The moment you accept what troubles you’ve been given, the door will open.
~Rumi

For those who were hopeful that 12-12-12 and 12-21-12 would bring instant transformation, I think most would say that it hasn’t happened, at least on the surface.  Some could cynically say, see, I knew that nothing would change.  It may even feel like things are getting worse instead of better.

It may be that the injustices, corruption and other problems are becoming more visible.  That can be hard to see and accept-who wouldn’t prefer to see hungry people with plenty eat, peace rather than war and the earth restored to health?

When I become discouraged, and at times I do, I am reminded to see the movement, the awakenings, the gifts in the present circumstances.  I remember that I need to love all of it, even when it’s just plain hard and I’d rather complain.  That includes loving myself, even when I am grouchy or not the cheerful, optimistic person that I want to be.  I find that when I accept what I am feeling, rather than arguing or being self-critical, I move to a better place more quickly and smoothly.

Deep inside, I do feel a new day dawning…most of the time.  I feel shifts, even when the news of the day is depressing and gloomy.  I see changes, despite the ample evidence of resistance to needed change.  As always, it’s our choice about what to focus on and what we can do to be light.  I am grateful to each of you for sharing the journey and being a source of encouragement just by being you.  Thank you!

Blessings, Mary

Beloved ones, dear to my heart of love,

I know that when you want to wake up and see the sunshine, it’s hard to see the clouds covering the sun.  Yet, the sun is there, shining brightly.  Soon the wind comes and moves the clouds so you can see the sun.

That’s the way it is with life.  Clouds of fear, distrust, anger and pain cover the goodness that abides in the hearts of every living creature.  When you look at others, what do you see?  Their goodness or the not-so-good?

At this Turning Time, it is even more important to put your attention on the beauty that lies within all of life.  Your smiles, your joy, your hopeful attitude does so much to lift up others who are burdened with cares and problems.

Remember that each of you is so incredibly important to my Mother heart.  Be gentle with yourselves, giving love and care to your needs.  You are not workhorses, judged by what you do.  You are children of the Most High.  You are co-creators, beloved of the stars and moon.  You are miraculous creations with gifts and beauty beyond measure.  I love you dearly, no matter what you do or what happens.

Again, I will remind you.  Spend quiet time each day, resting against my heart.  When you are worried or distressed, lean on me and my strength.  When you can’t see the path ahead or feel unsafe, know that my vision sees everything.  Believe that all is well, held in Divine love and care.  Breathe the breath of life with me, knowing that I love you tenderly and completely.

Look for the green shoots pushing up between the cracks of the hard cement.  Sense the peace that flows to you from an eternal Source.  See with your heart and not your eyes.  Know that you are loved, indeed you are love, love in abundance.

I love you, dear ones.  I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend
