Firelight Blessings: Meditation Day 12

We had cleaned out Onyx's stall and left his large door open to air out the stall. Temperatures were in the high 20's. I found it interesting that Onyx stood at this exact spot after I let him back in. (I had moved him over to Harvey's area while we cleaned the stall.) I thought it was so odd that he was standing there, I actually invited him into his stall through the large opening.

Dan let me know later, that the reflection of the sun was so bright, that he could not see into the barn, when he was on the tractor. The sun's reflection was blinding him. Maybe that was happening to Onyx, too? I was glad that I had led him back into the barn earlier though, because if I hadn't, I would have been walking back out there to do just that.

Watching him stand at the exact spot as his door, made me think about something important to share. How many times do we wait for a door to open that is obviously closed and we miss the open door right in front of us? I know that I have. I have waited, sometimes crying, for the door to open again, instead of sliding over and taking the wide open door instead. Life would be so much easier, if we learned this lesson at a younger age and learned it well. Life is way too short to stand waiting for a closed door to open again.

Today is Tuesday. I wrote the meditation for Day 12 yesterday, but with all of the hustle and bustle, I did not take the time to publish it. That is OK. So, read on with that thought in mind.

Yesterday, (Sunday) I felt the call of the whale. I had decided that I would listen to a, "Whale" meditation, next. Interestingly, I listened to a lovely horse meditation, last night. (Saturday night) Halfway through, I remembered that I was going to listen to the Whale Sounds. Oops. This morning, before I was fully awake, I picked one of Debbra's meditations. "The Underpinnings of Wellbeing." From her "Little Book of Meditations, Volume 1.

I was quickly reminded that I was going to choose Whale Sounds when this mediation started out with a jumping Orca Whale. So, when this one was finished, I looked for the Whale Sounds Meditation. It was just what I needed this morning.

I fell asleep during the horse meditation. Which was perfect. I needed a good night's sleep. During the Wellbeing Meditation, my mind was busy. It was full of plans for the day, week and rest of the month. Don't ask me why, I thought I had let go of the busy mind. Nope, it was still with me, this morning.

When I listened to Whale Sounds, I saw a lovely whale. It was a ruby red electrical color. It was swimming through the waves, more like a dolphin. It was lovely and so darn peaceful, but it was on a mission, pulling me with it through the waves out into the middle of the ocean. When we arrived, the whale's calls, became louder. I could feel them all around me. I was one with them. We made a large circle that was moving around in a counter clockwise direction, in a large circle. We were still on the surface of the water. I noticed a tail coming up and going under water in front of me. It was beautiful.

At this point, the whales were gone, but the energy was still there in a circle. It was peaceful, beautiful, energizing and filled with love. It was the perfect send off for the day.

Speaking of the day. We have a lot to do. The weather is warmer, 25 degrees F. Since it is warmer, we need to fill the cistern with water, as it is almost empty. We need to split wood, because we burned almost all of the wood we had split during the very cold spell.

We also need to clean Onyx's stall. He lost his bedroom manners during the deep cold. He made a huge mess of his bedding instead of walking outside or going along the walls. So cleaning out his stall is first on the agenda. Dan will use the tractor to help us. We don't want to wait until the temps go up over freezing, because the tractor could create icy areas.

I don't think I will write a Medium story today. (True to my words, I didn't have the energy to edit and post a story because I was physically and mentally drained on Monday.) Hopefully, tomorrow! Though tomorrow,(as it turns out, it is on Thursday, so I had time to write today - Tuesday!) I have a Zoom Online Class, in the morning with Mavis Karn, an amazing 85 year old woman, who was one of the people who started me on my spiritual path. She helped me to look outside the box and listen to my inner wisdom. I want to soak up as much as I can, from her, for as long as I can. She wrote the book I bought for the school I retired from last year. I just love her and her messages for kids and adults. (I left this portion of my F.B. Post in today's story, because Mavis's messages change lives. I wrote a story that included her book, It's that Simple, a few weeks ago.)
