Your Every Day Miracles

I went on Facebook the other day because I hadn’t been on in a while. My friend, Mudd, had posted an oracle reading from her friend at Cauldrons and Cupcakes. Once you choose your oracle you scroll down for its meaning.

I picked #1 based on this image by Jason D Page:

I chose the light spirals because it reminded me of life’s spiral path. Lately, I keep having these “I need this thing I don’t have” moments and then the appearance of this not too much later. Today, walking home from Jazz Fest, a torrent darkened the sky and I just stood face to light with the most dazzling lightning show. Wow. It scared me!

The lightning dance stayed etched across my sight for a while afterwards. What scares me is how the material world is becoming more ephemeral for me while the spiritual side is blowing up. I get why people believe and have faith and move through the spirit world the way they do – it’s where creativity is at – you let go of all the typical things that anchor people to this earth and suddenly, you’re like ping I’m floating here.

The other day I saw that I was low on pu ehr, and then found a brand new box camouflaged among other teas. I needed to put brake fluid in my truck and my neighbor took care of it. The school had a planting and playground build day last Saturday, where I DJ’d, and there was mulch galore left on the sidewalk that was going to be hauled away. There is nothing like scoring mulch.

Okay, so these are coincidences, yes, but if you are grateful for these times as if they were gifts or miracles, then you start looking at all of the things that could possibly happen and the fact that you are swinging from good rod to good rod. Reason enough to be thankful.

I met with someone about work yesterday morning, and she urged me to complete my book and right then a man from my writer’s workshop (Loyola’s Walker Percy Center class at the Healing Center) comes in the door. She said it’s an omen. You have to finish the book and I will do everything I can to lift it up. I laid out a promise that I’d complete it by end of June. A promise to her and to me.

And I came back to Oracle #1, which said a beautiful fresh energy is blowing in, and I feel it, but I’ve been wearing myself out and I’m running on empty. However, I’m happy as a tick on a pregnant dog because I get a week of repose with Jazz Fest as my backdrop, my birthday, some time alone scheduled in, and a massage (a gift from my friend who came to visit from San Francisco).

Rest then write.
The vision is getting closer.
What you seek is seeking you.
It’s all good.

    AMEN to everything you’ve said!
    The magic has always been there…
    All we had to do was stop and notice.

    I’m on quite a journey myself, Rachel.
    Things are going faster and faster…
    Aha! moments are happening non-stop.

    ABOUT FREAKIN’ TIME! 🙂

    It all has to do with *healing*, in my case.
    Which means opening the door to my true self.
    Ridding my energy of major fears that had taken
    over my life, especially in the past 4 years.

    I should be back to my rockin’ self by the end of
    the year, if not sooner. A wiser, more relaxed
    rockin’ self… possessed with even MORE humour.

    Gawwwwd I feel good.
    In a very exhausted kind of way.
    HA!

    LOVE YOU

    Well I’m glad to hear this Mudd because you have been behind the screen for long periods of time and I wasn’t sure if it was because you were taking a break of social media or if you were up to something. The thing about life is that we have to keep reminding ourselves about what’s what and we are constantly learning and reimagining what’s what. So it is exhausting in its own way.

    Life / The Universe has a way of tackling you to the ground with all sorts of aches and pains and physical calamities… just to make sure you realize you’ve got more important stuff to tend to. Tough reminders!

    What a journey this has been… and will continue to be, thank my lucky stars!

    MORE LOVE

    Mudd – I was just talking about this with friends – growth comes from pain, but the better you get at letting growth come and not resisting it, the lesser the pain. It’s a weird dynamic that has to be learned, it can’t be taught. Love, R

    I’ll drink to that — CHEERS!
