Spring comes in fits and starts and as much as we want it to be here now, Mother Nature makes her seasonal transition in her own time.  Isn’t it strange how the first snowfall of the year is tranquil and beautiful, but the last one makes us roll our eyes and lament?  Nothing has changed in nature, however, the snow falls in the same way and for the same reason that it fell in the beginning of winter.  Only our perspective has changed.  We have only to remember that we have the power to change it back!  We can enjoy the last snowfall of the year as much as the first by simply choosing to change our minds.  Human beings are blessed with tremendous power, the power to choose how we perceive life.

Another perception we can change is that we are running out of time.  We’re running out of time to get things accomplished, time to have all the experiences we want to have, time to be with our children before they are grown. We must learn to relax into our Eternal selves.  A Tibetan yogi who meditated for fifty years said that in his years of meditation he had seen all his previous lives – he had seen the dismantling of his body and the birth of a new form over and over and over.  He laughed at the so-called seriousness of death.  Consciousness is eternal and we have forever to experience all we desire.  There is no need to let ourselves be bullied by our man-made concept of Time.  Like our perception of snowfalls, our perception of time can change if we simply choose to change it.

The truth is that spring will come again in divine order, and that you have all the time in the world.  Relax!  You can stop what you are doing right now and enjoy a good, deep breath.  You can Live from the perspective of your Eternal self, starting now.
