...all because of a dream....

simple moments...

 

yesterday....

as I was driving along....

I spotted two red-tailed hawks....

playful...

clearly excited and happy....

to just be....

enjoying each other's company....

and in that moment....I saw myself with another soul....

together...enjoying each other's company....

free....and REAL....

by the time I pulled over and was able to grab my flip camera out from the back seat....there was only one in sight....

but around the 1:13 mark...you see the rejoining of the two....

together in the sky....

more "KNOWING" for my soul....humbled by the way hawk speaks to me...

ever so clearly....

the footage is crude...raw...

the music, is as it was playing in my car...as are the cars rushing by....

a moment of KNOWING...captured and shared....as is...good medicine.

I was on my way to a favorite spot...

so good....this place....

peaceful...

 

simple moments....on a Sunday morning...

totally diggin' the rainbow energy that appears around the 38-44 second mark...

Today...I encourage you to open your eyes....WIDE...

look toward the sky....even when the rest of the world rushes by....

BREATHE deep...

walk your shores...your woods...your earth...

FEEL the nurturing she has to offer...

LISTEN to her voice...and you will hear truths spoken just for you...

Swan medicine...

she came to me...2/1/12...photo by AM Raven

gently....she came to me...today...good medicine...timely...

"Swan ushers in a time of altered states of awareness and development of your intuitive abilities. Swan people have the ability to… accept the healing and transformation of their lives. Swan gently nudges you to accept your ability to know what lies ahead. If you are resisting your self-transformation, relax; it will be easier if you go with the flow… Pay attention to your hunches and your gut knowledge, and honor your female intuition..."

"similar to the Hans Christian Anderssen story of "The Ugly Duckling", Swan medicine can show you how to see the inner beauty within yourself or in others regardless of outer appearances..."

she spoke...with no sounds...just a knowing...

today...I had a hint of fear...that my past "uglies" would be seen...

and that might take away from the life-changing power of beauty that emerged when I was released free from that past.

our encounter soothed my soul...

shortly after our encounter, I stopped at a favorite local shop...

to purchase a small gift of a favorite scent to send in a package to the very person I was concerned might view my uglies as...

well...

ugly.

As I was paying for the scents...I noticed a stack of thought cards...inviting me to choose one...

I reached into the stack, and blindly chose....

more affirmation regarding...

my Vision...

yes..."cosmic connections" abound...
