When something extraordinary occurs, we stop and wonder at the meaning and import behind the event. The phenomenon of the rainbow has long been considered a sign from a larger being or an individual spirit communicating with those on the physical plane—a promise of peace or a sign of survival of spirit after the transition known as death. The rainbow, which often appears after a nurturing rain, is created through the coming together of particles reflecting light in different wavelengths. The visible aspects of the rainbow are augmented by the unseen spectrum of light that also adheres to the physical manifestation. The totality of a miracle can be hidden by observing only that which is readily seen by physical eyes. The eyes of the heart always see the full spectrum of a miracle suspended within the energy of love. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento)

The nature of miracles is open to interpretation. For some, the miracle of birth is the ultimate expression of that considered an extraordinary event worthy of awe and wonder. Although it is the manner in which spirit re-enters the physical plane, this aspect is not often celebrated. Looking for signs of who this spirit was in relation to the family into which it is incarnating can often reap more miraculous moments, as one realizes that perhaps it is not simply a coincidence that the infant seems to have a striking resemblance to a departed loved one, not just physically, but also the sense of presence of that person. As the child grows, it is important to note likes and dislikes that echo those of a transitioned relative. The miracle of reincarnation of spirit stands as a promise of the continued growth of the individual within the interdependent web.

It is the very energy of love that sustains compassion, sympathy, empathy, and kindness. Agape love is amplified when two or more gather with the intent to manifest a positive outcome, for example to overcome an injustice or to aid in a healing. When we come together in agape love, all things are possible, including miracles! Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list.

Venus, the Roman goddess of love, is more often honored during the month of February as lovers everywhere celebrate Valentine’s Day. In truth, love should be celebrated year-round as the emotion that is the manifestation of the energy that sustains and informs us all. As we drag ourselves from our warm beds on cold winter mornings, the planet Venus reminds us that we are held within the warm embrace of the energy of love!

As we begin to sense the growing excitement of impending rebirth, symbolized within the rituals of diverse religions that have formed to give community in which to do so, we become aware that it is within the energy of community that all things are possible on this plane. When we sit together within the energy of love, we are blessed to discover our individual heart lights merging into one. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list.

Siddhartha Gautama relinquished the illusion of wealth and plenty on the physical plane that he might discover answers to the eternal questions that those incarnate must face in each life and each generation. His enlightenment helped to shed light on the cycle of suffering, its causes, and how to overcome it. In the light of relinquishing material bonds, if but for the moments of quiet meditation, we may touch the truth of peace. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento) In the darkness of intolerance and ignorance, many negative ideas are fostered and from this space many acts of hatred are perpetrated. When we encounter these ideas and acts, we must try to shine the light of love upon them, allowing those who are unable or unwilling to awaken to the higher ideals to know that this love is equally available. On this plane, all ideas and acts, both of apparent positive and negative impulse, are here to serve the higher purpose of growth within the interdependent web. The greatest lessons are those that extinguish the paradigm of hate through the actualization of the energy of love. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento) The light fades so early and quickly at day’s end we often find that we have not finished our tasks. Then we must rely on other sources of light to illuminate our way so that we may continue our work. When we find that the darkness impedes our spiritual journey, we must also open ourselves to the light that is always available within our hearts. When our progress is impeded by lack of faith, trust, and belief, we have but to sit in the silence and focus on the breath that sustains us and the still small voice that informs us. Breathe in the light and exhale the flow of love. Namaste! https://www.tobiehewitt.com/contact.html to join my mailing list. (Art by Joy Argento) The word “renaissance” is defined as meaning “rebirth” or “renewal.” The implication is that it follows a time of darkness. In the world today, there are many instances of darkness, characterized by ignorance and intolerance, twin negatives that germinate in the shadows of dogma and distrust. When we allow the light of the Creative Spirit to shine into the recesses in which these loathsome mindsets exist, we nurture the rebirth of acceptance of that which is based in the energy of love. As we move toward the darkest times of the year, we should strive to open our hearts to prepare for the rebirth that is ours to claim as our own.

In the moment before dawn, when the stars are still visible, though fading slowly from view, we are able to contemplate our being as a part of the larger reality. The stars and we are one. The earth beneath our feet, the barren trees casting shadows across the cold ground, and the first bird of morning raising its voice in welcome of the new day, all also share the energy that animates us upon this plane of existence. Within the All is a continuous energy that vibrates and energizes us as it informs and sustains us in the interdependent web.
