Touch The Moon

The Angels say that we are too focused on the material.  To translate, what they mean is that we do not dream the lofty dreams that our Ancestors had.  Instead, we are caught up in texting, tweeting, face-booking, emailing, and gaming.  All things we do with our heads down to our phones, ipads, tablets, or computers.  We stare into technology instead of reaching out to the Universe at large.  

Today, try to touch the Moon.  Imagine all the ways that it might be possible.  What would it mean to you?  To others?  

Blessings,

Elk and Friends

Elk always knows where the sweetest grass is, and where the water runs clean and pure.  The legends speak of Elk’s ability to talk with the earth, the rocks, the trees, and all that is with them.  If you look in the picture above, you can see the face of a guardian in the rock face.  The Guardians look after the Earth and the animals.  The Guardians are friends to the Elk, and protect them while their antlers are growing. 

Blessings,

Appreciate Your Parents

The picture says:   Heartbreaking image by an Iraqi artist taken in an orphanage.  This little girl has never seen her mother, so she drew a mom on the ground and fell asleep with her.  

“Appreciate what you have, since you don’t know what you’ve got until its’s taken away from you….That’s when it is too late.”

I have nothing that I can add to this.

Angels Care for the Earth

 

Dear Ones!  You do not realize how often that we walk with you, and how often we care for the Earth, all the animals, for you, and, really, for all Beings on the planet.  This is a very delightful time.  Although we hear you say that it is chaotic, we see huge levels of change.  We see people being kinder and healthier than they were a decade ago.  We see hope, and light, and laughter.  We do see the grimmer things that upset you so.  Remember, these are paths that each participant has written.  These are steps they want to take.  Sometimes it seems that there is no justice, as you call it.  Yet, we see everything in balance.

Try looking at a bigger picture, and you may see the beauty of the way things work.  It is never about you or you or you (as we point fingers at different people); it is about the all, or unity or the Universe.

Love to all of you and peace be with you too.

The Angels

Be Still

 

The poster says:  Finding Stillness

Zen meditation, or “zazen” begins with stillness-both of the body and the mind.  This isn’t passive; it’s an active state of being fully present.  Sitting in silence, we create space to observe what arises without distraction.

**************

When the world seems to busy and crowded and you feel overwhelmed, going to stillness may resolve the problem.  Our being is surrounded by noise from people and machines and from the constant vibrations from cell towers, tv towers, and electrical items in our homes.  For many, meditation is the way to move out of the noise and find a space that is truly yours.

Try it today.

Blessings,

Judy

Spring Equinox March 20 2026

 

When Is the First Day of Spring 2026? In 2026, the March equinox happens on March 20 at 10:46 A.M. EDT. This falls on a Friday and is the astronomical beginning of the spring season in the Northern Hemisphere and the autumn season in the Southern Hemisphere.

Celebrate by hosting a meal with friends or with family.  Have a bonfire and offer up tobacco to the heavens and the spirits.  Set intentions.  Let go of the things that hold you back by releasing them to the fire.

Blessings,

Judy

Black and White

I was sitting on a Zoom call several months ago, and someone said that nothing is ever black and white, quite emphatically. My mind began to spin!  So many things are black and white… horses like the one above, or skunks, or pandas, or penguins, or rabbits, or magpies.  My mind whirled.  Zebras and Holstein cows and Dalmatian dogs and Puffins and Orcas (killer whales).

So what is that special coloration about?  I wondered for a minute.  In the material world, we have created so many things that are black and white like soccer balls and barcodes and cars (police cars).  I began to think that black and white is a warning that we need to look beneath the wrapping to see what is really going on.  Black and white is a warning for us to find our own truth and follow up on it until we are satisfied that we have learned what we need to learn.

Blessings,

Beaver - Clean Up Your Act!

Beaver has been showing up in strange places.  Mostly, though, she shows up in places that have been contaminated or wrecked in some way.  Her message is clear!  “Clean up your act!” she says.  

The clean up is about getting rid of junk – compressing it down into the smallest component and giving it away.  She also is commenting on the throw away stuff that is so prevalent in the city world.  She wants to get rid of containers that are plastic and harmful.

She points to the north where beavers have built a huge inland lake to clean up the toxicity of the land.  If the animals can do it, you can do it too!

Blessings,

Judy

Mandala

 

   This image comes from Unsplash.com 

What is a mandala?  Wikipedia says: “ A mandala (Sanskrit for "circle") is a geometric, usually circular, symbolic pattern representing the universe, wholeness, and the cosmos in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Shinto. They act as spiritual, meditation, and, or ritual tools, with intricate, symmetrical designs organized around a central point to aid, focusing attention and promoting, inner, peace.”

For those of us that do not have an Eastern belief system background, we recognize the circle, the design of the circle, as the circle of life, or of the Universe design of completeness.  It resonates with us.

Sometimes, you find a mandala (a spiritual symbol) that resonates for you so loudly that you can hardly hear.  The symbol may be quite specific or it may be filled with indefinite shapes.  Whatever the layout, there is “something” in it that helps you focus and to become balanced.

