raucous seagull - silent crow

The seagulls are restless this morning.  Actually, it is one lone seagull, but he is making enough noise for a flock.  The crows are swooping in and silently lighting on anything stable enough to hold them to survey the area for delicious treats.  

Seagulls are about freedom, joy, and perspective. They are considered the scavengers and will eat just about anything.  Typically, they hang out around the sea, only moving further inland when a storm is brewing. The seagull wants us to pay attention today to his message and seek out joy - soar in freedom - feel your power!   Freedom is a state of mind and of the heart.  Today let your heart soar on the wings of freedom and joy, no matter where you are and no matter what you are doing. Soar above the landscape of worry and petty concerns.  Feel the freedom from letting the weight of the world be released from your shoulders for a few moments.  Know in your heart that you have the power to overcome whatever is bothering you and weighing you down.  

Crow is a messenger of change. They like their seagull friends are also scavengers and both can teach us that no matter what we have it is a special treasure.  Even crumbs can be better than nothing.  Their message today is  "are you wearing yourself a little thin?"  Have you been focused and wrapped up in one small aspect of your life? Life is so much more than one worry or care.  

When I take the combined message of Seagull and Crows, I am given the sense that change is coming, and it is up to each person to soar above worrying about something they cannot stop or change.  Step into the change as an opportunity to experience freedom in your life.  Look upon the change with joy and know you did everything in your power to resolve the issue.  Even if the outcome is not what you were expecting, or wanting.  Even if you were trying every which way to Sunday to have a different outcome or to stop the change... it has or will arrive.  Accept it and within that acceptance soar above and see the joy and freedom, it is presenting to you.

 The adventure of your life will continue and you know what they say about hindsight...it is twenty - twenty!  Good things come from change - even if we cannot see the positive in the exact moment of change.
