Irritation or message to clear out and be ready for the new?
Returned from an amazing retreat to an infestation of fleas in my cottage! :(
As milo my dog had been looked after away from home, the little lovelies had a bit of a breeding frenzy in the hot weather...and waited for the first blood feast to enter! :)
So a quick 'retreat'. (Lol) and stayed elsewhere for the night... Pest control came and worked their magic and I can return to the cottage tomorrow... My cottage feels like it has had a mega clean out...shifting of energy out. Ready for the new!
So... Fleas... All about Metamorphosis. The Ability to alter time within the life cycle, Ability to trigger a birth process by the use of light, vibration, or the various components of air. :). Alchemists!
Namaste
Ps.. The retreat? A very subtle but still profound 12 days.. Much seeing about the need to be who I am..regardless of whether the seeming 'other' is aware of who they are or not! More authentic....no monitoring or adapting protecting either my self or theirs... As we are all one!

Retreat and fireflies...
Well... On an amazing retreat in Tuscany right now. Just a few days in and hotting up nicely. Still on crutches for slopes and rocky paths..but all good. Humbling to accept support from others...watching the play of self being 'independent' and also the honouring of the gift of others in their wish to assist...that is love.
Tonight a group of us watched the fireflies at play in the field and the trees,,,beautiful, then a beautiful lady managed to catch one to show us a close up. As it was released, it flew onto my neck and crawled into my shawl...it glowed all the way, every few seconds.
Amazingly, it stayed over my heart for a few minutes. We tried to capture the sight in a picture which was unsuccessful. I caught it and it crawled up my arm before flying away into the trees... Truly a magical moment.
Meaning of firefly...
This is about light, illumination, An ordinary looking creature during the day, the firefly is a remarkable sight when it glows at night. It uses light for communication. This is a symbolic message to us humans..that although our physical appearance may seem one way, it is our internal makings, what is inside us, that makes us shine from the inside out.
That which is with us will always illuminate us and those around us.
A powerful message for me as at times these past few months, I have become uncomfortable with how my human body is looking through being housebound and not being able to exercise....whilst at the same time KNOWING that the light within shines through...through my movement, through my eyes, through my smile.. Thank you Firefly for this reminder..

There is sickness, there are broken bones... I am not sick nor am I broken!
I am blessed...
There is sickness, there are broken bones... I am not sick nor am I broken!
I watched milo, my faithful dog being walked by his adoptive mama/walker across the fields on the downs.. I sat on a bench under a majestic oak tree, dappled sun, amazing views of the hills. As I watched them ramble away, I caught my mind saying "ugh'. Can't remember when I could go on such a ramble with milo"......
I Stopped because I realised there was a smile coming through my body, there was a joy...I knew that milo was loving his freedom, he was all smiley and bouncy, his adoptive mama was enjoying his company and I was feeling it all...sat on my bench under the tree. I had tears of joy, gratefulness and happiness that I could cultivate this joy out of this situation, 'this current bowl' I had been given ...instead of feeling sadness at some misguided thinking I was missing out, nonsense, I could feel their joy, I am part of it, we are all connected. Truly blessed.
My body sang with it.. I finished the book I had taken with me, I managed to cross my one good leg in "lotus' position, and I gazed at the flowers, the insects and the clouds.
Truly blessed and grateful for those that surround me, love me, support me. :).

Ps... The book I had been reading is "how to be sick" by Toni Bernhard. I recommend this for anyone with any illness, chronic condition! Amazing insights in there.... :).
