 I’m standing in my garden marvelling at all the recent rain-growth 🌱after traveling more than usual lately -to soul stirring locations, one gifting me with a new jungle connection and more recently-the other re-connecting me with the island and sea of my childhood, the gift of sensing the energy there now as an adult and an intuitive.✨
I was able to “see” the magic that I felt growing up there-the constant vibrant colors of water and sky, the full power of waves crashing against the rocky northern coast and the gently rippling waves of crystal clear aqua with lavender to gold sparkles reflecting the sun’s movement on the southern beaches.☀️ One of the most amazing moments happened after I had been resting on a large raft, surrounded by water on all sides, and finally decided it was time to go back to shore, so I slowly started swimming back and I saw a wild native sea turtle. She was so beautiful.❤️She took my breath away. I gazed at her (I had a snorkeling mask) and held on to some rocks at the bottom to stay underwater (because it was shallow) and she was just going about her business. I noticed the tides would sort of sway her one way or the other, but she was unbothered by that and kept going. It was inspiring how she didn’t try to fight the currents but rather sort of allowed them to sway her and navigated around them ✨fully in the flow,✨literally and figuratively. This weekend I was working in the garden & while watering the tomatoes with a sprinkler I sat down on the ground and took off my gardening boots so I could feel the earth. I love all the tiny flowers (our grass is really mostly native “weeds” that we keep short -by choice- & it is emerald green and lovely.) It was the late afternoon golden hour, so the sun coming through the sweetgum tree leaves created filtered star shapes everywhere 🌟🌿and I was noticing how a tiny rose bush I planted years ago had wrapped around a pine and each small rose was lined at the edges with the same filtered glow. I decided to lay down on the grass & was soaking it all in, sending gratitude to each plant, to each insect that pollinates, to the birds that were flying overhead-just really feeling this-where for a moment everything was golden and sparkling ✨and I turned my head slightly to the right and this gorgeous wild bunny had come almost all the way up to me. He was framed by tall sun-illuminated plants while staring at me curiously and it was a moment of deep pure magic. ✨I had allowed myself to be in a place of complete connection and gratitude with the nature surrounding me and he was intrigued and wanted to get closer. ✨🐇I gazed at him for a little bit -memorizing each perfect detail. I didn’t have a camera but I wouldn’t have used it if I did- it felt like a moment suspended in time and any movement like reaching for a camera would might have altered it. I will always carry this visual “snapshot” in my memory of this beautiful bunny visit.💗
