?

Spring is the season for reemergence; moving up and out; a very strong energy to begin again. Everything that was hidden begins to break ground and open. Nature is our model as a deeply buried seeds crack open and reach for the light. The many shades of green,yellow and pinks are everywhere and we want to throw off our heavy winter protection and put on our lighter and brighter selves to match the world around us.

Since the climate this winter was so mild, we may not have had enough time to go inward and

cultivate the energy needed to reemerge. The reemergence was not gradual as everything burst open at once and the pollen flew in great abundance. Are we being asked to move along our path more quickly? This accelerated energy can feel overwhelming for some of us as nature buffets us back and forth between spring to the heavy heat of summer from one day to the next. Since we can do nothing about mother nature's whims, honor your own personal energy and timing to reemerge. Namaste Ginger

All Hearts Are One

If you place two living heart cells from different people in a

Petrie dish, they will in time find and maintain a third and

common beat - Molly Vass

Wishing that everyday was Valentine's Day; the day of expressing

our Love for another I wanted to share (paraphrase) some thoughts on our connection to every sentient being from one of my most favorite writers- Mark Nepo from The Book of Awakening.

This biological fact holds the secret of all relationship. It is cellular proof that beneath any resistance we might pose and beyond all attempts that

fall short , there is in the very nature of life itself some essential joining force. This inborn ability to find and enliven a common beat is the miracle of love. This force is what makes compassion possible, even probable. If two cells can find the common pulse beneath everything, how much more can full hearts feel when we stop fighting how our hearts want to join. It is then that we find both the strength and peace that come from our hearts beating in unison with all that is alive.
