April Magic

April has been a month of transformation.

Did you see the eclipse?
We watched the whole thing.
What an awesome experience.

In April we got our cool dragon statue to put beside
the Sandalphon Circle. We named her Queen Golden Smoke
because the day we set her up we went for a canoe/hike
by the lake and there were these beautiful
yellow wildflowers all covering the hillsides.
We found out later they are called Golden Smoke.
So we named our dragon
Queen Golden Smoke.

The other day our neighbor's white peacock Jonathan
came over to meet Queen Golden Smoke!

Well Steven and I both did get the flu in April but it wasn't too bad.
While I had the flu I dropped my iphone and shattered the glass!
My initial reaction was oh boy, now I can get a new iphone!
You see, I have been wanting an iphone 5 because several
months ago I found the coolest case for iphone 5 and
have been looking forward to the day when I could use it.
So Levi, the greatest son-in-law in the world,
bought me one for an early Mother's Day present!
In appreciation, I plan to do some really amazing
things with my new iphone 5s so stay tuned.

The night before I got the flu I dreamed that a bird flew into
a pane of glass and lay stunned on the ground. I woke up
from the dream feeling strange because it was one of those
dreams that seemed significant. Later that morning, I was
sitting on the couch talking to my sister, and a robin flew
really hard into the window. I went outside and the robin
lay stunned on the ground so I picked him up and held him
and sang Robin Song to him. Then I took him out in the woods
and set him down in one of my sacred rock circles, the one
closest to the house, so I could keep an eye on him. He didn't
look like he was going to make it. But after awhile he had
moved a few inches into the sun. He still looked pretty bad.
I walked out there every few minutes to check on him and
finally he was hopping around and seemed to be fine.
I was thrilled that he had recovered and also thrilled that I
had been given the gift of holding a robin in my hands.

That night is when I came down with the flu.
When an illness comes along, I like to think of
it as an opportunity for transformation.

 

April has been
a magical month
of transformation
and I feel new!
How about you?

 

 

Lots of Love and Joy
