.... Everyone has psychic powers...You noticed the crane. It caused you to wonder. That means there was a message for you in sighting it. :-)
On the morning before the Iraq war started, the white dove that had been hanging around my house was killed by a Red-tailed Hawk. All of it's beautiful white feathers laying in the yard. I knew exactly what it meant.
p.s., congratulations on quitting smoking! That is the toughest addiction to break!
Whenever I get really down and nervous about what is going on with the dark ones in Washington, I do two things. First, I go to the prediction page and scroll down to November 2020 and read all the wonderful predictions of all the good that is to come. Since I believe you all are so gifted and so many of your predictions come true, just reading that months predictions helps calm my nerves. That and many times during the day, I say to myself “ Big Blue Wave “ over and over.
Interestingly enough... Bolton is know as a War Hawk.
Re the smoking....
Thank you! It really wasn't me tho! AA Michael took it all off of me. I had no desire for it whatsoever...even when with those who smoked... I would just move where I didn't breathe it in.. it didn't bother me at all if someone smoked . I knew AA Michael meant what he said and since he took all that off? I showed my appreciation and gratitude by not ever picking even one up.
Last winter when I was having to stay at my sister's, I was feeding birds at her place, my place and down at my old trailer . I noticed a hawk at her place so I was feeding under an overhang. I lost two pigeons. I haven't fed there this year but the weather has been pretty good. At my place I lost one, but I'm still feeding. I don't know what to think about the old trailer. For years, I've been feeding cardinales, red birds, and bluejays, but nobody has come this year.
Sen. Lamar Alexander just gave Moscow Mitch a note. We should find out soon if he is going to side with the rest of the rethug treasonweasels.
You all are wonderful.
During my work day I thought about the anxiety expressed in this thread, and what I might say to try to offer some comfort. I'll post that in the "How to cope..." forum. But here I do want to share this picture of snowdrops that I took on my walk across campus today. This weekend is Imbolc, which in part marks the phase of the year when the green growing world moves from gestation to rebirth. There are signs of growth and progress under our feet, even in the dark & dreary days.
Oh, also want to share this poem for @JourneyWithMe2 and others who brought up nature as a healing, comforting presence. (I'm with you, and, obviously, a heron person.)
The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
--Wendell Berry
One of my favorite of a all nature poems. It brings me to tears every time I read it again.
Just came in from finishing the goat chores. While I stopped at 3:30 and sat in the sun and mentally connected with all.... My totem birds the crows came and sat in the oak tree above my head. As I turned my face up to the sun and began to visualize and connect with Archangel Michael and his mighty sword ( I always call on him when I am troubled and need support in whatever I am "battling") I felt his presence and saw light reflecting in huge rays to all of Earth. I asked for a sign that Truth matters and Right will prevail..... I heard then saw.... a large flock of Sandhill Cranes flying high overhead and their calls echoing across the bright blue skies full of sunlight.
Now THAT is a meditation. Goats, crows, cranes and Archangel Michael.
I love it!!!
I've been really struggling the last few days but I signed into the forum right now and literally FELT the light from all of these wonderful posts deep in my soul.
I feel like my battery has been recharged, and I am ready for whatever comes.
All will be well even if it doesn't seem so at first.
Thank you all.
News on Pelosi. Something a lot of people have wondered what will she do after T is acquitted (let’s face its going to happen)
As the Senate appeared to be moving toward acquitting President Donald Trump on two articles of impeachment, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday refused to rule out further action to hold the president accountable.
Well, I’m not getting to that. We are in the Senate," she stressed. "We did our job. We had a strong case of impeachment of the President of the United States. No matter what the senators have the courage or not to do, he will be impeached forever."
My favorite part: We believe our argument was strong enough for removal, but we do believe that there's more truth for the American people to know."
We are right now, prayerful and hopeful that the Senate will have the courage to hear the truth about the president's action," she said. "And then we'll see what we do next."
Regarding today's meditation: I could feel the warm, vibrant light energy of the group as I began my meditation. I drew in the light from above and projected it out, focusing on the US Capitol and then the Senate hearing room. The outside and inside of the Senate was bathed in light. I then focused my meditation on a photograph I purchased a few months ago. It's a breathtakingly beautiful, close up photo of the face of a very old, Timbavati White, blue-eyed Lion, taken at a wildlife preserve in NC. I prayed that those senators draw on that lion's strength and power -- that they conduct themselves with dignity, show their authority but lead others with a loving heart, have faith, remain courageous, and above all, fiercely present and defend the truth.
I was moved by how many of you drew on the energy of Archangel Michael, and wondered why I chose to focus on the lion. At that point I decided to hang up the photo, and noticed a tag taped on the back of it.
The lion's name was Michael. ?
@lovendures -- Goats, crows, cranes, Archangel Michael ... and a lion!
Love that!!!! Yes... Mother Nature has held Sanctuary and Church for me since childhood. I return the favor with how I maintain my little piece of ground and home. Animals and I have always reached out to each other since I was a little one. It became my career and my passion. Thank you for the beautiful photo of snow drops in bloom. Earth awakening to Spring fills me with quiet Joy.
It occurred to me as I read your post... another angel? AA Ariel is known as the Lion of God. " Archangel Ariel is known as the Angel of nature. Ariel means "Lion of God." The meaning of the name itself depicts its importance. She is responsible for the protection of animals, plants, as well as the Earth's elements; that include water, wind, and fire. People or beings who harm God's creation are punished by Angel Ariel."
Perhaps the harm IMPOTUS is wreaking on the environment rolling back protections and stripping the Earth of resources has AA Ariel on the case as well.
@deetoo, that is amazing. A Michael Lion. You know, right before the meditation, the name Michael was mentioned twice. No coincidences here folks.
This is simply astounding. How powerful and beautiful.
Oh, what an example of the fact that we are all connected. Tonight we are connected by the Archangel Michael.
Hunh. I sent that poem to a lot of people the day after Trump got "elected". So strange to think it's come around to give me comfort again.
Alexander said there was no need for witnesses because the House managers already proved their case. Its double edged-no witnesses, but he also said they proved the impeachment case so they dont need any more proof. That will be hard to spin at Fox.
BTW, since I started the mentioning of my name, I was named for the Archangel Michael
