BEAUTY IN A RAINY DAY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/22

BEAUTY IN A RAINY DAY. A rainy day during peak foliage season really helps the colors pop. A gloomy day becomes much more vibrant with the wet-colored leaves. When life feels gloomy, finding something to be grateful for may brighten up your world a little. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

CAPTURING THE MOMENT

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/21

Recently my son was at the top of the lupine field at sunset and captured some beautiful pictures. It was a moment in time that I would have missed had it not been for his efforts. There are many moments in life we miss because we are focused on other things. My intention is to be aware of moments that warm my heart with gratitude for experiencing them. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

THE PLANT NOBODY WANTS

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/20

The Barbary may look beautiful, especially in the fall when the branches are filled with red berries. It also has sharp spikes that keep the deer away from munching on it. With nothing to hold it in check, it can take over the landscape. People have invasive thoughts that are hard to clear without the feeling of unconditional love to change the soul’s landscape. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

THE SOFT SIDE OF FALL

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/19

We often think of fall as having colder nights and shortening days. Yet there is a soft side to the season with its pastel Impressionist moments like small red crabapples with an out-of-focus background. Many people do not like to show their soft sides, feeling the need to protect themselves, but we all have soft sides in our hearts. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

THE DROUGHT CONTINUES

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/18

Half of our state is in a severe drought. Outside fires are banned and a lot of wells are going dry. Unfortunately, as far as the weather goes, we are at the mercy of Nature. When it seems as if our minds have dried up with creative ideas, we can at least think of something we are grateful for and trust that our Source will prime our mental pumps with positivity. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

THE LAST TO CHANGE

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/17

Every year the leaves outside our house and the Mountain are the last to change colors in the fall. We often see the last of the leaf peepers stop and take photos. In life, some people will be the first to change and change too soon while others will resist and change too late because they weren’t paying attention to the climate. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

READY FOR A WINTER'S SLEEP

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/16

The lupine Field and the Orchard have been cut and are now ready for a long winter’s sleep. For many of us, the shortened days and colder nights are also creating changes in our habits, like wanting more comfort food and less physical activity. It is easy to change without being aware of how it is affecting our minds and bodies until we approach spring. We can adjust when we are aware. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

PASSING THE TEST

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/15

I finally got to test out the temporary bench on the meditation spot I have been working on. It started in my mind over the winter, and I physically worked on it this summer and fall. It works and has an amazing feeling. Life is filled with goal setting and assessing the results as we set our intentions to be in tune with our Soul’s purpose. www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

AN AMAZING END TO AN INCREDIBLE DAY

Message from the Mountain ·

2025/10/14

Did you ever have one of those days where several loose ends all came together at the same time? That happened to us recently, and to top it all off, nature gave us a beautiful sunset to add to the gratitude in my heart. I know that several Forces were working together to make it possible, and my intention is to have the same experience every day!!! I wish the same for you! www.michaelhathaway.com/message-from-the-mountain.html Support the show

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

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
