Poor Rabbit! No other animal is so associated with fear than Rabbit—that nervous little bunny who hops and leaps at every little sound. Rabbit has come to you today to ask you to have the courage to face whatever difficulties you’re having instead of running away to a safe burrow. Face your fears, examine your old “fight or flight” patterns, and determine once and for all to stop hiding away.
Your Rune For Today
Jera
Jera denotes positive, recurring cycles, fertility and a time to harvest rewards from your hard work.
Traditionally known as the Hierophant, this card refers to a Master and the learning of practical lessons from the study of Natural Law. This energy of this card points to some agent or resource that can reveal the secrets of life, the cycles of the moon and tides, the links between human beings and the heavens.
Because monasteries were the only places a person could learn to read and write in the middle ages, a Hierophant was one to whom a student would petition for entry. He was the one to set the curriculum for the neophyte’s course of study.
Often pictured with the right hand raised in blessing, the Hierophant is linked with the ancient lineage of Melchezidek, initiator of the Hebrew priestly tradition, the one who passes on the teachings. All shamans of any tradition draw upon this archetype.
An amazing idea inspires us to say what’s on our minds now that the Moon is moving through demonstrative Leo. Although we are feeling courageous, acting too boldly could lead to trouble as the brilliant Sun forms an unruly aspect with rebellious Uranus. It’s wise to think twice before we overreact, but softening our approach isn’t sufficient because there’s still room for misinterpretation. Nevertheless, a bit of common sense goes a long way.
Watch your step today, instead of behaving recklessly. Your good intentions could backfire if you respond so quickly that you do something that offends a coworker or acquaintance. Save your sarcastic repartee and practical jokes for another day when the tensions aren’t so tightly wired. Your rapid-fire reactions have the potential of acting like a lit match on a pile of dried hay. Avoid a difficult situation by taking a deep breath and thinking about the possible consequences before doing anything drastic.
Your friends might be worried that you will lose your temper today, but you have more than enough self-control to maintain your cool. It’s not a good idea to become unhinged because reacting spontaneously isn’t as effective now as sticking to your original plan. Nevertheless, there’s no need to slip into denial about your feelings. Simply add a little time between the flash of awareness and when you actually jump in and do something about it. Look before you leap.
Share your ideas with your colleagues today, but don’t take your disclosures too far. You might be tempted to put everything out on the table and then push for a positive response, but it’s smarter to unveil your new plan slowly. Revealing too much information too fast overwhelms others and may cause them to withhold support. It’s to your advantage to build up interest gradually, even if you must delay the big show until after Thursday’s New Moon. In the meantime, fine tune your presentation for the greatest impact.
You must be very careful on the job today because you might inadvertently stir up resistance to your plans. You’re traveling through some tricky territory and could feel the pressure to relieve your anxiety by setting everything right in one clean swoop. However, overreacting won’t solve anything now. Adopting a positive attitude will ultimately help you accomplish more work than a panicky one; keep calm by breathing through the stress.
It’s challenging to get anything done today because you might enjoy the attention you receive too much. It’s hard to step out of the spotlight now that irrepressible Mars and the responsive Moon are moving through your dramatic sign. Others can’t help but notice when you swing into motion. Remember, it really doesn’t matter if you are seen or not, so don’t purposefully seek recognition if you really want to finish all your work. Make the most of your current influence to shine your light on something that really matters.
Your analytical approach works well for you these days with the Sun and Mercury visiting your intelligent sign. However, a stressful aspect to unpredictable Uranus generates mental static now, making it impossible to think clearly. Unfortunately, you might not be able to delay an important decision today; just make sure that you separate your personal preferences from the facts so you can remain as objective as possible. Trust your innate ability to cut through the noise and solve the problem at hand.
You don’t always enjoy being the one that everyone relies on to arbitrate a dispute. In fact, you might want to relinquish some of your relationship responsibilities today if you don’t feel up to the job. However, it may take a while for your wish to be granted. Even if you are frustrated and tempted to walk away from something important now, don’t do it yet. Let the dynamics unfold naturally because a surprising change of circumstances later in the day could dramatically shift your thinking in an exciting new direction.
Talking about your feelings today might not bring the exact results you seek. People may be open to hearing your story, but that doesn’t mean they will agree with your conclusions or join in your cause. It’s probably not the most opportune time to gather support for your plan because you don’t know how others will react. Let go of your personal agenda for now and return to it after Thursday’s New Moon when your chances of success improve. In the meantime, continue developing your best ideas because one of them could lead to a significant breakthrough.
