The metaphysical, although I didn&#8217;t call it that back then.  I completely believed with every ounce of my soul.  I listened to the flowers and the worms, I had an honorary burial of a cricket in a banana peal because I believed that this cricket needed to be sent off to the spirits properly.  So it is no surprise that I continue to listen&#8230; I listen to anything that will talk to me.  And I hear things.  Things with meaning.  Loaded with meaning.  Dripping from the movement of the trees, flowing from the cloud arrangements.  I hear the universe talk to me.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday I went for a reading, yes, another reading.

Then I went home and attempted to speak with them myself&#8230; moments fleeting with feelings and pictures engulfed me.  After 45 minutes I was more alert and clear full of love and life.

I have to look up the meaning of this animal.<\/p>\n<p>I hear from this hawk that I must rip out the threads of self created illusions, to surrender anything that does not align with or honor the integrity of all life.  But of course, like the reading&#8230; I feel silly for asking.  Because I already feel this happening within&#8230;. since I am always listening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a little girl I was obsessed with magic both trickery and the untouchable.
