everything in this reality is only as solid or fluid as we allow it to be.  we solidify something by giving it attention, energy, thought, or belief.  as we let go of attachment to something, by no longer giving it attention, energy, thought, or belief (conscious or subconscious), we allow for it to change.  it is in this letting go of control that we re-gain our energy & power to focus on creating what we do desire.

it is time to let go of all fears of uncertainty, worries of survival, and needing for things to be a certain way (or how they used to be). as we let go of attachments we step into the present moment, and discover the beauty, peace, and perfection that is already here & now.  in freeing ourselves of fear & control, we realize how light we feel, without the past burdens we had been carrying with us everywhere we went.  with our new found energy, we can collectively meditate, pray, and create a new earth in which everyone lives in peace & perfect harmony with each other & the planet.  in this vision for a new earth, so many (if not all) of our individual struggles will cease to exist.

let us take some time each day to sit quietly and see the new earth we wish to create.  visualize a peaceful world, one where all of humanity lives in perfect harmony with the earth, and where everyone experiences perfect health, divine love, peace, abundance, and joy.

one can learn so much from nature.  take some time from your day to explore in nature and see what you might find.  each day that we spend quietly in nature (or in silence or meditation) is a gift, a healing step forward, for ourselves, for others, and for the planet.  may this be the first of many earth days where humanity really grows more in tune with nature, and begins to live more harmoniously with each other and the planet.

whenever frustration, uncertainty, or any kind of fear (or resistance) arises: stop, breathe, feel, and remember: this too shall pass.

last monday, on the drive furthest north in my #electriccar [2020.03.02] .. some shots i quickly picked out on the phone from the timed interval shots i got, and edited in the #instagram #ios app.. black and white looked much better than color in the bad light (and could really look better if i were to spend more time to edit these on the computer) .. #nature #aerial #fromabove #lookingdown #water #florida #trees #flying #dji #mavic #mini #rc #quadcopter #drone #dronephotography #aerialphotography #blackandwhitephotography #overcast #cloudy #blackandwhite #bw #monochrome #grayscale #greyscale #planet #earth
nature for miles and miles, as far as the eye can see, in all directions. this is what florida used to look like.

all we need to do is go explore in nature to get a better understanding of life and our connection to the world.

as we are grateful in remembering & celebrating all that our human mothers have done for us, let us also remember & honor our planetary mother earth, for without her none of us would be here.

remember, the choice is ours.  each of us individually have the power to choose to buy the reality that is being sold by the media, governments, corporations, etc, or to use that power to create the reality we truly desire to see.  now is the time for us to collectively choose to envision a new earth filled with peace, love, health, and abundance for all.. one where all of humanity lives in harmony with each other and the planet.  with the collective power of our light, we can easily overcome all of the darkness.  do not allow yourself to be programmed by the manipulative tactics of the negative forces that have been in power.  this is their last stand.  their game ends as we collectively come together in meditating, visualizing, and creating a new way of living.  let this be the end of the old story, and the beginning of a very beautiful new volume in the history of the human experience.  step out of your mind and into your heart, and feel the new truth emerging from within.

#meditate #feel #visualize #heart #love #earth #light #sunset #sky #dusk #nature #brilliant #vibrant #colors .. it’s funny that as i typed up most of the message above i was thinking that i didn’t take any photos today (as it was raining and gray all day) and thought i would need to wait until tomorrow to post the writing with a photo.. and then just minutes later i started to notice a little hint of color out the window, and was greeted with some brilliant colors (which i couldn’t capture entirely from where i was) when i decided to go have a look.
rather than feeling stuck or afraid of uncertainty, learn to meditate to quiet your mind, and spend time visualizing and feeling what you want to see unfold in the world.