Anticipation about a new project may drive you to the edge of a cliff today, but there’s little chance of slipping and falling as long as you watch the ground directly in front of you. However, your excitement might be sufficient to distract you, and danger could sneak in if the adrenaline rush is too strong. Don’t become so enamored with the potential adventure that your judgment becomes sloppy. You won’t likely make any tactical errors if you pay careful attention to every step you take.
Your relationships may seem quite intense today, requiring you to become more emotionally involved than you prefer. You don’t want someone else’s needs to get in the way of your plans now, yet it’s complicated to extricate yourself from the melodrama that appears at your doorstep. Consider if your intended retreat is based on practical matters or if you simply want to avoid your own discomfort with the situation. Don’t withdraw from intimacy because you are scared; show your courage by facing your fears instead.
If you’re feeling a bit off center today, you might respond inappropriately to a friend or partner unless you take the time to think first. The Sun zaps your key planet Uranus, overloading you with so many ingenious ideas that they may not be of any use in the real world. Nevertheless, brilliant thoughts can open your mind to new horizons. Your smartest strategy is to sit with your altered perspective for a bit instead of reacting so quickly that you turn your world upside down. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
You’re acutely tuned into your psychic powers now and may even believe that you know exactly what to do at every unexpected twist in the road. Overall, your instincts should serve you well today. However, you could miss an important fact if you become overconfident, only to discover later that you’re heading down a dead-end street. Fortunately, it’s simple to restore balance by adding a bit of common sense to your intuitive approach. However, it never hurts to bring a map along just in case.
The dark-of-the-moon or Balsamic Phase of the Sun-Moon energy-field starts coming into play today and tomorrow as the next New Moon occurs on Thursday morning. When the Moon enters its extreme waning phase, physical vitality can decrease and there is a collective vibration that tunes people into completing ventures and enterprises that started around four weeks ago. Even though confusing, chaotic vibrations were more of the rule rather than the exception last night — due to Mars moving 150-degrees to Neptune — there is some improvement across the board this morning as the Moon in Leo approaches a supportive, 60-degree liaison with Venus in Libra (10:53AM). During the few hours just before this alignment becomes precise, you can soar like an eagle in the fine and graphic arts, on the social horizon or in romance. However, once the Moon and Venus consecrate their 60-degree connection at 10:53AM, the Moon enters a void twilight zone that lasts for 16+ hours until 3:45AM tomorrow. Despite the presence of the void Moon and the unsettled conditions that often result, the annual Sun-Chiron polarity takes place from Virgo to Pisces (12:15PM). Learn more about advances on the holistic healing and alternative medical fronts. Read up on the esoteric foundations of ancient civilizations and cultures the modern world has conveniently forgotten. Don’t be surprised if hidden feelings about childhood wounds and pains rise to surface. Deja vu experiences and mental telepathy are often on the upswing when the solar orb illuminates Chiron. Gear up for shocks to the system, surprises or unusual events coming out of left field as the Sun forms an off-kilter, 150-degree tie with radical-change agent Uranus (5:29PM). Stability and peace of mind can disappear when this type of celestial aspect is dominant. Watch out for waves of anxiety that may try to drown you in a fit of nervous tension. Focus attention on strengthening sisterhood ties as the Moon makes its monthly union with Vesta (10:26PM). Read more about economic markets and investment strategies. Note to readers: All times are calculated for Pacific Daylight Time. Be sure to adjust all times according to your own local time so the alignments noted above will be exact for your location.
3 Coll/Metageitnion
Panathenaea Day 1: Athena’s Day
Colors: White and blue
Element: Air
Altar: Upon cloth of white and blue set a great statue of Athena, a spear, a pen, a spindle, a shield with a Gorgon’s head, and a brazier with charcoal that must never be allowed to go out until the Panathenaea is done.
Offerings: A new peplos for Her statue, which has been embroidered by the entire community, and is draped around Her statue after the invocation. The old peplos is given away to some other Pagan group in the community as a gift. Also wine, olives, beef, barley cakes, honeycombs.
Daily Meal: Greek food, including beef, olives, and wine.
(First, all walk in a procession around the property. Four carry the new peplos, four carry the baskets of wine and olives, four carry plates of honey and cakes, and the rest play musical instruments or carry oak or olive branches. The procession stops before the door and all call out: “Hail Athena Polias!” Then it winds inward into the sanctuary, at which point all cry out “Hail Athena Parthenos!” The offerings are placed before Athena’s altar.)
