Today as the Seventh Card shows itself to me I am reminded if it is Peace We All want then it is Peace we must seek. The Dove is sharing a lesson of constant reminder that our behavior reflects not only on us but is example to others. So it is a day we all must step up to the plate and show positive examples that can be mirrored and followed. If things are blocking your way, you must first understand that we need to look within ourselves first and see what it is that is preventing us from moving forward, or perhaps releasing old things that we no longer should be carrying. We need to learn to deal with it and release it so that it may recycle into the Universe and return to us in positives.
The Dove has long been associated with calm and peace. Peace within and peace during times of War. The Dove settles in and says make no doubt about it we are at a time of War, Spiritual War. War on Human kind, war of loosing who we are all meant to be. So it is very important that we do what is necessary to bring about that same calm and peace that the Dove represents to the world to ourselves. Let go of the things that bind us, learn the lessons from them and release it all so that the lesson will not have to be repeated. If it is guilt for something you thought, did or contemplated… let it go you can not change the past. However you can change the path ahead by learning and not repeating.
The Dove shares that it is the same of grievances against us… we can not change them but we can understand them and forgive so that it can also be released. Why are we allowing them to define who we are. It is better to walk forward and have the understanding and knowledge of all of this so that we can become stronger, better, wiser and more compassionate for others that are within or Sacred circles.
So Dove speaks to us by saying, Live life by becoming who you are meant to be and be that shining example of Peace that can be attained if we desire to do so.
Dove teaches us when it is time to soar to new heights by using the element of air, “the wind beneath your wings”. That we must trust in the Universe, in Creator God for they are there supporting us, assisting us, but they will not choose or do the work for us. That nothing will prevent us from attaining our goals except ourselves. So we need to Trust and have Faith in all that is Sacred has purpose, has reason.
Dove reminds us to stop and breathe in the 7 Sacred breathes, letting go of the inner storms that are stirring and tap into the inner peace that can be found deep in our very souls. That what we are seeing is the chaos of the storm, and that after the storm is calm and beauty, for what we are seeking to attain is attainable and will be if we stay strong and show patience with the situation. They also represent peaceful resolutions can be found. They also represent travel time is approaching, perhaps in meditative state or in a physical sense.
May the Divine Spirit reach You and fill your being with Love and Joy of the Day…

It is not enough merely to teach the ways of our Elders. We must honor those traditions by sharing and educating the World. Inspiring others …Inspiring our Youth. Through the Music… the Arts…the stories… WE All need to become proactive in saving our planet, the creatures that live upon it, and each other
Blessings to You ALL,
