Life Living

hawk flying across the sky

The “eternal” is at work in the pastures of Florida. A relentless rhythm of Life living itself in every square inch of land, air and tree. The lowing cattle live an eternal existence that has taken place here for centuries. The names on the few street signs reflect the history of the area…SW Florida a bit inland, citrus and cattle country.

The paradox is that there is change within the sameness. The landscape evolves but the rules are the same. Everything speaks of Life’s expression, changing within eternal rhythms.. My experience is from the inside, a stillness and appreciation of light and its profound effect on the voices of the many plant forms.

Each plant takes light and expresses it in its particular way. It’s what fascinates me about Essential Oils… Each oil is the “voice” of a species expressed uniquely and eloquently. Each voice offers a special experience if we can keep a gentle hand on the tuner and listen from the core of our being.

We humans, like the plants, have unique voices to express… No one can tell us what those voices will materialize, just that it must sing with the Light of Truth like the plants sing with the Sun’s grace.

Touching that place deep within creates destiny. Simple sensory experiences aren’t enough. We are intended to create, uniquely and individually, but coming from the Great One as Love.

In the stillness of the pastures, circling upward with the hawks, grounded eternally in the cattle and exploding in the abundance of plant life, is the curriculum of creativity, a metaphor of joyful expression.

May we make this kind of living our singular mission. May we feel our presence, fully and mindfully, in this moment unfolding eternally.

With much love, Rosanne

Thinking

By Rosanne Bostonian | November 12, 2022

There is a lot of mischief in thinking. The mind spins to solve problems so it must have problems to solve. This means that events must be interpreted as problems or potential problems. Is there any wonder that the lines at CVS are out the door? Everything is a problem, so we’re heightened and ready…

Our Stories

By Rosanne Bostonian | October 5, 2022

  Also known as our “stories,” our beliefs about ourselves can become indelible tattoos of limitation. Burdened by our conditioning and childhood vulnerabilities many of us live entire lives never flying free…never truly becoming the transparency, the portal through which Grace can shine through us into our Earthly stint as material beings. What a challenge…

Impatience

By Rosanne Bostonian | September 7, 2022

If there is a downside to technology, it is justifying impatience. “I want it and I want it NOW!” The idea that some things take time feels like a violation to many of us. It all started with the TV dinner and microwaves! (No official validation of that, just my opinion.) Competition seems to bring…

Minor Annoyances, Major Effects

By Rosanne Bostonian | January 18, 2022

There is a balancing act between our coping abilities and our stressors. We have external stress, like traffic, demands from family and work. We also have internal stress, like negative thinking and physical pain. When these stressors outweigh our ability to cope, the result is “distress.” Distress is a chronic state of not enough; not…

A Life of Transformation

By Rosanne Bostonian | December 23, 2021

Our species started out as roamers. Our ancient ancestors moved with the seasons, finding fertile areas to hunt and gather. Later, we evolved into agrarians, planting crops, tending them, and harvesting the fruits of our labor. Bred into our ancient DNA is the need to process, rest and go within. The rhythms were natural, and…

The Light Green Crayon

By Rosanne Bostonian | November 16, 2020

When I was little, Spring meant I’d color with the light green crayon from the Crayola box. The darker green was reserved for Summer when the leaves matured. The seasons change faster now and the Spring colors evoke nostalgia. In Spring the forsythias and crocuses give way to the azaleas. Their vivid explosion speaks with…

Adjusting to Rapid Change

By Rosanne Bostonian | January 17, 2020

How do you keep up? We all like to “know that we know!” When change is happening rapidly, we confront what we don’t know on a daily basis. This means accepting the “I Don’t Know Zone” as a part of daily living and accommodating to the learning necessary to move with the times. For me,…

Bias Reporting

By Rosanne Bostonian | December 17, 2019

Subjective Truth Since most of us operate under the rule of “confirmational bias,” i.e., selective confirmation for what we already believe, the notion of objectivity in the press has become a relic of the past. The competition for viewership, listenership and readership has polarized the media into warring camps. Bias Reporting? I wonder if the…
