TIMING
Rebecca Singer
Walking along the roads and by the lake, and in the forest during these autumn days, I am
struck once again with the exquisite timing of the natural world. And beyond that, Universal
Timing. Every life form on this planet, and perhaps beyond, is embodying the cycles of birth,
growth and decay. Although we know this intellectually, I believe that many of our ills as humans
come from the fact that we have distanced ourselves from the timing of the universe. Every living
thing but humans knows what to do when. From the bees, to the whales, cycles of movement, migration, and songs follow the natural order of life.
Many of us move to the sounds and rhythms of a technological world totally out of balance with the timing of nature and Universal Timing.
Not only that, we humans have wreaked havoc with the intricate, delicate intertwined threads of the natural world.
Nearly everything about American culture is geared toward GETTING MORE FASTER. If we want something, we want it now!!
Newer and faster are defined as better. Not true. Consider a moment, how much of your daily life is spent in places with no relationship to natural
light, sounds, silences? How does this affect your body? Spirit? ( I was recently with my husband after a knee surgery in a hospital, and being in
that environment threw me totally off, as one is so cut off from the world of nature in every way. I forgot most of what I know, and learned that the
only way for me to enter such an environment is as the Shaman I am.)
I believe one of the most powerful intentions we can send out is this: "Please align my heart and soul's yearnings with Universal Timing."
"Please align my personal timing with the timing of the Universe."
This intention requires us to have a very deep faith that such a timing exists. I am not advocating a belief that everything happens as it should. Nor
am I saying that we will get everything we ask for.
I am simply reminding you that there is a deep well of strong, never-ending energy that is at the source of all creation, and you can align yourself
with this energy. Its all about timing.
Whether its physical well being, a relationship, a job, the right place to live, or what your next steps might be......dive deep and see if you can
imagine yourself as part of the flow in this miraculous mystery of Natural Timing.
If you look back on your life, can you see that actually things worked out when it was best? Can you see any sense of this timing? Can you see it
in other's lives?
May this autumn bring you bounty, peace, and a belief in the natural order of things.
Be well,
Rebecca
