Standing Where You Are

DO WHAT YOU CAN
WITH WHAT YOU HAVE
WHERE YOU ARE.

~ Theodore Roosevelt

Of Note: Taking a stand has many connotations. Spiritually it can mean standing at the center without deviation, a steadfastness of mind as it were. An outcome of this would be a calm, centered attitude toward whatever comes our way. Even though this might not seem possible at the moment, such unwavering standing is part of our evolutionary future. Starting to picture such a possibility will one day aid in producing the projected outcome because energy inevitably follows thought.

Today's Weather Report: My Mom assured me tonight that lakes overcome by drought eventually refill. It does not seem possible at the moment that our lake will ever recover, but I will take her word for it. The rain today may inch us closer to that eventuality. Like I have said many time before, bring it on. Last night our two resident deer came very close to the house to munch on some of the last green vegetation in the garden. At this point it does not matter because the green will be done shortly anyway. In the spring, I would have been out there shooing them off but now they can eat what they want to fatten up for the long winter ahead. I noticed that the baby no longer has spots so it can no longer officially be called a bambi.

DARKEST BEFORE THE DAWN

No one would argue that we are in a time of change. Most would also agree that this is a time of drastic, maybe even a time of accelerating change. Some would say "Yeah, but it is certainly not in the right direction." This group might call themselves realists; some might say pessimists.

While others, probably a minority, would say, "Hum, you know, it's always darkest before the dawn. But, the light is already starting to shine through in a place or two." This latter group, too, might call themselves realists; some might say optimists. Others might just call them dreamers, idealists or worse, just plain stupid.

The challenge on this blog is to watch for change that tracks the second premise. Given time, I feel certain that we will see a story unfold in the next decade that may be startling in its simplicity--even though the happenings of the times might look otherwise.

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of Light
within the Mind of God,
Let Light stream forth into the minds of men,
Let Light descend on earth.

From the Point of Love
within the Heart of God,
Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men,
May Christ return to earth.

From the center where
the Will of God is known,
Let purpose guide the little wills of men,
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the center which
we call the race of men,
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out,
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light, Love and Power
restore the Plan on earth.

This prayer was given to us in 1945 as a promise that the Age of Peace is coming but the timing is up to Humanity. Millions say it daily. You can join this invocative appeal and, what's more, it's free. Check out http://www.lucistrust.org/ or www.thegreatinvocation.blogspot.com for more information.
