Message from the Mountain

I am always looking for signs that indicate possibilities. When I imagined a polar bear in a bank of snow across the road, I imagined winter is not done with us yet. The polar bear looked real to me until the sun shifted, and it vanished. Imagination can also be negative, but that is when I turn those thoughts over to my team for positive resolutions.

There is an old mantra like this: “Every day in every way…”, and then each person sets a goal at the end of the saying. For me that is being on call for the Cosmos or whatever my Souls assignment may be next. It really makes life interesting!

Now that the sunsets will reach five pm in the next day or so, my nightly ritual of watching for the daylight to increase will ease as I focus on the ever-warming sun, even when the nights still may reach below zero. I find each day to be filled with gratitude and positive intentions to engage with life as the days seem to speed by.

Winter will be around for several more weeks, and cold-weather-lovers will find joy as they embrace it. Nature has provided a lot of beautiful scenes as well as snow activities. My intention is to find joy in every day, all year long, that I can share in many different ways with others

We have finally reached the halfway point in astrological winter. There is an old belief that if the ground hog sees its shadow, winter will continue for six weeks. Regardless of how the weather goes, every day is an opportunity to express gratitude, love and good intentions toward others.

Today, I turned the calendar page to February, a month away from meteorological spring. We are two thirds’ there. Tomorrow, Ground hogs Day, we are halfway to astrological spring. Every day, I am grateful to be able to channel heart love from the Source that keeps life alive every day.

I check the weather forecast each day, the first thing in the morning, to see what time the sun sets. I have been doing this for years, going back to when my wife could drive home from work at five without using her lights. The time has moved slowly this cold January. I trust that my timing is up to my team.

We have a five-foot stone grinding wheel with a hole in the middle balancing on a stone wall in front of our home. The snow creates the image of a large bagel or doughnut waiting for some jelly. It reminds me that when life is bland, we can add some positive sweetness to it with positive actions.

I chuckled when I noticed that a couple of benches behind our garage were all filled with snow. There was no room to sit. It reminded me that often our minds are so filled with thoughts that there is no opportunity to pause and rest and communicate with our source. It is good to take a positive grateful breath and sit for a few moments.

With a couple of feet of new snow, the best approach for me is to take my time making a path to the car. When I was younger, I would just dive into things without thinking ahead. I hope I have learned to set my intentions that what I am attempting to do is the right way for the right purpose.

FINDING COMFORT. I like to be comfortable, and I wear an extra layer or two when the weather is freezing outside. I also like comfort food, but now have some food allergies, so my choices are limited. I also like to have a comfortable mind, and that is helped by my belief that something is always with me.

It’s been a few years since we have had a snowstorm measuring over a foot. We have been watching the weather report as we followed it across the country. It seems as though people spend a good part of their lives waiting for big ones, both positive and negative. For me, I have learned to trust that whatever is in the future, my team ls there to assist me through.

Most people love to tell stories, especially as they get older, reminiscing about the “good old days”. Then there are story tellers who have a point to their stories to help others look at a situation from a different view without engaging them in a confrontive way. That is when you leave the story you are telling and step into a story of their own.

Several times a day I find myself with a smile on my face caused by something that crossed my mind. It could be from the past, the present, or a thought of someone else. When you are smiling and others feel the positive energy behind your smile, it may cause them to smile, and who knows where your smile will spread.

When we first arrived in the valley, we used to drive a road that gave us a breathtaking view of the majestic mountains to the west. We built our home where we had that view. Now, sixty years later, the majestic mountains are still there, even though the valley has changed considerably. It is good to have stability in our hearts, regardless of how our world changes.

With the recent cold weather our thoughts focused on the memory of the joy of eating fresh baked bread. I used to make it before I became allergic to gluten. Now that there is gluten free flour, it was time to try again. The results were not the same. We find many things different from what we remember. We have changed. It is time to make updates.

At just the right time, when the sun is coming up, it creates an alpine glow that can spotlight a single mountain. Sometimes people who are not used to being in the spotlight are noticed by others for something either positive or negative. That is the time to let a positive light shine through for the good of others.

Winter has returned and the snow is adding up again one inch at a time, with a dusting or more each day instead of a big storm. Life changes the same way, a little bit at a time. It all adds up. We can make progress or we can regress if we are not mindful of the little changes. One inch or one moment, life and the weather move on.

The new coating of white snow has freshened up the landscape. It reminds me of a term called “whitewashing”, when white paint is used to cover up surface flaws to create a fresh clean feeling. People often try to whitewash their lives so other people won’t discover their flaws. Perfection comes from positive heart-based intentions.

