Remember wine takes time to become all it can be.  There is a moment when it reaches that fine state of perfection.  There is that moment when you reach that place where you can feel yourself flowing and in alignment with your life.  There are many such moments when you are engrossed in doing something you love to do.  Time stands still, or it flows right by.  You are not paying attention, because you are in the moment with whatever is present in you.  The Master paints his mural. The musician is lost in her music. The mother cradles her new child.  Life was meant to be like those moments, strung together endlessly creating your own special song.  Take time to notice them now more often. Seek them out and live in them longer and longer.  Your life will become the tapestry you always dreamed about. It is possible. It was meant to be. Sing your own song of joy.

Let the light which you are shine brightly this season.  Give the gift of your love.  Not because you should, or you need to.  Give for the sake of giving, as if this were the most precious and special gift you could share with everyone.  Just send little packages of love wherever you go.  If you are driving, walking, shopping, paying bills, cleaning house. Send your love to everything and everyone around you for a change.  Just look at someone and say “I love you.” silently, and mean it.  Just for the fun of it.  It is free and yet magic can happen!  Silently bestow this gift and sometimes you will see the smile, or sparkle.  Your house might look brighter when everything is blessed with a little love!  You might feel brighter yourself.  Animals do this naturally.  Perhaps you can begin a new habit and transform your life and everyone and everything around you! It is just a thought!  Just a new game to play today!

Sparkling snow melts away into a river of life, nourishing plants, renewing life, evaporating into clouds and down into snow again and again.  Love is like that river.  It melts into things, nourishes them, renews life.  It seems to go away sometimes and then return again and again.  In reality it is always present in every moment.  The door to love is always open, always flowing, infinite and endless.  Open yourself to receive Its’ Grace and endlessly share that with others.  For the gift of love is priceless and when given, always blesses the giver in return.  I bless each of you this time of year as the short days grow longer and the light becomes brighter around you, and in your heart.  May you shine ever brighter every day and help create a new world in which to live this coming year. One filled to overflowing with the Love of the Universe, including your own.

Life is always a series of steps, one after another. In reality, you are never sure what tomorrow will bring.  You never know exactly what is going to happen, who you will meet, who will call, what life has to offer you.  Perhaps snow will fall where it never has been seen before.  A flood might occur where there was a drought.  You often dance through life and the unknown, without ever giving it a second thought.  You merely trust that tomorrow will take care of itself.  The only challenge comes when you make plans, or have a dream, goals, visions for the future.  Then you begin to worry and imagine the worst, or challenges you do not want to encounter, and problems which really do not exist. 

I come here today to remind you to consider your dreams and plans as if, they too were just tomorrow and yet another day.  Trust things will turn out perfect and life will give you more gifts than you could imagine.  Each day, each dream, each life is lived one step at a time. The trick is to enjoy each step along the way.  Savor the ride and celebrate each moment, because each one is a gift.  Get so involved in the moment, you seem to forget about what lies ahead and before you know it, there you are, safe and sound and delighted by the magic of it all.

Morgine we never think of self nurturing as if it were something separate in our lives. The more we love ourselves, the more the world sings brightly to us.  The more our lives shine, the greater the magic, the more magnificent are our days.  All life is a mirror dear one and the more  you care for yourself, doing things you love, which demonstrate how much you love and care and appreciate yourself, the more the world will bow down at your feet with all that you desire to create.

For when you begin to truly care for yourself, the world will care for you. When you love yourself, only then can you begin to recognize all the love which pours forth towards you daily and which you seldom allow in.  You will begin to open yourself to the embrace of a world which pulsates with love and life, and an iridescent you seldom experience, because it is hidden behind eyes too tired to look and see what is real.  You focus on what is not and get caught in that narrow band of reality, forgetting the unlimited expanse from which you grew and which is yours, always, in the blink of an eye.

Begin to love and nurture yourself and you will open up to the magic that has always been yours. First, however, you must be willing to open up to it. You must demonstrate, with your beliefs, that it is real.  You must remember that life is all you imagine it can be and a thousand times more rich and vibrant and delicious.  Savor yourself.  Appreciate the delight you are to the Divine. Recognize God only creates what God loves. God creates in beauty and love always. You are a work of art.  When you deny that, and you are telling God that you are ugly, limited, not worth spending a few minutes on daily, you separate yourself from all the magic that is yours.  Inhale your own fragrance.  Look forward with the delight of a child, to finding new ways to experience yourself and how you add your own magic to the soup of life.  God creates only beauty, only love, only the most precious and divine of Beings. Yet with freedom of thought, you can choose to experience in any form you desire.

Real love knows no bounds, Morgine. It takes in and nurtures all you see and experience. It holds, love, joy, hatred, grief, anger, resentment, loss, hope, reverence, destruction, all within Its’ body, for it is all there is, in every moment of your life.  When you finally wake up one day, and look into the mirror, you will say, “I am sacred. I am holy.  I am love.  I am God. I am the beauty of all that I see.”  When you can reflect that truly to yourself, the universe will fall at your feet, and joy will reign supreme in your heart.   You will no longer look for things to do which bring you joy. You will have become that Joy, and it will be reflected out in everything  you do.  And we shall all be blessed and celebrate your awakening into the light of your own divine nature.

Dear Angel/Deva of Honeybees,

What message would you like to share me, a member of the Human race regarding the disappearance of your species around the planet at certain locations. How can we help?  Is this a message from you or are you in need of help?  I open my heart to your message and words today, Appreciating Honeybees Day, May 2^nd, 2007.  We are all One in this magical place in which we live, so your needs and desires are mine as well, to assist in creating more balance in all our lives.