Athena Invocation:
I begin to sing of Pallas Athena,
The dread Protectress of the city,
Who with Ares looks after matters of war,
The plundering of cities, the battle-cry and the fray.
It is She who protects the people,
Wherever they might come or go.
Lady of the olive tree,
Lady of the shield and spear,
Lady of wisdom and strategy,
Cool head which advises the hot ones,
Mentor to princes and heroes,
Gracious grey-eyed daughter of Zeus,
You teach us all due thoughtfulness!
Hail, Goddess, and give us good spirits
And your blessed favor!
(The peplos is draped around her statue. The best of the food and wine is given as libation for her, and then the rest is taken to the dining room to be feasted on.)
3 Halegmonath
Day of Mimir’s Well
Colors: Midnight blue and white
Element: Water
Altar: Upon cloth of midnight blue set three white candles, a bowl of stones and well water, a silver cup of mead, and the figure of a human skull set upon a long tail of spun white hair.
Offerings: Secret offerings, unspoken.
Daily Meal: Soup, in a stone bowl.
Invocation to Mimir’s Well
We stand before the sacred well of dark wisdom
And we ask the Presence deep within
What he would give us, if we desire.
(All call out: “Hail Mimir, Keeper of the Well of the Ancestors!”)
Would you sacrifice an eye for this wisdom,
Forever seeing only from the focus of the archer?
Would you sacrifice both eyes, and live in darkness
In exchange for the light of knowing what will be?
Would you give up your ears, and hear nothing
But the music of the heavenly cycles?
(All call out: “Hail Mimir, Keeper of the Well of the Ancestors!”)
Would you give up your legs, and never walk
That you might follow in a path of silent knowledge?
Would you give up the work of your hands
That you might work only with what lies behind your eyes
And what lies behind the eyes of the universe?
Would you give up your life itself
And live only to be a channel for this truth?
(All call out: “Hail Mimir, Keeper of the Well of the Ancestors!”)
What would you give for knowing the day
Of your death, and that of everyone else’s?
What would you give for the knowledge
That might stop one death, one day of pain, one night of fear?
Hail Mimir, you who see into the heart and mind
From the blind darkness of your depths,
And who giveth nothing without its worthy price.
(All call out: “Hail Mimir, Keeper of the Well of the Ancestors!”)
Chant: We Go Into the well of Silence
(Each comes forth and stares into the bowl of stones and water, and then steps away. The mead is poured into the libation well as an offering to Mimir.)
This is a time to rest, reevaluate and reflect, pulling back into yourself to reconnect with inner sources of strength. Now is not a time to initiate anything new. It’s a phase suited to spending time with friends and getting in touch with the “big picture.” A window of opportunity exists for seeing your life objectively and becoming aware of what is important to you. At this point, what are your dreams and aspirations? What larger goals can you aspire to that will bring vitality and excitement into your life? This is a time for resting and gaining inner strength to prepare for a new cycle.
I was going to do a “Let’s Talk Witch” section about familiars. But I am fairly certain each of us has our own familiar and do not need a topic about them.
With the war drums that are starting to beat very loudly from Washington, I think we all need to a ritual for peace.
I know we must have done something right. The Head of Russia Putin now wants to send over a delegation to address our Congress. Certain news anchors have said this is only for show. He wants to act like he is the better person for doing this. I don’t believe it. I think Putin is very sincere in this gesture. I believe he has the common sense to know how quickly this could escalate out of control and the two super powers end up in a nuclear war. A war that no one wins. I live about 5 to 10 miles away from one of the first strike targets. Comforting, I know.
I asked you yesterday to pray or petition the Divine Being you believe in. I strongly believe our prays and petitions were carried to Putin’s ear. Because what he suggested is more than anyone could have anticipated. Now it is time to direct all of our power and conviction to our own government.
I believe the perfect Peace Goddess is “Irene.” In case you are unfamiliar with her. Her is a little about her…..
“Eirene, or Irene (Greek for “peace”; the Roman equivalent was Pax), one of the Horae, was the personification of peace, and was depicted In art as a beautiful young woman carrying a cornucopia, sceptre and a torch or rhyton. She is said sometimes to be the daughter of Zeus and Themis.”
