The Sunshine Observer: SO… V39

Practical Life

Today was quiet on Sunshine Lane. I called the local vet again and spoke to the receptionist as the Dr. was in surgery. Turns out they are nursing a hummingbird with a broken wing too. They said it might possibly heal, it depends on the bird and injury. They say if the bird doesn’t heal, they’ll euthanize it. I did not like hearing that but can understand. They also said its possible to keep a broken bird if they are not suffering. Meanwhile I have been ignoring outdoor chores…

I spent a lot of time contemplating whether Bert might be suffering. While she is desperate to escape, I don’t think she’s suffering. But how can I really know?

Perhaps Bert is like a little fairy here to teach us. She is a magical creature to marvel at. So tiny and delicate. I think about how her circumstance is much like ours. In captivity, wanting to be free. But the risk for her if we let her go is certain death within hours.

For us, we have new insight to the dangers of the world beyond our homes that has changed us forever. This is a sea change. We will never walk about the earth in the same way as the past. Our new consciousness for our safety makes us different. In fact, we are more present. We’re forced to be. This takes time to get used to. Our homes are different too. They have a new role; it needs to support most our needs now. Especially that of sanctuary.

As I was meditating earlier, I imagined myself as Bert, with her beak coming out of the top of my head. She often reminds me of a fractal in certain positions, hence today’s picture.

“I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together”– John and Paul

Our daily 5-minute meditation. Waxing moon increasing in light moving toward First Quarter.

Preamble

You may have noticed we are repeating the same mediation as last month as we follow the phases of the Moon.

As we move toward the first quarter, it’s a good time to make decisions and act in alignment with intentions. Stay in the flow, step over fear, no scab picking. We are changing and change disturbs fear and our murky depths. Don’t judge it, just hear it, feel it, sit with it. Part of our truth is our shadow. We are not trying to fix anything; we are perfectly imperfect. We are the magicians of our life, formations conceived from love will succeed.

Meditation

Still waters run deep
observe them
do not disturb
