Wisdom For Summer
“You will know them by their fruits” -Christ
(Skip to minute 6 to jump to guided meditation.)
Step into the imagery of our lives as represented by a tree.
Feel into the lower half of your body. Imagine your true north and your true South coming into alignment… Roots sinking deep and spreading wide…
Connecting here with your brothers & sisters.
Your powerful roots find their way to water and sustenance. Finally connecting truly, deeply, to mother earth feeling her support embracing us.
Imagine the Electromagnetic field of your feet expanding, send it 5, 7, 15 feet into the earth and out on all sides, and notice how we are all so connected.
You might want to play with awareness of relationships between the others in your grove and how your roots entwine. The synergy of resonance or perhaps dissonance in the roots or branches.
Here we are at the beginning of a new season,
While we love to glory in the stunning beauty of our branches full of blossoms we must allow our petals to fall, nourishing the earth with our fallen blooms.
It is time to devote our energy to developing the fruit that has appeared in the center of each bloom. Nourishing this fruit from within.
Summer is the season of the fruit.
Fruit becomes visible only after the petals of the bloom and have fallen. Giving way to reveal the nourishment to come. Ripening for harvest.
Our branches reach with the promise of fruit.
Notice for a moment the variety of fruit on your branches…
It is fruit that has long been developing. This is the fruit of seeds that you have planted, maybe long ago, or maybe last year, last moon.
Notice without judgment for a moment if the fruit on your branches is the variety that you expected, or that you want to cultivate. We often spend so much time looking to the future and dreaming and visualizing and creating a future state and forget that the fruit (the evidence of our lives) is here in the present moment.
This moment, this gathering, your home, your relationships are the fruit of every prayer & every thought of your life.
Give gratitude and honor the beauty and the nourishment you have cultivated.
Now, with the eye of wisdom take note… Is this the fruit a variety you want to continue to produce? Are your branches strong enough to carry the load?
Are there branches that need Pruning or maybe tying up for support? Does wisdom call you to cull the fruit? Allowing some to drop on the ground to nourish the land movers, the furry things.
Does wisdom’s discerning eye guide you to graft in new variety?
Or to cut away a rotten branch weak from decay… or Overuse… ?
Allow wisdom and discernment to lovingly guide your care.
What is the tool that is most needed right now? Is it The comfort of a layer of mulch? Is it a stake and some twine for support? Is it fertilizer and nutrients that you are missing? Is it a Blade? Or maybe twinkle lights and ribbon? perhaps it’s a combination?
Take a moment now to write down an action or two that wisdom has guided you to.
Breathe into your belly feeling the fullness. The fruit of your tree will nourish your own belly, your tribe, and the tiniest creatures of nature.
Nothing will be wasted.
