signs

Yesterday morning during meditation, I drew a opossum card.  Opossum means “expect the unexpected and be clever in achieving your victory.”  Opossum is asking me to leap over a barrier to my progress.  Driving to yoga fifteen minutes later, I ran over and killed an opossum.  The first animal I have killed with my car.  

Shocked, I asked the Universe: “What does that mean!?”

Yesterday's temperatures were in the high 70’s, setting record highs for much of the state.  The lake was roaring with southern gale force winds. The warm air was somehow soothing, despite the intense energy. I could feel the winds of change roaring in and engulfing me.

Again, I asked: “What needs to change?”

During my last retreat, my guest told me I had to read the book Signs.  It arrived yesterday.  I opened the book and the first lines indicate that I am opening this book at this time for a very particular reason.  It is not an accident.  It is an invitation from the universe.  

“I am listening.”

Today is the eve of the new moon and the precipice of All Saints Day.  A time of year when the veil is believed to be the thinnest between Us and the Other Side.  This new moon asks us to work with our shadow side.  The behaviors we are least proud of.  

“Spirit Guides, please help me be aware.”

A Door Within:

• What are my fears, where did they stem from?

• Can I accept this part of me?

• Can I heal my shadow side through acceptance?

• How can I work with my signs in a non-judgmental loving light?

With love, light and gratitude,
