Connectedness

Good day Beloved,

The other day I was asked to ponder the connectedness of humanity and nature. How the phases of the moon affect us. How the changing of the seasons change how people feel. I am sure you have heard of SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder. The grayer the season the grayer our moods and emotions.

I know some people brush off this kind of reasoning as an old wife’s tales and a bunch of nonsense. Think what you may, I share my experiences, observations, and thoughts.

I worked for a while in a long-term care facility. I was given the great honor of being with people as they left this life for whatever was next for them. I knew what my time was going be spent doing by paying attention to the phase of the moon. People crossed over more often around full moons and more often in groups of three. I spent time working with those dealing with various degrees of mental instability and illness. More stuff happened in connection to the full moon than any other time of the lunar cycle.

Ask anyone who has spent time working in an Emergency Department of a hospital and if they are honest they will tell you stories collaborating the same thinking as I have laid out thus far. My spouse used to visibly change when she spent time around bodies of water. Peace and relaxation washed over her like the waves. My critters tell me when a storm is rolling in before I am aware of it. They are very in tune with the vibes of the earth and its atmosphere.

I don’t have an explanation as to why things are the way they are. I do have a theory though. I think the way some folks are connected is a throwback to the ways things were in the beginning of time and shall be again when time is no more.

We are created in His image, and we are charged with taking care of this little planet and all life on it. I am of the opinion that some of us can still experience the nature that surrounds us as it was meant to be to varying degrees.

Communication is essential to any good relationship. The best marriages are those where the partners are willing and able talk openly with each other about everything. Nothing is too small or too big to talk about. The best relationships between human and animal are those where the human has learned how to listen to the animal. My momma used to talk to and touch her plants nearly every day, she could get anything to grow. She had a connection.

I believe that all life regardless of the form it takes is meant to be ebbing and flowing together. Like dancers, working out the steps and the moves to create something beautiful.

Beloved, do you have a connection? I hope you do. Only when all life works together in the depths of connectedness can life really work as it was meant to.

Connectedness is sacred and scary and beautiful.

Beloved, be strong and be willing to be connected.

Beloved, have a lovely,,,
