The Gift

Listen to "The Gift" on Spreaker. July 8, 2021 While meditating this morning these words fell into my cleared heart, “Money isn’t going to fix this situation. The value of love will be what heals the broken.” Each of us, in our own way, have money we’re throwing away. We’ve been challenged to believe that those who receive are released. Basically meaning, we give with hopes of getting back. Look at how much money is burned up trying to win the Power Ball and Mega Millions lottery. I hear it every day, “I’ll take anything. Just let me win something. And when I do I’m gonna share it with you.” I smile knowing how winners really do work and it’s not always in blessed gifts coming back. Sure! You’ll hear of the occasional return but that’s not the way we should be giving. How many people do you know that will accept love over money? And in being there with open arms are you expecting something in return? Something has to refill the soul. Money isn’t going to fix this situation. The value of love will be what heals the broken. Who and what is broken? The receiver or the giver? Can both be patched up? Can the receiver fix the giver and can the giver replenish the receiver? Sadly the receiver keeps wanting to receive. Why should it be fixed if the giver is their fix? The same is true about the giver. It’s extremely easy to want something, anything in return. If that’s your walk then know just being there is enough. That’s the gift! Don’t give to expect a ray of light. Be in the moment. That’s the gift. Grow with it. Build upon it. Be present with your presence. You can’t be available to all people until you set yourself free from having to get something back. Presence wins.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 253

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 253" on Spreaker. July 7, 2021 Peace and protection. Drop the microphone I’m out of here! Peace and protection. On April 3, 2021 I scratched into the surface of the journal the experience of waking up to a 29 degree morning blessed with bright white apple blossom leaves on the aging tree. A collection of leaves and limbs that I predicted wouldn’t make it through another winter. While standing beside the tree I asked myself, “Do I hold enough life to watch another seedling grow into a beautiful tree?” It’s because of this old apple tree that I was inspired in 1997 to plant 1,700 white pine, elm, oak and others across this lay of land. Replenishing the soil that the human chosen to build housing on. The land was starving for a little love. If you could see the amazing amount of life that appears each new morning today. All because of two words. Peace and protection. I not only live it. I activate it. Where is your peace and what are you trying to protect? If it’s yourself I’m all in! Peace and protection. Knowing that the cause will always grow into an effect. I’ve learned a lot from this collection of trees. The messages reach way beyond me. But to attain the strength to protect while still remaining in a place of peace requires mindfulness. The awareness of what is and isn’t present. I truly get it when people admit to me how important it is to remain in their past. I spend a lot of time with dreamers wanting their future to be present today. I get it. I don’t judge it. Peace and protection. Both are bathed in layers of excess and the daily goal is to maintain the perfect mental diet. Identify what requires your peace and protection. Wait! Suddenly it’s no longer about you. You mean, the peace and protection has to be offered to all who come around you? If your outside world is locked in on unrest how do you expect to walk with peace and protection? Plant those seeds and live by the lay of the land. In time you’ll be a blossom providing amazing fruit.

Stream Thinking Bending

Listen to "Stream Thinking Bending" on Spreaker. July 6, 2021 I’m amazed at how plants redesign their shapes in the way of gaining access to light. A plant is constantly reaching. I have trees in my forest that have grown around other trees just for a sip of that universal energy. Vines that climb. A palm that is brought indoors during the winter months because of the cold. I find great enjoyment in watching how it will always lean to locate more sunlight. How does that human play into this? How much bending are we doing during this digital generation? Is it for the better? Not if we’re talking about spelling, math and locating a business on a map. Technology has made us lazy. I remember when we couldn’t use a calculator in school. The teacher wanted us to exercise our minds so that we truly understood how we came up with the answer. I’d love to be a fly on the wall inside a decision maker’s office. To watch them handwrite a thought without the aid of spell check or some grammar app. I’m a daily writer. I have a dictionary with me every morning. I don’t want a future reader to look at this mess of thoughts and think, “The freak couldn’t spell!” How are we bending post Covid 19 versus facing the new variants? One look at how we came together on July 4th says it’s all or nothing straight ahead! Our current jobs and or careers. Multiple businesses are calling their employees back to the office. I know what it’s like working with people who never left. The new age attitude of, “When this doesn’t work out I’ll go get another.” See! That’s bending. Bending without thinking about how other employees are infected by a decision to not come to work. Gonna stay home and play. Cuz that’s what we did in 2020! Did a little bit of work then off we’d go! Not everybody. Let me make that clear. I know this because working from home turned me into even a bigger work-a-holic. I’d stay in the studio until 9 at night. Because it was so readily available. How are we bending? Are you taking notes? Should you be? How lazy are you when it comes to spelling? Challenge yourself off the computer to be a greater you all the way around. Bend with it.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 252

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 252" on Spreaker. July 1, 2021 This forest in south Charlotte, NC. Two days of hardcore rain. It looks like a wet dog that wants to quickly run into my home and roll all over the floor. The creek has risen, the soil extremely loose. How can something so tall such as a tree keep its firm grip on the only area it was given at birth? The human could never do something like this. More than a year into this Covid mess and people are running around like chickens with their heads cut off. By the millions we are convinced life has returned to normal. As a silent wolf. A watcher of human growth and habit. A daily writer that’s very observant of the surroundings. The trees in the forest during two days of rain remind me of the human being. What I’ve not spoken of are the missing leaves. The trees are present. The leaves are not. The human is right here. But something is missing. The valuable gifts or blessings that help bring food to the roots of life. We are leafless. Look around you. Mind and body. Looks normal right? The soul hasn’t shown up yet. The enormous hit we took in March of 2020 and in all things we are doing in this new normal the missing part of the story is the deeper truth. The art of readjusting. The physical presence of gaining personal access to opportunity not to allow others to feed us. States had to create new rules to get people back to work. Once back, the open wound is a lack of ambition or connection to whom is the receiver of the product. This moment in history has earned the name The Great Resignation! Spiritually speaking the leaves on our trees aren’t budding. We aren’t allowing human nature to take our dreams and giving them permission to blossom. Why? Because for 17 months everything was handed to us. When the leaves on a tree sit bare the next step is to cut them down. The new normal isn’t a hand me down or hand out. It’s knowing how you survived a pandemic where the entire planet was forced to shut off. Use that change and challenge as the energy to put leaves back on your limbs. It’s time to start collecting rain to feed your rooting system. Stop letting others support you. Grow forward. Grow outward. Own your now. There’s never been a better time to be seen as well as heard.
