00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:19.880
AnnouncerJoin Epic Adventure Seekers and level up your game with your host, reality magician, Ali Bierman.
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:29.220
Rev. Ali Bierman Well, here I am wrapping up season three of Let's Get Metaphysical, Connecting Heart and Mind.
00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:31.000
Rev. Ali Bierman I'm so glad you joined me here.
00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:47.900
Rev. Ali Bierman I am Reverend Ali Bierman, and I am taking you on a tour of my neighborhood because it's springtime here in the Northeast United States, which means there are gorgeous flowering bushes and trees and flowers everywhere.
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:50.840
Rev. Ali Bierman And I live someplace where it's quite beautiful.
00:00:51.220 --> 00:00:56.480
Rev. Ali Bierman And I thought that's the kind of energy to close three incredible years.
00:00:56.900 --> 00:01:12.220
Rev. Ali Bierman And when I come to you in May, it's going to be the same show, but not exactly the same show, because the universe said, let's go down a different path in metaphysics.
00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:20.760
Rev. Ali Bierman Spring is such a magic time of year here.
00:01:21.500 --> 00:01:26.880
Rev. Ali Bierman Well, I guess everywhere, but I like living someplace with different seasons.
00:01:27.160 --> 00:01:45.720
Rev. Ali Bierman And what happens here in spring, I'm in the Northeast United States, what happens here is all the green starts coming out again, and it's the most spectacular green, up in the trees, up and down in the grass.
00:01:46.420 --> 00:02:02.480
Rev. Ali Bierman It's almost a chartreuse, depending on how the sunlight's hitting it, and it just kind of takes you in to its energy.
00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:07.300
Rev. Ali Bierman So I'm going to take you a little bit around the neighborhood.
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:21.920
Rev. Ali Bierman I don't know what kind of tree or bush this is, has pretty flowers on it, and going down the yellows of Forsythia, and a lot of Forsythias around at this time.
00:02:22.540 --> 00:02:26.200
Rev. Ali Bierman This is what is so powerful that I want you to see.
00:02:27.140 --> 00:02:30.880
Rev. Ali Bierman It's an old neighborhood, lots of stone walls.
00:02:32.200 --> 00:02:34.400
Rev. Ali Bierman And what happens on the stone walls?
00:02:36.060 --> 00:02:44.620
Rev. Ali Bierman Same thing that turns a rock mountain into a green mountain.
00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:53.380
Rev. Ali Bierman Here in the east, our mountains are green because they're a lot older than the mountains that were out west.
00:02:54.580 --> 00:03:04.200
Rev. Ali Bierman I did live in Idaho in the northwest for ten years, and the mountains were rocks.
00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:07.160
Rev. Ali Bierman That's why they call them the Rocky Mountains.
00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:13.560
Rev. Ali Bierman It starts with algae and it covers it and keeps growing.
00:03:13.580 --> 00:03:18.680
Rev. Ali Bierman Remember, plants have wisdom.
00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:27.620
Rev. Ali Bierman And it just gets bigger and bigger until it totally envelops the stone.
00:03:29.980 --> 00:03:32.640
Rev. Ali Bierman You can see, I think it's algae.
00:03:33.860 --> 00:03:36.220
Rev. Ali Bierman It's not just up on the stonewall.
00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:44.400
Rev. Ali Bierman Let me take you in for a really good close look at how extraordinary this is.
00:03:45.260 --> 00:03:46.760
Rev. Ali Bierman Isn't that just amazing?
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:53.420
Rev. Ali Bierman The algae just absolutely eats everything that's rock and that's paved.
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:55.800
Rev. Ali Bierman It's all over the driveway.
00:03:56.920 --> 00:03:58.820
Rev. Ali Bierman It's just paved once upon a time.
00:04:00.420 --> 00:04:01.240
Rev. Ali Bierman Check it out.
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:11.300
Rev. Ali Bierman So it eats all of this stuff, reduces it to, I guess it's dirt.
00:04:12.540 --> 00:04:18.200
Rev. Ali Bierman And now here we come upon my favorite thing, the daffodils.
