Today I made room in my day to walk the dogs at the off-leash park. We had a short break in the rain, and I knew that the dogs would not appreciate that I would not have a chance to walk them in the following two days.
The air was thick with moisture, but it was a good feeling, being a little on the cool side that day. The grass had been cut, it had grown dramatically over the past two months. My smaller dog could feel lost in the growth. The aroma of cut grass lingered in the air.
As I walked toward my hummingbird meeting place I whistled, seemingly for the dogs, but I knew it was for the birds. No one came this time. This is okay, I am sure I will see one on my return to the car. We walked down the hill and circled around the field. Stopping for a sniffing, exploring rest along the way, I found a four-leaf clover, then another. I decided to stop at ten, and enjoyed the energy and interpretation of each number as I glanced around for the next discovery. Ten is good, the number of manifestation.
As we walked back up the hill I reflected on these finds. Circling onto the upper level, and the path that hugged the fence, my thoughts drifted toward our need to find answers, or explanations for the things that enter our awareness. I don’t need a reason for ten, but my mind seeks a meaning, and enjoyed the idea of manifestation. It’s all okay. Today has been a lovely walk.
We rounded the last bend before the parking lot, and I whistled again. I stopped and waited. No hummingbird today. I could feel the presence though. Their presence was not restricted to a little body on a branch, but in the air, the trees, and the colors. “Someday you will no longer need us”. I knew this to be true, but still held on to the interludes, longing to continue this relationship.
Somehow I new that this absence had nothing to do with a lack, and could not be defined as “missing out”. This day’s message fit nicely with an earlier awareness and posting on my Keen site. “When we are complete within ourselves we no longer feel the need, and have more space to welcome others into our lives. Some day you will no longer need us”. Today has been one of those days.
