The robyn comes, heralding youth and new beginning. Richness, color, growth, childlike innocence, deep rain, longer sun to linger. In what we have been given, tending to our lives to the richness, the color, the ability to share appreciation in silence or with words and action.
Are you tending to your garden? What do you want to grow and flourish? Give it attention, give it appreciation, call understanding, time. Spend some time watching nature unfold. Enjoy today; it is whatever you have been given to tend.
What are you creating? Are you moving at a pace that gives you life instead of draining or over-extending your life force? Spend an hour in the garden with the hummingbirds or the blossoms, warming into their fullness. They don’t think about it for very long… all they need is a little warmth, a little light.
Shine your light, extend your warmth. And notice how the glorious people and work in your life respond, opening in fullness, offering life to your energy.
If not it may be a time for pruning, so next years garden can flourish in the branches of mutual acknowledgement and appreciation. The garden always responds when tended.
Listen during the sunrise – listen. There is a story here. Every day a new step, a new grace, a new opportunity to listen fully. Listen every morning – she has a gift for you.
Be creative. Create, write, dance, play, sing, take photos – something that enriches your own heart that will serve the next seven generations. If it serves to make you happy the next seven generations will feel that and it will make the world better.
Commit to media that inspires – poems, songs, film – bring media into your home that fuels and nourishes the soul, the Beauty Way in your nature. If it does not inspire, don’t watch, listen, or allow it in your environment.
Notice richness. What nourishes your life? Give everything to it; allow yourself to revel in gratitude.
What a great blessing. Thank you for your gifts. Thank you for your interest in a life of Sacred Intention.
May this serve the highest good.
In Beauty - With great love -

Hello Every Beautiful One…
“Yay, darkness! Winter cool, inside outside, leaves, fire. The bones of trees against the stark sky. How incredibly beautiful, what a gift this day. Remember it’s a gift to you. You can unwrap it with gratitude and care, or not.
Bottom line is: it’s your gift, given to you by Great Mystery. How you choose to receive it, what you you choose to do with it, belongs to you.
Step into the beautiful mystery of winter. Let the season’s work their magic on your life. Cultivate wisdom. Create for the heart of it. Find a sanctuary and cultivate kindness. In the dark, it is important that we be brave, kind, and move slowly. Honor the rhythm of winter. Let your bones rest, and gently, with so much compassion, give yourself time to go inside, so when the time comes you’ll have the strength to grow. Thank you for this beautiful day: another chance to begin again; another chance to rejoice in being able to live; another chance to do what we really were called to do yesterday. Find it, love it, and be a little generous yourself. It’s all a generous gift from the Mystery. May you be blessed on a clear path for always.”
In Beauty, With Gratitude,
Char Sundust

God Death and Poetry
New Life
By Char Sundust
If you ask a question
And hold it in your heart
The how
will reveal itself
a white globe of shell
will move from its underwater home
and stretch out
will enter the world
slowly, bringing what is sacred to the surface
persevering gently, preserving the way
the way is to hold sacred
the way is to listen to all things good
from this place comes the essential
the tenderness questions no one dares to ask
from this place comes
wonder
inspiration
and be aware
the strait path takes courage, and the crooked path awaits
so every day
I will pay attention
Every day
I will break open the dark water
Every day
I will honor what is beautiful and real
in each human being
And every moment
I will surrender the easy path,
Because I am
a disciple of the mysteries
May you be blessed in all ways.
In ceremony,
Char Sundust

Blue Heron - Zen 3 Presences
By William Wittman
June 17, 2005 Madison Beach
Into the sounds
Of crashing lumber,
And the tsht, tsht, tsht,
Of the park sprinklers,
Glides the great blue heron
Silently.
I erupt in blue and white sparks.
