Musings: Lapis

January 13, 2016

From my Nature Writing journal…

The lapis blue water of the Merrimack River flowed towards the ocean in gentle ripples. I could hear the soft lapping sound of the water on the river’s beach. The tide was still heading out towards the mouth of the river, but the current had slowed to a gentle tug. The sun reflected golden ridges on the ripples of the lapis water.

Was the water ever still, I wondered to myself? I knew the answer… Never. Even when it looks to be not moving, simply static and still, there is an undercurrent flowing with the tides. By nature water moves, always.

Daily Affirmations: Never Allow Yourself the Luxury of a Negative Thought

There is a place in each of us that comes to surface every now and then. That place is filled with doubt and sometimes fear. It holds our deepest self doubt captive in the back of minds and looms up in our psyche as we strive to move forward. Each time the door to this fear ridden part of our self opens, we must close it quickly and not allow it to seep into our thoughts.

Today, I will practice the “Never Allow Yourself the Luxury of a Negative Thought” principle. Why would I choose to wallow in the Negatives of Doubt and Fear, when I can wallow in the luxury of Happiness and Joy. Today, each time a Negative thought enters into my mind. I will replace it with a positive, self-affirming, loving thought. And so it is… I move through my day with intent, grace and gratitude, today and every day.

Daily Affirmations: Love

January 12, 2016

It is a hard to be single sometimes in a world filled with couples. One finds themselves as odd man or woman out, in my case, at a party where everyone is married. But it is okay to be single. In fact, I have found that to lack a partner in life, is not to lack love. Indeed, I am blessed with the knowledge each day, that my life is filled with love, for love takes many forms and comes from many different sources for many different reasons. Yes, I have great love in my life. And so it is that today and everyday, I bless the love and the loved ones in my life. Love is always blossoming around me…

Daily Affirmations: Heed the Directions

January 11, 2016

Today, I re-mind myself that I am moving on the path that the Universe has mapped out for me. I need to simply follow the signs and heed to the directions that come my way. Life has graced me with my own individual path, as it has graced each of us. I am grateful for the opportunities that come my way, today and every day. And so it is…

Musings: The Golden Hour

January 8, 2016

From my nature writing journal, Fall 2015…

I was sitting on the front porch reading and watching the half dozen crows that were making a raucous in the trees across the road. The crows cawed loudly. The squirrels scurried about. A blue jay screeched its name, “Jay, Jay,” in the distance. Fall was quietly descending a little every day. I could see a tinge of golden brown in the grasses on the other shore across the river. Gazing with a squint to better my focus my eyes, I realized there was a great blue heron slowly moving in the river grass along the shore, looking for its evening meal.

All of a sudden there was a riotous and rowdy clambering in the trees coming from the crows and then a crash followed by a great fluttering of black wings. It was late afternoon. “Surely, those crows were up to no good,” I thought to myself. (more…)

Daily Affirmations: Forgiveness

Today, I seek to make forgiveness part of the path I walk this day. For I acknowledge that the place in me that holds on to grievances, only holds me down. In order to live my life fully, I must let go of all perceptions of wrongs, done to me by others, or by me to myself or others. As I forgive others, I recognize that I also forgive myself. I also acknowledge that the past does not exist, there is only now, this moment in which I am living. I cannot hold on to past grievances, I must release them to the winds. Today, I seek to make forgiveness part of the path I walk this day. And so it is… – Pamela J. Leavey
