For your consideration…..
This has been quite a morning. Once I am in meditation, I do not like to have to stop and restart. It is probably the same with most of us. But today not long after I went into it, I was visited by my friend’s son Jonathan. It seems like it has been a long time since he popped in and I was glad to see him. We chatted until he was clearly done. But he would not leave until I came out of meditation and wrote it all down. While I was not happy at the time, I have to laugh now. Because clearly he is aware of my issues with memory.
OK, I thought I am back on my way. And sure enough our message comes in very quickly. Ah ha I’m on my way. So I google pictures of the message and I am told, “No, find the little white church on the hill in Poland to use as the picture.”
The story of the little white church on the hill in Poland is important to me. I knew it at the time when I saw it. But I was driving in an unfamiliar city in the country. At the time I was sure I would remember it so I did not write it down. And now I have no idea on how to find it. This image and the day I saw it has come back to me many many times over the last 19 years. But I don’t know why. So you can imagine how I felt this morning. None the less, I searched and the above picture looks very much like it could be it.
The message today is that all of us are, or at least should, looking for that steady “hum” in our life. It is personal and unique to each of us. It is like a our very own honing signal to all in the Universe….our personal IP address in the Universe.
How do we get it? It happens when our body, mind and spirit are in complete sync. It happens when all of our actions, words, thoughts and feelings are succinctly the same. We are in tune.
So why did it have to be the picture of the little white church on the hill in Poland? It is an example. It represents a missing piece in my own life that is key to my life purpose. I must figure it out if I want my perfect life “hum.” Clearly I have work to do as do we all.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..
-Meditate/pray…..we need to be up close and personal and working from our authentic self.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths….or meditate outdoors…..or rest outdoors…..or go for a walk outdoors etc.
-Drink lots of water.
-You are blessed….act like it.
What made me smile yesterday……
-Once again after our power outage the other night, my computer and printer were not talking. I played with it for a couple of days. Finally, I was successful.
-I am almost done with Tom and Jessica’s wedding ceremony.
-Bruce surprised me and said, “Hey, let’s go to the cottage.” Oh yeah, let me throw on my clothes and we are out the door.
-Stillwater ahhhhhh.
-I read a book that turned out to have a lot of historical information on Whidbey Island, WA where my Alex lives. It was a fictional story of a Navy aviation family. And my Alex is Navy air. It was a fun surprise when I started to read that book.
-Shannon and Alex’s texts while Shannon was at the Jimmy Buffet concert that Alex and I wished we were at.
-A visit from our Stillwater neighbors. Love it.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
