            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Surprise revelations from a simple fitness walk!</em></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*rALzWBS0Ix_Hiw9RULIvoQ.png" /><figcaption>Evergreens-Love ya!

A time to breathe with intention and just inhale the beauty of the day!</p><p>Yesterday was just such a day!</p><p>I went out in the afternoon on my usual walk around my neighborhood intending just to get my steps in and a little fresh air!</p><p>The same terrain I do everyday, but something was different today.</p><p>I usually listen to my own musical playlist (songs that I have written) and now there are enough of them to fill my approximately 24 minutes. How cool is that?</p><p>I’d passed this house hundreds of times before and not paid a bit of attention to it, but today that was not the usual scenario.</p><p>Perhaps it was the way the sunlight slanted across the lawn and seemed to highlight its captivating greenness. Not really sure!</p><p>Upon that sumptuous color lay crisp, darkly colored fallen leaves. For some reason the contrast grabbed my attention.</p><p>I thought wow! what a great metaphor for human life- The young and vibrant grass and the dead and spent leaves so closely aligned seemed to -create a beautiful framing of our human condition.</p><p>I thought how amazing life is, when we pay attention and are aware!</p><h3>Hold on now! There is more to this story.</h3><p>Then I observed, further, that on that same lawn there was a ring of Ivy surrounding a tall oak tree.</p><p>Hmm! Ivy doesn’t die.</p><p>It continues, although, not exactly at the peak of its glory.</p><p>So maybe there is some alignment with our human story here as well!</p><h3>Then there are the evergreens!</h3><p>Beautiful evergreens that are very hardy and never die off. They are resilient and sturdy and can out live and outlast most other plants quite handily.</p><p>In the plant world there is so much diversity and it is evolving just as we humans are.</p><p>Perhaps some of us are similar to the evergreens!</p><p>Or perhaps you might be a perennial- coming back year after year, after a period of dormancy.</p><p>Some of us may be superstars that burst on the scene like cherry blossoms, but sadly, disappear quickly-like shooting stars.</p><p>Wouldn’t you like to be a giant red wood tree-roots reaching deep in the earth and branches as high as the sky simultaneously.</p><p>Even the unheralded weeds have a resilient nature worthy of envy, usually to the chagrin of the avid gardener.</p><h4>I like to think that many of us are Evergreens. Full of life-forever providing beauty and resilience against even the greatest odds.</h4><h3>So as to my original question- I think personally, I would prefer to be an evergreen-full of life, rather that a “nevergreen” living daily-surviving-yes -but not really LIVING.</h3><h3>My Itzhak Bentov readings say that “as above, so below” life on all levels follows the same patterns. From atoms to universe to cosmos to humans -the same patterns exist.</h3><p>Since I am sensitized to this type of thinking now, I do see patterns that I had never noticed before.</p><p>Wow! that was a lot to get out of a simple walk around the neighborhood!</p><h3>It will soon be cold enough for my Nordic Walking-who knows where that might take me.</h3><h3>Norway or Switzerland, maybe- or perhaps- I’ll just manage to double my cardio.</h3><h3>Life’s an adventure, so I’ll keep you posted!</h3><p>PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOU TUBE CHANNEL!

I think there is a connectedness between the two.</p><p>We must, of course, seek freedom!

(maybe the puller-just a suggestion)</p><p>I’m not usually possessive about my things but I purchased this jacket when I was on vacation at Asilomar, which is a known spiritual center in California. (frequented by Wayne Dyer and other spiritual masters).</p><p>Although the jacket was not expensive it had sentimental value to me.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/480/1*ZvnWd2p-LdoUPDXRw4E54g.jpeg" /><figcaption>My jacket all zipped up! author’s photo</figcaption></figure><p>My husband said “I’ll take it to a nearby tailor shop and have it repaired”.</p><p>The repair most likely would be more than the price of the jacket, so I thought, “let me just think about it”.</p><p>A couple of days later I agreed to get it fixed (begrudgingly).</p><p>Fast forward to this morning (and after a beautiful meditation) I was called by my husband to see if I wanted anything from the supermarket as well.</p><p>I came downstairs to check and after taking stock,I gave him a small list.</p><p>I approached the chair where my jacket lay and proceeded to hand it to him to take for repair.</p><p>I was astonished when I picked it up to see the missing zipper pull lodged at the TOP of the zipper.</p><p>So I didn’t need to have it repaired at all!</p><p>Henry and I just looked at each other and burst out laughing.</p><p>All this fuss and I didn’t need to do anything at all.</p><h3>This was so “in the nick of time” I felt it had to be some kind of “Universe synchronicity Joke”.</h3><h3>Just a little post script- Hubby just returned from tailor’s just now, where he went to get something of his repaired and the shop is closed today!

Canva AI generated</figcaption></figure><p>I like to think of myself of as a genuinely kind person. I consider it my mission in life to be of service.</p><p>I have noted in my work on You Tube that the most popular videos are often the ones with people complaining about something and others agreeing that life is like that and bonding over miserable circumstances.</p><p>Not a member of Medium? <a href="https://medium.com/@lilylady126/11c5db4d2327?source=friends_link&amp;sk=96d23ebce4eacba34c67711d427a5333">READ FOR FREE HERE</a></p><p>“Misery loves company” is the phrase that comes to mind as most applicable. People love to complain and love to find someone else that shares that mind set.</p><p>I’ve found that for the most part, people don’t want advice or inspiration.</p><p>What many people really want is to continue in the same pattern of existence that is making them miserable.</p><h3>Why is that?</h3><h3>Because change is really hard and most people really don’t want to change. It’s easier to stay the same and complain.</h3><p>If you want to validate the truth of this just look at yourselves and try changing your daily habits. Been there done that!</p><p>I think that we normally try any excuse in the book to avoid cracking that neatly cemented territory.</p><p>Good habits ? Well if those habits make you happy, healthier or more fulfilled they may well be keepers.</p><p>Bad habits? Well no matter how difficult-they need to go!</p><p>They perpetuate misery, unhealthy life styles and continuous struggle!</p><p>I had a family member, who complained constantly about people and her childhood and life in general and that left her in a state of continual unhappiness.</p><p>When I suggested ways to fix those things and become a happier person she always had one reply- “I’ve always been this way!”</p><p>Being an unhappy person was not nearly as unbearable as taking steps to change her situation.</p><p>To her dying day she remained unchanged and unhappy!</p><p>The “unhappy person” had become her <strong>total identity-</strong>this was who she was.</p><h3>It’s difficult to change habits, but almost impossible to change who you are- without total dedication to that task.</h3><p>Sadly, I’ve noted many people who have had horrible circumstances occur in there lives, be it illness or loss, that subsequently become victims a second time by forming an identity- based on those previous circumstances.</p><p>If you are someone in this category, please know that I am very sympathetic to how life has impacted you and may still be, but it is my hope to encourage you to gently let go of this pain and make your true identity a happier, more fulfilled one.</p><p>I’ve personally had some truly horrific situations in my own life -but fortunately, I have managed to move on and not make those circumstances my permanent identity.</p><h3>On the contrary those circumstances forged a much better human being as a result.</h3><p>PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOU TUBE CHANNEL!
