Message from the Mountain

The birds, insects, and some animals find their nourishment from flowers like the brown-eyed Susan. People find their soul’s nourishment from being in and observing Nature. All we need to do is to take a moment wherever we are and open our minds to the wonders around us.

The pickling pears are half ripe and waiting to be paired up with someone that wants to harvest them. We don’t want them, so usually it is the animals that will enjoy the fruit. People have abilities or products that could use some help pairing with someone to find positive benefits for others.

The Enchanted Pathway is just below the Labyrinth, and it is full of little figures to stir the imagination of children. It can also help adults recapture the magic of their childhood.

People have been coming here to the mountains for over 150 years to escape the heat in the cities during the summer. It is an opportunity to rejuvenate their souls as they prepare for the changing season ahead.

There is a three-foot-tall unassuming wildflower I see along the trails in bloom this time of year called pink steeplebrush. It reminds me of people that go about their lives almost hidden from others, who make special contributions to the nature of life.

To me the sumac blossoms are one of the first hints that summer is beginning to slowly make a transition into the fall. The cool nights after a heat wave also do the same. When we are aware of each day, we are also aware of all the changes in life that are constantly happening.

There are a couple of high bush blueberries close to the Cabin that have some maturing fruit. The hope is that we harvest some muffins soon unless the birds get to them first. There are people currently creating a crop of positivity with the hope that it will help create a caring future.

For many years I have always wanted to have enough varieties of daylilies to create a parade of blooms all summer long, and now that is happening. Many people dream or hope for things that never happen because they shut off the energy of attraction by focusing on why it will not happen.

A friend who is also a professional gardener recently planted the wooden container to the rim in Barbara’s section of the Ormond Gardens. This act of kindness filled my heart to the rim with gratitude.

As I have mentioned many times before, my wife has a special “garden” outside her office window. It is filled with low maintenance garden sculptures. She has allergies and this is her way to enjoy Nature. We do not have to work hard at everything in life to enjoy it.
