Can You Hear

The Birds

SINGING?

The winter weather even here in Nashville, Tennessee is the primary topic of conversation wherever I go.  I totally get it that people are over the harsh conditions that invite us to hibernate when we long to go out and play; and drain us of our energy so even getting through the day takes a pot of coffee and lots of cheerleading in our heads.  I am a self-proclaimed wimp now living here in the South, experiencing my first mild winter and still having the nerve to call it cold.  But I am always mindful that where I am is absolutely perfect and whatever comes is perfect even when I want it to be otherwise; life unfolds in a rhythm that we humans cannot control and it pisses us off that nature doesn’t bow to our will.  This makes me laugh out loud as I write because it is ridiculous – truly absurd that we fight against life, but it is human nature to want what we want when we want it.  In order to hear the birds ever-singing the song of hope, love, grace, joy throughout all the seasons, we must live open moment by moment,  flowing with what comes understanding there are gifts we cannot yet see, there is beauty hatching even in the frozen tundra that grips and bites and stings.

The invitation this day is to ask your higher Self to still the chatter clouding your mind, blocking the blessings that come if we dare to claim them; let go of all the thoughts, expectations, attitudes, beliefs that keep you caged when your Spirit ever-free just wants to soar even while wrapped in a blanket laying on the sofa.  To live surrendered in the flow of allowing, unconditionally present to life is divine as we experience heaven while here on earth.  We get to hear the birds ever-singing, Truth echoing within us and within this world; we taste the sweetness of this wonderful life so full of promise.  Appreciating the moments of life through every season, we are enlivened by the truest song in our sacred hearts that knows the miracle of every breath, the love we are and that we are here briefly to enjoy the ride.  Can you hear the birds singing within you?
