It was hot last Sunday when we stopped to visit our donkey friend at the Orchid Farm. Sitting underneath a picnic arena canopy a short distance from Alhambra, I could see he was taking a snooze in the shade of the trees, legs locked.
Not wanting to disturb his peace, I too was thankful to be out of the sun. I happened to look up and that's when I saw it. A lone red-shouldered hawk perched atop a lifeless old tree. His choice of vantage point was amusing as the vigilant hawk seemed to be framed between two dead branches that looked like goalposts. Watching and waiting on-high for the next opportunity to come his way.
Would you believe later when I looked up the symbolism of hawks, there was an analogy of a football field. "All hawks see seven to ten times better than humans. In fact, if a hawk could read, and a newspaper were held at one end of a football field with the hawk at the opposite end, the hawk could read the headlines. Because of their vision and strength, all hawks are guardians. Hawk's appearance heralds a time of greater vision and strength which will help in our present endeavors. Protection will be provided on our journeys. Now is the time to move forward...
A funny thing happened when I moved forward to greet our donkey friend...he gave me a heartwarming bray!
I hope you're learning more and more to open up and receive guidance through angel messages that appear in nature. What blesses one, blesses all, and the more attuned we become, the louder the volume, and bolder the visual expression. We are never alone. We live and move and have our being in an atmosphere of Divine Love.
Love and peace,
