“The more you connect to Love, the more the Flower of Life grows.”
~~~~~~~~~
Quote by me from vision seen while sungazing yesterday.
~~~~~~~~
A fews days back, I had an encounter of the human kind that left a mark on my heart and a knot in my stomach. “Mother, my heart cried, I call for your healing touch!” Driving to the Sacred Meeting Place arranged between Mother and I, I lamented how I added to the hurt. “Forgive me. Forgive me! My frustration got away from me and I lost control.” An immediate response came in swift and gentle, “You are forgiven, now forgive yourself.” My heavy heart swooned with relief for once again I was not let down. Tears smarted my eyes and I had to take care not to burst into tears for I was still behind the wheel.
At the start of my Communion with Mother, you could best describe how I felt by this image,
worn down and so old, yet still life somehow persisted on being anchored deeply within me. Behind me could be seen the brokenness the encounter created, and beckoning behind that, New Life strong and true. Once the brokenness both in spirit and heart are embraced and forgiveness given, that is when I can freely open the now fixed broken fence flying back to Love, lush and teeming with Gifts.
These healing bouts are far from easy. The razor sharp energetic arrows at times I do not even see coming and before I know what has happened I am pierced through and through. I’ve learned through repetition that I can either stay in that place of pain or move on. I always choose to move on. Always. And this time after letting the pain go, I held Gratitude high in my heart for I knew my own personal triggering signaled to me that something from my past still was festering. It isn’t any more! I dealt with it!
By the end of my Sacred Journey my heart running over with Love and Peace, I became like new in a sunburst of Light.
The sun that day was so bright and clear and pure that just about every frame I shot, came out perfect. I barely did any adjustments in my editing room, which is a rarity. The colors were glowing in that light, crisp, true to “nature”, and my camera’s lens did the rest. Perfection both within and after the Storm of E-motion passed were witnessed by a saucer-eyed photographer with a camera that did not disappoint.
Now let me show you the pictures in between how I first felt when I arrived at this park and how that sunburst mirrored the sparkle and Love once again within me. With some of the pictures, I will be commenting on how I felt or what I did. Please do enjoy!
When a woman my age is outdoors in the cold for hours and the bladder begins to speak, that same said bladder must be attended to. No question. It must! When I arrived at this bridge, my bladder suddenly squawked and I’m like, “Really? Right now? Where exactly do I find a bush here?” I did find a tree behind this fence and did my thang. I relieved the bladder squawk (oh that blessed relief!) and returned to the path in that Wonderland of Blue.
Mother showed me the shape of a heart. You have to soften your eyes and use your imagination, then you will see what I do. I whispered, “I love you, too, Mother.”
Oh that clear deep blue sky!
This guy really made me work for this shot.
Searching everywhere to get a clear shot, I finally found a tiny clearing in the branches and did my best to shoot through it.
Wowing out loud with this one. Those hills may not look massive to you, but they are!

Thanks for posting. I liked the bridge image and the way the road curves around to lead to it.
I’ll have to remember the phrase “bladder squawk.” Happens to me all the time lol

You are welcome, Joe. Walking that path you liked had a surreal feel to it for before me was this vast blue sky, to the left of me wide open fields, and then that bridge with a few small trees behind it. As for that bladder squawk …. the terminology fits! Hope you are having a great day today!

I think all of these photographs are really beautiful but for me the best two are the one with the deer, and the one immediately before it, where the different fences lead the eyes to explore the entire picture.

I cherish each and every wow I get, Sue. THANK YOU! That deer gave me quite the challenge for he would not allow me a complete clear composition. I finally just flew and allowed my automatic “knowing” to hit that shutter. That blue sky was mesmerizing and I know beyond doubt it signals the Golden Era that is being birthed right now. I am so glad you enjoyed this. So much love to you!! xo

Hi dear Amy, when I saw that first photo, before even reading your words, my thoughts were of a human stooping, seeking pardon. Forgiveness does indeed begin within ourselves my dear friend. Your words are so poignant and I felt them.
I smiled throughout much of the rest of your commentary and your photos, as always, wow me. Thank you for sharing your walk, your exquisite views and your heart. Much love and gratitude sent your way dear Amy. And big hugs! 💗

A beautiful day Amy, had a bit of everything too. I felt for old man tree at the top, been there and seen so much over so many years…and still going. A bladder that can talk, a deer always keeping tree’s between it and your camera…and of course a heart to watch over you. And that was in just one mornings wander with your lens. Mother knows where you are 🤣❤️🎅🏽🎄🎁⛄️

Yes, Mark, a beautiful miraculous day! So many can relate to that old tree especially due to what we all have been through these past few years. And yes I can pack quite a bit in two hours, now can’t I? When Mother promises She delivers, she always does and I right along so do I. Of course my bladder had to squawk with barely a hiding place in sight. What can I say?
Mother certainly knows where I am all the time. Amazing journey I am on lately!!! Sending you so much love, dear friend!! xoxox

Wonderful selection of cooler-season shots, Amy. Every one is a winner. The sky really turned on the blue for you and the sun certainly sparkled. You let yourself be called and let your heart guide you, and trust in Love. And look where that leads you – to such a wonderful, glorious time outdoors where your art really shines. Love the shot of the curved bridge, you made both light and shadow stand out very well. And I guess that’s a metaphor for the journey we are on, that there will be shadows but ultimately light will guide us. You make the barren branches look like they have a place there, and they do. It also looked so quiet out there and I hope you felt many deep messages from Mother.
Hope you are doing well. Sending you much love 😊💕

Thank you, Mabel! I always trust my heart and I know deep within that Mother will not ever disappoint me. Ever! High compliment on the bridge image …. thank you! That really caught my eye in more ways than one. Oh for sure that bridge picture definitely can be a metaphor for the journey we are on. Light does guide us, at least those of us who are open to the light. I felt the quiet …. just the beating of my heart and my breath were noticed. And sometimes not even them.
I am doing very well, bless you!!! Feeling just so weary however this week so have been pacing myself here. I “feel” energy and here in the states it has been intense. Sending you so much love as well, dear friend. Keep shining your light!! xoxo
