The Lighthouse-Guidance

The Ebb and Flow of Our Lives Through the Eyes of Metaphors

There are times in our life, when metaphors help us to make sense of how we are being guided by spirit to be the best we can be. In the month of April, I will be exploring the metaphors of my life and hopefully, you will find connections to your own life or to your own spiritual path. Or you will share with us the metaphors that guide your spirit, your muse, your way of being and way of knowing in this life we all share, on this earth we all call mother, on this journey we are all privy to.

The Lighthouse-Guidance
Like a lighthouse
Standing bold against the gray
Shining through the night
To warn of dangers in our way. (author unknown)

A lighthouse reminds me of those times in my life when I am a beacon of light offering guidance and hope to others. It also serves to remind me of when I need a beacon of light and am looking for guidance and hope. Sometimes I find it in individuals and other times, I find it is spirit. No matter where the light comes from, like a lighthouse, we all need to be warned of the dangers, to have a way to illuminate our path, calm our fears, and encourage exploration of the soul.



Los Muertitos

"The leader, like the lighthouse, encourages the exploration of the uncharted territories within the soul."

You are a leader in your profession, in your home, or among your friends, if you are offering hope and encouragement for others to explore the uncharted territories of their souls. If you are helping others discover their legacy, you are leaving your own legacy of helping others to be the best they can be. If you are illuminating the path that will enable others to walk with spirit and be one with their word, then you are a luminary. By the same token, if there is someone in your life who is helping you to be guided by spirit and offering you a safe harbor, then you are truly blessed.

When are you in need of a guiding light?
When are you illuminating the path for others?

Con un pan y cafecito,
Seguimos adelante,
