A
man pauses to look at the road he'll soon be traveling; beside him
three rods with new growth are planted firmly in the ground. This
morning in my email inbox I had this note from tut.com:
The very best moment in any long journey that makes your dreams come true comes not
on the day you realize they have, but on the day you realize how little
they matter compared to loving the adventure they've inspired.
As
I look at this card I realize how often I move from one item to the
next on my checklist, without pausing to enjoy the process. It is here I will be inspired and feel fulfilled, not when I reach my goal.
From the Druid Animal Oracle comes the "Blackbird:"
From the Druid Animal Oracle comes the "Blackbird:"
In
my area, we have red-winged blackbirds; during breeding season, they
nest and roost near ponds and marshes like the one near my house. I can
always tell if I have this bird at my feeder, as he never fails to
announce himself with his loud, buzzing call. The Carr-Gomms describe
the blackbird as a gateway guardian who reminds us to frequent the
spiritual world as we do this
earthly one: "There are times in life when it is important to
concentrate on the outer world and your responsibilities in that world,
but there are also times when you must attend to the haunting song of
your soul which calls you to a study of spiritual truths..."
