Over the years, I've learned that when an animal, flower, tree, bird, bug, fish--whatever--crosses your path in a significant way to pay attention to the angel message conveyed in that special moment. What was the behavior? What characteristics pop up regarding the messenger? What were you thinking about at the time? Is it mirroring an inner issue? Try to be still and listen for inner guidance.
I love whistling ducks...and our couple no longer stop by the garden anymore. So the sight of that happy whistling duck trying to maintain balancing on the high wire was an angel heads-up. And it had to do with communications...on the wire...keep thoughts on high. His humorous stance helped me pass my tests later that day when caught by a surprising situation over the phone. A funny imprint of that zany duck came to mind and the daring high wire act. I kept my communications on high, guarded my tongue, and maintained balance and harmony, not making a spectacle of myself.
Also, earlier that morning I'd wanted a photo of the July Buck (Male Deer) Full Moon, but wispy clouds shrouded her glow. But out of the blue, when the whistling duck pic was uploaded, I let out a laugh. The full Buck moon like a white rubber ball was below the duck in a clear blue sky. What do I know? Sometimes things don't work out like we planned, but the results can be more meaningful when we let go and see. Like that old adage, Love comes softly...
How blessed we are to be in the presence of God's angels always. The more we pay attention, the clearer the communication, and the closer we feel the touch of their loving companionship.
