Message from the Mountain

The bird feeders are all hung about a foot from our windows, giving us wonderful opportunities to observe the birds that come for the food. I can tell without even looking when the woodpeckers are gathering suet because the sound is like a knock at the door. Sometimes knocks at my heart tell me it is time to share positive loving nourishment with others.

As I looked out the window into the woods, I spotted two bald eagles facing each other on a tree. Looking closer I realized it was two snowcapped burls. I often see things in Nature that are not what I thought. The same thing happens in life. What we originally think about something, may be different than we thought.

With all the ice and snow that has accumulated on roofs and trees it is very important to keep watch for hazards from above, demonstrated by the large ice chunks by our front door. Had we been standing under them, they could have caused serious injury. It is a good idea to keep heads up in life for any type of decision making.

The weather forecast was for a blizzard covering a good part of New England, and our local school was cancelled. However, we woke up to a snowless view of the mountains while the southern part of the state got a snowstorm. In life we have choices in how we deal with predictions beyond the weather. Our heartfelt belief can help change our prediction in life for the better.

Last night the sunset was very red. According to the old saying, “Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning; red sky at night, sailor’s delight,” the morning was supposed to be fair weather. Not so. We are experiencing the tip of a major snowstorm. It just goes to show that not everything in life plays out as expected. Flexibility can help us make the adjustments.

We received six inches of snow overnight and are now getting ready for another storm due tomorrow. I seem to have a lot of “in betweens” where I prepare by setting my intentions as best as I can for my next assignment along my soul’s path.

Just when we think spring is beginning to gain on winter, another snowstorm has blanketed the region. It is the ups and downs of the season that could last all the way into April. Like the weather, life has ups and downs all year long. When we set our intentions for guidance by our invisible team, the ups and downs are more even.

It seems as if I am always on a quest for signs that guide me in the direction of my Soul’s purpose; nature signs, seasonal changes, pussy willows with a few tiny white buds ready to burst. It is also possible to feel the energy of the plants that are building up their strength to push through the still frozen soil.

This has been a great winter for people who love snow sports. Whether on foot, snowshoe, or ski, the trails behind the Center are well worth the climb. Wherever you are in nature, any energy that can fill your heart with gratitude can be passed on to others.

I am surrounded by the beauty of Nature, but where I sit I can see little light catchers in the windows and other items hand crafted by known and unknown people. Their energy also surrounds me, as well as my own invisible team. I believe it is good for everyone to be surrounded by love in many different forms

The homemade jelly was good to the last bite. Sometimes people never finish the last bite, saving it for another occasion, and in the meantime it spoils. In life we sometimes do not finish something special because we don’t want it to end. There is a new jelly waiting to be tasted, just as there are new adventures waiting in life.

The pointed icicle lodged into a snowbank reminded me that Nature wants me to make a point about making points. I think that mindfulness is important. The way a point is made can make a big difference in the way it is accepted. I often use stories to make a point without directly confronting others.

I really enjoy my coffee, but I realized I was probably drinking too much, and some friends suggested drinking white pine needle tea for positive health results. So, I went out back, away from any pollution, and gathered some pine. I think it is a good change, and making positive changes in our lives is always a good thing.

Today, Valentine’s Day, there are many hearts in the world that are glowing, including mine, as it reflects on the magical alpine glow of Mt. Chocorua, the mountain that brought us to this area years ago. I am grateful for the views of life we have from these hills and know that wherever you are there is a glow waiting to fill your heart.

I have a habit that started years ago as an “intention”, pausing for a moment and experiencing the beauty in Nature. I would take a breath, breathing up from the ground and down from the sky, meeting in my heart with gratitude. Now I do this automatically, many times a day for many reasons.

We are entering a warming spell as the days creep slowly toward spring. Each day when I first open my eyes, I thank Source for a beautiful morning regardless of what the weather is doing. My intention is to see the beauty of life in many different forms. My goal is to experience and share this beauty all year long!!!!!!!!

My wife created a book “Message from the Mountain 2025” and gave it to me for my birthday. It is filled with all the pictures and messages that were in my podcasts for the year. I will add them to all the other books she has created. To me it shows the work she does daily in editing the podcasts. I am just the channel from Source. You are also a messenger for love!

Do you ever look at a clock and see the numbers all lined up like 5:55? If so, does it happen frequently? And does it mean anything to you? I choose to see numbers lined up as a sign from my invisible, but very active, loving team sending me positive signs and guidance on my Soul’s path.

SURROUNDED BY LOVE. I set my intentions to be a channel for the Cosmos’s unconditional love, and when I see signs such as a heart in the snow, in my mind I know that I am surrounded by the love I that intend to channel. It sure makes life interesting to live with the concept that this is a part of my Soul’s path.

The afternoon sun shone for a few brief moments on a stained-glass dragonfly hanging in the front window. It seemed to come to life. Something seen in the light can give us a different perspective, even for just a brief moment.

We get a lot of pleasure during the winter watching the birds that come to the feeders for sunflower seeds and suet. In the meantime, the birds are getting important nourishment to help them get through the season. It is a tradeoff. When we do something positive that helps someone else, we often feel warmth in our hearts.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
