If you look through all the different cultures, right from the earliest,
earliest days with the animistic religions, we have sought some kind of
explanation for our life, for our being, that is outside of our humanity. —
Jane Goodall, 1934–
The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there. — L.P.
Hartley, 1895–1972
We expend a great deal of energy working on accumulating enough – enough money, enough connection and intimacy, enough success, enough leisure and play and health. The list is endless. The quest seems to take on a life of its own, and the seeking to have becomes the focus rather than simply enjoying what we have. What we think and believe manifests in our experience, and so seeking reinforces the reality of lack.
I believe that what people feel most lacking in is love. The yearning may be unconscious and the sense of lack can manifest through many different thoughts, but what we really seek is enough love. The part of us that is disconnected from our true selves cannot imagine ourselves worthy of the amount of love that we want and need.
This can cause such conflict in relationships, when we get caught up in expectation about how someone should treat us, then we can feel that we were not loved enough. It can happen in the important relationships in our lives, or with perfect strangers. If I get ticked off at the driver who cuts me off on the freeway, it could be argued that the core belief behind all of it is that the stranger didn’t love me enough to treat me differently.
As with all things, I’ve noticed what a really small shift of awareness it is to move my thoughts from darkness to light, and from a lie to the truth. The ego lives to preserve our identity as individuals, and is in constant battle with anyone or anything that might seem to threaten us. But I can thank my ego for its concern and then pull my energy back from its worry, and say “it is enough.”
The love I have is enough, even when hurrying people act without thinking, or when others don’t put me at the top of their priority list. The connection I have with family and friends is enough, even when we are all busy and moving through life’s demands and challenges as gracefully as we can. The resources of money and time that I have are enough, and have always been enough, to provide me with the security and opportunity that I need to navigate this glorious life.
It brings to mind the words to one of Unity’s prayers:
The inexhaustible resource of spirit
is equal to every demand.
There is no reality in lack.
Abundance is here and now manifest
It’s all in how we choose to see it.
Thank you, God, that I can be worried over a perception that something important is missing, but then affirm that “it is enough,” and I realize that it is so.
May you know "enough" as the essence of who you are, and may this tool be a blessing. . .
Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency.
Nothing is that important. — Natalie Goldberg, 1948–
A client of mine sent this to me today, and I found it to be clearly written
and insightful. May be a good one to bookmark as it goes over the energy of May

Gabriel's Monthly Weather Report of Physical & Emotional Symptoms
by Jennifer Hoffman -The love and the light that is required on your ascension
journey is reflected in your reality in each moment. You cannot love in the
past for that moment is gone. You cannot love in the future because its details
have not yet been created and every aspect of the future depends on what you do
in each present moment. If you want the future to be joyful, fulfilling,

Whether you are 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of
wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what’s next, and the joy of the
game of living. — Samuel Ullman, 1840–1924
The nature of God is a circle of which the centre is everywhere and the
circumference is nowhere. — Anonymous
Here in the northeastern U.S., we are in the midst of a spectacularly
beautiful spring day. The sky is the bluest of blues, and the trees and grass
the greenest of greens. It is a day that makes one forget about the storms,
bitter cold, floods, and blistering heat we have experienced in the preceding
months. It is not a day for remembrance, but rather a day to drink in the
moment, to be fully anchored here and now.
We miss the embrace of this gift from Gaia, if we hold tightly to our
stories of suffering, difficulty, challenge, and heartbreak. If we allow
ourselves to let go our grip, our need to control, our desire to claim our
stories of who we are and how our life has been up until this moment, then we
miss this opportunity to be transformed by the now, and all the
potentials that this moment holds for how our life will unfold. By letting go
of our stories, we allow ourselves to become the creators we truly are, to own
our sovereignty, to be shape shifters and magicians as we create, cocreate, and
recreate life.
As I was out walking earlier today, the lines from this ode to springtime,
from e. e. cummings, came to me:
i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any--lifted from the no
of all nothing--human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the
light and dark which that thing provides. — Junichiro Tanizaki, 1886–1965
