Patheos / New Visions: Listening to Sacred Stillness: Stillness Teaches Us Patience
Stillness Teaches Us Patience
When we practice listening to sacred stillness, the stillness teaches us patience.
Many of us do not particularly appreciate the opportunities waiting gives us. We often think of patience as more of a weakness than a strength.

Starting each day with an expansive outlook puts us in alignment for more of that feeling all day.
Connecting with ourselves in the morning—in any way—helps us remain grounded and rooted throughout the day. We set a standard of self-care first thing, so we can be present for what the day brings.

Treehugger: 9 Beguiling Facts About Belugas
The Arctic can seem quiet compared with lower latitudes, where there are often more birds and other animals to fill the air with sound. It does have music of its own, though — including the underwater hullabaloo of belugas, sometimes referred to as the “canaries of the sea.”

On the morning of March 5, 2021, watch for the almost last quarter waning gibbous moon to pair up with Antares, the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius the Scorpion.

Patheos-Pagan: She’s Wiccan
“She’s Wiccan.”
The statement felt less like a revelation and more like a dismissal.
“She’s Wiccan . . . . so obviously she knows nothing and her Witchcraft is not authentic.”

Inner Journey: BEING GENUINE
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
When we don’t know who we are — or if we are afraid to be who we are — we betray ourselves. We pretend to be who we think we are. Our self image is made up of our experiences, desires and other people’s ideas and expectations of us.
Maintaining this false self is a betrayal of ourselves. In all deep spiritual journeys, there is the experience of betrayal. Betrayal always tells us to adjust our life to be more authentic. What we identify with is all important.
There are large betrayals (e.g., your partner leaving you) and small betrayals (e.g., disappointments). They are all experiences of being wounded for the purpose of breaking down the defenses of the personality. When we allow the wounding and accept the betrayals as divine gifts, we greatly benefit.
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
— Dr. Seuss (via Elena)
“What you must dare is to be yourself.”
— Dag Hammarskjold

Longevity
“What counts is not the years in your life but the life in your years.”
-Adlai E. Stevenson (1900-1965)
We often hear “You’re as young as you feel” or “You’re as young as you think you are!” Think about it. How important is our chronological age anyway? It’s just a marker of time. Of course we need to take care of ourselves, and we also need to go out there and experience life, to challenge ourselves, to live Life with a capital “L!”
-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The Chariot
There may be a lot of possible things to do and places to go today. You don’t need to instantly decide anything upon waking up. Let your intuition guide you, and continue listening to that intuition as you begin down the path you’ve chosen. If work or family have dictated today, don’t be resentful but let intuition sort out the easiest and best route for you to follow.
