Each breath is a gift, Soul Enjoy, and take all the time you need.
Idk if it’s the Full Moon, the Summer heat, ongoing all-of-the-above we spoke of recently while exploring the power of laughter, but the vibes have felt pretty heavy lately.
As my wife and I did our evening walk of the dog and feeding our stray soon to be next adopted cat friend, we spoke about the vibes we both have been feeling. The consensus was that we were feeling it.

In challenging, low energy, adverse times in general, similar to remembering to laugh, we have to remind ourselves of how everything is temporary. In my most recent chapter of therapy, this point seems to be a theme echoed by my therapist:
The same thing, cannot happen to you twice. Something else, similar, with the same people/place/etc. can happen, but not the same exact experience.
Everything is temporary.
When I think back to earlier teachings of my own Teacher, she would often say:
Jason, my Dear, you can never step into the same part of the stream twice.
The moment, itself, is always in flux and is never the same, no matter how eerily like other moments each moment can be.
Take the ‘same’ walk everyday for a week and realize it’s not actually the ‘same’ walk. It doesn’t matter if you do it at the ‘same’ time each day. The Universe is ever-expanding and so it is with that ‘same’ walk, if you tune in, you’ll find how different each step really is.
Maybe today is cloudy when perhaps yesterday was sunny.
Add to that a breeze or a downpour.
Top with a dash of the magical mix of people walking about with their pets, children, multiple personalities, and yeah, you can just add up all the ways the ‘same’ is really not the case.
Walking has always been a powerful meditative process for me. I’ve joked in the past that my favorite type of hiking it urban hiking. Something about getting out where I live or exploring a new city.
Take a walk! Who knows, you might make a new friend like Leo!
LOL and now in true Gemini fashion, allow me to throw out there that part of the reason why I love wandering about cities is that at the core of the system, there is a rhythm that is very much the same…
But a different type of sameness than the ‘same’ thing that we’ve been talking about that can lead to a feeling of being emotionally constipated stuck. This same feeling, which I’ve been fortunate to encounter in cities, different countries, by the ocean, at rest, while active is very much invisible, quite possibly spiritual. If Breath is Life, it’s The Breath all around.
The Breath of people peopling, cities coupling into countries,
and countries coming together, hugged by the oceans on the island in the stars.
Yes, I do think about these things.
Often.
Very often. So often when I find my back to it, it still surprises me how together things really can be when we take the time to breathe.
Breathe no matter where we find ourselves in the seasons.
To quote The Listener once more here:
You are having an experience, my Dear.
And also:
You’re on the Journey.
The Journey into knowing who you really are…
It can at times seem as though the more cryptic the message, the simpler the interpretation. From The Simple Voice to Aloha Harder to Soul Speak from A to Z, all the seasons of Light and Dark, I have been seeking to better understand all the many facets to the Diamond like reflection of the Soul.
The heavy vibes, they just happen.
The meh is needed in order to truly feel the yay.
If all else fails, just channel your Inner E-40, all the Bay Yay Area Vibes, and just GO.
