Feel the Bridge of Spirit and Connection

The span at left is at Pitkins Curve, just north of Limekiln Creek.  I took the photo on the last day of the bypass before the bridge was opened. 

It's a special place to me, since my son Hart worked on the bridge for a number of months, building forms for the concrete that supports the main structure.

Before the bridge and its rock shed were made, rocks from the cliff sometimes fell on the road, on the narrow curve, and the road could be blocked for long periods of time.  Now, the driver goes over the elegant bridge and continues down Highway 1.

It's like that with the Bridge of Spirit.  When your own idea of what is happening is the only way you have to see life,  the curve is narrow, and unknown things such as rocks may block the way.  With a connection to your Spirit as your reference point, a larger way opens up and you are given the support which helps you to get where you are going with a far better chance of getting there smoothly.

So how to build the bridge of spirit?  How to connect with that level of support?  Just ask, and the first steps for you to take will appear in your mind.  You already know! Asking for help means asking for your own mind to open up.  Real answers are there, waiting for you.

Connect with another person in a positive way, and you have built a firm foundation.  Each person is a bridge to our universal spirit of unity.  Each moment of your life is a time to create further strengths, and to take bolder and bolder steps on the Bridge of Spirit.

Moonlight on the Ocean

The photo at left shows the first full moon of the year setting over the Pacific, just before dawn.  As the light began to grow, the beautiful lavender and purple hue came out, shimmering in the ocean waters.

The sky lit up with amazing color vibrating, as the majestic mountain scenery became visible.  This is the kind of scene that makes me so grateful to live in this magical place in Big Sur.  The currents of the sea are visible, with the light of a boat on the far right of the photo.

This position of the moon is the northernmost it will be until the same time next year.  As the seasons progress, moonset takes place moving leftward over the ocean, until it is hidden behind the mountain folds of the next creek to the west.

The colors play through the seasons, giving a delightful variation to the scenes.

At this time of year all of nature is recharging and taking on new forms.  Old leaves have dropped, and buds are forming.  The songs of birds are absent, as the main songbirds are still in the south.
Many of the animals have a new generation being born.

New ideas and plans for the future are an important feature of the season.  We wait as the time of contemplation continues, taking stock of what has been, and creating our hopes for the future.

The voice of inner truth speaks to us in our hearts, waiting for us to take action.
I make plans for the coming year, and think of my friends and family, and those new times.
Lots of great things ahead!
