Life Living

falcon flying across a blue sky

The “eternal” is at work in the pastures of Florida. A relentless rhythm of Life living itself in every square inch of land, air and tree. The lowing cattle live an eternal existence that has taken place here for centuries. The names on the few street signs reflect the history of the area…SW Florida a bit inland, citrus and cattle country.

The paradox is that there is change within the sameness. The landscape evolves but the rules are the same. Everything speaks of Life’s expression, changing within eternal rhythms.. My experience is from the inside, a stillness and appreciation of light and its profound effect on the voices of the many plant forms.

Each plant takes light and expresses it in its particular way. It’s what fascinates me about Essential Oils… Each oil is the “voice” of a species expressed uniquely and eloquently. Each voice offers a special experience if we can keep a gentle hand on the tuner and listen from the core of our being.

We humans, like the plants, have unique voices to express… No one can tell us what those voices will materialize, just that it must sing with the Light of Truth like the plants sing with the Sun’s grace.

Touching that place deep within creates destiny. Simple sensory experiences aren’t enough. We are intended to create, uniquely and individually, but coming from the Great One as Love.

In the stillness of the pastures, circling upward with the hawks, grounded eternally in the cattle and exploding in the abundance of plant life, is the curriculum of creativity, a metaphor of joyful expression.

May we make this kind of living our singular mission. May we feel our presence, fully and mindfully, in this moment unfolding eternally.

With much love, Rosanne

Anyone who has read my blogs knows that I am not kindred to technology. I just wasn’t born with that “chip!” Since all of this is unfamiliar, it causes anxiety for me (and for many others). Undaunted, I am forging forward, in a state of bewilderment and sometimes futility, to navigate. The latest mystery is…

A Terrible Master

Have you noticed that you “feel before you think?” The body is wise and intuitive…the mind can be easily fooled. The longer I practice Reiki, (light touch energy healing) I realize that it is a validation of what I’ve known all along. As they say in the East, the mind is a wonderful servant but…

The Snow Grinch

By Rosanne Bostonian | December 14, 2022

I’ve never been a big fan of snow. I don’t ski nor snowboard (God forbid), and the shoveling and travel hazards have been exhausting and scary. On the surface, snow is fraught with trials and tribulations. Walking my dog in the snow has resulted in several butt surfing episodes that are ever more daunting in…

We Aren’t Our Thoughts

“The mind is its own place – It can make Hell of Heaven or Heaven of Hell.” John Milton in “Paradise Lost” At some point we have to decide who we are and who we aren’t. The jury is still out on the human mind and its machinations. After all, the body has existed as…

The Peace of Acceptance

Why are all forms temporary? When we follow the transition of form to energy, we are on the Path to Enlightenment and Abundance. There is a part of us that finds the loss of familiarity and form off-putting and disconcerting. I’m sure you’ve experienced that feeling…the sense that we want our loved ones with us…

We either move beyond a sense of limitation in these times of change, or we are left behind. There are moment described in spiritual literature when people accomplish transformation in an instant. These miraculous examples of upward mobility are referred to as “epiphanies” in Christian lore. They are sometimes described as a vision that immediately…

Thinking

By Rosanne Bostonian | October 14, 2022

There is a lot of mischief in thinking.  The mind spins to solve problems so it must have problems to solve. This means that events must be interpreted as problems or potential problems. Is there any wonder that the lines at CVS are out the door? Everything is a problem, so we’re heightened and ready…

I remember my dear uncle saying, “Now that I’m old I can look back on life while I’m living it.” I didn’t get that at the time, but now I do. What I find different about getting older is that I can be the observer and the actor at the same time. When we’re young,…

Through Us, Not From Us

By Rosanne Bostonian | August 23, 2022

What I have come to understand is that everything our senses experience has come through us, not from us. In other words, the material world is already created, so its slow vibration is only the reflection of highly potent “pre-manifested energy.” So, if what is already out there, people, animals, things, isn’t a “source,” what…

Impatience

By Rosanne Bostonian | July 13, 2022

If there is a downside to technology, it is justifying impatience.  “I want it and I want it NOW!”  The idea that some things take time feels like a violation to many of us. It all started with the TV dinner and microwaves! (No official validation of that, just my opinion.) Competition seems to bring…
