Breathe deeply in early Fall's breezes to feel the aliveness of swirling leaves. The wild and bright warbler moves quickly, his movements as fleeting as the light playing on the forest floor.
In the presence of such flourishing aliveness & last blooming flowers, it is easier to feel our own bodies connection to this eternal Source. The strength & power of connection raises your molecular vibrations and sets your blood in tune with Divine Harmony. Ancient ones knew this and lived the reality of it in daily life.
How can we bring this awareness & life force into our regular hi-speed lives? I know of no other way than going to the Source.
Your own backyard, (if it isn't paved) can be a real fine place to acknowledge the presence of the Divine. Breathe deeply and connect your senses to all that lives and grows on Earth. Scent activates neural pathways and DNA strands in the very core of our bodies. It is this which responds to what God only can make. It is our life force from which we are made. The water, clay and sunshine grow us physically, and our insides are sustained & vitalized by our connection to our Source.
The real way home is found in the stillness, the silence where your soul connects to the unseen world. So easy to lose in the flashing lights and goods of the material world. Nature is always calling you too. And the life force of all creation powers your blood, moves you in time with the love that flows through you. it is your choice to connect with the Divinity within and that which sustains you. There's no ap for it.....
It's a do-it-yourself project!

Cycles of time bring forth life on this planet. Age to age, we continually reap the results of the planted seeds. Both in the physical world from the soil, and in the etheric levels of our own beings, life comes forward from what is planted & tended. The young plants are eager for life and reach towards the sun to fulfill the patterns of their beings with the fruits of creation.
We have learned to be the gardeners who raise plants from the soil into the full, final product they produce. This is all to nurture our own bodies within the varied forms of sunlight, water, and minerals, of which plants make their bodies.
As masterful as we have become at growing plants for food and industry, many of us rarely tend our own inner gardens with the same clear vision. In our bodies made from Earth, we continually harvest the results of the pattern dance of thought, word and deed. With so many levels to our beings, we can be acting or reacting from a cross-purpose and not even realize it. Our thoughts and belief systems must be aligned with our actions to create our true heart desires. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." That's how the Good Book says it.
It is mostly easy to change your mind~
It takes much skill to align your thoughts, beliefs, words, and deeds, on the many levels of our mental states to manifest the true desires of the heart and soul.
Creating a life of Love & Passion is the Truest Beauty and the Highest Calling.
May your heart be true to your Highest Vision, today and every night, always and forever!

Many opportunities & journeys through life open the door to new territory. Whether we call those in or they call us to enter into - w/o regard for our personal choice. Each day always carries the potential for encountering the unknown, from passerby around us, to natural events, tech starts or failures and messages otherwise received. Nowhere do we feel it more than when we are outside our usual routes, habits, & safety zones. It why some people do not like to travel. I never knew the young man who loaned me his winter coat for a long time. Years later, living in another state, at another school, that coat sheltered me through stormy weather. It was an emblem of good that arrived and stayed. Choosing a change in your life does sometimes require an inner or outer storm~ ~maybe both! What do you choose to hold onto, in your psychic terrain, during storms?
The changing colors of Nature at the end cycle this time of year, send us many messages, while the world is still holding onto floating patches of gold and golden orange. No matter what we think or how we think we know it, nothing, has come to stay. Slowly and imperceptibly, or quickly in a hot flash, this will end & you will know that it has because you will be standing in familiar territory.
You have seen this before.
Maybe the accessories to the scenery have altered, maybe your heart has as well. The familiar territory may have new elements reconfigured by your own perceptions. Maybe the input was from other minds. So are we ever truly in familiar territory if we 'never cross the same river twice?"
Maybe it just looks that way...………..
The home where our hearts resides encircles us by our own walls that we have created. We live there only in the mists of Time with memories held & love given & received. This territory, like others we experience is made known to us by it's seasons. This territory has our marks on it, the physical space of the land and those we live there with who reside within our psychic terrain.
No matter where your home or lands, life is always calling you to join the Dance.
As you resolve, reconfigure, & engage, with the rest of us on this globe, you have the opportunity to expand your awareness of your True Being! Therein lies the mystery of discovering who you are in the dance, when your partners, the dance hall & even time itself are without boundaries.
We all share All there Is ~ TOGETHER ~ As ONE.

May this be the year of your Greatest Blessings and realized Dreams! Grace and Light are continually poured for us. It's necessary to sit at the table to receive the continual feast of life.
To do that we have to look for the Blessings, especially in the winters of our lives. Love & Light can appear anywhere, it is up to us to recognize when they are appearing.

As the feel of summer draws to a close, a signal is sent for the next season. Look carefully around the ridges & the mountain sides in late July and August and you will see. There's always that one red leaf which appears to tell you that Fall is being prepared, even tho you can not feel it in the air just yet... Mostly in life as we gather our fruits in one season, the times ahead for the next season are being organized into existence. Nature does it and so do we with date books and calendars.
We exist only in this moment of time, and so our challenge is to balance our knowledge of the Present within the knowledge of the Future we are always moving towards. The best way I know is to place my attention on the information my senses are collecting. Tree branches sway softly in the wind as the sunlight moves the shadows and places them in rare sparkles on leaves. Night creatures sing their sleepy-time song as the sun rises higher and I can feel the soft touch of the breeze on my skin. I move into the day as I continue my own Dance with Nature to bring into the world within me. Feeling our way through Life brings our attention & focus to the NOW where we actually live.
May your days be filled with the Beauty and Strength of Nature.
I now have an online store which sells prints, designs, and products. This photograph and more available on: redbubble.com Go to artfromthewilds or julisibley. More designs are being added!
As early in the summer as we are, the memories of Spring are still budding all around us.
I was called away into another Dream when I awakened at dawn to a mountain spring scented with wild roses, honeysuckle, mock orange, & tulip trees. Birdsongs bring forth more nectar as the sunlight streaming over the ridge casts rainbows all over the room from the crystals in the window. What Grace creates these Blessings for us!
Outside, it's a beauty of a day, as the backyard meadow speaks softly with wildflowers.
Fields are plowed on the valley floor and from this land we grow ourselves from the substance & energy of this place. Beauty makes us whole, as our work produces the energy needed to produce fields ripe with food. The stream of time creates this growth into a season of harvest. When the land does come into the fallow season again with more turns around the sun, the revitalization process begins anew.
May your joy in this cycle be complete with the full sweetness of revitalization.

Greetings from the mountains~
Winter's Light and winter's fires bring warmth to those seeking sacred inspiration. May the radiance of this season bring joyful tidings to all lands!
Recent rains fell like a benediction, which blessed the homes of all creatures. Replenishment occurred and brought life-giving essence. With grateful hearts & songs of praise we were restored from a lengthy drought. In this photograph, layers of leaves edge a full pond hidden away in a mountain forest. These living waters fulfill all who gather here seeking to renew life.
Blessings & Light for the New Year
