The lavender plants are now blooming. Their smell is a favorite of many people, and when I ask if someone can imagine the smell when they take a deep breath, I watch them become more relaxed. If you can imagine a smell that is positive and relaxing, you can slow your mind down and relax a little more.

I am always on the lookout for more and different flowers that can be transplanted to the Ormond Gardens to round out the color during the season. I am always on the lookout for the abilities people have that they do not see to help them develop confidence and use them for others.

Every once in a while, my eyes will catch a bright flash of glitter as I walk the trails on the mountain. It is mica, a thin component of some of the rocks on the land. It is the basis of isinglass, used in the windows of wood and early gas stoves. We have a form of mental isinglass that can help shield and protect our minds from things that can disturb our thinking.

There is an abundance of milkweed in the Orchard and Lupine Field this year to provide nourishment for the butterflies, bees, and birds. It also provides me food for thought to consider on my Soul’s path.

The blackberry bush was laden down with green berries, promising a sweet harvest in a few weeks. It is possible that birds may get to them first. A lot of people feel the stress of expectation as they are laden with potential abilities.

The other day we saw two flashes of red amongst the foliage in the Lupine Field. Upon closer investigation we found wild wood lilies, a rarity here on the mountainside. My mind turned to the joy of finding a talent someone might try to hide because they thought it was nothing special. I know differently.

When I was greeted by an orange glory flower in the Ormond Gardens, I could not help smiling and told myself it was a glorious day. Actually it is my intention to find something glorious every day and then share what I am feeling with others.

Some of the transplants in the Ormond Gardens came with more than one variety in a single scoop. One of them looks like a daisy with a different center. I was reminded that we often lump people together as being the same, but with a closer look, it is possible to see that everyone is a little different from each other.
