autumn: where nature & spirit swirl together...

~under the full snow moon~

 

~i name my fears & burn them~

 

~with crow over my shoulder~

 

~i smudge~

 

~my first medicine wheel on 11.11.11~

 

~going deep within~

 

~it's sometimes hard to see the path ahead~

 

~it had been overgrown with so much fear & doubt~

 

~but now i realize that my skin is my own to shed~

 

~and so it begins~

 

~a new way of seeing where things are not limited to black & white~

 

~where beauty is mine to name~

 

~and my dream is protected~

 

~where animals guide me~

 

~and community is what i choose to make it~

 

 

~where life is abundant~

 

~and a new journey begins~

~reindeer~

 

reindeer is about movement and finding your inner peace and your place as you walk through life. 

if a reindeer makes its appearance in your life the lesson may very well be that it is time for you to step up and take an active role in caring for the herd.

i made this for her as coyote is her spirit guide...  it shows her stepping out of the realm of the spirits & onto the earth to teach us of our own potential under the light of the full moon.

Elke, I'm so happy that you are banishing your fears and taking positive steps to make your dreams come true. They can and they will. You are strong and ready!

I love the way you tell your story with such evocative images! I'd love to see a book done this way.

You are such a beautiful soul... I love the coyote.... I have personally had a huge shift in the past few months with wolf entering in powerfully as a guide, so the coyote speaks to me as a similar spirit-friend. I love you and I thank you for lifting my spirit today with this post! I believe powerfully that your body is stronger than your fears. Aho.
