in appreciation...of soil!

Gettin down and dirty...How AWESOME is that?

I just came in from digging in my garden...since i was a wee little lass i have loved to get my hands into the warm dirt of spring...to feel it crumble, moist between my fingers, full of live things...full of dead things...smelling of leaf mold and deep dark places...soil is synonymous with dirt and dirty--and to me it so far from that--it is potential--like money--it is full of energy, and nurturing and life soon to come and life long gone...

Soil--when i put my hands in it, i connect with the primal mother GAIA, the goddess of the earth--who IS the earth, and we share her body--gaia delivers to us all the physical manifestations of our body--through the elements, organic chemicals, ethers--what thought concieves in the way of life, Gaia provides for us...ask and receive...

What is so wonderful also about soil--is its eternalness...it is a substance in itself, but not made by itself--it takes in the left overs of millions of plants and animals long gone--it takes in the dust of rocks that were once mighty mountains, the clay from deep in the moist banks of the sea, sea minerals, metal ores, ancient water from hidden aquifers...it takes it all, and layers the earth--and says...grow here...come and be warm here, come and sprout strong roots, and grow ot the light...come and make your beauty known, out of my deep dank lovely depths...come and open to the world...and enhance it...where ever there is soil and water...drop in a seed and it will grow...no matter what else is around...no matter what anyone says--on the sides of a highway--in abandoned back lots--in a prison yard...soil has its own agenda...its own destiny--it says...grow, live, feed...i am here...lowly to some, but one of the most powerful things on earth...

Why wouldnt you LOVE to get your hands into that soil--that mother of all life on earth--that mother of all nourishment here on earth, that final resting place of all that have died on earth--that keeper of the seeds and home of the worms...the energy of it--the promise--is so intoxicating!!!

Here's to soil--I love ya! You wicked ROCK!

The tree of life...

I thought that i should never see, a thing as lovely as a tree....

Someone asked recently about soul clusters...and was confused because Abraham-hicks states that we are all one and all part of the same source...and so, ofcourse does EVERY single major religion...its in the differentiation that we feel from individual physical perspective that we feel separate...but we do have "closer" relations within the overall scheme of things and these are the soul bits and pieces that we continue to interact with over multiple lives...

the way its been explained to me from source is this...

There is the tree of life (source) that is all that is--that takes in energy from the sun and creates nutrients for its physical being (creation, manifestation, law of attraction, expansion) and takes in water and minerals from its roots (creation of phyiscal substance from thought forms and energy)....and so, all that is is a living, breathing, expanding creating being...ALL ONE...

but this tree has roots--and it has a trunk--and it has branches, and it has twigs and then it has leaves, flowers, and fruit...

and WE as individual physical manifestations of source are the leaves--tiny individuated powerhouses of creative source, that are completely self sufficient in being able to take energy and nutrients and create MORE...IFFFFFFF we remain connected to source....

And...as a leaf, you have a leaf neighbor...and you have a soul cluster within that branch of your tree...and you can grow together, experiencing great expansion if you join energetic forces...

while the branch on the opposite side of the tree is experiencing different light, different wind, different humidity...etc AKA a different DESIRE for life expansion--those on your side of the tree will generally be focused in a similar direction=--they will have chose, as jody said--a loose decision to help each other experience the contrast they so desired so they could see this individual life from a pre-chosen perspective...for expansion, knowledge and indeed joy...

and at the end of the season (life in the physical) the leaves turn miraculous colors (return to pure positive energy) and shed their dead dry leaves (physical bodies) which are then recycled by the earth to create compost and soil that again FEEDS the tree of life (nothing is wasted, energy comes into form, through form and out of form)...the potential for new life remains inside the tree (universe, source, all that is) and when the right climactic and light situations occur (desire for coming into the physical again for creation)...new leaves grow...tiny buds flower with GREAT joy and feed the bees, and the birds and bless the world with fresh air and begin the cycle of creation again...

So, bless the tree...the flower, the plant--all physical representatives of this wonderful universe within which we live and breath and have our being...and know that you are indeed a member of a soul branch that shares much...and creates much for the entire universe...
