For your consideration…

Wow, I am getting the feeling that we have ourselves in a real pickle. My sense is that with all of the different movements that have divided us and now with the election season, we just don’t know how…or are too afraid…to talk to one another. We keep getting messages reminding us of our humanness and need for one another.

Yet again today we have another message reminding us of the same. It reminds us of the “six degrees of separation. It also came in via the song, “You Are The Reason.” We tend to think of this song as a romantic relationship song. But it is given to us to talk to us about ALL relationships” In this song, we realize and admit we are broken and want to make things right

And if I could turn back the clockI’d make sure the light defeated the darkI’d spend every hour, of every dayKeeping you safe
And I’d climb every mountainAnd swim every oceanJust to be with youAnd fix what I’ve brokenOh, ’cause I need you to seeThat you are the reason
I don’t wanna fight no more

Every word of this song is meant for our ears today so I have inserted a link. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=lyrics+you+are+the+reason

But our Guidance was not done with us today. It doubled down and sent us a Bluejay. I didn’t get it at first. I often see it in the woods behind my house. But it never follows me from room to room and it never sits outside my office window where I write. But it did today. So Bluejay is also an essential part of today’s message.

Often we think about Bluejays as fighters. Well, that seems appropriate. But there is much more to the Bluejay and today it also gives us guidance and HOPE. Bluejays have the ability to tap into the energy of both heaven and earth. Its challenge is to balance the two and develop both energies. They also have great survival abilities without a lot of effort. Like the Bluejay we do too. Like the Bluejay we have great talent that needs to be developed and utilized properly…for the highest good of all.

Bluejays were given to us to tell us that we are moving into a time where we have a choice. We are asked to develop our innate royalty. The Bluejay, like our Guidance, does not hibernate, it does leave for the winter. It sticks around to help us should we choose to be part of the solution and fix what we have broken.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

 

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

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

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

-Help fix what is broken by being our best self.
