Animals as Messengers

A friend of mine with great intuitive abilities once told me that any animal that allows itself to be seen by you (in the wild) comes to bring you a message.  This has made me more aware of what animals present themselves to me.  This week... pheasants, honker, coyote, and rabbit.  SO I looked up the coyote because that seemed to be the most unusual viewing of my week.

This is what the shamanic animal spirit web site said about a coyote....

Coyote's Wisdom Includes:
Understanding that all things are sacred--yet nothing is sacred
Teaching that only when all masks have fallen will we connect with the Source
Intelligence
Singing humans into being
Childhood trust in truth
Teaching us how to rear our young
Brings rain
Ability to laugh at one’s own mistakes
Placing the North Star
Shape-shifting
Teaching balance between risk and safety
Illumination
Stealth

And for the rabbit I saw with an injured face hopping around my car where I park in the downtown area...

Rabbit/Hare's Wisdom Includes:
Guile
Paradox and contradiction
Living by one’s own wits
Receiving hidden teachings and intuitive messages
Quick-thinking
Humility
Moving through fear
Strengthening intuition

As a side note, in the Chinese calendar, I am a hare as well so I figured that any time a rabbit appears for me it's a reminder to return to self.  :)  That's my own interpretation, but I guess that's part of the rabbit message - strengthening intuition - trusting in your gut instincts... the trust of a child (like the coyote brings).

Just because, I also looked up the pheasant and goose wisdom and found this!  HOW COOL!


Pheasants's Wisdom Includes:
Movement through ego
Using color to heal
Expansion of self awareness
Understanding the use of ritual


Goose's Wisdom Includes:
Movement along ones soul path
Understanding the power of community
Assisting others through illness
Happiness


Noted Coyote, rabbit, goose, and pheasant... thank you!  I'm off to the bookmobile!

What Does Your Fun Look Like?

I was listening to an interview of Allison Armstrong yesterday.. she's a woman who's studied men for 20 years and how women can better relate to them.  She had an interesting topic:  "What does your fun look like?"  And she talked about it by illustrating how different 'types' respond to this scenario: A friend comes to you and tells you 'I'm learning Mandarin Chinese.' What's your response to this?  Mine was 'COOL'! :)  Which I later came to know was the response of an 'Enjoyer'. :)  Her other types were 'Builder', 'Sharer', 'Expresser', and 'Growers and Knowers'. A Builder would respond with something like 'Why would you be learning this?  When will you use it?'  An Enjoyer (me) would respond like 'Sounds like fun!'.  A Sharer would respond with something like 'With whom are you doing that?'.  An Expresser might respond: "What do you want to say in Mandarin?&qu

What do I want to BE? What do I want to DO?

 AH HA I just remembered you today - lovely blogita.   It seems I missed 2021 in my blog posts, but here we are in 2022 - so nice and even.  This year is going to have at least one post.  So here goes: Second day post-termination thoughts:  I have so much time!  I could start a project.  I could read The Brothers Karamazov as I have been meaning to do.  I could clean (you can always clean), but that may go against my newer found philosophy of 'It's Better Than it Was'.... which is doing some to mitigate the mess, but not worrying about perfection. I had an interview yesterday.  That was weird.... just the getting up and getting dressed and leaving the house for a work appointment.  I had fun.  I like people.  I got lost.  I talked to the ceiling/heaven.  I laughed.  I used a parable in my answer.  Gees... where did that come from?  Heaven maybe? :) Tis time to shower.... I'm a bit oiled up after a 90 min massage that cost $189.  That's bloated.  I felt like the ther

Cycle of Downturns - a Poem

I'm noticing for you because I can feel it. which is kind of the point, You can't. This is where I retreat. I am not here to do your work. What is the loving response? Only you know what's there to transform. This is cycle number three. No change has disrupted the relapse. You are not present. You have receded into hiding. Here I am telling you what you need to do. It feels icky and uneven. Perspectives can be so far apart. I know I can't remain. <3 EE
