The wildest thing happened awhile back.
A man was sitting with back against a sign post at an intersection. He was wearing a Batman mask, a half faced mask. Sitting there, he was resting his wrists on knees, head tilted back in what appeared to be meditation. He had no sign. Passing, I saw his beard was salt and pepper, well trimmed. It freaked me out a little, what with white hats and black hats and talk of Batman and who knows what.
Today, I went through the same intersection. As I slowly approached the intersection I saw a man wearing a Batman mask. He was furiously whittling on a walking stick, taking the bark off or something. As I approached, I rolled down the window. He walked over and I handed him a tuna/cracker combo pack and told him I liked his mask. His beard was yellowed, matted even. He was high spirited (not stoned). He thanked me happily, wished me a happy new year as I drove off.
I sit here, wondering about the first man I saw. Can I trust my own vision? 🧐😳🤔😉
Perhaps the first vision was my shape-shifting guardian Angel.
One can dream. 💯🥰💥
One can build this into one’s personal reality. And this, I choose to do.
Blessings.
When I was a girl, my dogs and I would go strolling through the wilderness. Whenever we’d come across a snake, they would paw and dig furiously at it, finally picking it up in mouth and flinging it out into the forest somewhere.
Dog :: reminding us of what is important in an upside-down world.
As I was half dozing last night/this morning, I was thinking about the thought forms in the collective field … those viruses of shame, guilt, anger, lust, those ideas we aren’t good enough, or worthy, those thoughts encouraging folks to think lowly of self, to hate self, to want to end self … and I called on the holy canine to sweep the collective field, rousting out these snakes and doing their thing to clear them.
I woke to near silence.
May all who work so diligently on behalf of the Divine, the Sacred called Life flowing within all beings and things, be blessed abundantly, surrounded by the Might of the Most High, protected, guarded and guided as they move in this world.
There’s a difference between seeing an other, admiring them, then copying them trying to imitate their existence in every way, shedding any sense of self … and … incorporating into the neural highways of one’s own mind, character and Self., those qualities which instill a greatness being birthed and expanded into an ever increasing “big bang” development of personal awareness.
You are a master at studying your environment. You take on the good qualities of those around you, and you leave the negative behind. When you’ve learned all you are able, you extract yourself. Then you implant self into another environment, and glean those new-found qualities in others, examples which can assist personal growth and expansion.
If people are unwilling to present self transparently, there’s nothing to embody, nothing of truth being presented as an offering, of a particular life. There’s nothing offered to present a growth opportunity in the environment.
So you go to another source, another meet-up, church, social function. Over and over again, you flow into situations and groupings, absorbing everything your discover that sits right with your soul … learning as much as you can, about as much as you can.
People are fascinating! There are so many unique ways of approaching life, and a never-ending example of greatness … all one needs do is pay attention, and learn.
We don’t have to take on every characteristic of those in our environment at any given time. We get to choose the building blocks from the examples we fill our environment with.
Creating Self.
What a Treasure!
What a Song!
Just before dozing off, a message arrived:
“Choices are being made for those who didn’t choose.”
Thank you Heavenly Father, the Most High Creator, thank you to the One with All Authority, for giving me the easy job.
Thank you for allowing me to rest in gentleness.
Thank you for taking the position of Judge, and deliverer of Justice, away from me.
I am grateful.
Here are a couple interests for the morning out of one of my favorite authors books. I wish you many blessings. May health and spiritual abundance be yours.
I pray with gratitude for all the strengths and wisdom I’ve gained through suffering. I know it is sometimes the fastest way to gain knowledge. Since my life mantra has always been to “learn as much as I can about as much as I can” I try to stay in a state of grace while in a challenging position. Falling apart is often a way to gain wisdom and strength and courage to overcome whatever it is, in future scenarios.
It’s those “invisible friends” that assist us in the darkest hours. Be grateful, when the seen world and the people in it force you to step back, it will bring you to those who truly wish to assist you. Embrace them, even while the seen world insists they aren’t real.
One of the most wide spread habitual patterns among people is telling others what they should do to get along better, even without request. It’s a curious thing. Is it collective hypnosis? Why are people so concerned with molding the lives of those around them?
Maybe because that’s the role of parent, and most people are parents?
From personal experience, as one who used to point at the world outside self and say it needs to be fixed … a solitary life of shadow work during the past 20 years has led me to completely reformat my inner world, my Self.
It changed everything.
The common raven is a fascinating and highly underrated bird. They’re beautiful, but also extremely intelligent. Their brains are relatively large for their size, and they’ve been known to craft and use tools, plan for the future, barter, play games like hide and seek, and mimic human voices as well as man made sounds like an engine starting.
A group of ravens is called an “unkindness” (maybe because they’re so tricksy), but they do have friends…as well as enemies. They remember faces and have episodic memories- they remember human faces and characteristics in association with an emotion or event. They also remember being cheated or conned, and have been known to hold grudges for up to a month!
Ravens are very worldly birds, and can (and do) live pretty much anywhere. Their populations are exploding, and they’ve found ways to adapt to and take advantage of encroaching human environments. But they’re one of the few rare species that has.
Ravens are everywhere, and witness to everything; every effect of climate change and act of environmental destruction. This drawing, titled “Messenger” conveys a raven as the communicator between humans and nature. The vintage pocket watch, nearly at 00:00, is a message that we are nearly out of time, with a red ribbon marking it as urgent. While ravens themselves may not be currently endangered, they still rely on us the conserve and protect their natural world.
This drawing is based off a beautiful reference photo by the talented @ladzinski 🙌🏻

The sky is blue because it’s the waters of the heavens. The previous deluge was caused by a hole being punctured in the firmament. Ninmah swore her children would never be drowned again. You see Elon’s rockets exploding in a burst when it hits the firmament? They’re trying to drain the heavenly waters, create a breech.
