Ding Dong! Raven Calling...

“Cras! Cras!” 

I looked up and smiled as Raven flew over from the NW to SE, and then continued scraping the ice from my windshield. 

“Cras! Cras!” Again, Raven flew over from the same direction, calling out to me. I responded with a good morning to him, before finishing the scraping. 

Then for a third time, Raven called out to me; “Cras! Cras” flying in the same exact pattern as the other two. 

Raven, like the darkness of your body, you are the harbinger of deep dark mysteries yet to unfold. So many times you have appeared and shared the future with me, yet this morning I do not hear you clearly, in spite of your insistent chatter. You symbolize shape-shifting qualities; change and transformation, along with being a keeper of secrets. I wonder my friend, what secrets from my inner depths are you trying to bring to the light of my own consciousness? 

This week, I have initiated spiritual changes, integrating my practice back in with the physical and emotional. Like many of us, I am questioning my purpose and believe I am closer to understanding who I am and where I belong and how to move forward with my plan. 

I am both scientific and creative, meaning I use both sides of my brain equally (I've been tested). I believe however, that I've pushed the creative part of me to the side and I am now trying to wake it up again. For many many years, I was an actor, playing a roll that is not from the heart, but a roll that would please others. Now I’m coming alive, and being reborn into who I truly am. That means I need to accept myself for who I am and believe in my values, and most importantly - like me, right now, right here! Transformation is in the air! Change is happening, right now!!! 

The key for my success however, is to pace myself. I’m such an overachiever, that I will have to carefully think out the steps so I do not risk placing myself in a state of dis-ease and unbalance. 

For now, I will do what I can and when I can, in accordance with the laws of nature!
