Reminders from the Waterfall
Often I need to be reminded of the truth. Thankfully, there is no shortage of wild-hearted, brave and beautiful truth tellers in this world and they are so intimately close - at the touch of my fingertips. And woosh, I am given the many gifts of their words, their messages, their passion for justice, restoration, magick, and the new earth dream that we all feel is possible in our hearts.
I am often one of the reminders. We need to be this for each other, sometimes, as we traverse these winding, often dark forest paths of life...we sometimes get lost in the forest, wander off the path, and we might find ourselves, for a little or a while, in a dark, unoccupied, scary part of the forest. But if we listen to the light inside ourselves, we find our way back to the light of the Whole.
I don't think it's ever been easier to listen to the call of Mama Creator, to perceive reality stripped naked and true. Portals are opening that have never been opened before. The web of life is stretching, opening, expanding, as we become more aware of our interconnectedness.
I am thinking of the rekindling of my love for animals now. Animals are beings full of personality, capable of complex feelings and reason and creativity, problem-solving skills, capable of feelings of love, passion, pain, fear, anger, and pleasure, to name a bit of it. They are also the most vulnerable and innocent of all creatures. Their lives are the most simple, and thus they live at the highest level of sophistication, something we as moon queens and kings are rebirthing into this Now, as we remember our own innocence and honor our own vulnerability and deep, complex, often messy feelings.
All the human-to-human abuse is easily traced to the way we treat our animal kin. At the same time, the way we treat animals is a direct reflection of how we treat ourselves. It is a karmic cycle, and one whose only sane response is to cut off, to end the abuse on all levels, now.
I was reminded today of the vision of a vegan earth, a vision that has been near and dear to my heart. I lost that vision for a while, or I thought I did, and so I am truly grateful for those who have held it high and let it blow in the wind for all to witness. This is changing things. It is working.
All the work we do, whether it is a carrying out of a merciful response to cruelty, or the inner work of loving ourselves and becoming more embodied, carrying light codes, and communing in prayer with Mother Earth and all the Guides, or whatever you are doing that you feel divinely called to do, it is working, and we are together in this magnificent river of life, this journey that every one of us makes uniquely, and while we are different we are also all the same. This is spirituality: the thing that is the same in me, you, and every other human and non-human being, every plant, every molecule of stardust and spinning atom. Being spiritual is relating to that thing in ourselves and others. This is experienced subjectively, as I believe objective reality is not the name of our game here on earth.
There are so many layers to it, infinite really, and for a while, I felt super raw in a state of disconnection because I felt so angry at myself and didn't want to use the tools and gifts She has given to me. Now I am.
I am a mermaid queen. This is who I am and who I choose to be, to embody more and more every day. This is my path, my priestesshood, my gift, my offering. From this place, I honor my sensitivity and my care for all life, my compassionate sense of being, my passion for justice and truth, and the love and beauty and rich super juicy goodness that springs forth when I live in my divine passion!
I will have so much to offer here, in hopes that I can offer you an anchor to your own remembrance, your own unique soul codes.
May this be a reminder to you if that's what you need and want.
Love and Aloha,
Amanda Michael, Mermaid Queen
