We have just discovered Nancy Gibson’s beautiful writing and would like to welcome her to the Wheel. She’s an artist, writer, and musician. We are told that she’s a fascinating person with all kinds of experiences, worldly and ethereal. We look forward to more of her writing.
I wakened to a flow of loveliness – not just the flowers in the Holly Garden outside my tall, wide bedroom windows, or the misty blue sky morning. I was being misted myself softly, warmly, as Nature’s greens and blues and cottony clouds greeted me.
Then I saw her – the dove on the birdbath. 6:30 a.m., sun just beginning to top the tall pines in the east. Just a flicker of sunlight touching dove’s back. And she sat, sat, sat, I moved slowly, raised my head, slipped out from under my summer blanket. Sat up. Dove turned her head, sat. I made the bed, watching, expecting her to fly off – as usually happened. Thirty minutes later, she had not moved. I wondered if she was ill, wounded.
Then I asked…and the answer rose within me. She was showing me today’s best way. Peace. Quiet. Peace.
Last night when I gathered with my friends I was told today would be topsy-turvy.
Of course the best way – Peace. ‘Twas only when I opened the door twenty minutes later that Dove flew off.
Listen, Dear Human World! Open your hearts to sky and forest, rivers and creatures of land and sea. Natural Realms of caretakers, devas, fairies, elves, spritely ones and their companions-in-spirit!
There is more, so much more waiting and eager to be recognized with love and delight.
