Being Cradled...........

 

A Note from 71 Sunflower Lane……………my spirit knew, before I did, that the basket cover was to be placed on the bottom which symbolizes God gently cradling me during my journey. My spirit knows these things and waits for my mind to catch up.  Sometimes I do things, such as placing the cover on the bottom, then a few days later I understand why I did that particular thing. Sometimes I pick the basket up and the cover falls off or remains on the table.  It is a reminder, for me that I do leave God behind.  I start out trusting and ending wanting to do it my way.

Symbols are mirrors, so I know with every fibre of my being that I am the basket, while the Divine is the cover.   The Divine is calling me deeper.

 The interior of the basket reminds me of a mandala…….every mandala/journey begins at a point starting from the centre. The wooden strips branch out in many directions pointing to the many paths.  Some of those paths lead nowhere while others will have to be checked out and still other paths will lead me part way, only to realize that I will have to venture back to the centre. 

Isn’t that life……….travelling one path or another for a long time or a short time?

In a dream, I was asked to Be Still and Sit with God.  I woke up from the dream, sitting straight up in bed……….as the dream felt so real.

This morning my husband suggested that maybe I am being called to slow down as I am not 40 years old and can’t continue to move all the time.  He went on to explain that I don’t do just one or two things a day in the house - I clean, bake, do laundry, meals and then go snowshoe for 40 minutes or more.  I think he has a point………time to BE.

 Are you a Doing person or a Being person?

Do you have a symbol that speaks to you……….that mirrors your thoughts?

 

Thank for taking time out of your busy day to stop by..............hope you feel refreshed by being & maybe a few words will make you stop and think,  Enjoy the NB Sunshine.

See you Thursday...................................Marlene
