Today was a magical day. I could feel something new awakening within me. Spontaneously, I decided to jump in my truck and took a drive towards the mountains. In these moments of inspiration, I often feel called to visit with the trees. And usually, I have no idea where I am headed. This is what I like to call a spontaneous adventure.
I enjoyed a beautiful drive up in the mountains and upon driving back down, I felt inspired to stop and visit with a beautiful grassy meadow. I parked the truck, and enjoyed the silence, listening to the sounds of the birds, while feeling into the opening that was the opportunity of the day. I can feel that my life is changing in new ways and I am in the place of not knowing, which can be both exciting as well as a little challenging. As I let go of the places where I just want to know, I remember the beauty of not knowing. It is the stillness in these moments, that invite us to see with new clarity.
As I walked down the path, I came towards an Oak tree. In this Oak trees presence, I experienced sweet moments of joy. As, I began to feel more relaxed and open, I noticed a bird flying swiftly right by me into the bushes ahead, directly in front of me. He was beautiful. I could feel by his presence that he was a red-tailed hawk. He stood on a branch, doing his thing, perhaps searching for food. For a few moments, we exchanged greetings with one another. It was a very sweet graceful meeting, nothing extraordinary, simply and ordinary moment.
As I opened my eyes and heart to the gift of this red-tailed hawks presence, I listened and asked what the opportunity of this moment is? Has he come to share a message with me, I wondered? I then asked him, if there is perhaps a message he’d like to share. In the moments to follow, I saw a vision, one similar to the one I had seen a week ago. As we connected deeper, I saw the bigger picture of this vision and in this moment, I felt my reality change, spontaneously. As the vision became crystal clear, the red-tailed hawk came swooping in towards me, quite swiftly, passing me by in a blink of an eye, then reaching up to the sky. It was fantastic. Yes, clearly, I could see the reflection that he bestowed onto me. Thank you my dear friend. May you blessed in every moment.
I felt complete in that moment. Just a few moments later, I stood up, thanked the oak tree for our visit, and went along the trail.
