EYE CATCHING

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/30

A tiny flash of blue caught my eye as I wandered about the Ormond Gardens. I noted several ground covers that in time will cover the soil with a beautiful blanket. Most people have something about them that is eye catching to me that I want to learn about. Life is all about discovery and sharing. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

WATCHING THE WEATHER

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/29

I must admit that I am a weather watcher. Every time I try to listen to a forecast my mind drifts on to my inner thoughts. Actually, it is one of my best ways to experience self-hypnosis. So, I prepare for the weather the best I can by keeping an eye on it. I do the same thing with life. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

I WISHED FOR AN IRIS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/28

I had been thinking about how great it would be to have some iris plants in the Ormond Gardens at the Center, and I could hardly believe my eyes when I found one in full bloom. Derek had planted it last fall. Wishes can come true, especially when they come through your heart. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/27

Over the years we have used different material to make signs to help guide people visiting the land. Now we have found the best ones yet. People have signs guiding them through life if they take the time to recognize and act on them. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

MEMORIAL DAY MEMORIES

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/26

Lilacs blooming on Memorial Day bring back special memories for me from my youth when I marched in the hometown parade carrying a small flag to decorate a veteran’s grave. Afterwards, lilacs would be placed in the lake on the edge of the cemetery, a firing squad would fire three times. and taps would be played. It still lingers in my mind. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

NATURE'S ROYALTY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/25

I consider the lady slipper to be nature’s royal flower. There are some people who want to be treated like royalty in a world where they are not. I wonder if they were born with a royal memory from the past. I think one can keep a royal spirit without the expectation to be treated that way in this life. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

LIVING WITH NATURE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/24

When we built our home years ago there were only a few houses on the road. Nature was and still is all around us. We have learned to adapt to the weather and the wild animals. Wherever we live, we also need to adapt to human nature to allow us to be in harmony with our soul’s purpose. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE PERFECT SNOWBALL

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/24

The viburnum (or snowball bush) at the Center is in full bloom and fits perfectly into a corner of the Ormond Gardens. It reminds me of people that are now putting their life experiences to good use as they honor love and gratitude in their hearts to add to their garden of life. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

NOT THE COMMON VARIETY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/22

Years ago, my sister gave me some not-so-common pink lilies-of-the-valley that have spread into a beautiful patch. I think of people that are not so common and are often misunderstood or bullied. They usually have special abilities once others take the time to know and understand them. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

FULL UP

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/21

Several years ago, a friend gave us some flowering water plants for the little frog pond at the Center, and now they have spread to the point that the surface is filled up with blooms. There is no room for any more. Fortunately, even though our hearts may be full of gratitude, there is always room to receive and share with others. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE LITTLE CRABAPPLE TREE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/20

Last fall we were given a crabapple tree to place in the Ormond Gardens at the Center. It not only survived the harsh winter, but it is also flowering this spring. It has inspired more flowering shrubs such as forsythias and mock orange to be planted on the bank for future beauty. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE INVASION OF THE LILIES

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/19

The lilies of the valley are in bloom. We now have hundreds of them spread across a portion of our lawn. You could call it a welcome invasion by a small fragrant plant that began with only a few. Kindness can spread as a friendly invasion from a simple beginning to hundreds of people. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

UNFORGETTABLE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/18

Part of our yard is now a carpet of blue forget-me-nots. They all came from a few plants’ cast-away seeds several years ago. People like you, out of the kindness of your heart, create unforgettable acts that continue to grow as they cast seeds of love each year. Thank you! www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

FINDING A HOME

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/17

A few years ago I discovered a couple of small flowering trees at the lower edge of the Lupine Field that I believe to be English Hawthorns. I’m not sure how the seeds found a home there, but they are welcome. Many people are looking for homes. Possibly the first step is to find room in one’s soul for a heart filled with love and gratitude. That may lead to manifesting the right place to lay down one’s head. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

GROWING WILD

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/16

Every year there are a few rhodora wild shrubs that produce beautiful pink flowers close to the old cemetery. They are so small that some years I miss seeing them, but not this year. I have no idea how long they have been there. I am reminded of thoughts that grow wild. Some are positive and probably a lot of them are negative. Sometime even plants growing wild need to be pruned back in order to grow other ones. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

CREEPING ALONG

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/15

Several years ago we planted a few ground phlox, and over time they have spread, slowly creeping along until now when we enjoy a beautiful blanket of blue in May. Acts of kindness, when continued over time, can have the same positive effect on people’s environment. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

HOW DO YOU MAKE A WISE CHOICE?

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/14

A phoebe has decided to build its nest on the light at the freshly painted entrance to the Center. I am not sure if that was a wise decision. I will try not to disrupt it. People often make life decisions from fear or passion without taking the time to decide if it was wise or not. It is good to step back to consider the potential outcome of the choice. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

BACK FOR ANOTHER YEAR

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/13

When the periwinkle vines with their blue flowers were first planted at the base of a stone retaining wall, I thought they were annuals, but they come back and continue to spread every year. We develop habits, both positive and negative, that come back at specific times, every year. We can change the negative ones and embrace the positive ones and share them with others. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE ONLY ONE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/12

There is only one blue grape hyacinth blooming in the Ormond Gardens this year. I am grateful it is there to provide a balance to other colors. I am grateful for all the people that have the courage to be the only ones to make a positive change in the life of someone else. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

IMPACTS COME I ALL SIZES

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/05/11

An act of kindness does not have to be large to have a big impact. The tiny white bluets at the Center caught my attention recently. Soon they will disappear, and larger flowers will take over. Right now, they have a big impact of gratitude on me. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show
