The Trefoil Muse

I am traveling the middle world from west to east.  I know that I am from earth but not of it.  Today though, I must join my human family as it is a time of celebration.

The eagles are crying out in distain.  Their shrill whistles permeate the air as I temporarily exit the higher realm.  Their piercing screams remind me that they will continue to support my efforts to rise above human drama and past mistakes.  I remember the lessons that I have progressed through then breath through self-doubt, illusions of fear and vanity.

My family is very unassuming.  They accept me for who I am.  I am the one who self judges.  I am very hard on myself so, I prefer not to take on someone else’s illusion of who I am.  Ego is hard to be rid of.  However, ego demolishing makes you wise.  It is very humbling.

It is hard to be a leader because people want to follow those who are wise or humble.  Sometimes, they put you up on a pedestal that is impossible to uphold or maintain.  I have no desire to be on that type of a pedestal.  I prefer to simply be myself.  Although, I have a strong desire to be the best that I can be, my preference is just to be happy doing whatever it is that I’m meant to be doing at the time.  Now, if that led to an invitation to stand behind a podium for a sharing of mutual empowerment, I would be very accepting and grateful for the opportunity.  This would allow all involved to achieve victory and freedom because we all chose to be present in order to experience the joy of shared wisdom.  I like to share. This is what I try to teach to others.  But they don’t understand.

I say to them, “I cannot be your leader.  I may be able to assist you during your journey but, you must follow your own lead.  Be an individual, revel in your differences.  Share as you are guided. This is what it means to lead by example.  This is what it is to be happy; joyful.  This is the true essence of love.  Love yourself.  Take the small steps.”

Unconditional love means that you love someone no matter what.  You understand that people have their own ideas, perceptions and path in life and, you are okay with that.  Sometimes, you see, hear, feel and know things about their choices prior to the actual unfolding of them.  Being at peace means that you quietly observe without judging another’s path.  To begin with, peace can be difficult because it is necessary to rise above human drama and pain.

My family has done well.  I honor their choices. Some of them have traveled a very long road, they are wise.  We share tidbits of information we have learned along individual paths this helps lessen confusion.  Many family members have earned their wings, some have earned feathers.  It is definitely a time to celebrate.  Enjoy your life, share with your family.

Remember, unconditional love isn’t selfish, possessive or attached.  These things bring insecurity and weakness.  Be pure of heart.  Recognize your imperfections, be at peace with them but work at them when they arise.  Be humble.  Give thanks for your life and for all of creation, this will free you of anxiety, fear and doubt.  Earn your feathers.  Become free.

“Feathers”

Feathers are gifts from heaven to let you know,

Angels are near by,

Become aware of your wings,

Fly

I have gained wisdom and learned humility through my lessons with the drum – my heart.  My quests for freedom, have allowed me to earn feathers which afford renewed strength for travel.  It seems that I have evolved. I have managed to gain enough feathers to fly to the next stage.  Sometimes when we progress in life, it is necessary to let things go or incorporate them into a new area of our life

True, there is an ending here but every ending brings about new growth or visions for the future. When we allow ourselves to grow, it is a time to celebrate the life that was and the life that is to be.

I am enjoying this new found freedom.  I am flying high.  Earn your feathers, become aware of your wings, fly.
