Can you spot the small creature on my honeysuckle bloom?
Friday and Saturday I hosted a workshop in my home on animal communication taught by my beautiful friend, Dawn. While I’m still not quite ready to share what I learned, as I’m processing much of it, I feel changed in a way today that I really didn’t expect. A part of me is even finding it hard to express in words what I feel. Much of it is welcome and good. I am simmering in all of it.
In a way I feel myself still coming back into my physical body and feeling my feet firmly planted on the earth. Maybe that sounds rather strange, but again, it is hard to express the energy that transpired over the last two days.
Just a few moments ago I decided to take a photo of the honeysuckle plant that is blooming in all its glorious colors of orange, pink and green outside my writing cottage. As I was doing so, I saw this small green critter through the lens of my camera. I’m not sure I would have spotted him otherwise.
When I sat down to write this post, all the emotions and energy from the last 48 hours still finding there way with me, I thought about this green bug and it came to me, all creatures great and small, love them all. Each one has something to offer us.
I then chuckled silently to myself because while I understand this message, I know I’m going to get hung up on spiders, snakes, flies and mosquito’s. Okay, I am a work in progress, I told myself. And maybe I’ll never come to love them in the sense of wanting them to be around me, I can love them for their purpose in the world. And maybe that is enough.
