Creativity occurs in the space of possibility

Creativity occurs in the space of possibility. 

When you look for certainty, and make a choice, you close down creativity and possibilities. 

The space of uncertainty is ambiguous, but full of potential.

Love lives in that space in between. 

That's where the magic is. 

But it takes practice time and patience to always live in that space with an open heart. 

It takes trust. 

It takes faith to align with and flow with the universe because the universe works in its own time in its own way. 

One Thing at a Time

Walk slowly,

Talk slowly,

Breathe slowly,

Think clearly.

Everything in its right place,

Within the whole.

Where is my Trust and Faith Today?

I keep feeling where is my trust and faith today? Rather than staying centred I am noticing I am off balance.....on the plus side though, when I stop, slow down and breathe I can feel myself getting back to centre again and feel the bliss inside...still there but a bit buried....I feel like saying “stuff it all” today and going and sitting on a park bench all afternoon (like Eckhart Tolle did in London for 2 years after his spiritual awakening!), but I can’t sadly.

I guess it is just fine to accept the way we feel...why fight it?....just be...whether happy, frustrated, sad, ill! Just Be! And the point is to stay in the World, rather than becoming reclusive, to be able to find the centre within us, however we are feeling ....our true eternal self is always there in the background...staying calm and knowing the wider truth of the universe, even if sometimes we can’t see it.

 

Faith in My Abilities

I have faith in my abilities to receive guidance, support and direction in my life. 

When I ask for guidance, support and direction I receive it - unconditionally. 

I am grateful for the support I receive from my guides. 

I notice the the birds that appear and the white feathers and the leaves that fall at my feet. 

I know that I am on the right path! 

I trust in the rightness of things and I have faith in the future. 

My power is now, in the spacious present. 

For it is in the present that I plant the seeds that will grow into the produce of the future.

Real faith, Real Trust?

Acts 17:28 'For in him we live and move and have our being.' 

 

What is real faith?

 

It is not a blind trust in a distant God, but an active experience of ourselves as the threads wrapped within and forming God's benevolent cloak.

 

It is real creativity; it is real trust!

Be Happy, Be the Change

Take care...be joyful, laugh, be happy - celebrate Your family, your life and Your friends, celebrate the Earth in all her glory, celebrate Your successes, feel the stillness, the peace, the love in Your life and reflect it back into the world around You always! 

You are blessed to be here at this time....You have a job to do - it is to remember who You truly are, to rediscover Your divinity and to reveal Your inner beauty to the Universe! 

Then, as Gandhi said, You can Be the change You wish to see in the World around You!

Best wishes to You all who have ventured, however fleetingly, into this little world of The Seagull Speaks!

In love and light!

On Butterflies and Optimism From Small Things!

....something for the optimists...

"He who is faithful in very little things is faithful also in much" 
Luke 16, 10

Imagine you're a caterpillar in the midst of massive death of your cells, your belly is liquefying, you feel terrible and you know you won't last much longer, then your head goes to mush, but wait....the death throes actually are not death throes at all, they are actually the first manifestations of a transformation...metamorphosis....a butterfly emerges from the case and flies away.... 

 

So, yesterday, I sat on my favourite rock looking out to sea, suddenly, seemingly from nowhere, a tortoiseshell butterfly appeared from the direction of the sea, fluttered around me in several swoops and circles for a bit and then continued on up over the cliff....I felt in my heart this was a blessing...I was at the right place at the right time,

...and, indeed, last weekend, the laurel hedge outside our house was in full flower (itself unusual...climate change?), but the flowers were absolutely covered in swarms of tortoiseshell butterflies.....I had never seen that before and I have lived here 3 years and a neighbour who has lived here for 20 years, said he had never seen that in all that time...I sat quietly and meditated on that ....

Butterflies are symbols of spiritual transformation and awakening of the soul and are indicative perhaps of labour pains prior to the birth of the new Heaven and the New Earth. It became apparent to me that the many butterflies were actually symbols of collective human transformation and that it is indeed happening despite the fact that it is difficult to believe ...

 
The Universe is always giving us messages to encourage our love, our peace and our optimism to unfold.....even though I may be considered a little mad if I go too far in the possibility that the butterflies are sending messages to me!
