FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/13

As I stood in the middle of the orchard admiring the view, I had a feeling of accomplishment and relief that the mowing had been done, and this part of the land was ready for winter. I also knew there was more to be done and finishing this part of my seasonal goal gave me the confidence to move on to my next goal. It is good to celebrate what has been done for a brief moment. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

LIMBLESS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/12

Recently we met a couple walking back to their vehicle after going for a hike on our land. They told us about a tall pine that had fallen and blocked part of the way, so they brought a hand saw and cut all the limbs to clear the trail again. We want to thank them and all the other hikers that clip, cut and clear the trails for others to enjoy. Acts of kindness do matter! Thank you! www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

STEP BY STEP

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/11

I learned a long time ago when climbing mountains that if I went too fast, I would have trouble reaching the top. Now I set a big goal that has many small steps before I get there, such as the meditation spot dedicated to Lisa. Now the stonework is about finished, Lori has worked her magic planting some beautiful flowers in front. The result is much more than I could have imagined, step by step. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

LIFE IS FULL OF MYSTERIES

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/10

Doing some grading behind the Center recently, I found a small piece of what I thought was the tractor in the dirt. It had some green paint and so I just assumed I had broken something. My son identified it as an old fishing reel. How did that wind up there? I may never know. Life is full of mysteries that keep my mind busy. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

LITTLE PLEASURES

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/09

People come to the mountains to see the fall foliage and often miss the little visual pleasures, like yellow ferns bathed in sunlight. There are little pleasures to be found in people, like a friendly smile or word when our minds are preoccupied. Offering small positive acts can make a big difference to others. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

YEARLY RITUALS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/08

My year is divided up into what I call rituals, such as the annual cutting of the Lupine Field and Orchard to prepare them for next spring. It is a spiritual experience, spending time on the lawn tractor driving around in circles. For many, holidays are a part of the rituals of life, providing the opportunity to experience heart felt gratitude. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

WINDING DOWN

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/07

As the fall foliage is reaching its peak and the nights are getting longer, the feel of summer is winding down. The cooler and leafless days of autumn are setting in. In life when things seem to be winding down, there is always something else positive to discover, either old or new, if we are open to such discovery. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/06

The hills are alive with the colors of fall foliage. People flock into nature during the couple of weeks the leaves are at their peak. With heart-felt gratitude it is possible to have this incredible refreshing of our souls any time of the year by intending to find it in many aspects of our lives. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

TAKE A HIKE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/05

I usually take a hike on the Center trails from the top of the mountain while others like to make the climb up from the Center’s parking lot. Our goal is to make it possible for everyone to experience nature and the beautiful views. Experiencing Nature, wherever you are, is a wonderful way to rejuvenate your soul. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

OBSERVING LIFE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/04

I consider myself to be an observer of life. One of my favorite places to do that is up on the mountain where I can hear the distant sounds from the valley below. Here I can reflect on what I have seen and experienced in life and Nature. My intention is to be able to share what I have observed in a positive light. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

PEAK PERFORMANCE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/04

The foliage here is now at its peak. Nature is putting on an amazing show. People often strive to achieve peak performance in sports, as well as the arts and other areas where they can measure success in their lives. Peak performances are hard to maintain unless one sets their intentions to do the best they can supported by heart-based love and gratitude. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROAD

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/03

There is something about the fall season and travelling country roads that brings me back in time. I imagine what it might have been like to travel them a hundred years ago. I believe we all have places where we can pause for a moment and rejuvenate our minds, bodies, and souls. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

HURRY SLOWLY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/02

For some reason, the leaves on our trees are some of the last to change, while others across the valley are almost at peak foliage. The calendar has changed to October as the days rush by. An old friend once asked me for some help, and I asked how soon she wanted me. Her reply was, “Hurry slowly”. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

WEATHER EFFECT

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/01

According to the news the beautiful sunset we recently experienced was caused by two hurricanes off the coast of Florida and the Carolinas. We are constantly being affected by weather, but also situations in our lives affect us almost daily. If we pause and connect to our hearts, we can change the effects on our minds. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

REFLECTIONS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/30

A blanket of fog covered the lake when we awoke at the family cottage. The small island close to the foot of the lake seemed to be floating in the water creating a peaceful scene. I sat in a chair and did some reflecting of my own for the past, present and future. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE RED IN BIRCH BARK

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/29

I do not usually think of birch bark having any red color, but I recently noticed some. I believe it is a time when the old bark is giving way to the new growth of the tree. There are a lot of things that we can miss in life when our mind is not taking in all that is happening around us. My goal is to have curiosity like a child. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

STILL BEAUTIFUL

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/28

Most of the wildflowers, sometimes called weeds, have gone to seed here on the mountainside. Still, many of their arrangements, before they fly in the wind, are beautiful. I enjoy them all season long. Regardless of their age, people still have beautiful positive thoughts and actions that are worth sharing. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

TIME TO FLY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/27

The fibrous seeds in the milkweed pods are now setting sail in the winds of autumn. Many of them will find fertile soil for new milkweed to grow next spring. Fall is a great time for the goals we have been setting in our minds to fly into positive actions in search of finding the right soil of life to help them continue to grow. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

RELEAVING THE DEFICIT

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/26

The landscape here in the mountains has experienced a major drought this summer. Finally, a little payment on that debt has been delivered with some drops of liquid gold. It is very easy in life to become burdened down with many kinds of debt. Just as a single drop of water, one step at a time can bring about relief. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

TIME TO RELAX

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/25

I was recently given a sturdy portable reclining chair that I could take outside to relax in nature for a few moments. It is a wonderful way to rejuvenate my mind and connect with my Soul. I can also take this experience in my mind anywhere I go and reconnect with the feeling anytime I want. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show