00:04:18.620 --> 00:04:23.740
Rev. Ali Bierman There are probably a thousand different kinds of daffodils.
00:04:23.760 --> 00:04:24.700
Rev. Ali Bierman Here are a few of them.
00:04:25.820 --> 00:04:26.960
Rev. Ali Bierman I love daffodils.
00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:28.380
Rev. Ali Bierman Why do I love daffodils?
00:04:29.860 --> 00:04:35.960
Rev. Ali Bierman In the yard where I grew up, they were the first flower up in the winter.
00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:39.720
Rev. Ali Bierman And then later, color that we have here.
00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:46.200
Rev. Ali Bierman So if you don't live someplace with season changes, maybe you don't get to enjoy them.
00:04:46.440 --> 00:04:50.540
Rev. Ali Bierman Even the dandelions, people call dandelions weeds.
00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:59.320
Rev. Ali Bierman A weed is just a flower growing someplace where it wasn't planted by a person.
00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:10.700
Rev. Ali Bierman And if you've ever eaten dandelion greens, especially like the red ones, you know they have a place here and in your diet.
00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:13.860
Rev. Ali Bierman Let me get closer so you can see.
00:05:14.580 --> 00:05:16.800
Rev. Ali Bierman There are a few different varieties here.
00:05:21.580 --> 00:05:25.020
Rev. Ali Bierman Check out the dandelions.
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:32.640
Rev. Ali Bierman It's the season when they're out in numbers.
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:38.060
Rev. Ali Bierman So here are some other varieties of the daffodils.
00:05:38.980 --> 00:05:51.960
Rev. Ali Bierman So as I was saying, the daffodils were the first flower up because we didn't have flowers in our garden that actually would have come up before the end.
00:05:53.580 --> 00:05:57.960
Rev. Ali Bierman I got a closer view of the weeping cherry.
00:05:57.980 --> 00:05:59.640
Rev. Ali Bierman It's very pink.
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:05.640
Rev. Ali Bierman Not seeing the color as vibrantly is what it actually is.
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:13.340
Rev. Ali Bierman I grew up with a weeping cherry in my yard, and what's so extraordinary about the Daffodils?
00:06:16.780 --> 00:06:21.960
Rev. Ali Bierman Well, there are varieties that start up in March, go all the way through to June.
00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:26.240
Rev. Ali Bierman There's such a variety.
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:27.900
Rev. Ali Bierman It's an old neighborhood.
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:31.540
Rev. Ali Bierman I don't even know what all these kinds of trees are.
00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:39.220
Rev. Ali Bierman And yes, the neighborhood is so old, there are still above ground electrical lines.
00:06:41.840 --> 00:06:43.640
Rev. Ali Bierman Look how tall these trees are.
00:06:43.660 --> 00:06:50.380
Rev. Ali Bierman They go up and up and up.
00:06:50.400 --> 00:06:55.960
Rev. Ali Bierman What's so amazing is we have so many really high winds.
00:06:57.860 --> 00:07:01.700
Rev. Ali Bierman And the trees were frozen, sometimes encased in ice.
00:07:02.960 --> 00:07:04.000
Rev. Ali Bierman They didn't break.
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:11.820
Rev. Ali Bierman They were blown over at me, and they did some major, major swaying.
00:07:13.320 --> 00:07:15.340
Rev. Ali Bierman So back to those daffodils.
00:07:17.520 --> 00:07:24.780
Rev. Ali Bierman When I lived in Virginia, in northern Virginia, the daffodils came up right through the snow.
00:07:26.260 --> 00:07:28.920
Rev. Ali Bierman And I remember, well, I love my daffodils.
00:07:29.140 --> 00:07:32.500
Rev. Ali Bierman I take care of them, and I remember a prediction for a frost.
00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:37.000
Rev. Ali Bierman So the first time I went up, and I covered all of them to protect them.
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.160
Rev. Ali Bierman But the next time, I didn't know it was going to frost and snow.
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:51.280
Rev. Ali Bierman And I went up the next day, and the ground was covered with snow, and there were all these daffodils.