[and don't be afraid to dream up the most beautiful human experience on earth you can imagine, regardless of whether or not you believe its possible.  remember, all is possible through the eyes of the divine source.  may all of humanity live in peace and harmony with each other and the planet.  and may we all experience well-being, inner peace, abundance, and unconditional love, as we step into a new age, a new earth.]

stop, be still, and feel what is happening within.  surrender, go deep enough, and beneath any struggles you will discover the infinite source of peace, bliss, and love.

we must collectively do what we can to preserve nature and protect the planet. places like this won’t exist if the sea levels rise.

looking up at the sky we are all connected, regardless of where we are. #nature #sky #outdoors #clouds #lookingup #earth
 
#light #sky #colors #glow #radiant #sunset #goldenhour #magical #surreal #dusk #clouds #rain #storm #rainbow #raining #nature #water #pond #lake #beauty #love #earth #dream #peace #vibrant #fountain #trees #brilliant .. this was the best light i’ve seen on a #bikeride in quite a while. my iphone se (original, four year old model) couldn’t quite capture all the beauty nor the surreal feeling & experience of being surrounded by such magical light. i would gladly welcome donations or a gift of the iphone 11 with ultra-wide angle lens so i have more photographic capability in my pocket wherever i go. i may have to start carrying my 360 degree camera with me to capture the beautiful #florida summer skies.

feeling the cool air as i stepped outside, being surrounded by a magical glow of brilliant colors as rain drizzled from the sky and off the wet trees (and moments later seeing a hint of mist or fog near other trees in the distance), and being almost completely by myself with no one else on the path/sidewalk the whole way to the park (and barely any cars driving by), it felt like i was in a dream. its beautiful how nature can so perfectly express itself in the combination of all of these aspects as the storm quickly passed just in time for an amazing golden hour. although its been over a decade since i visited hawaii, the tropical feeling reminded me a bit of being out there exploring a couple of the islands.

do not judge, criticize, or condemn anyone whom might have a different belief than you, regardless of how bad it may seem.  others' views, beliefs, and actions are merely a product of where one is in consciousness, and one can only do as good as they can given their level of consciousness.  if any given level of consciousness appears to not be helpful to others or the world, rather than use your energy blaming those whom don't know any better, direct your focus, attention, and energy towards helping more & more people (including yourself) heal, awaken, and continue to raise the overall level of consciousness. through our collective growth we will transform human consciousness and create a beautiful new earth where we all live as one, in peace & perfect harmony with each other and the planet. (also remember that the reflection they played, regardless of how bad or wrong it was, may have been exactly what you or another needed in order to grow to higher levels of consciousness)

if you’d like to see changes in the world and aren’t able to directly work on them, spend your time quietly in meditation visualizing the beautiful new world you’d like to see unfold. feel how you and others will feel when we are all living peacefully, in perfect harmony with each other and the planet. see and feel how the world will look when everyone has perfect health, abundance, and peace. see this current time as one of transition, where we collectively move away from old ways that no longer serve us, so we may create the space in which we can step into the new age that will unfold before us. the more time we collectively spend in meditation and visualizing the new world, the more quickly and gentler the transition will be.

in silence and stillness, one can discover the source of unconditional, divine love.

#sunset #sky #clouds #nature #love #earth #beauty
remember, the outer world is a reflection of what's happening inside.  the more of us that dive deep within and face and feel the fears or emotions we've been resisting, the sooner we'll see a change of what's being projected onto the movie screen of reality.  if we don't like what's playing, all we need to do is change the channel by shifting how we're feeling internally, in consciousness.

while we still ought to stay somewhat aware of the world around us, the more energy or attention we continue to give any given thing or circumstance we're seeing, the more of it will continue to show up.  instead of feeding something we may not want, take that time to sit quietly, meditate, and deeply feel what's going on within.  fully embrace whatever feelings or emotions may arise, even if they're ones you may not want. [by doing so, you are loving and accepting all aspects yourself (and the world) as they are.  it is only through this unconditional love that we can truly grow.]

by letting go of the resistance and completely surrendering into whatever it is you're feeling, you'll allow yourself to fully experience it within.  upon doing so, you will be free of it, and through its release it will cease projection onto the outer world.  this inner healing work can be quite miraculously, both individually and for the collective consciousness of humanity.  as enough of us continue to awaken and heal, we'll see big miracles and shifts in our life experience here on earth.

the conservation and preservation of nature is one of the most important things we can do today.

a simple shift of perspective is all we need to see the bigger picture. i’ve driven by here countless times and have never seen it quite like this.
