So today as sometimes occurs two cards sprang from the Deck… first to flip over was the Hummingbird who once again spreads it’s tiny wings over our day and then the Ram showed itself boldly and prominently on my lap!
So today as the Ram Pokes its big horns into view it brings with it the lesson of standing firm and looking to ones self for the answers we are seeking. Sometimes we need to climb higher than the white noise and chaos of our lives to be able to understand things in a better way. Today we should do just that and understanding that in doing so we will be able to look at ourselves and see how we best fit into the inner workings of things.
Ram tells us to watch and look at ourselves for we hold the key yo getting things done, but we must be truthful and honest about it. No sugar coating it, if we are right and can move forward …do so. If we are wrong admit it and make adjustments needed to balance once again. Rams are all about Balance and they are masters at it… simply watch them as they hop around the cliff fronts here they live.
The Hummingbird shows up to bring messages of remembering to be gentle and not harsh when you look at yourselves. Life isn’t supposed to be about judgments, it is supposed to be about the experience of the journey. So remember while you are working through things and standing to look into that situation, that mirror… take what you see and learn from it. Nothing is gained by beating ourselves up about things….so take time out to be gentler with yourself and then get what needs to be …done!
The Ram speaks to us of following our own truths, our souls journey and thinking outside the box. To take steps onto new paths and directions when called to but also to remember one must attain balance to do so, balance that occurs from respecting and honoring the Sacred, whether it refers to self or the Sacred around us. This will allow us to move freely and give us the ability to be our true self.
The Ram reminds us that having clear honest thoughts and insight will make us stronger beings of integrity. To not be afraid of what we find by looking in the mirrored image of ourselves, for we are human and with that said means we are all flawed.
It also teaches us that we can be tough when needed showing strength and skill at maneuvering through the obstacles thrown at us, but other times we need to remain in our spot to take care of what is needed with the highest of integrity. Look at self and answer with truth… are you really working for your highest good, or are you slipping and sliding through things not stopping to take that moment to be responsible and own your actions?
The choice is yours, but the Ram will guide us through it all, with head bent down hammering through the tough stuff to get us to that balanced spot on our ledge.
Hummingbird, symbol of resurrection, rebirth as they live each day and as the blanket of night spreads over the lands, these little birds become lifeless and appear to die. As Father Sun begins to awaken the world, his warmth touches the tiny wings and this little bird once again rises to the tasks of the day. Teaching us there is time for work and then we must have time to rest in order to revitalize our souls, our bodies and our minds.
Hummingbird brings the lesson of Joy with them, teaching us to remember the Sacredness of all life and how fragile it is. To remind us we must keep our Sacred Hoops in balance and honor our paths by remembering to slow down at times to feed, to gather strength and energy. To move in positives to attain our dreams and goals but do it in efficient ways, smart ways, thought out ways. Hummingbirds do not walk or hop, their feet are tiny and do not function as other birds, this is so they can be more efficient than other birds at their tasks. So with them they bring efficiency and teach us adaptability as well.
Hummingbirds show themselves when it is time to live your dreams in Joy and Happiness, understanding that the Universe, Creator God and the Ancestors are there to help us all, but you have to have Faith that it will come to pass.
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 from a Little bear and a Pip,
