FLAVORING UP THE GARDEN

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/10

FLAVORING UP THE GARDEN. Most of the lilies in the Ormond Gardens have stopped flowering, but I see that the chives are still in bloom. Chives are also used to add flavor. Life has many flavors that can be experienced through all senses. I think of the warmth of my heart like the warmth of warm biscuits. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

A MISTY MORNING

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/09

I stood at the top of the Lupine Field after the rain had ended. The clouds still covered the mountain tops, and my heart was filled with peaceful filled gratitude. I believe, regardless of the weather, that we always have room in our hearts to find peace and gratitude. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

TAKING LIFE FOR GRANTED

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/08

We often take things in life for granted, like a summer with sun and rain. This year we are experiencing a drought, and I am grateful for recent rain. There are many things we take for granted that we should pay more attention to. Gratitude in the now may help one stay in touch. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

LIGHT PLAY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/07

As the daylight diminishes a little each day, it creates some beautiful scenes in nature like brown ferns and birch trees. So much happens in each moment that it is hard to take it all in. Our minds are often so full of thoughts that we can pass by the beauty of life, both in nature and in people. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

AN APPLE A TREE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/06

This year the cool weather in the spring caused the bees to become active after the flowers on the apple tree had passed the time for pollination. Consequently, instead of an “apple a day” the tune in my head is “An Apple a Tree”. Sometimes what we take for granted in life changes. That is the time to get creative. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

FINDING A PLACE OF PEACE AND QUIET

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/05

I am very grateful that I have a place where I can go away from the world for a little peace and quiet. I might be there for a minute or an hour. It is a place where I can connect with the invisible team that guides me on my Soul’s path. We all have a place like that even if it is just in our mind. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

CRUNCH TIME

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/04

The summer dry spell has caused a lot of leaves to dry out and on my walk to the Lupine Field every step I take crunches. For many people “crunch time” means an action is needed to move forward. That is the time to reach into our hearts to move forward with positive intentions for the greater good. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

FEELING CRABBY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/03

A year ago, the Ormond Gardens at the Center received the donation of a small crab apple tree. It blossomed this spring, and now we have some small crab apples maturing. This act of kindness was an investment that will pay joyful dividends in the future, as can other acts of kindness, wherever you are. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

WILD CARROTS ARE READY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/02

Queen Anne’s Lace is also known as wild carrots because their roots and flowers have a taste like domestic carrots. That said, I have never tried them and do not recommend them. For me they provide a feast for my eyes and my heart. There are many positive acts of kindness that can fuel my heart. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

SEASON OF CHANGE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/09/01

Fall is definitely in the air as we enter September. It is a season of change: foliage; shortening daylight; lowering temperatures; and thinking towards the seasons ahead. It is wise to approach our personal changes with positive loving perspective intending for the greater good. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THE LAST RAYS OF SUMMER

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/31

As the last rays of meteorological summer fade away, the weather is showing hints of fall. It is a time to review the accomplishments of the summer as we establish our fall and winter goals which keep us on path of our Soul’s purpose. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THOUGHTS ON LOVE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/30

There is a simple sign in the middle of the Orchard that says “love”. It is a place where people love to walk and often pause to meditate. Someone laid a pet to rest there a few years ago. It was a place they loved to visit. This sign inspires people to think about different meanings of love. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

IT WAS A HAIL OF A DAY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/29

The day started out expecting another drought plagued August, when about noon the sky opened up and we experienced a deluge of rain and pea-sized hail. It was, in this case, a delightful surprise. When days go in a negative direction, at least, we have our heartfelt connection to help guide us. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

MATURING NICELY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/28

The milkweed seed pods growing in the Orchard are maturing nicely. The butterflies enjoyed their blossoms, and soon the seeds for next year will be scattered about. As people age, their youthful thoughts can mature nicely, especially when they are filtered through their heart’s love. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

STAKE OUT

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/27

I recently staked out the place where I plan to create a special memorial seating area behind the Center. The planning has been going on in my mind for several months and now the stakes are set to guide me where to build the base. Life planning often goes through several steps before we set the stakes for the intended results. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THERE'S A HOLE IN THE WOODS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/26

Leaving the Orchard, there appears to be a hole in the woods. It is actually a section of trail that is shaded by pine trees. My mind automatically starts to enter the hole as it reaches out to connect with my Source waiting for me in the vast Cosmos beyond. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

THINKING AHEAD

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/25

I often tell people I am always done and never finished. I like to think ahead on potential goals for the land such as creating new hiking trails, as well as personal goals for myself. Many of these future goals may change with time. Thinking is the first step in creating future realities www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

PREVIEW OF DAYS TO COME

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/24

All of a sudden, the weather felt like fall, even though summer is not over yet. The days are getting shorter and the evenings cooler. Summer will be back for a short time. In life we like to preview what will take place in our minds before we get there. I like to think of my goals as future flexible concepts. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

A BIG PRESENCE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/23

The common tansy, also known as golden buttons, is new to the garden this year and has grown to be over six feet tall. It is a big presence, and one would expect it would have big flowers, but they are very small. I think of people that think they are important and have a big ego presence that doesn’t have a lot to offer behind it. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show

RESURRECTING THE RESURRECTION LILY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/08/22

The last lily to bloom at the Center is often called the resurrection lily. For several years it bloomed outside of the garden and was transplanted more recently in a different place. They can be finicky, and I just discovered two of them in bloom. We resurrect a lot of things in life. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain Support the show
