Be Not Afraid

Be not afraid of who you are, who you were or where you can go. It is a new time and you are supported by the Universe. Release the old, purposefully let go of any blocks, ask the Universe for assistance. You are a child of forever, a grand soul having an experience in a body. As much as we relate to these bodies they are not the part of us that is forever.You are love and a part of the Love that is eternal. You are loved.

A Visit from a Chickadee...

I stepped out onto my balcony to look at something when I heard a noise.  At first I couldn't tell where it was coming from.  It sounded like a bird had banged into a window.   I looked around and saw inside my apartment a bird on the inside of the window trying to get out.  I went inside and caught the bird and as I went toward the open balcony door it slipped out my fingers and flew out into the forest.  My dog was going crazy....
It was a little beauty of a bird and it left before I could photograph it.  As a totem the chickadee talks about communication and how to use our voice.  It teaches us about flexibility and curiosity.  I think my little visitor must have been a very curious little one.  Chickadee also is considered the bird of truth and one of my favorite places on the internet, Linsdomain, states it this way:   

"Truth can be shared in a way that adds joy to everyone’s lives." I wonder.  Can that be Chickadee's message to me, or to you? http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pages/chickadee.htm

Message of the White Hawk...

t

His stepping into the street to take the dog for a walk was interrupted by the the squawk of a crow.   Looking up he saw the crow chasing a magnificent white hawk.  The hawk was so beautiful it took his breath away and he watched with delight as it ditched the crow and circled around.  Coming back it spiraled in quite low and hovered above him.   White with some dark points it was beautiful beyond words and against the blue of the morning sky looked ethereal as though it gleamed with its own light.   Seconds later it took off again toward the bay.  It’s beauty had mesmerized him and awestruck he stood wondering what had just happened.  It was the reality of a car coming up the street that brought him back.   Jumping out of the street and resuming his walk the question clung to the edges of his vision.   What had just happened?  It was only a few minutes later as he returned to his home that he heard the words in a familiar voice.
“you are an infinite being.  Remember this.  You are bound to the earth only by your body but you are not your body.  Infinite, powerful, beautiful, spread your wings sweet spirit, spread your wings and fly.” 
That was the message of the White Hawk.