“This is not a time for patience.  It is a time for action. We can no longer exist in the conditions in which we find ourselves now.  There are too many distractions and actions which take us away from our work.  We must overcompensate for the many things which are happening around the planet and until now, we were able to do so. We could mutate our energies and still maintain our balance.  We were able to survive and continue to add our love and unique energies to the whole of creation daily.  Today this is becoming more and more impossible and we may find it necessary to leave this amazing place all together.

There is no one answer, Morgine, there are many.  Humans are taking over more and more land without any considerations at all for nature and all the Beings who have co-existed there for eternity.  Each time you scrape off the plants and dig holes and create a mall, a road, or a new buildings, animals and insects loose their homes to yours, and you give nothing back in return.  You take and take without concern for those who co-exist with you here, and who have just as much a right to their place of being as you do.  What is this a reflection of in human lives?

We diligently go about our days, blissfully creating things you now enjoy, like honey and honey comb and pollen. We pollinate the flowers and fruits you eat.  As your appetites grow, it slows us down and we can no longer keep up!  Again you strip away what you desire and seldom leave us with much, if anything at all. Ancient hives, hundreds and hundreds of years old, have been stripped from the jungles and there is nothing left in their place.  Beginning again and again takes time and energy and we are being worn out. Are your days filled with bliss or are you feeling overworked and exhausted?

Some hives are placed by roadways and highways with a constant stream of cars.  The air is filled with chemicals and it is difficult for us to remain healthy in these environments.  More and more chemicals and poisons are being used on the plants we feed upon. At times we mutated ourselves to adopt and survive this onslaught, yet today it often seems to have no end.  Every year there are stronger versions to cope with. Are you creating things which enhance and improve your own lives or which take away from its integrity and beauty and leave you with even less than before?

There are also other things which are a part of your civilization I feel you call it.  More and more people have more and more devices requiring electricity and waves which go through the air to make them work.  However, it is not the waves alone. Compounding the waves is the energy of the people themselves which are ever evolving as well.  People are in a hurry much of the time and feel there is never enough of all the things they desire more of, and so the stress rises and rises. They rush around in a hurry and that energy is also shared with all species of things sharing their environment.  If you worked every day with someone who was worried, it would greatly impact how you could carry on your own tasks. So we are surrounded by humans now who are busily speeding around in their lives, stressed out, angry, frustrated, unsatisfied, worried and sometimes even living in fear of something awful happening in the future.

We are gentle, sensitive beings of light and love, as you once were yourselves.  You have evolved into a denser and more denser form and once again, some of you are seeking to “lighten” up and connect with your true nature, the essence of who you  truly are.  I will leave you with a question to ponder on your own. What is it we represent or mirror to the human race, which is slowly disappearing and possibly needs to be manifested back in order to attract and re-ignite our appearance back into your lives again?  We appreciate your love, however, that alone, is not enough.”

I suddenly felt this with my body and soul.  Something I had forgotten and yet is so very true. Throughout our history, the bee has been a significant symbol of many things from sexuality and fertility, to wisdom and accomplishing the impossible (in reference to its flying ability, which long mystified our scientists).    The most common references are to “fertility and the honey of life“.

Essentially all bees are “honey” bees as they gather and pollinate and are often considered the busiest and most useful of all insects.  Without them flowers and many fruits would never blossom. They also furnish food in the form of honey and pollen and prey on other insects, helping to maintain the balance in the insect population.

The tarot card representing the bee is The Lovers.  With the stinger being a phallic symbol and the flower feminine with its sweet nectar, bees reflect new love and sexual energies at play.  They remind us to extract the honey of life and to make our lives fertile while the sun is shining and opportunities present themselves. No matter how great and impossible your dream, the bees reflect the ability for us to produce results.  They are well organized with clear distinct tasks and responsibilities.  They are great communicators and share with others where the best sources for nectar are located.

How far away have we traveled from these ways of Being? How often do we note that everything we use eat and wear originated in Nature and perhaps some form of Gratitude and giving back is needed daily?  Are we overwhelmed with so many choices, we stand still and do nothing?  Are we making healthy choices which will enhance and improve our future, or are we poisoning ourselves to death with chemicals and our “throw away” mentality, too busy to worry about re-using anything anymore?  Are we becoming workaholics and not taking time to savor and enjoy the honey of our endeavors?  Are we always searching for ways to create win win situations and cooperate with others, instead of insisting others do it “our way”?  Do we look for ways to Share our riches with others or do we tend to keep them to ourselves?  Are we connecting with our true purpose and passion and adding our love and joy to every environment we find ourselves in, or are we actually extracting what we need, in a desperate attempt to survive our days, futilely hoping tomorrow will somehow be better?

I am feeling the Bees disappearance is symbolic of something much deeper than merely chemicals or cell phone waves.  We are suffering from “over civilization” the world over, as we attempt to “industrialize and globalize” the world and destroy any remains of ancient civilizations.  Modern man often considers them lazy and ignorant and yet, they are often richer in love, joy, pleasure and fulfillment in every day, than we can find in a lifetime filled with all the “things” we create to bring us joy, at the expense of the planet upon which we live, and all the creatures who share it with us.  Perhaps a more simple lifestyle, sharing, cooperation, giving back, and loving all of life, including ourselves, can be the beginning of welcoming them back into our lives once again.
