Dear Denise, this morning I struggled to express this crucial matter of Equal Measure. I'm grateful to be reminded of its rarity. Your Nature Noticing helps me to live a bit more patiently with my heart's desire for balance in all our Communities and Circles. Exquisite Blessing to you, your, ours ~ Elaine
That windstorm was really something else last night. And it does remind us of the force of nature and wind. Thank you again Denise for your lovely essay. I always enjoy reflecting on what you have written.
Equal measure. Balance. I don’t feel it. The world feels more like the twisting, angry trees in last night’s howling wind. A hideous war, persecution of our immigrant neighbors, rising racism and bigotry. It seems like everything in my life is in conflict. And I have as much control over it as I do the path of the earth and sun. I wish I were a praying person. Surely the balance to turmoil is prayer.
Dear Bridget, my prayer is that we, the inhabitants of Earth, learn from her. She accepts and allows all of the opposites. Twice in every year the opposites of day and night are in balance. But otherwise balance is rare. I think that if we, her children, learn from her to be open to differences, to change, to evolutionary forces that pull us all toward a future that is good, even when the process of evolving feels chaotic and out of balance, we would unite in that process. I think that the force of Love is in that process. My prayer then, is that like Earth, we hold all of the opposites in Love.

Thank you, Elaine. I wish you the calm that rare true balance brings as we approach this equinox.

Wow, Nancy. I heard that we were expecting strong winds. Hopefully things are more settled now. Thanks for reading Walking on God.
