The Medicine Direction of the West has arrived bringing the moving inward time. Harvest also comes and with it some of the gifts we will carry inward for the all important 'time of introspection'.
This season of the Medicine Wheel ... Carefully inspect, count and look to recognize and gain as much information, inspiration and energy as you are able from These seeds, which carry much import and Only we can decipher and correctly interpret our personal harvest.
This is the time to gift the seeds, fruits and herbs with gratitude and unconditional love. It begins with mindfulness and from there each of us may design our own personal harvest ceremonies which may also include song, prayers, dance and feasting.
Recall this past spring and tell the story to life ... and the coming winter ... who will accept and carry these seeds in her belly to give birth to next planting season. These seeds will encode your stories within their histories and say how it was/is with us. Part of their healthy lives are contingent upon the quality of our participation as co-creators.
As we face the west let us remember and accept that the east-spring-planting season is at our back. When we are not sure how to proceed or what to say we have but to ask and to be willing for the power of the direction to provide inspiration for fertile and gracious thoughts and words.
Sometimes we wonder about who all of the other 'theys' are. The directions can be asked for information, also, at your daily sunrise ceremony you may ask 'grandfather, what would you have me know this day'? Accept the first thought that comes to you. In this way we take the mindful steps of building spiritual muscle and capital. Reflect on that first thought throughout the day ... test it out ... it's up to us to build these roads and pathways ... asking, is it true or not? What more is there to know or carry forward in my life? Not knowing is an outcome of our perceived separation from the Creator and is so much more painful than knowing, for in knowing things can begin to move Into dynamic change and in not knowing ... too many things are managed where they remain hidden, or aggressively in mind, and difficult to dislodge, evolve or release.
The directions, Sun, Moon, plants, waters, winds, fires, stones ... All knowledge is held in the Natural World. The Free University of Natural Wisdom & Intelligence.
Make application and attend daily. Do your homework. Ask questions, pay the dues and tuitions of awareness and gratitude. Tell everyone who your teachers are and what is your Alma mater. Why love her, him and them less? Why forget and place all others first?
Go TEAM CREATION!
