Belonging to the Wind

The wind is uaually followed by a change. I thought of this yesterday when we were hit with the first real snow of the year. This is the sign. We are entering into a new season and the wind carried it to us.Consenting to innder love is alot like the scattering of leaves that comes with a gust of wind. Something new comes through and shakes everything up. I might strip the leaves from the trees or cover the earth with a blaket of snow. Either way, it is a change. It challenges the old, familiar patterns.

It's the same with our souls. Change comes and blows everything around and suddenly the way things used to be, the familiar scenary, is gone and we are left with an entirely new inner environment. We are awakened to a new life. If this newly awakened spirit is to rmain open however, it must learn how to survive. It must adapt to the changes around it. It must continue to move forward. It is intentional and it is committed. The spirit within challenges our old, familiar patterns.
