Perchance to dream...

The Dream Studio, a small simple building nestled amidst a growth of trees and shrubs, was built upon an old foundation found by the director of O.A.C. He built the walls, putting large windows on every wall and a sliding glass door, so that one can sit inside on the carpeted floor, or the soft, pillowed bed and meditate on the beauty of nature that surrounds you.

Lizards visit frequently, and appropriately, as they represent the shadow side of reality, where dreams are reviewed before manifested into the physical world.

Inside, beside the bed, stands an easel, and a small table with books that were published at the same time as the foundation was poured (I believe it was marked 1930). Candle holders and a brass plate sits on the floor where one can burn candles and light incense, to further create a meditative space.

The last few days I have been spending a couple hours in the afternoon to read and watch the birds and animals as they go about their day. It is a powerful spot, where creativity has the potential to be courted and nurtured.

Fall into Winter

This is the view I woke up to this morning. I have officially experienced the effects of living in the north land! I remember as a child living in Vermont that I felt enormously blessed if it didn't snow before Halloween. There was nothing like working several months on a costume only to have it destroyed in the snow or freeze while wearing it.

Fortunately for the kiddies (and those young at heart) an Indian Summer is being forecast, which means temperatures in the 60s and perhaps higher for Halloween and the days following.

This is one of the things about nature that I absolutely love. She always keeps you on your toes and makes you remember that nothing about Her can be left for granted. She is much much bigger than me or you or any one person and for that reason, She should be respected. She is our mother and our keeper. She blesses us with life, food and shelter. She also takes it all away, sometimes in an instant. I believe this is one of the important lessons the autumn season teaches us. A lesson that is important to meditate on. I am going to have a cup of tea and ponder...
