Today, as I sat outside in the morning sun, I made friends with a lizard…
At first when the lizard became aware of my presence, he scurried off, hiding in the boards of the house…Slowly, he peeked out at me, several times. I could feel the sensitive nature of this great lizard, and I knew that if I moved too fast, he would scurry off. So, I shared that I am his friend…that I wouldn’t hurt him…saying these words silently and with my vibration, he received me well… As he became more comfortable, he hung out right next to me, a few inches away.
It was so neat to experience and see all the textures of his body, so close to mine; his skin appeared to have a net-like material on the top layer of his skin..there were colors of blues, greens, browns, all blended together in the layers of the skin… I refer to him as a “he”, because that is what I felt him to be… The lizard continued to sit there with me, for several minutes, connecting deeply with one another. I could feel him looking into my soul.
I could see the reptile kingdom through his reflection…the ancient history of our ancestry…I could feel other lizards, snakes, even dinosaurs through his gentle spirit. I found him to be so sensitive to movement and vibration..Lizards feel with their bodies..They have a direct relationship with the earth. One slight move, and he may run off…so, slowly, I straightened out my body and as I became still, slowly moving my body, while still connecting with him…The lizard barely moved, just watching me with his eyes. After a few moments, the lizard moved his body in a rhythmic motion and something began to leave his body….how funny, he’s pooping! This is definetly the first time I’ve seen a lizard poop! little pellets…I giggled…hoping not to offend him…In this moment, 2 bunnies come hopping along, quite close…they felt very playful and going about their day, eating grasses and hiding out in the bushes.
Couldn’t imagine a better way to open to my day!