Years ago I saw a commercial on television advertising a cereal that adults may have eaten as a child. The message was, “discovering it again for the first time.” It stuck in my head, reminding me that we can discover life again for the first time every day.

A lot of snow has melted the last few days. We have reached the half-way point to meteorological spring, and now winter is starting over again. In life we can start all over again every day to keep us in tune with our soul’s purpose, even if it is in just a small way.

The recent January thaw inspired me to start getting my legs in shape for the warmer weather of spring. I began with a simple walk of fifty laps around the house. Usually, it is people that inspire me with their positive acts of kindness. Inspiration is supported by belief, a reminder of the reason for inspiration, and a daily intention to put the inspiration into action.

Now that we are halfway through January and daylight has reached 4:30 PM. I am realizing Ground Hog Day is less than three weeks away. It was the morning shadows I saw out the window that caused me to think about shadows and fear for what hides within them. Fortunately, morning shadows disappear, as do shadows in our hearts with our inner light.

I have been enjoying the last few days of a January thaw. I can even see where the snow has melted off a pile of rocks, something I will really focus on as spring nears. My goal each morning is to find something in the day to enjoy regardless of the weather. Then I remind myself how grateful I am to have that opportunity.

The beech limbs are still hanging on to their leaves while most all the other variety of trees let theirs fly in the winds of fall. People have habits that this time of year they would like to change. However, some hang on way beyond their time to go. Knowing it is time and believing in the purpose for letting go can help the transition.

When I started doing podcasts, I found myself ending each one saying, “’Tis my prayer that these words are right and good for you whenever you hear them.” Everyone prays differently. It is very personal. I have learned that I do not hold up the world and that I have an incredible team placing acts of kindness that may touch lives now and in the future.

We had been promised a January thaw for several days by the weather reporters and it has finally happened. It got me thinking about promises made and then what happens. I believe that the “power of the moment when the promise is made” can lead to a positive intention that repeated to oneself daily can become a reality for the greater good.

Nature has given us a few days above normal temperatures.  In life little reprieves can help us find rejuvenation from the pressures we may experience. Perhaps a short vacation can help, even if it is just a day. For me, I can find a short reprieve inside of my heart by focusing on love, peace and gratitude with the help of my team.

With the cold winter weather I have a lot of time on my hands to gaze out the window and imagine faces created by Nature looking back at me. People that are consumed with fear could believe there is something negative trying to take them over, while others love to play with what they are experiencing. I love to imagine positive signs as a way of connecting to my heart.

We have been waiting well over a week for the weather to warm enough to thaw out the ice that coats the land. Finally, that wait may be over. In life it seems as though there is always something to be waiting for, either with negative or positive anticipation. Remember that you have a spiritual team standing by to help with the waiting. Heart love is the best energy to attract the positive.

I had not been up on the mountain to check on the Cabin since the ice storm, over a week ago. I had my 4-wheel drive truck, sand and shovels, but when I got beyond the cemetery, I found the road was blocked with small trees. I had forgotten to bring a saw. So, I backed out and will bring the right tools next time. In life there is always something that could block us. The key is to be positive and flexible.

The little brook that flows by my window appeared to be frozen solid due to our current cold spell. Then I heard the faint sound of running water under the ice: when life seems to be frozen solid, there is still a flow of positive energy in our hearts to help us stay warm in our pursuit of our life purpose!!!!!

The last day of 2025 was amazing. If we hadn’t had a guest at the Center, we would have had a really big problem. She noticed that a casement window had blown out overnight and the pipes were frozen; later the power went out. During the day everything came to gather and started working again. I know the angels were on duty!!!!!!!!

The weight of the frozen rain on the tree limbs created a lot of power problems. Just when we thought we were at the end of the storm, we were plunged into a blackout where we went from light to total darkness. Fortunately, we were prepared with candles. In life when we face blackouts, we do have an inner light that can shine through and guide us.

Probably the most dreaded of winter storms is an ice storm; it rains when the temperature is below freezing and everything turns into a gigantic skating rink. On one of those days it is best to just hunker down and be grateful for those that keep the power on and the roads safe. My heart is filled with gratitude!!!!!!

I woke up this morning with no voice, just a whisper. I thought about whispering and how people whisper to each other so as not to be overheard. At the same time Nature is always whispering to us, often with positive advice coming out of the Cosmos. All we need to do is tune in and listen.
