The Pelican Forecast: An Angel Message

Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty;
believe me, that Angel's hand is there.
    Fra Giovanni
 
Whenever a pelican appears, I'm thankful for the angel reminder to stay buoyant-- Be like a pelican and float like a schooner on the waves. And, no matter how far down you plummet for a catch, you too can quickly pop back up to the surface. Unsinkable. 
 
A recent "find" at the flea market popped up in my hand bringing a grateful smile.  Handcarved in Peru from steatite at a giveaway price for $1, I welcomed the symbol on weathering life's storms.   In spite of being light weight, sometimes pelicans have difficulty taking off from the water.  Yet, they still manage to do so.  A reminder that our inner spirit can free us from whatever is weighing us down.  We are unsinkable in our spirit. Water is a symbol of emotions, and emotions often try to sink us.  Like the pelican, we too can not be overcome by the tides of emotions if we stay buoyant.


 For fun, I looked up steatite (soapstone).  It has to do with movement and widening one's horizons.  And can assist in "changing tides" to get ready for new situations and new challenges.  This stone has a calming energy both stimulating one into action while providing inner peace.  Release old routines and create new loving environments. Pink is the color of Love--we swim in a sea of eternity, divine Love, ever buoyant...floating on tides of heaven.

Remember you are never alone, God has sent His angels to watch over you.  The best is yet to be.

Love and peace,
