As of late, the angels communicate with me by sign language. A last minute grab at our neighborhood yard sale, this happy heron now takes flight in the butterfly garden. Wind and rain bounce those expansive wings up and down, giving it mobility and life. Herons are a sign to strongly rely on my Spirit and not my ego. A message of Self-determination and strong Self-reliance. Fully rely on God.
In this older photo, the heron is standing on a firm foundation, a solid slab of faith. Its elongated neck resembles a question mark. Life is a mystery and we are here to learn by living it fully (with love). A favorite quote:
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves.
Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be
given you because you would not be able
to live them. And the point is to live everything.
Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then
gradually, without noticing it, live along some
distant day into the answers.
~Rainer Maria Rilke
One more thing... When in flight, the great blue heron's head arches back in the shape of an "S". A strong reminder to rely on our inner spirit, and not just follow the promptings of others.
Yesterday a stop at Ace Hardware for a new bird feeder, the angels were at work. This emboldened sign on the outer wall was empowering so much so I grabbed a photo to share with you.
GO
POWER BEYOND BELIEF...
I loved it.
Funny, somehow I missed seeing THAT BIG GREEN "E" until just now. It changed GO to EGO Power Beyond Belief! The ego doesn't know the meaning of anything. And, the yellow emergency shut off sign beside it was an angel reminder to beware of the ego's strategy. The ego will use an emergency shutoff valve to shut down our spiritual power, not wanting to lose control. To keep us believing in our littleness rather than the grandeur of God that resides within us.
So whatever may come your way, live the question and remember you are not who you think you are, based on your physical senses, and how you see the world. There's only one Infinite, Supreme, All Knowing, All seeing, ever present governing power, forever changeless. The power of God's Love. Don't be deceived by appearances... trust that you are more than you know in Christ.
God's angels hover near and all about.
His Love surrounds you, of this be sure;
that I will never leave you comfortless.

Love and peace,
