Path of the Sun

The Ancient Egyptians believed that the Milky Way was the River of Life. The Milky Way, from the perspective of Earth, is the path of the sun’s motion on the celestial sphere, as we rotate on our axis. This pathway is called the ecliptic. The constellations along the ecliptic, encompass our known 12, plus 2 additional ones. They are: Aquarius, Aries, Cancer, Capricorn, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Pisces, Sagittarius, Scorpius, Taurus and Virgo. The other two constellations along the ecliptic are Orion (the Hunter) and Ophiuchus (the Serpent Handler/Healer).

The Milky Way or River of Life is believed to be the path that the soul/spirit travels as it makes its way through the underworld and into Immortal Life. This powerful river creates many transformations for the spirit along the way. The constellations are mythological stories by many ancient civilizations that, I believe, were created to document the perils and celebrations of the Spirit from darkness into Light!

The Nile River in Egypt and the ancient pyramidal structures alongside it were created to document the celestial heavens above…..So below, on Earth.

The next time you see a beautiful, flowing river, don’t forget to think of the river above your head. Because everything on earth is a microcosm of the heavens above, try to observe your life as a mirror of the grand design above you.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“See your life as a river, ever flowing, ever creating and forever one with the All.” tc

An Artist's Hands


Have you ever watched an artist paint? The fluid motion of their hands as they move over the canvas, magically, draws out a stunning picture from the bland background creating a true work of art.

Similarly, a skilled doctor can manipulate parts of the outer body by pressing and pulling with their hands and fingers to help heal a person, astonishingly, without ever seeing the inner-dynamics that need care.

The knowing hands of a trained mechanic, tinkering and fiddling with parts and pieces of an engine is able to incredibly detect and solve problems in a vehicle that oftentimes, lies deep within the undercarriage of an engine.

Whatever your skills and talents are, be proud of what you are able to do. Comparing yourself to anybody else is a waste of time! We are all given different and unique abilities. A Doctor’s skills are of no use when your car breaks down. The understanding of the present governmental laws by a Lawyer is useless when frying chicken for dinner. And, a Therapist’s knowledge of human behavior is inadequate when piloting an airplane. Be proud of what you are able to contribute and help others anytime your gift is needed.

Remember, what you DO is not who you ARE. It is simply your endowment to the universe.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

“Create something beautiful in your life with the talents that you have been gifted.” tc