The goddess carries a child with her left arm – Ploutos, the god of plenty and son of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture. Irene is missing her right hand once held a sceptre. She gazes maternally at Ploutos, who is looking back at her trustingly. The image depicted is an allegory for Plenty (Ploutos) prospering under the protection of Peace (Eirene); it constituted a public appeal to good sense.“
I think I strongly connect with Irene is because She stand for prosperity in Peace. Which I believe. No one prospers in war especially these day. There is too much at stake. I personally don’t know what has happened to Obama. He has got to the point were he actually scares me. I can say this because I voted for him but if I knew all this was coming, I wouldn’t have. If we don’t take our Goddess given talents and use them for the good of mankind this time, then shame on us. Obama would as soon as drink a glass of water as push a nuclear button.
Are you ready to meet your obligation to mankind once again. If so, let us petition the Goddess Irene for Peace (You can use another Goddess if you like). Below you will find a Peace Ritual. When we join our voices as one, we become a very strong force that can achieve any goal we set our minds too.
The Ritual
Design this ritual to suit your needs. Choose candle colors that represent the
things you seek peace for (e.g. maybe green and brown for peace on earth).
From out of the dark and into the light
A circular mark, a candle burns bright.
I look towards the sky, my song I do sing
Spirits soar high and gifts do I bring.
I offer my all, my mind I then clear
Harken my call, I fell you are near.
Candle burns higher, my spirits set free
Hotter than fire, the magick will be.
Let magick come ’round, from under the ground
To form with my sound and then to be bound.
Around me I feel the magick so real
Before you I knees, the spell I now seal.
Let all hatred CEASE
And let there be PEACE.
These words that I say
With magick AWAY!
This spell that I send
Is now at an end.
Let the magick I’ve laid
Go forth and not fade.
So Mote It Be!
Please join me in this ritual to bring peace to our country and eventually the world.
Blessed Be,
Lady A

Labor Day is a perfect time to share some positive and powerful job Shui. This tradition maintains that you should never let your files be ‘stepped’ on or put on the floor. According to these ancient rules of order, ‘stepping’ on your files creates a negative energy that will then adversely affect your job ‘luck.’ Important files should be kept in order and positioned to the left of the desk so that your labor will reflect your purpose and your passion.

Eagle soars high enough to see the grand panorama of life, and yet has vision keen enough to spot a fish a mile away. How’s your vision? Are you seeing the big picture or are you only concentrating on the fish? Eagle is asking you to take a step back so you can once again see the whole. You’ve gotten so lost in the trees you’ve forgotten the forest.
Your Rune For Today
Hagalaz
Hagalaz is the hail Rune. It denotes chaos, destruction and disruption on a primal level. You may experience delays in moving toward your goals.
In the most practical terms, what has traditionally been called the Emperor card represents the highest leadership, a head of state or the most exemplary and powerful person in the realm. This archetypal ruler is responsible for the positive working out of affairs of a society or community, which are directly proportional to his well being and happiness.
The more enlightenment and cosmic perspective this energy brings, the better life is for all. The Emperor archetype masters the world of matter and physical manifestation. When you apply this card to your situation, acknowledge your potentials for mastery. Reinforce a sense of sovereignty within yourself, despite any self-limiting beliefs, habits or appearances to the contrary.
We are motivated to express our feelings in a bold and beautiful way today, yet an early morning Mars-Neptune aspect may have us floating aimlessly in space for a while. Meanwhile, the theatrical Leo Moon encourages drama. A combative Mercury-Mars alignment could turn things aggressive as buried tensions rise to the surface, setting the stage for the possibility of conflict. Expecting the unexpected is a smart idea, but isn’t always easy to do.
You are enthusiastic about your future prospects, yet as soon as you make your move, the energy begins to disperse. The problem is that you must figure out where you want to go before your new path is revealed. Nevertheless, this doesn’t lessen the likelihood of a significant shift. Something’s going to change; you just need to decide what. Adopting a proactive approach enables you to be in charge of the direction you take.
You may have to respond to an unexpected twist of fate, testing your confidence. But this unscheduled hiccup isn’t necessarily negative, for you can turn an upsetting situation into one that is quite enjoyable. Still, you probably won’t know where the day will take you, even if you have a well-developed plan in place. Don’t worry if things fall apart; they will reorganize into something better in the next few days. Embrace the chaos as a vehicle for creating positive change.
