Enjoy Yourself and Connect With the Divine
Prior to attending the Oneness
Conference, I had the opportunity to
spend some time with my sister who
lives in California. One of the things we
did was visit the Winchester Mystery
House in San Jose. Even though I have
toured it several times, I still love going
there! (Sarah Winchester built this 160-
room mansion around-the-clock for 38
years, supposedly to appease the
Spirits of the people who were killed by Winchester rifles.) It is both beautiful
and bizarre--with stairways that lead to the ceiling, doors that lead to two-story
drop-offs, and exquisite Tiffany glass!
And even though I lived in the San Jose area for several years and always wanted to visit Ano Nuevo State Reserve to see the Elephant Seals, somehow I never made it there. Thanks to my sister, I finally made it to Ano Nuevo and was able to be up-close-and-personal with many elephant seals. We also walked several other beaches in the Santa Cruz area searching for tidepools and spying seals swimming in the ocean.
The beauty of this area and this time reminded me of one of the easiest ways we can connect with the Divine--doing things we really enjoy. For me, that probably means I'm out walking in nature. What is it for you? Gardening? Cooking? Reading? Painting? Writing? Playing with your dog? Sometimes, you may want to take a break from all the teachings that tell you how to connect with the Divine and instead, just do what you love to do. Do what is naturally"right" for you and gets you in that "zone." Better yet, bring more of what you love into your daily life--that's a great way to deepen your connection with the Divine!
