I could chat with her forever, I am confident that we wouldn’t run out of things to laugh about or chat about. We each only had a couple of minutes but fit in a quick chat on the phone. I decided to try to sneak in a brief walk while we chatted too. It was dusk, despite the fact that it was only 4:45. It was unseasonably warm for December and I wasn’t about to miss a warm evening walk and the chance to watch the daylight fade.
I walked up the driveway listening to her speak about fears that she had about not being good enough, not being smart enough, not being….. enough. She was telling me about getting some new oracle cards and how she kept pulling the same card, it was haunting her, about not being enough. I let her finish openly voicing her pain around this feedback and then asked her if she was pulling the card in reverse or upright.
“Oh, I don’t know” she responded back quickly, “does it matter”.
She already knew the answer, of course the position of the card would matter. I asked her if she possibly, just possibly, the message was that her fear (and what she was throwing out to the universe) was that the situation would not work and that she wasn’t enough. The reality is that she is enough, every ounce of her is enough.The universe is mirroring back what she is throwing out.
We went on to talk about a couple of other situations and then finished the conversation about seeing people for what they really are, even when they are good at presenting smoke and mirrors to confuse others. It is just as important to see ourselves with the clarity that we look at others with.
In true bold fashion, the universe confirmed this message. A large owl flew up and landed in the tree in front of me. I stopped in my tracks. I stopped speaking. I stopped everything and stared directly at the breathtaking animal. It stared back. Without movement we both stood looking at each other for what felt like forever. Just as quickly as the bird arrived, it left with the massive pumping of it’s large wings, into the darkness of the night. Owls are symbolic of paranormal wisdom, intense intelligence and the ability to see what is hidden to most.
