“Listen to the wind; it talks.
Listen to your silence; it speaks.
Listen to your heart; it knows."
- Anon.
Have you ever had an encounter with an animal in which you felt strongly guided? Perhaps protected.? Was it even life-saving in some
way?
My husband and I see a lot of hawks. Both our daughters and their families do too.
Several years ago, our daughter, Krista, was about to drive her children to pre-school, when a hawk, with his wings spread wide open, came and stood behind her car. All attempts to cause the hawk to move failed. It seemed as
if that hawk was deliberately blocking her way. Even though she never uncovered a definite reason for the hawk's action, she felt that she and the children were being protected by the delay.
It is believed that when a hawk appears, he often carries a message.
It may mean go after your dreams and that you will have clear vision when you do. It also may be guiding us in a protective way, as it seemed that day for Krista.
Whether or not we are interested in animal symbolism and guidance, let's appreciate the beauty of the natural world. Let's also tune in and watch, listen, and learn what nature may be trying to convey to us at this time.
Let's also listen for the soft voice of wisdom within our hearts.
THE TENTH GIFT IS WISDOM.
Guiding your way, wisdom will lead you
through knowledge to understanding.
May you hear its soft voice.
