This was a good day for a walk, and I allowed myself enough space between my thoughts for a little energetic recess. I must have been doing something right, for the idea came clearly into my awareness with great gusto. “Recognition animates us”. I stopped for a moment, gathering the thought before it could slip away. As I continued the walk I pondered the meaning, and found it to be exciting and true. I spoke to Great Spirit, and asked for help in defining this concept and incorporating it into my life. The answer to my request came more clearly than ever before, for when I looked down what was before me: a four-leaf clover. “Well now, I’ll accept this sign!”, was my response. My energy soared as I picked up this rare gift, and I basked in gratitude and enjoyment.
As I rounded back toward the hill and journeyed back to my car, I spotted the hummingbird in the distance flying about the hillside and disappearing just as quickly as he appeared. “Okay, that’s the way this day is”, I said, “I’ll take whatever you want to share”. I knew they were watching me. My pace slowed a little, for part of my energy was busy digesting the theme of this walk. I still would not comprehend the story until much later in the day.
I called this posting “Capivated by his Presence”, for that is what happens, I stand there fully engrossed in my dialog with the hummingbirds, facinated by their dance and magic. They showed me on this day the value of recognition, something we all seek.
I’ve asked the question many times, “why are intuitive readings so valuable?” You see, each time I ask the question I am presented with another level of awareness, and even more recognition of our spiritual paths. The hummingbirds come out to visit me because I ask them, and appreciate their presence. I don’t know who benefits more from this interlude, but then again I can only speak for myself: with each encounter I am offered a greater awareness of myself, a new level of spiritual awareness, a big HELLO from the universe, and the chance to be captivated by my own presence.
Great Spirit joined in this festive day by giving me recognition through a simple little piece of clover. The hummingbirds showed recognition through their appearances. Spiritual recognition is an incredible thing, it does animate us. To receive recognition of our presence is a precious gift, whether that recognition comes from within, from Great Spirit, other people, or the animal world. I am truly captivated by the presence of all who cross my pathway, and every day with each and every session there is opportunity to know that animated feeling when our spirit presence is known.
