Animals & Plants Part of my "Tribe"

 Was sitting outside with my daughter Gracie. Sharing my scarf with her because it feels a bit chilly. She and her brother convinced me to come sit out here. Watching trees shed their leaves. On this new moon I’m just quietly being. Feeling into the energy around me. A quote I read when I was very young circles in my mind:

“At the centre of the Earth✨
Stand looking around you.✨
Recognizing the tribe✨
Stand looking around you.✨”

It has been swirling in my head for some time. For me it represents recognizing the animal and plant beings around me as part of the “tribe.” Also recognizing & acknowledging so many who are here to stand up for and with the animal and tree souls. Protectors. We are stronger together. None of us are alone on this path. There is more support and love around us than we can possibly be aware of.
As we go into holidays that can sometimes be difficult for those of us who feel the animals - those of us who are sensitive to jokes and constant ads about turkeys and things like that. You are not alone. Take time to be still in the midst of it all. Peace and love to your hearts.

I read it in Susan Seddon Boulet’s book of paintings called Shaman when I was around 15/16. Page 90 by a painting called ancestor. Not 100% sure if hers or something she matched to the art. If anyone knows more feel free to mention and I’ll add it to the post.