Your concern over losing independence is triggered now that new responsibilities are weighing heavily on you. Unfortunately, you are probably more scattered than usual, so find somewhere to sit alone in a quiet place to reclaim your center. This little exercise to eliminate some of the extraneous noise in your life can turn your day around. Thankfully, you may be pleasantly surprised how easy it is once you remove the unnecessary distractions.
Facing an unusual set of circumstances is not your idea of a fun-filled day. Others, it seems, are not playing the current game according to your rules. Although confusion might not seem like a source of happiness, an unplanned detour could bring additional freedom that enables you to respond in new ways. Trusting your intuition can help you stabilize the imbalanced situation and save the day.
A bit of confusion now isn’t as worrisome as it seems at first. You are on a creative roll, so keep your eyes wide open so you can recognize the truth when you see it. It doesn’t matter whether or not information is coming from totally unexpected quarters. You are being shown an extreme solution to a problem that doesn’t have a normal way out. Take a leap of faith and fly.
Your dilemma is that logic and practicality won’t fix anything now, which doesn’t make you happy one bit. After all, you are itching for a dramatic transformation. Tread carefully because there is irrepressible movement stimulating tension within a relationship. If you attempt to withhold your energy, it could be awkwardly expressed by someone else. It’s better, of course, when change originates from your heart.
You are considered to be a champion of harmony and grace, but you might not feel so accommodating today. Expect sudden shifts of energy, even if you have trouble putting your finger on the source. If someone suggests an idea that you can’t immediately wrap your mind around, don’t judge it too quickly. Let the thought unfold completely before you dismiss it as crazy. It’s crucial to remain open to radical change and a new perspective offers you a chance to build something real and lasting.
Your friends might seem rather rigid in their thinking today, possibly pushing you to lose your temper and yell loudly as you try to wake them up to the truth. Even if you are thinking about the sacrifices you made and the freedom you gave up, don’t try to force others to see things your way. Concentrate on the dynamics of what’s happening and don’t focus on any one particular outcome. Keeping your options open helps others to do the same.
You may be chasing a rainbow today, only to see it reappear over the next hill again and again. You have grown weary of the disappointments and frustrations and are reaching another fork in the road. You want to make something happen right away and you’re eager to go where you’ve never gone. Change is in the air; initiating bold action greatly improves your chances of finding the pot of gold.
Escaping the stress is nearly impossible if you insist on your world being neat and tidy with everything under control. However, seeking the safety of stable structures isn’t an option today. Whatever you have relied on in the past is now shifting. Fortunately, once you move beyond your fear of the unknown, you may find your journey quite exhilarating. Free your mind and enjoy the ride.
Your life feels unsettled today, yet something may happen that helps to facilitate the changes you want. A close friend or partner might demand your assistance, even if you can’t deliver what’s needed. Instead of stressing about an impossible situation, explain your limited availability as objectively as you can. Although you could have to manage someone else’s disappointment, a compassionate approach should smooth over any ruffled feathers along the way.
You are usually willing to go along with the changing tides, even if permanent shifts don’t always come easily to you. However, you have a wonderful opportunity now to alter your direction if you can remain adaptable to the current situation. You inspire others with your faith, especially if you aren’t afraid of taking radical action at the right time. Remember, it’s the dramatic gestures that will have the most impact today.
The week starts out playful, thanks to the Moon passing through your 5th house of Romance and Pleasure on Monday and Tuesday. As the Moon creates a gorgeous link to Venus — now in your 7th House of Partnership — you’ll notice how much you enjoy being in the company of your loved one. Nothing special needs to happen; you’ll find joy in each other’s presence. A little compliment will go a long way. Isn’t it nice to feel so loved that all you want to do is love back harder?
Romantic prospects will shine! On Thursday, a New Moon lights up your 5th House of True Love. If single, you’ll have gorgeous prospects to meet someone new — someone with the ability to make your heart skip a beat! You’re likely to enjoy listening to this person’s conversational style, and you might even feel like you’ve met your intellectual match. By Saturday the Sun will beam at Jupiter, now in your 3rd House of Communication. Sharing coffee and conversation on a date has never been more fun!
Sharing ideas or a sweet conversation with your lover will be even more fulfilling this week than usual. The Moon will pass through your 3rd House of Communication on Monday and Tuesday, connecting perfectly with love planet Venus. These days will be ideal to have a conversation with someone special about the direction of your relationship, or to simply express how you really feel in this person’s presence. Most likely, he or she has the ability to light up your world. Don’t keep this to yourself.
