Hundreds of times a day, epiphanies arise and I am open to them,
whether in the garden or walking the dogs, and I would call these moments
information leaks from the Universe, as if the sky had tiny holes and bits
of drift were floating down like dandelion fluff or the cottonwood tree's cotton,
settling onto my head, barely noticeable, and yet there is a presence,
a ripple in the cosmic flow, L'Engle's wrinkle in time;
Some call it Guidance, only it takes attuning to silence in a comfortable way before one can apprehend the messages, and it has taken most of my life
abiding in that zone to prefer it over any sort of media-saturated lifestyle or din; nature speaks, but not in words, animals communicate, but not in our language, trees and breezes have stories to tell, though busy minds would discount all the nuances necessary to comprehend, and much is missed until, as a collective, we have fallen fast asleep to our finer senses and now, as wildfires dot the entire US mainland and the thermometer soars well into the hundreds while ocean temperatures rise and earthquakes rattle in our skulls we wonder, nursing our worst fears, how will we survive the coming global changes, and will they affect us or those we love?
And so I think today's insights need attending to, we are all galactic receivers, each with our own frequency bands, and these bits of fluff just might solve dilemmas of our own or those of another, and sharing them, silly at first though they might seem, could prove key to unlocking heretofore unthought-of solutions, plastic-eating fungi to clean up our oceans or corn-based take-out plates and flatware to lessen plastic in landfills and like bolts thrown out of the blue, solutions begin to obviate, groups of like-minded souls begin to gather, and the world begins to glimpse the aloha every Hawaiian knows to their bones as new strings are tuned, a new symphony played, while we sing the songs of Creation, inclusive and embracing, honoring others' epiphanies and dreams, as together we envision a new and sustainable future.

Dear Bela, I know that you are right about this and I want to believe that there is a decent future for humanity, but here in Europe the war that is on our doorstep continues to grow slowly and ever more dangerous! 🙏
Yes, Ashley. It is almost predictable that the brighter the light gets (the more conscious and awake people become), the dark struggles all the more for control and domination. It surely is something that is unsurprising, given the history of humanity.
For whatever reason, a stanza from a Rumi poem leaps to mind, “The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep.” I think this speaks to the need for us to continue to tune into subtle cues when we have been conditioned to being pummeled over the head by the powers that be, trying to keep us in line by inciting fear and violence. We do collectively have a choice, even and maybe especially when it appears we do not! The future of humanity is very much in our own hands, despite appearances. So we mustn’t give up! The Aquarian age is upon us. That alone is reason for hope. Its big message is returning power to the people.
Planets are aligning, and things are shifting. There is historical precedence: last time this particular configuration happened, the French stormed the Bastille and ousted the monarchy. Please don’t give up hope! We need all of us focused on positive outcomes. It’s always darkest before the dawn. Sending you blessings! 💜
Your words are reassuring. And today, the war in Europe has taken a new turn! We shall have to wait to know more!
On a different tack, I am always intrigued by ancestry and watch a tv series here called “Who do you think you are?” Last night the dancer Kevin Clifton found out that his great x5 (or x6) grandmother was a Native American. Her story was powerful but his reaction as a young white male was amazing! For too long women have been side lined and it was a breath of fresh air to hear him say so, out loud on British tv! It’s a subject close to my heart and I think it comes from my mother!
I once traced my father’s line back to the 1600s. It’s about time I paid the same tribute to my mother!
Bela, thank you. 🤗🌹🙋♂️
Wow! Yes, ancestry is fascinating! Thank you for recognizing the valuable roles women play. We are, after all, the mothers of every human being, one way or another! It’s a big reason why primitive men conducted rituals such as circumcision or ritual genital mutilation (ugh and ouch!), so men could bleed like the women who so mysteriously gave birth! I actually learned this in college, so there are texts to support it.
Of course certain Native women traveled the world with such figures as Buffalo Bill Cody, who paraded them for European audiences to see in his Wild West Show. It would then be entirely plausible that some of those women had sex with men over there, and your Clifton figure would have ended up with a Native woman in their ancestry. Interesting!
With DNA, it’s matrilineal only through female family members. Men get the patrilineal line. I mean pre-parents, we do get some of both in the mix, but best to do both you and a female family member if you can. If you haven’t already done your DNA, 53 and Me is by far the cleanest – Ancestry.com are Mormons, who, having been raised that way and having left that organization at 14, I can tell you have ulterior motives to beef up their own genealogy systems (and did you know, they actually baptize for the dead without family consent?). Anyhow, cheers, Ashley, and good luck! Be well! xob
I love this Bela. Thank you for stating it so. 💐🙏🏻💞There is so much we can create and share, when we see past the fear and drama of the media and those with self centered interests to prevent change.
A new symphony ready and waiting to be played out.
Absolutely, Val! I would love it if everyone understood what we do. Fear can only win if we feed that wolf.

Sending you love ! 💕
Love that legend 💐. Beautiful reminder. Thank you Bela 🙏🏻
Sure! I love the story as well 😉
We definitely need to listen more. In every way. (K)
Agreed! As you clearly do, judging from your art. 😍
