Some discuss the existence of a universal hum, the first sound vibration from which the world was created. With the heat wave that is persisting in the Northeast right now, there is an earthly hum, a sound vibration created by machines.
When I am asked, “How do you remember to take your bags to the store?” I have to draw within and ask the question of myself. Perfection does not exist here, and there is much room for continued growth of awareness in my connection with Mother Nature. It is in the little moments, in the little actions, that I cultivate a connection. “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” give us all time and space to evolve.
So, when the heat is on outside, switch the thinking. Instead of running and retreating from Mother Nature, embrace and experience. With the heat outside, allow yourself to slow down, wear light clothing, take frequent cold water rinses, sweat, rest, eat lightly. The Mother is speaking to us, are we listening, are we turning away, are we running away?
The ease with which the shopping bags are in your arms as you walk into the store will be a reflection of your moment to moment actions. Mother Nature is beautiful when we have her on our terms, can we find some beauty in all experiences? As we sat outside last night, at the front of our home where it was cooler, with just a candle burning, we invited a universal moment into our being, talking freely, looking at the stars, and feeling the slightly cooler evening air. Invite, invoke, enjoy!
As it gets hotter and hotter outside, we are retreating further and further into our man created zones. Air conditioners are creating a hum in our neighborhood. It is quiet outside, no one walking unless it is an animal that needs some relief. No one is sitting on a porch, on steps, on a deck. Last night when my husband and I sat outside talking, he remarked that there was no concern of anyone overhearing our conversation. Everyone was locked safely away! Everyone is scuttling from the AC in the home to the AC in the car. Even when someone drives by who I know, there is only a wave, windows are tightly sealed.
