Soul's Silent Calling

"Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything an it can

always speak, without even making a sound to another soul."

Frances Hodgson Burnett

It is difficult to imagine life without a vibrant imagination. As a child we are fascinated by fire flies and imaginary friends. As an adult, we begin to question the source behind magic and remember loved ones appearing in our dreams. We grow older yet, wondering about the unspoken words we hear or the destination beyond death.

With awareness, we start noticing a greater depth to what has always appeared before us, and deeper symbolism embedded in nature, art, and unsolicited day dreams. What was once experienced as isolated incidents, now reflect a gentle pattern that carved us into a certain way. How is it we can sense a spirit in the wind, or in the sound of a wave?

Even as a speculation that all things matter, does it not increase the necessity of treating everything with respect and honor? And if all things have intent and purpose, will our carelessness squash a greater plan? Bit by bit are we aborting small efforts bent towards beauty and peace? Soul is a silent calling we really can hear.

Out of Nothing

"Magic is always pushing and drawing things out of nothing."

Frances Hodgson Burnett 

Those who are creatively intuitive never have a dull moment.  They can cast their eyes up into the sky or down a deep well and images surface.  While looking at the grain in the wood of the door, faces appear.  In the soundless night, voices whisper.

Little children regularly experience this magic, but well meaning adults talk them out of what the child believes to be true.  The child talks to an imaginary friend or casually reports seeing his deceased uncle at the playground.  Imagination one says, but no, I believe these things to be true.

As a child, I saw things appear and felt things vibrate in spite of what I was told.  I learned not to share what I would see, but believed more deeply in what I knew to be true.  As an adult, the flood gates opened transitioning from magic to visions.  Now, as an elder, my intuitive and creative mind experiences what was once thought of as beyond.  The present moment abounds.
