Cannon Beach
This time of major SLOW DOWN and INTROSPECTION has felt healing and chaotic with BIG WAVES OF EMOTION ranging from Gratitude to Helplessness.
I like to listen to an astrologer who calls himself Kaypacha. You can find him on youtube under the name Astrology for the Soul. His astrological reading for March 18th was informative and heart altering for me.
Here I share some of what he says:
“Let's learn from this experience. Check the health effects on the planet. Move into the future responsibly. We need to be taking responsibility for the old people, for each other, for our self, for the great Mother.”
“When we put profit above Life, the environment., and above everything else to the point of lying, hiding or denying; this is what has brought this on from a spiritual perspective. This is a major reset to help us get back to the human nature, to our human qualities and go forward as a family to create future community.”
“It is very sad that death, panic, and crashing economies are necessary to wake us up to this need to stay in our heart's space.”
He ends his message with this:
“Mantra for now: When I live today like there is no tomorrow, I give thanks for the love I have shared with other. May you share the love. Aloha, Namaste, So much love.”
These words inspired me to look back on some of my photos from earlier times when the world seemed more alright than it does now. I stumbled upon something I had written a while ago but never shared.
Kaypacha’s message to stay in my heart space encouraged me to practice being vulnerable and open my heart to all of you here by sharing some of what I feel love for in this life.
After reading this, I hope it may move you to want to explore in your own heart what it is that you love. Take some time to write it down. Perhaps one day when you are no longer living in physical form here on planet Earth, others who knew and loved you will be able to rejoice with your spirit by remembering you and what you felt deep love for.