A mandala may be used to set and hold sacred space for something, or, for clearing, if the mandala is highly regarded.  It may be what helps you find your center in meditation.

This is the day that you start looking for your mandala, if you do not have one.

Blessings,

Judy

Fire Across The Mountains

Right now, so much change is happening in the world.  Often, when we think of fires, we think about the fires in forests, up the mountains, that consume thousands of acres of vegetation and destroy the homes of animals and often the animals.  Soon, the fires in Canada and the United States will be happening again.

The Angels remind us that often, when we see disaster, that newness is happening.  In the Tarot, the Tower card has fire in it.  The card is about change.

The fires that plague forested areas and put residences in peril, are part of a natural cycle of renewal.  Most things in the natural world have an expiry date.  Sometimes, Nature takes a hand to cause a forest to re-grow with a different main tree, or a meadow to re-grow without a certain weed or other plant.  We may study Nature for ever and not understand the cycles and attrition that happens as a matter of course. 

When fire happens, there are some messages:

• What is it that needs cleansing?
• Is it time to ignite your life with passion for something?
• What part of you burns with anger, and why? 

Blessings,

Judy

The Real Journey

The poster says:

It may be when we no longer know what to do, we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know what to do, we have begun our real journey. —— Wendell Berry

*******************************

I have many friends who are currently changing their job or career, their home, and even their spouses/partners.  It is a time when we are being called to a different path then the path we have been on.  For some, it is joyous, as they now get to do what they have always wanted to do.

For others, it is an adventure, and with it comes some fear, because the path is unknown, and sometimes, it means leaving everything behind.  As we walk forward, what we had, drops away.  We cannot go back!  Yes, people say you can go back.  However, the truth is that everything changes and even in going back, you do go back to something new.  Sometimes, going forward is the better option.

What do the changes mean?  More and more, I think it is about choosing to recognize what is right and what is wrong.  We are born with this kind of intuition.  Yet, many of us trade it for unanimity.

What is your choice, today?

Blessings,

Judy

Badger Says - Dig In!

One animal that is very in tune with the Earth is Badger.  She digs many dens and will burrow after prey, if it is worthy prey.  She is always busy and it is not often that she is at rest.  When she is resting, she provides her teachings.  This time, her teachings are about “digging in”.  

• If you decide to take something on, then dig in and do it with the utmost thoroughness.  There shall be no sloppy work!
• Find a healthy diet and dig into the farmer’s markets to get the best and freshest of the produce.  This food will nourish your body and spirit.
• Find your passion and dig into it to make it your life work.  All people with passion create “something” that lasts and becomes a legacy.

Rooster Opens The Show

Early in school, we learn that the day starts in the country with the Rooster crowing up the Sun, and telling the animals and humans that day is starting.  From that place, think of Rooster as the Master of Ceremonies for each day.  Rooster crows that “a really big show is starting” and that truly describes the miracles that happen each day.  

Unfortunately for many people, because their head is down, and because they are self absorbed, they miss the beginning of the show.  They miss the commentary by the master of ceremonies, and they miss the magic and the miracles.  If people do pay attention, they focus on those things that are dark and appear broken.

What if you had a rooster to awaken you each day to the beauty of the rising Sun?  What if you could harness the energy of the miracles? What would you do?  

Do it now!

Judy

Giraffe Says Stand Taller

We have all hear the motivational words about working harder to go beyond our limits which implies that our limits are self imposed.  Perhaps they are; perhaps they are not.  Who is to say?  What is interesting however, is that Giraffe has been appearing almost daily to me in some form.  She may be in a picture, a painting, a vision, on a blog, or even on a billboard.  Usually this kind of repetition means that there is a message on hand.

Giraffe brings messages about:

• Stand taller; stand with confidence
• If you can reach your dreams, your aim is too low 
• The higher the leaves, the more energy they carry from the Sun and the Universe
• Sometimes, change does not happen unless you stick out your neck

Loving Kindness Meditation

This meditation is a re-statement of the Buddhist “Loving Kindness Meditation”. 

LOVING KINDNESS MEDITATION

(Take a deep breath in)

(Speak this line on the out breath) May I be filled with loving kindness,

(Take a deep breath in)

(Speak this line on the out breath) May I be well!

(Take a deep breath in)

(Speak this line on the out breath)  May I be peaceful and at ease

(Take a deep breath in)

(Speak this line on the out breath) May I be happy!

The next round replaces the word “I” with “you”.

The third round replaces the word “you” with “we”.

March 1 2026 - Blessings

The poster says:

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting  - a wayside sacrament….and thank God for it as a cup of blessing. —Ralph Waldo Emerson

******************************

As we move in to March, remember that there are many types of blessings.  Actions that seem harsh may turn out to be exactly what you need.

The blessing may be:

-missing an accident

-a bird song

-someone offering you home made cookies that they brought to the office

-a smile and a pat on the back.

The angels tell us that often, we are so busy in our heads and looking at how we can show how smart we are that we forget to look for the blessings.

May March shower you with blessings!

Many blessings,

Judy
