Early this morning on our way to the grocery store, the angels delivered a message from nature. You can tell because it's not your usual everyday encounter. The messenger grabs your attention, if only fleeting. That's what happened when I spotted a lone animal scurrying across the main road a good distance up ahead. At first I thought it was a cat, but coming closer I could see an opossum had made it safely to the other side of the busy country road. With opossum making a rare appearance these days, I wondered about the timing and the nature of the angel message.
In Animal-Speak, Opossum demonstrates how to use appearance to your benefit as it is the supreme actor. We may need to appear fearful or fearless in spite of how we truly feel. We may need to be apathetic or extremely caring. Submissive or aggressive. Sometimes it's necessary to "play dead." Sometimes it's necessary to put up a particular front to succeed easily and effectively. A message to fake it until you make it. Opossum can also show you when others are putting up false fronts. If someone is spreading rumors about you--play dead, and don't react or confront the person. Things will work out more smoothly and justice will prevail.
Some questions to ask when an opossum crosses our path: Are you acting or about to act in an inappropriate manner? Do you need to strengthen your own appearance? Do you need to divert attention from some activity? Are others trying to divert your attention?
Now is the time to go within and pay attention to your inner guidance and be willing to follow it.
Love and peace,
