Medicine Card drawn this week – Swan
Friday, March 12th, 2010Part of the Spiritual Sessions at A Home Away include Animal Medicine Cards. Do they mean anything? I don’t know. Maybe they just mean whatever it is you bring to them.
Swan – Grace # 39
Be willing to accept whatever the future holds as it is presented without trying to change Great Spirit’s plans, don’t fight the current of life, surrender and trust what is shown by Great Spirit. Learn to surrender your body to the power of Great Spirit, have faith and show acceptance. Learn to accept the state of grace. Be one with all planes of consciousness and trust in Great Spirit protection. You have the ability to see the future to surrender to the power of Great Spirit and accept the feeling and transformation of your life.
Reverse: Acknowledge what you know so stop denying your feelings cult zing up.Pay more attention to your body in the world of spirit pay close attention to the unseen. You are embarking on new territory that has rules or universal laws of its own. You may sense or feel a slightly different way but this is gradual. This shift is sometimes lost among your normal activities until you feel spaced out. Reconnect then with mother earth. The solution to swan is to touch earth with your hands and feet. Focus on reality or the other, or visit the dark time, stop what you are doing and be still. Enter the silence and empty your mind. Be receptive and open so you can receive the message into your consciousness. If you are just spacey or day dreaming, you need to get focus.
Sufi Legend put to poetry: The Blind Men and the Elephant
Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010
John Godfrey Saxe’s ( 1816-1887) version of the famous Indian legend
It was six men of Indostan,
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
The First approach’d the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
“God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!”
The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, -”Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me ’tis mighty clear,
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!”
The Third approach’d the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
“I see,” -quoth he- “the Elephant
Is very like a snake!”
