For your consideration……

So today a coyote has shown up. While I hear them regularly at night, this is the first time we have seen one literally in our backyard.

The coyote represents both wisdom and folly…even magic. When a coyote shows up we are reminded that play is essential to both our mental and physical health. We are reminded to not take ourselves too seriously.We are ok. We are adaptable.

When coyotes show up we are reminded to balance both poise and folly in our chaotic life. Coyotes remind us to let our childlike innocence bubble back up and to use its creative intelligence, artistic mind and all of its intuitive capabilities. Stop and take a look at the world through fresh childlike eyes. The wisdom of your child self is a blessing.

And finally the coyote reminds us to work and play as a family unit both at home and out and about interfacing with the world.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

 

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..

-Meditate. Your authentic self knows your child self.

-Have fun. Look for the funny side of things.

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Listen.

 

What made me smile yesterday…..

-Our share circle. Thank you, Leah….everyone.

-The beautiful sun.

-The changing leaves that I can see from my family room.

-All of the scurrying animals getting ready for winter.

-The light of the silvery moon.

 

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,

Rev. Chris
