Mockingbird

"The mockingbird is a symbol of overcoming fear.  They teach us to develop self-confidence, to speak our truth and stand up for what is ours by right."   So says the internet about this power animal.  This morning immediately following my morning rituals and meditation, I opened my eyes to a pair of mockingbirds flying from north to south and landing in the post oak tree at the eastern edge of the deck behind the Yogatorium.  The message is timely…….Yesterday was a lovely day of resting and relaxing most of the time in spite of the fact that we had to cancel the drum circle/fire ceremony last evening because of rain.  And that took some hours of indecision.   Still, all in all, it was a good rest day.  That's what Sundays are for, resting the body and feeding the soul - they seem to go together.  Unless the body is quiet, the soul gets lost behind all the doing.  Just being allows the soul to surface, and so it did.  Thanks be to God for such days!
