Ch ch ch changes.......

May Day - no not a cry for help but a holiday the Spanish take very seriously, so a quiet start to the day as no-one is taking children to school or heading for the bakers for their daily bread, peacefulness rests over the village......
As the summer here sets in I find myself spending the days outside as much as possible, before it gets too hot in the daytime, and so I have been more internally focused - reflecting and enjoying the moment watching and listening to the birds, talking to them when they come and give me a solo performance :) Each day new blooms appear on the plants and I love to just absorb their colour and revel in their beauty, butterflies , bees and flying beetles return, the Med sparkles clearly on the horizon - olive orange and lemon all flowering - essence of rose drifts by on the breeze.......
I read in the last energy alert how people can see things so differently - 2 friends of mine were telling me about another mutual acquaintance and heard opposite views, one saying that she is fine just going thru bit of a bad time and wondering why they have had nothing but bad luck since living in Spain and another tells me she is not looking her usual immaculate self mmmmmmm, knowing what this family is going thru, I realise this lady made a big effort for one of my friends and was spotted by the other so wasn't "performing" - those that are going through major struggles at the mo and there is quite a few are not coming into my space - probably best as my honesty might not be what they want/need LOL - especially as I observe their behaviour towards life and others.........
The estate agents in the village have all had to smarten up - as the ayunmiento has decided to implement the new laws regarding the buying and selling of property, one agent no longer has houses for sale just plots of land which is always a dicey business as they will always tell you that water and electricity is close by or about to be connected.......mmmmm.......well it had to catch up on them eventually they have all had a good run for their money........
Do not regret all that you have missed, but, instead, rejoice in all that you will NOW Embrace.
We spent last Friday afternoon over at Julio's, collecting oranges lemons broad beans and artichokes a veritable feast......and he read to me a poem he had written - here it is - he says anti-war and I say pro-peace :)
I THINK I'LL GROW MY BEARD LONG
AND THEN HENNA IT RED
I'LL TIE DYE A BED SHEET
AND WRAP IT AROUND MY HEAD
I'LL CALL MYSELF BIN JULIO
JUST ARRIVED FROM THE SERENGETTI
I'LL MAKE BOMBS OF CHOCOLATE SPONGE
TIGHTLY PACKED WITH CONFETTI
I'LL PREACH AGAINST RELIGIONS
AND OTHER EVILS TOO
I'LL GIVE FREE CAKES TO THE CHILDREN
ORANGES AND APPLES TOO
I'LL MASTER THE ONE STRINGED FIDDLE
TO GET MY MESSAGE ACROSS
PLAYED IN A DELTA BLUES STYLE
LIKE SKIP JAMES OR J.B. LA CROIAX
AND IF ALL THIS DOESN'T WORK
AND PEACE DOESN'T WIN THROUGH
WHY? I THINK I'LL PACK MY LEAVING TRUNK
AND MOVE TO TIMBUCTOO...................J. MacAllister

This came to me today - coincidence???? LOL
Change is upon everyone. You can seek it out; embrace it. Allow it to create a shift within your life that will come through ease and gentleness. Change is always a part of living on earth. .........You may find over the next several days or weeks that there will be a great deal coming to your attention. Recognise that you will continue to be integrating these aspects of yourself. As you do so be gentle, be compassionate, release judgement and accept Who You Are. Take this moment to look at your life.........


This next bit resonates all to clearly.....so I am learning to stop trying.......letting go/surrendering.....LOL

(Yes, but I feel as if my best is not good enough. I keep trying to do this and it's not good enough. I keep trying to do better and it doesn't work).

By saying that your best is not good enough, you are judging yourself. You judge it because you look at your life and you realize you want certain things in your life and they are not there; therefore you are not good enough to manifest it, you are not good enough to be in alignment.{Re-uniting}

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
- George Orwell

A magician dances the dance of love through offering gifts of freedom to others. This is real magic. Freed from the need to use power to manipulate or control, a magician uses wisdom to manifest liberation and love.
