Finding the light in the darkness

To say we’ve arrived at a fork in the collective road is an understatement. Regardless of outcomes, that reality isn’t going to change; it’s inevitable now. It’s more than probable we are already on the highway to hell; it’s just a case of who will take us there faster.

All that said, though, do you need to jump on board that train? You don’t have to, you know! Much of it is still about the perspective you choose. Is the glass half full? Is it half empty? Is the glass refillable? How much do you let the political theatre feed on vyour energy and distract you from what is most important – your life and those in it and your spiritual growth and sustenance? 

Even the darkest clouds on the horizon still contain a silver lining. Whoever looks at the good in everything, reveals that in everything there is good.

Astrology operates on the ethos of “as above, so below.” This week, the above component reveals the very worst of “astrology bad” and the very best of “astrology good.” As for the as below component, that is the free will of each of us as to whether we choose to see the bad or we choose to see the good.

Stepping out of the gondola a little after 4:10 p.m., we can barely see anything with our goggles on. The sun is scheduled to set in about seven minutes, and you can feel the darkness. The lamps are on along all the wooden railings heading toward the peak lodge, and you can see the patrol…

Horned larks enliven sleeping fields

December 26, 2024
Halloween is long past, but you may notice devilish figures hanging out in scrubby fields and open areas this winter: horned larks. These birds are North America’s only true lark species. They reside year-round in parts of the Northeast, such as Vermont’s Champlain Valley, but disperse across the region more widely in winter, when the…
