Here is a photo of a century plant, (agave Americana) here in Sedona, AZ, USA.
Here's a photo of a century plant in bloom. In class, we had a conversation with a plant just like this one! This is a fascinating plant in that it only blooms once in its life and the bloom happens in our human world rather spontaneously. We can enjoy the plant for years and then suddenly begin to see a sprout growing up out of the middle. The bloom is so striking. Once the plant has completely bloomed it dies. Generally, there are numerous offspring growing nearby which carry on until they bloom.
Until we meet again on November 6th here are some exercises you may explore: 1. Make a list of 5 people you know. For instance, let's say I list some friends: a. Jeannie b. George c. Patricia d. Rob e. Gary
2. Take a few moments to ask yourself a few questions about each of the people on your list. So, next, I will take Jeannie and ask myself these questions: How would I describe Jeannie? What is she like? What makes her happy? What is it like for me to be with her? How am I influenced or inspired by her? The assignment is to be with how it is for you to be with this person. What makes him or her unique?
3. Do this exercise with each of the five people on your list. By doing this exercise you may learn something new about them and yourself. This exercise also brings greater awareness for when you talk with animals, plants, insects and the Earth.
Here listed below are some past explorations which I have continued to list as they are powerful in transforming our experience of life and our world.
Ongoing explorations into transforming our world: If you were the designer of human life living here at Mother Earth, how would that look? Imagine if you could wiggle your nose and have it however you wished what would life be like here? How does it feel to you to imagine this?
Let's create our visions of living in harmony, living in harmony with all life! Visions felt, powerfully create our tomorrows!
What visions have you unknowingly been a part of supporting? For example, what realities have you continued to think about and experience emotion over which upset you and continue to this day? What if you acknowledged they exist and then put your heart and mind to envisioning how you would love it to be? A personal example for me is the abuse of horses. I could stay in my upset reaction, or I can spend a bit of time creating a world where all horses are cherished. This takes a bit of thought. What is my choice? What is yours?
Our presence experiencing the love and wisdom of Nature is powerful in that what we experience, learn and know can transform our species such that all human beings respect animals, plants, insects, and Mother Earth. How would that be if we lived in balance with our fellow humans sharing the loving bond of Nature? Here are some powerful exercises. Take a few moments as often as possible, for instance, perhaps you do this while having your morning tea or coffee, or while you brush your teeth. Take a few moments to be with your love of Nature. It may be a moment adoring your cat or dog or horse. It could be looking out the window at a favorite tree or flowering bush. Perhaps it is a mountain nearby or a river that inspires you. Whatever it is choose something and enjoy moments of being moved by nature's inspiration. Allow yourself to really feel it and also give a thought to share the gift of joy with all of humanity. In this way, you are a powerful transformer of life. Thank you for your partnership!
