We decided to go for a hike this weekend since sunny warm and hot weather has finally arrived so we made a decision of where to go on Friday and executed our plan yesterday morning. The hike has become a popular one and since we have a fairly casual pace we had to give way to many individuals and groups also taking advantage of the great weather, weather that we haven't seen since the fall. And after hours of trying to enjoy nature without human sounds and or loud music we arrived at the most popular viewpoint and rest area that everyone stops at, the goal of the hike for many.
Although the views from Dies Vista 10 (see photo below) are great we felt like we were in a busy restaurant or food court and only stopped to regain a bit of energy and enjoy the view before heading off to complete this sometimes gruelling yet enjoyable hike. Luckily, we found ourselves alone several times and could simply soak up the beauty and energy of nature for awhile before someone came along and broke the spell. It's an awesome experience to hear not only the silence of nature but also the intimate voices of her as well. Whether it be from the plants, trees, dirt, birds, insects or the Spirit of Nature herself our time alone and along this trail is an experience we will never forget. We've got this trail in our sights for a future hike perhaps during a weekday to ensure a better opportunity to be alone on this trail more often than not.
We hiked the Sendero Dies Vistas Trail out at Buntzen Lake. We've always talked about it but never managed to ever do it for some reason but thankfully yesterday was the day and what an energising and uplifting hike it was. We were physically tired, exhausted even but spiritually energised and full of life.
Spirit Is and today's Wildwood Tarot Energy is "2 The Seer: The time has come to focus your power and let it flow through you. Many dreams or desires related to the creative emotional process are ready to be applied in your day-to-day life and you must give vent to those hidden or suppressed longings. This may also relate to healing, sexual relationships or partnerships. Now the manifestation of inner spiritual or esoteric insights into your practical and physical daily life will bring profound rewards and results. It is a sign of maturity. The Seer also relates to creative impulses such as art, mechanical skills and crafts, and the joy of bringing pleasure and knowledge to others."
As happened yesterday with "3 The Green Woman", today, "2 The Seer" is again filling me with the energy and desires of nature, of my purpose and the success of pursuing and manifesting my purpose here in the physical realms. "2 The Seer" is here to help me focus my power and let it flow through me. Our hike yesterday grounded me with the Earth, cleared my mind and spirit and lifted me to new levels of spiritual understanding and a renewed sense of spiritual belonging and living.
Thank You Spirit.
Sunday, September 6th, 2015. We decided to go for a hike yesterday morning and got on the Bunzten Lake Trail around 11 to 11:30am. It was great being out in nature, the ground was damp, the lake overflowing but the air was cool, fresh, clean and cleansing. Nearing the other end of the lake we ran into a couple of friends coming from the other way. We chatted for a bit before going our separate ways. As our friends did we decided to turn around neat the end of the lake foregoing a complete walk around the lake as it was after 12:30 and our tummies were asking for food. We were in the car and on the road and soon at our chosen eatery, Cora's in no time at all.
After satiating our hunger we hit Real Canadian Superstore and completed our weekly grocery shopping before heading home do complete few chores and then relaxed and talked about what to do during our next week of vacation in early October.
So after some discussion and a great suggestion from the partner we've decided to hit the west coast of Vancouver Island for that week with maybe a quick detour to the Pemberton area so we can finally do the Joffre Lakes hike we've talked about for years. Tofino, Long Beach, Ucluelet, and Pacific Rim National Park are on the radar screen for our stay. Having said that though, I think we'll be staying near Tofino at the Bella Pacifica Campground or possibly the Crystal Cove Resort. Bella Pacifica is likely the spot as it remains to be a more natural setting than the coiffed look of the resort and even though it's in a more natural state full hookups are available and this is what we want for our RV camping adventure.
It being such a happy, carefree and loving day yesterday I awoke feeling the same way and today's visiting Tarot reflects this, "Ten of Vessels, Happiness: With the deep and profound calm of true and lasting happiness flowing through your life, a sense of homecoming, safety and beauty shines from an individual that lights others' lives and is infectious to everyone. Healing rays of affection and warmth radiate from your inner core. For those in love, the joy is in the sharing of tender and intimate support and understanding. Giving love and seeing that love reflected in the eyes of the one you care for is the most powerful and healing magic known to mankind. For those who thrive on happiness derive from the fulfillment of ambitions and life-goals, happiness is fueled by a sense of affirmation of self-worth and ideals. Being effective and productive in the practical world brings a sense of stability which can be shared and used as a vehicle to motivate and inspire others. No greater act of humanity can be achieved than by showing the way and opening a person's heart to the possibility of happiness. However much we love, however much we achieve, we empower ourselves to be emotionally alive by accepting that the circuit of life requires giving, as well as receiving. As we revel in the bliss of the journey, we remember with gratitude the patience, wisdom, and synchronicity that brought that blessing into our lives."
We must always remember that the true fountain of happiness rises from within us. Lasting happiness will only come from the very core of our being. Don't seek it outside of yourself for it will only be fleeting and lead to disappointment and a continual search for its fleeting and temporary existence. Happiness from within is attained from being true to yourself and will radiate to all that cross your path.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
