Look to this day
Look to this day
For it is life, the very life of life
In its brief course lie all the verities
And the realities of your existence;
The bliss of growth;
The splendour of beauty;
For yesterday is but a dream,
And tomorrow is only a vision:
But today well lived
Makes every yesterday
A dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope,
Look well therefore to this day!

Nature Photography – World Photography Day
As today is World photography day, I thought I’d share with you some of my favourite photographs of nature that i’ve taken over the last year, some of which you may have seen on here before.
Nature photography is something I delved in to after beginning to see the real beauty within it. All of nature holds within it a pure beauty that exists within us all;
An art in itself, captured with ease
To share and hold, with all the beauty it brings
I hope you enjoyed them as much as I do ❤ please let me know of your favourite too. Happy world photography day 🙂
The miracle of creation
I’ve been studying the course in miracles over the last few months and so far it’s been a really enlightening journey, a lot of my recent posts have come from this.
The following is my most recent reflections and I’ll be sharing more to come, I hope you find them useful and enjoy;
The miracle of creation
Everything is a miracle and one as part of creation,
Therefore the only appropriate response is gratitude.
To desire or strive out of a sense of fear, loss or lack is to see oneself as separate.
To struggle then is to be out of alignment with creation; which always unfolds in nature effortlessly.
Truth opens up and creates from the space of oneness; that is our truth and exists in allowing all to be as it is.
Unfolding moment by moment in accordance with all that is, our intention creates and grows as part of nature from within us.
There is no lack, this is only fear and all fear is illusion. Create only from a space of love, where all is real, one and forever unfolding. ❤
Freedom is a choice
One of the greatest gifts I have found on my journey so far is that of freedom, true inner freedom. I say gift because it is one we all have innately yet so many of us fail to acknowledge it, it can sometimes take a journey of realisation to do so.
This is what happened to me after too many years of living in a place where I’d felt trapped both inwardly and outwardly, now I know this truth and I see it very clearly so much so I had forgotten how so many don’t.
After having this recent insight I felt passionately about sharing it with you to always remember your freedom of choice. To remember you are innately free by the freedom to choose, no matter what. I really do believe it can be this simple, as simple as a choice. None of us are prisoners and even if you are in the external sense, you still have the freedom of choice in what you believe, and in what you perceive things to mean for you and your life.
Choice is our greatest gift and the biggest illusion is in believing that we do not have a choice.
I find it shocking now when I see what some people will accept and in effect to choose to suffer because they are in this illusion that they do not have a choice, when they really do. If you are suffering in a job, relationship or any circumstance you always have a choice. Always head towards your joy.
As Joseph Campbell stated;
Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where before there were only walls.
There is so much truth in his words and doors really do open up before you when you make a choice to follow your bliss.
When we only look externally or at the conditions we may be in, it can appear that we are trapped in some way, but there is always a choice even if only in how we choose to perceive it and this alone can change everything.
The greatest choice I believe is that of either love or fear, one on which everything can be based. In reality we are all free, we only need to choose it for it to be realised.
Your choices are the real gifts you contain;
To create a life of real beauty or pain.

Seeing in advance
If everything is created
Then anything can be recreated,
And as so created,
It is then
That anything is possible,
As it is within, so it is without
Start with the truth,
Only in love

Changing patterns
We can often live in a place where we are are following patterns,
When we can just as easily in a split second choose to let go of this and make a new choice, to follow a new pattern.
This is the power of choice,
The power we all have from within.
Choose where you come from,
From a higher space of serving a higher cause,
For yourself and others,
Always in oneness ❤

Living at the Cause
What does it mean to live at the cause? This is something of a realisation that came recently when I discovered that I had become somewhat increasingly focused on the level of effect in my life rather than cause. The gap in perspective of both cause and effect can in reality seem so small but at the same time it is huge, cause and effect are in fact one, both created in a cyclical effect as much of energy is. The main difference between them is where your focus is,whether it exists in the present or in the future, if it is in the past you are also focused on effect. That’s all it is, a change in perception, but that small change in perception can create massive differences for ourselves and others.
If you are an ambitious or success driven person as many of us are then it is easy to become absorbed in the level of effect and therefore push and stretch yourself in the now to achieve where it is you want to be. This may seem perfectly fine but it is this space where fear, stress and worry often exist. At the cause all that exists is peace and intention, intention may be there but once focused on it is let go of and the process is then in faith. To hold on to it is to force or control and therefore mistrust in yourself and the process and to then be out of alignment with the present moment.
Although this sounds deep, it is in fact a paradox because it is very simple when we see it in the now , all that exists in the now is already here and available to us we only have to set our intention and choose to focus on it. We do not hold on to the future because it is not here yet and where we exist is in the now solely and completely. Only we choose where our focus goes and on which part of life we choose to allow it to, this is then what we experience.
The act of taking responsibility is another sole part of living at the cause because we are then choosing to live with complete awareness that ‘I am living in the now and choosing which actions to take based on my intentions and my purpose, not with the past or the future’. You are the sole creator of your life and by living at the cause you are choosing to accept and acknowledge the power that exists within your life to live in this way. By looking to others to create our lives or blaming in anyway we are giving this power away, not just the power of where we are now but the power that exists within us to create positive change.
The alternative looks more like this , ‘if I am living at the effect I am relating to my environment as a separate entity to myself therefore I am reliant on it to provide me with what I need and also from others. I am looking at what am I receiving, what exists in my life , what will I get for all this I am doing.’ It may appear logical to think in this way but this is a discord as there I would ultimately be mistrusting the process and myself as a creator existing in the here and now. I would be distrusting the process therefore creating discord between my focus/intention and the effect.
It is probably fair to suggest that many of us live at both levels and perhaps more often at the level of effect, focusing on where we want to go, where we want to be, what we need or don’t have thus creating much of the stress within and competition in society. It is also clear to see those who live solely at the level of cause and who are therefore in the present moment, fully aware of the energy of creation that exists within them, some clear examples would be Gandhi, The Dalai Lama and Mother Theresa. In fact any of the outstanding characters you can think of that have made or are making a huge difference in the world are doing this and have done this because they are living with the full awareness of their creational energy and they are living at the cause with their intention and full faith in themselves and the environment as one.
Ultimately living at the cause is where I desire to be in the now with the intention to make a positive difference to as many people as possible and after the realisation of how it is to become focused at the effect and how disempowering this state of living can be, I encourage you all to choose to live at the cause of your own lives and realise what amazing creators you really are if you don’t do this already. In every moment consider am I reacting or creating.. what place am I coming from..what is the cause I wish to live by.
We are all creators and can choose how to benefit this world today and everyday to make a real difference, we all can do this in our own unique way, we all have gifts to give. If we choose to live at effect and ignore who we are and what we can do now then we distrust in ourselves and the process therefore giving our power away. Which do you choose?
