Greetings!
I hope this report finds you smiling in gratitude for You!
I spent the day packing up my truck and taking care of few more logistics. I've been feeling extreme gratitude for friends who are willing to assist with the more worldly things...like forwarding stranded mail, and helping me hoist the cargo carrier on top of Pegasus (Simon's and my sacred white horse chariot), and a few sweet dinners and games of cribbage and backgammon. Speaking of horses, also known to me as landwhales, I spent a few hours at Animals as Natural Therapy with their perfect horse herd. I am madly in love with the herd (and all herds), and have a special relationship with a sweet Arabian gelding named Mocha. Wouldn't you know this Lover of Chocolate and Coffee would end up in a love affair with a horse named Mocha. (Simon's not jealous as I think the three of us have been companions before. And besides, both of these guys know all about Oneness, and keep trying to remind me :O)
So, as you have probably surmised, I remain in Bellingham for the moment. Reason. Mountain pass reports urge caution and traction tires on slushy, icy roads. Snow levels are hovering around 4500', but rain is predicted beginning tomorrow (Thursday) evening, so departure is imminent. In Bellingham, we're finally back to balmy temps after a long cold spell. This latest warming due to a tropical flow from the south.
So, not that you're wondering or anything, but, just in case, here's what's up on Laura's quest of quests. The lesson I'm hearing a lot at the moment is to remember to rest my mind A LOT. And, to remember I am not the Do'er, except of my confused mind. And to NOT feel guilty when I forget to remember all this stuff, but just to return to Love's sanity as often as I remember.
I am learning yet again, that "I am not the Do'er" is a sweet and gentle reminder to never not trust the inner prompt. And, to remember that I am always safe and provided for no matter what happens, and that I am not separate from anything. Anything at all. Holy, holy, holy. The world in my mind sure does have other ideas about that one sometimes!!!
I embark, as usual, with heartfelt peace and joy mixed with false trepidation. Ah the non-dual, but appearing dual, existence of the impossible dream! I continue strengthening my determination to fall even more totally in love with Love (and that's everything), whilst releasing the fear of it within my mind! What a journey! Like, dude man, why couldn't I have chosen a treasure hunt for a lost tomb in Egypt or Mexico or exploring a coral reef off some tropical isle, or spending my time staring in the sky waiting to see the super nova I am sure will occur within my lifetime. No! I go for the Big Kahuna of Awakening!
'ceppin ain't no regrets. I love this journey. (And if I feel an inner prompt, I could do those other things, too. Time is Love, and Love is Time after all.)
As Love would have it, this evening, while having a moment of feeling more false trepidation than peace in (appearing to) leave that which I love (dear friends and horses and landscapes of northwesty clouds, the play of light, water, islands, mountains and trees and valleys and...and...and), I received enormous comfort when I discovered the following gem on Regina Dawn Akers' website (Regina scribed Holy Spirit's Interpretation of the New Testament). Reading what follows led to a deep, cleansing breath. Check out this Single, Quiet Thought from Holy Spirit.
The spiritual path
is a path of knowing
one step at a time
as knowing is revealed.
Therefore the spiritual path
is also a path of not-knowing.
One who knows
with the proud, proud mind
is not open to revealing.
Revealed-knowing
without mind-knowing
is the unfolding of the spiritual path.
Gotta love synchronicity! By the way, here's Regina's website if you're ever looking for more gems and an exquisite library of teaching recordings that are manna from Heaven for the mistaken, confused mind: http://reginadawnakers.com)
Thanks for checking in!
TAKE VERY GOOD CARE & SWEET DREAMS!
