A WORK IN PROGRESS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/04

I have really enjoyed the Ormond Gardens this year”, and I realize that is still a work in progress with many more additions anticipated. However, “work is a heavy word, and I prefer to use “play” instead. There is something lighter when we think about playing with what we do each day. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

SUMMER'S GOLDEN PERIOD

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/03

I know that when the goldenrod have begun to bloom that we are entering the golden period of summer, a time to set one’s intentions to enjoy every day, to reflect and begin to plan for autumn and beyond. I set my intentions each day to be a channel for love from the Source. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

WHEN COMMON ISN'T COMMON

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/02

The common tansy is a flowering plant that grows up to six feet tall. It is an imposing presence in the Ormond Garden. That is not common to me. Many people seem to live just a common life to those who do not know them. I believe that everyone has a uniqueness about them that may not be noticed. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

A CLUMP OF EVENING PRIMROSE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/01

A couple of years ago I put some fill around a couple of boulders on the edge of the parking area at the Center. This year there is a clump of tall yellow flowers growing there. When we sow seeds of positivity with purpose, it could produce a clump of others joining in on the goal. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE OLD BARREL HAS NEW LIFE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/31

Lori recently planted the old barrel in Ormond Gardens with some annuals. It reminds me of people that may have stale old views of life, but always have the opportunity to change negative thoughts to revitalize their lives. My intention is to hang out with young people of all ages to stay fresh. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

IT'S TIME TO TAKE TIME

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/30

The blossoms of the double orange lilies signal that it is time to spend a moment, an hour, a day, or a vacation during the height of the summer season. It is good for the mind, body, and spirit and a chance to let nature clear away all the negative thoughts that may have been invading our minds. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

A DRAWER FULL OF ZIPPERS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/29

Wouldn’t it be great if we all had a drawer full of zippers to put over our mouths when we were about to say something that might be taken the wrong way? Sometime even with the best of positive intentions, the words just slip out. At least we always have the option of trying to mend the rip. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/28

When I looked at a small rock surrounded by moss, I saw what appeared to be an image, and I wondered what I was seeing and what others might see. Many times we look for something specific that influences how we see things. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

A FAN OF LILIES

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/27

I have been a fan of daylilies for as long as I can remember. Each blossom lasts a day, and the plant usually only flowers for a week or so. Now there are varieties that bloom longer. I am also a fan of life and set my intentions to be grateful for at least one thing a day, including, whichever lily is in bloom at the moment. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

HANDS ON

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/26

I recently captured a photo of Derek as he was working in the Ormond Gardens. He is a master of creating a beautiful flow of energy throughout the landscape and he does most of it using just hand tools. Some people are “hands on” and some are “hands off”. Knowing how to find a balance for the best of the greater good seems to be the key. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE WHOLE FLOCK

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/25

The hens and chickens have continued to spread out at the top of a retaining wall at the Center, the big ones sending out tentacles spawning new growth. Positive people shine their light of love which may change lives which in in turn brings more to a movement that just may change the world. The flock is growing. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE NEED FOR MORE HOUSING

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/24

We discovered recently that the fairy population on the Mountain is expanding as there is now a second residence established on the old stump close by to the first. It is my hope that there will be positive planning for more housing to suit the needs of both people and Nature. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

A NEW DAY, A NEW DISCOVERY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/23

I set my intentions to discover something new each day. This summer there seems to be something new each day in the Ormond Gardens, like a different colored cone flower. Being a student of life can help us navigate our Soul’s path. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

YEARNING FOR AN OLD FASHIONED SUMMER

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/22

I was reminded of summers of my youth as I enjoyed a recent sunset; all I had to do was play in the water or ballfield. The world of today is a lot more complicated, but it is the world we live in. My goal is to bring old fashioned values forward and update them to the present. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

DOING ITS JOB

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/21

The Echinacea/coneflower was doing its job by supplying nectar for the yellow patterned butterfly who in turn was pollinating the flower, and both gave Ormond Garden visitors a feeling of gratitude. When you live your lives with positivity, you are doing part of your soul’s job. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE FLOWER ON THE PLANT MAY SEEM SMALL

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/20

One of the transplants in the Ormond Gardens has grown quite tall, so I anticipated large flowers. However, the Lucifer plant has small flowers. Some people appear to have a large presence but may be trying to cover up and hide an inner weakness. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

SPIDERWEBS IN THE GRASS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/19

Sometimes, after wet overnight dew, we see spiderwebs in the grass. Spiderwebs of all types are interesting designs. Air can flow through them and yet they are strong enough to capture the intended prey. People use webbing for its flexible strength. Flexible webs of positivity just might catch some new recruits. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE DAYS OF SUMMER ARE SLIPPING BY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/18

We have passed the midpoint of July as the days of summer slip by. I am reminded by the different blooming daylilies to pay attention to every day with gratitude as I wander about Nature following the path of my Soul. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

IT JUST HAPPENS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/17

Sometimes positive things happen in life without us knowing exactly how. A few years ago, I noticed a tall blue flower growing in the Lupine Field. I’m not sure how the seeds first got there, but I am grateful, and so are the butterflies. Actually, I set my intentions every day for positive things to just happen. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

SPREADING DOGBANE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/07/16

There is a weed-type plant in one location at the Center covered with tiny pinkish white flowers attracting butterflies and other insects. I suspect that by its name, “spreading dogbane”; it is now found in many flower gardens. Spreading positivity in the world is a good thing while spreading negativity is not. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show
