Reading one of the postings on the press after my morning meditation I was struck with, once again, the similarities in what Spirit shows me during my walk and in what is happening on a deeper spiritual level.
The two descriptions given there were:
SYMBOL: “A little child learning to walk with the encouragement of his parents.”
KEYNOTE: “The natural assistance of superior powers during crisis of growth.”
Near my house is a park that has a pond. While I was out walking this morning I became aware of a woman that was pacing back and forth around the pond. As I was watching her I saw an older couple walk out onto the bridge over the creek that feeds the pond and begin nature watching. The woman soon struck up a conversation with them and it became apparent that she had a duckling with her that was not very old. During the recent rainstorms she had found two ducklings washed down stream orphaned and nearly drowned. She adopted one of them and took care of it for a couple days until it was well and was now seeking to reintroduce it back into the native environment (where a new parent would adopt it.)
During the crisis of growth this duckling was experiencing, when it could not care for itself, a 'higher authority' intervened to assist. Much like the current energies are like a rainstorm that are washing away anything that no longer fits, but our hands are being held through the process. As the crisis subsides we are 'reintroduced' to our new 'habitat'/life where Gaia and our Higher Selves can guide us.