A New Moon in your 3rd House of Communication this week will set the stage for a vital conversation between you and your sweetheart. This talk will not be lighthearted, but it does have the power to stabilize your relationship and allow each of you to truly understand your obligation to each other. Has there been a test to your commitment recently? This week, you’ll want to talk about it. You’ll clear the air and be in a position to keep any promise you make.
You might start out the week being more self-involved, but you’ll still have an ability to capture someone’s heart, thanks to your ability to wear your heart on your sleeve. What will be most obvious about you on Monday and Tuesday is the fact that “what you see is what you get,” and this can be a breath of fresh air. On Saturday, you’ll feel especially valued by someone you love and you might even decide to arrange a surprise for this person. He or she will be delighted at your effort.
A New Moon in your sign this week is a sure signal to the universe that you’re ready for a personal change. On Thursday, this lunation might open up new doors in the relationship department, as well. You may decide to change up your personal appearance in some way, and if so others are certain to notice and appreciate the new look. You’ll be open about your requirements in relationship, including any deal-breaker qualities. Your honesty will be refreshing … to the right person.
Your social life will kick up to high gear early in the week, and you might want to consider going out with friends after work to maximize this energy. There’s a good chance for you to meet someone while you attend a meeting for any group you’re a member of, or at any social function. There is also promising potential if you’re interested in meeting someone through a dating website or other social media outlet. Your charm will be contagious!
Love isn’t always what it seems, and this Wednesday you might relate to this in a personal way. The Moon will oppose Neptune, now in your 5th House of True Love. This might lend itself to an emotional reaction you can’t be sure you trust. Perhaps someone has true feelings for you, but it’s also possible that he or she is playing you for a fool. Thankfully, Thursday’s New Moon will bring new light to the situation, and if you ask a friend to weigh in, he or she will help you gain the clarity you need.
The week may be quiet in matters of the heart, but by the time the weekend arrives you’ll be buzzing with romantic drama. On Saturday, the Moon will oppose Uranus, now in your 5th House of Romance. Your sweetheart might be “in a mood,” and you’re not likely to have patience for this erratic swing. Thankfully, it’ll be temporary and not an all-consuming drama fest. Still, you may want to spend the weekend apart just to play it safe.
You might reach new horizons with your partner this week. On Saturday, a gorgeous sextile between Jupiter and the Sun will help you open up to an exciting adventure with your mate. The two of you may decide to attend a workshop or spiritual retreat together, or you may plan a thrilling vacation to an exotic location. Even if all you do is sign up for a class to learn a new language, the fact that you’re engaging in a brand new experience together is what matters most.
Intimacy issues? Sure, we all face them at some point, but this week you’ll begin to attack yours in the most pragmatic way possible. A New Moon on Thursday will fall in your 8th House Deep Transformation. This will touch on physical, emotional and spiritual resources you share with someone close. What makes you vulnerable and naked on a soul level? This is the hot button you’ll work on fixing so you’ll be able to feel a greater level of trust and openness in your close relationship. Love doesn’t always have to hurt.
This week’s New Moon in your 7th House of Partnerships could be a solid turning point in love. You and someone close may decide to make a commitment to each other, perhaps by moving in together or even by getting engaged or married. If you’re already hitched, you can expect a lovely new development between you and your mate. On Saturday, when the Sun in your 7th house sends a positive signal to Jupiter, now in your 5th House of Romance, sparks are sure to fly!
Must have had a wreck down on the main road. Our internet has been out for a bit. Now we are resuming regular operations. 🙂
There is a seed of genius in your heart. It is a seed with the potential for bringing about more healing and creating more positive change than you can possibly imagine, and it is unlike any other seed in any other heart. In order to allow this seed to begin to sprout, you must quiet your mind, shut out the noise and illusions of the world, let your heart open and listen to the wisdom deep within. Then, you must water the seed and seedling with patience, open-mindedness and a commitment to following your inner nudges.
If the Beatles had devoted their lives to helping people with leprosy in Calcutta, “All You Need Is Love” would never have worked its magic on the world. Similarly, if Mother Teresa has pursued a music career, countless lives would have suffered from her absence. While these are exceptionally famous examples, one need not be even the tiniest bit famous to set in motion potent waves of positivity and healing. All one needs is to be true to her heart and follow the path of her joy.
Whether we’re called to volunteer, to contribute, to engage in a traditional service-based career, or to engage in any other action that allows us to be a service to the world, being the change we wish to see is necessary ingredient to living passionately, purposefully, and with deep abiding joy.
