CANDY

        Candy seems an unlikely subject for a spiritual site, but it makes for 'sweet talk'. Some people have a sweet tooth and like candy of almost any kind and some rarely are inclined to it or miss it. To some it's part of the food chain which is nice to eat, and to others it is a treat, a reward in a sense. It evokes different attitudes based on the frame in which it is thought of and considered. Everything in life can be symbolic. When you think of it, we all view things somewhat differently and yet there is a common reaction to some things.

        A star can hear. Yes, you read that right. It is a sounding board, a maze of light points or light energy that circulates and energizes in an unending flow of patterns. The "hearing" is what comes from outer reaches of space. It can be from other planets, other places or from what appears to be voids in space. These patterns of energy enter the sound range and become enmeshed and sometimes entangled with the patterns which are already established. They can become a swirl of energy fields that can cause harmony or can cause a sense of discord though it is not like that of musical tones.

        To many who like candy, it is a fulfillment of a desire for something sweet, or it has a particular taste that gives pleasure. It is a mini reward, a moment of sweetness because it is pleasurable, and that brings us to the symbolism. Momentary sweetness in life is necessary. This is not to say that we all consider sweetness in the same way. It may be that a quiet moment of peace is 'sweet'. It may be that seeing a friend and spending time together is 'sweet'. Parents who enjoy their children can find many moments that give satisfaction.

        Life is a tough road many times. It has many rough spots and many trials. It would be well to consider for a moment what can bring a sense of a moment of pleasure in your life. Perhaps it is taking a moment to eat something pleasurable, but what is it that makes for a moment of satisfaction for your spirit? Connection might be something to think on and then go from there to connection with what and when and how. Silence is not usually thought of as a moment of pleasure, but it is a noisy planet and many activities so it is a moment that should be tried to see what it does for the spirit.

        So many work hard, really hard. There are so many who give so much of themselves each day that it is inspiring to observe. Yet we all deserve moments of sweetness. We all need a bit of pleasure. Too often in our desire to reach a certain goal or certain financial level, we forget to take a moment for our own self, our own spirit. Some even feel guilty if they are not working, working, working. Treat yourself, have a moment of sweetness - look around you at the people and places and environments that can give you pleasure. Life was meant to be enjoyed.
