Warm greetings and blessings to you, dear Friend!
May each and every one of us trust in the timing of Divine Order with Ease and Grace.
THIS MONTH’S TOPIC
(In video format! Please click here.)
As mentioned in the video above:
1) Here in the Northern Hemisphere, Fall is upon us! I hope that you’re enjoying the change of season, and all that it brings – including cooler temperatures, crisp air, multi-coloured leaves – and sweaters and blankets!
2) What’s new and good in my life?
I always base this on the 4 Pillars: Health, Wealth, Love and Self-Expression.
Health: Every other day, I continue to enjoy LONG morning walks (between 2 and 3 hours). With my backpack on, I re-connect with my experience of walking the Camino Francés in Spain in September and October of 2019, and I return home feeling grounded, peaceful and present.
Wealth: In a couple of weeks, I’ll be free of credit card debt! For a while, I was living beyond my means, AND those days are about to end… And it feels VERY satisfying.
Love: I continue to feel blessed beyond measure for my beloved wife Kim. My birthday was on September 7th, and we got to enjoy 4 relaxing days at the home of a good friend of mine on Salt Spring Island (one of the Gulf Islands between Vancouver Island and “the mainland” of British Columbia).
Self-Expression: I continue to virtually serve many churches in both Canada and the U.S. (may the 4th wave of the pandemic be the LAST one, and may it be over SOON!), and I’ve recently discovered ways to improve my online offerings both visually (using “Canva” for graphics) and aurally (enabling high quality stereo sound on ALL platforms). wooHOO! AND, on October 21st and November 5th, I’ll be performing (on fretless bass) as part of a Joni Mitchell tribute! Details for ALL of my performances can always be found online on my Calendar page.
Morning Musings – my weekly 15 minute offering – which includes a musing, a new chant inspired by the musing, and some shared silence – continues (I’ve now created FIFTY NINE chants!) and is now being carried on the New Thought Media Network. I’m excited about the opportunity to reach more people with my weekly offering, and I thank Rev. Robert Brzezinski for the opportunity. If you haven’t already, I hope that you can join me for one/some/all of these offerings! You can find the current one on my Facebook business page every Wednesday morning at 10:00 AM Pacific, or see any of them at any time on my YouTube channel.
Because my Morning Musings have been featuring original chants inspired by the 12 Powers of the Unity church, I’m one of the musical artists on TwelvePowersClub.com If you haven’t yet done so, I invite you to check out the Club and see all that’s being offered there.
So life is GOOD. I trust that life is GOOD for you too, and getting better all the time. 🙂
3) This month, I’ve been exploring ORDER – an important part of my 2021 theme of SURRENDER, which is a deepening of my 2020 theme of FREEDOM. My chants have been about the Power of Order, trusting in the timing of Divine Order, surrendering to Divine Order, how it feels to surrender to Divine Order, and how the breath (re)connects us to Divine Order.
In honour of this month’s theme of ORDER – and how MANY of us (including ME!) can sometimes confuse “capital O” (Divine) Order with “small o” (control!) order – this month’s video features “There Is A Time”, a new original chant about trusting in the timing of Divine Order. (It was inspired by the New Living Translation of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, the quote that also inspired “Turn, Turn, Turn” by The Byrds.) The chant begins at 6:46 in this month’s video (above). May it serve you well!
And, as always…