00:07:51.780 --> 00:07:53.520
Rev. Ali Bierman Came right up through the snow.
00:07:53.540 --> 00:07:57.440
Rev. Ali Bierman The other thing unique about daffodils is they don't close.
00:07:58.340 --> 00:08:01.040
Rev. Ali Bierman They stay open all the time.
00:08:01.060 --> 00:08:06.300
Rev. Ali Bierman Other flowers will close, and that's so with daffodils.
00:08:06.840 --> 00:08:09.340
Rev. Ali Bierman They're just open all the time.
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.200
Rev. Ali Bierman You know what's so cool?
00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:21.400
Rev. Ali Bierman As many green leafy plants, they'll at least start out red.
00:08:22.880 --> 00:08:26.940
Rev. Ali Bierman They'll bite out red, and then they'll turn green.
00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:34.180
Rev. Ali Bierman Here are the flowers I was talking about, an older weeping cherry.
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:46.600
Rev. Ali Bierman I don't remember if these are dogwood, but there are quite a few of them here.
00:08:47.680 --> 00:08:51.820
Rev. Ali Bierman And check this out, I'm not sure if it's a red leaf maple from here.
00:08:52.020 --> 00:08:53.120
Rev. Ali Bierman I know it's beautiful.
00:08:59.280 --> 00:09:00.400
Rev. Ali Bierman Where is the sky?
00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:03.080
Rev. Ali Bierman There is no sky.
00:09:04.260 --> 00:09:06.620
Rev. Ali Bierman Thank you for joining me the last three years.
00:09:07.280 --> 00:09:13.720
Rev. Ali Bierman What a beautiful end to the first three seasons, and a welcome to what is to come.
00:09:13.880 --> 00:09:16.420
Rev. Ali Bierman Remember, join our Facebook group.
00:09:17.060 --> 00:09:18.340
Rev. Ali Bierman I want to know who you are.
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:23.180
Rev. Ali Bierman I want to know where you're listening, because we're all over the world.
00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:29.300
Rev. Ali Bierman And I just see numbers, and I don't have any names to those numbers.
00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:36.260
Rev. Ali Bierman And of course, you can always go up to our website, but you know what's really cool now?
00:09:36.280 --> 00:09:45.660
Rev. Ali Bierman I have another website for the show where you can follow along with a transcript.
00:09:46.700 --> 00:09:55.100
Rev. Ali Bierman Which, by the way, if you're listening to an Apple podcast, the transcript's right there.
00:09:55.960 --> 00:10:01.980
Rev. Ali Bierman But if you don't play it on an Apple player, you can go to the other website.
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:03.960
Rev. Ali Bierman So you're going to have two different links for the websites.
00:10:05.420 --> 00:10:20.680
Rev. Ali Bierman In case you haven't caught me on YouTube, I'm also on YouTube, both the video and the audio, just reaching a whole lot of people, because that's why I'm doing the show.
00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:23.060
Rev. Ali Bierman That's why I'm talking to you.
00:10:23.300 --> 00:10:33.180
Rev. Ali Bierman My friends helped me to grow in my life, and that's my goal to do with you, to take you further along your path.
00:10:33.920 --> 00:10:39.740
Rev. Ali Bierman I'm not going to hold your hand and walk you down the path, because it's up to you to figure that out.
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:46.080
Rev. Ali Bierman But I want to give you stepping stones, so you don't stay stuck in one place.
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:59.600
Rev. Ali Bierman I really do appreciate your joining the community and supporting us, and that puts you on a live video call with me every month.
00:11:00.380 --> 00:11:14.200
Rev. Ali Bierman So I can see who you are, know who you are, and we can talk about whatever you want to talk about within the parameter of this spiritual presentation that's going on.
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:20.800
Rev. Ali Bierman Remember to enjoy every moment as Cabot Lion, Cabot JOY.
00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:26.100
Rev. Ali Bierman Because nothing in your life happens outside of you, nothing.
00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:28.260
Rev. Ali Bierman It all happens within.
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:36.920
