In the Moment

As summer winds down and systems gear up for fall activities and semesters, I am feeling the swirling breeze of change energy.  My mind wants to go through all sorts of machinations about how I can step in and effect change.  I've been here before, and this feels oh, so familiar.  But this time I am being encouraged to effortlessly let the changes happen.  To be prepared for anything, and to flow with the unfolding that comes to me.  I am in the hands of the Universe as I express through my human life.  My mind is best engaged in noticing where my energy flows naturally, and what involvements give me energy back.  I have also found myself deeply participating in the bountiful harvests of summer, and preparing fruits of the earth that will nourish me through the winter.  Whatever changes are coming, I find that my best grounding is in the present moment.  Calming presence is a gift.
"Resting in the present moment gives us a connection to stability and ease--an anchor in turbulent waters."
