When I was eleven, a girl of my age was tragically murdered while walking in the woods. I was so traumatized that I no longer indulged in my favorite pastime of exploring without great fear. Years later, I decided it was time to broaden the size of my back porch. I drove to parks and other places of interests. Following my instincts and inner wisdom, not only did I feel safe, I found that each aspect of nature had a wonderful story to share.

We welcome you to this area. Knowing you were coming, we have prepared what we wish you and all those who read these words to know. Walking by the still waters of a peaceful stream is truly a blessed event for ears, eyes, skin, heart, and soul. There is beauty and Christ Consciousness in everything and everyone you see and experience, even in the burnt-out-hull of a tree, honed by nature’s storms and time. The Christ Consciousness is everywhere you look, if only you invest the time to strive to perceive this. It is certainly in your best interest to do so. Notice in this root formation, there are two windows through which you can view ever new water flowing past. Each droplet, though you cannot begin to gather and count them, is totally unique, totally new, fresh, and renewed. You are truly blessed to watch this stream of renewed, ever fresh water flow past. Don’t fight the current. Stay in the flow of the Universal one Mind, flowing in the direction that is for your highest good, then all will go according to plan. Go in peace, Sister. Have a blessed day.

As you walk, via land, upstream, you view the water as yet untouched by what the future will bring. Once again, you view this water through a number of window overlooks. As we flow over and around rocks and stones and fellow droplets of water, we adapt and change. Each moment, each encounter alters our personality ever so slightly. No two droplets are exactly alike. Even so, on one droplet stays ever the same. With every passing millisecond, as we move in the flow of the current, we are different, altered, changed, more than we were before. So goes it also with mankind – yes, and womankind too. Perhaps more so for womankind as they are more open to change and growth and expansion. Flow with, not against, the current and life will be easy – even smooth. Yet there is the potential for ever greater growth, greater expansion when one chooses to buck the current and embrace adversity. In any case, it is always your choice. It is also always your choice how one will react, interact and act upon each moment, seemingly positive or negative, smooth or rough, bucking upstream’s current or flowing downstream as it comes. Walk in peace, goodwill, and harmony.
