Let your feet dance freely. Let your lips pronounce the words, which flow from your heart in eager, joyful rhythm. Use your body to exclaim the song of your spirit, the anthem of your soul. You exist from the center, from the core, from the spirit that is the eternal you. Use your body to exclaim the brilliance of the eternal you. I love you today as I love you forever. You have life because I love you, eternally love you. Dance freely, and sing joyfully, for God is in love with you.
And The Holy Spirit says:
There can be none but joy for the one who sees into The Light and embraces the vision with clarity. For you see, the vision is reality unfolding eternally, for you.

I AM the way you perceive Me, for you. If you perceive Me harsh and unforgiving that is the way I AM, for you. That becomes the way you see the world in which you live. If you perceive Me angry and revengeful that is the way I AM, for you. That becomes the way you see the world in which you live. If you perceive Me Spirit and Love that is The Way I AM, for you. That becomes The Way you see the world in which you live.
And The Holy Spirit says:
Those who awaken, to The Call of The Wind, will witness the rising of The Son, will embrace the coming of The New Day, will see and know and believe, beyond all things, the miracle unfolding so all might see. Those who are awake will see. Those who sleep will not see.

Welcome to The Pathway into Lent
Well, we made it through January, the first month of the Gregorian calendar. It was named after Janus, the Roman god of all beginnings. While looking up some January facts, to share with you, I was surprised to learn that January replaced March as the first month of the Roman year no later than 153 BCE. (Britannica)
In ancient Roman culture, Jānus was a god of doorways, beginnings, and the rising and setting of the sun. His name comes from the Latin jānus, meaning “doorway, archway, arcade.” As the god of transitions and dualities, Janus is portrayed with two faces—one facing the past, and one facing the future. He also holds a key in his right hand, which symbolizes his protection of doors, gates, thresholds, and other separations or openings between spatial boundaries. (Britannica)
Fun fact: the closely related Latin word jānua, meaning “door, doorway, entrance,” ultimately gives us the word janitor, which originally referred to a door attendant or porter before evolving to its more familiar sense of “custodian.” (Britannica)
Most years, at the beginning of January, I find myself reminiscing over the past months, before releasing them, and moving forward into the new year. Maybe you do, as well. We have made our way into January, moving through each of the doorways and archways, following our paths, which led us onward into that which is new, that which is the present with us. We hold the keys to opening all doors and gates which sit before us. We have The Wisdom of The Holy Spirit, within us. And The Spirit is waiting to comfort, guide, teach, and to be our advocate in all times, in all ways. We have taken the adventure through January and we are well situated in the month of February. Onward we go, without hesitation, heartache or woe. I invite you to join me as we journey farther into February, stepping onto The Pathway into Lent.
The reading I have chosen today is from Psalm 102:25
The Reading
February 11, 2024
“In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.” Psalm 102:25

No matter what you are facing today, take yourself to a quiet place. Be still. Be quiet. Settle yourself within, as you listen to the song of the bird, the breeze in the trees. As all around you awakens, within you a feeling of calm, breathe deeply, as you seek revelation of what to do, how to do it, even what to say. I AM with you always, and I AM with you today, as you seek in the tranquil arms of nature, wherein you will rest. Soon you will have an inkling of how to begin, and the answer will not come in frustration, or in a river of tears, sobbing, or anguish. The answer will rise from within you and fill you with peace.
And The Holy Spirit says:
No matter what you are facing today, you do not face it alone. Many consider it a mystery, how I dwell, within thee. But My presence is more divine, a sublime outpouring of the grace of God. I AM with you so you are not alone, so you do not have to make decisions on your own, so you will always know The Way and walk in it. I AM here. Draw near to Me, and together we will sit, until the answer rises, clear as a morn of a new spring dawn.

Do not struggle, grappling with the complexities created by human thought. Go first to the core, to the source. For, it is there you find simplicity, in its purest form. From the seed of a thought all creation was set in motion; and you are a vital piece of the creation, which lives. My creation lives, as you live within it. The energy of creation is within you. Celebrate today that you were created, to live forever, experiencing My creation in a unique way. And as you do, My creation continues within you, within your thoughts, your words, all you do every day. Do not make complex that which is pure, and simple, at its core, at the moment of creation. It is all one, and you are one with it.
And The Holy Spirit says:
Come. Let Me love you, in the only way I love thee, which is completely, lacking nothing in the sweet surrender. You are cherished beyond what you can now imagine. But, if you will allow My energy to enfold you, in My love, you will know the most sacred peace, the peace of surrender, and giving, loving, and living, the way life was meant to be experienced. There are no limitations, and as we love, you will come to know and believe, believe this to your core. There is no circumference, only the center of all that is. Created from the energy of My love, all creation, moves out from the source, unabated, with no barriers. That is how creation continues forever. There is no stopping My love, as it is eternal. You have been loved into eternity. You are already within it. Now, come and allow My love to breach the resisting wall, so you might feel My love more than ever before, and disbelief will fall into the open arms of believing, knowing.

Look around, what do you see? Do you see eternity? Well, it is there, in the soil, in the rocks, in the air all around you. Just because you cannot see it, does not mean it is not there, with you, revealing itself only to those who will be still and quiet so they might truly see. Look today, and beyond the forest, you will be drawn to one tree. And that one tree will reveal its energy. When caught in the revelation of the light you will catch a glimmer. All this awaits you, if you will but look and see. There is so much energy in the unseen world around you. If you look, if you seek, you will find it, and your life will be changed along the path to the unseen.
And The Holy Spirit says:
You do not need to know all that went into the creation of the rose. All you need do, to exchange, with the rose, in a personal way, is to bend, or stoop, draw near to the flower, and breathe. Breathe deeply, taking its beauty, its energy, into your being. And, when this is done, the relationship established, the flower will reveal itself, in the light of the sun. Begin your course into the unseen, the unknown, by first acknowledging the essence, the beauty, of that which surrounds you, and that will open the door, which leads to that which you did not see before.

See yourself, waltzing around and over a tranquil lagoon, in the light of the moon, tenderness holding the air in a sweet stillness for which there is nothing to compare. See yourself, free, without the baggage of the past, delighting in the present, no thought of what tomorrow might bring. It is not a luxury. It is living, as you are meant to live, while lessons and wisdom rest, within your being, as the only ornamentation you need. For no jewel shines brighter than does wisdom. And the lessons which bring wisdom, are as words whispered from My Spirit, deep within you.
And The Holy Spirit says:
I AM as a Golden Compass, within you. When you acknowledge My presence, and seek counsel from Me, you shall never lose your way. My presence does not guarantee a life free from challenge. It does not promise you will not face obstacles, nor stumbling stones. My presence within you promises comfort, counsel, guidance, and The Ways of Wisdom. We walk together, as one. No one sees Me, for I AM within thee. Yet, you know Me. I AM hidden from view, within you, so you might know The Way and live in peaceful joy all your days.
