It’s not about right and wrong; it’s about choices and consequences.
~Gaia
This quote from Gaia has popped into my head many times lately. It’s such a clear reminder of my tendency to judge and place blame rather than figuring out what I need to learn. I am working on this but I have a feeling it will be a lifelong process!

Dear ones, my beloved,
You can know for sure that we are leaving the realm of judgment and duality. Humans have fallen into a pattern of duality, thinking of things as right or wrong, good or bad, positive or negative, black or white. How limiting this is!
Often things that seem disastrous when they happen turn out to be blessings and gifts. The issue is perspective and a tendency to jump to conclusions without giving the situation some time. You can be so impatient and so quick to think you have answers.
Consider the oak tree. It is patient and so very calm. When storms come, the oak sways with the wind and stands strong. Trees are resilient. They face many dangers and challenges, yet remain undistressed. They know that all is well, no matter how hard the winds blow.
You have this capacity, this capability, as well! Storms and challenges are a part of life. They are opportunities to grow and learn. You are divine beings!!! You have wisdom accessible to you each moment. Myriad beings of the Unseen realm-angels, devas, loving spirits and your Mother/Father God are very near, loving you without ceasing, offering guidance and assistance each moment.
We hear your slightest call, your quietest whisper of need and we respond, holding you close to our hearts of love. As you let go of judgment and your need to compare yourselves to others, freedom rests upon you and within you.
Time spent blaming and judging is not helpful-either to you or those you are blaming and judging. That time would be better spent looking calmly at what is happening and considering the many options that are available and what the consequences will be. In this quiet discernment, wisdom flows to you in great abundance. You can hear that still, small voice within and act with clarity and confidence.
Some choices are difficult at first. But acting with wisdom and discernment becomes easier with time. It is like a muscle that becomes stronger with practice.
Trust the process of life for it is your teacher and your friend. I love you, my darlings. I hold out my arms and long to hold you close and share my love which is so intense and enduring.
I love you, precious ones. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend

I loved reading these words of life on this Earth Day… I intend to awaken to the ways I continue to judge and blame… I intend to be in the present moment and hear and feel the herbs and trees as they teach me and give me so many gifts of life… I am awakening to the wonder that everyday is Earth day and that I am at one with nature even as the little plants in the next room are wondering if I will plant them today…
Good one! I love the quote! So very true. Problem is we often don’t know the consequence until we have made our choice. I suppose that’s called learning! Thank you Mary.
