Legend tells us that Otter symbolizes female medicinal power . . .
Mindful awareness reveals that every man has a feminine side –
Just like a woman’s masculinity flows within her being.

In their femininity, Otters embody
an adventurous, joyful and friendly lifestyle . . .
Do you know the power of love without jealousy?
Have you experienced the joy of loving other people’s kids
and their accomplishments as much as your own?

Meditate on Mother Earth and Her oceans for a moment . . .
See how they receive our rivers, lakes and streams flowing into Her bounty.
Earth and Water are powerfully natural feminine elemental forces.
Good food and drink for the soul are they!

Like meditative internal martial arts –
Water gradually building momentum . . .
Flooding us with waves of Sacred Feminine tides into our energetic seas.

Do you need to become more playful like a child and simply allow things
to unfold in your life? Is it time to stop your addiction to worrying
about things that are out of your control? Are you clinging to material
things or fixed ideas that are weighing you down?

Otter reminds us to merrily row gently down life’s stream
and float in alignment with its universal waters.

We need more empathic unity in our planetary consciousness today.
Are you feeling misunderstood?
Try to see from the position of another
rather than clinging to your own perspective.
Perhaps you will notice waterfalls of compassion inundate your Being.

To accept the present moment as it is does not mean we condone what is.

Most of us stop at the target of our judgments and get fired up accordingly.
But being touched on our hot spots is an opportunity for radical self-reflection.

Instead of melting the ice . . .

Empower yourself to stand in your own personal authority.
You are here to be in the driver’s seat of your own life –
Rather than a passenger under the command control
of society, your friends and relations.

Remember to dive deeply beneath the surface of anger and
great barrier reefs of emotional negativity –
Scuba diving into inner calm peacefully.

Are your day-to-day operations akin to a rescuer model –
in a constant state of crisis and out of touch with tending your own garden?
In a results driven world, we need to let go of outcome.

With Mercury in Retrograde, logical-left brain
calculations do not appear to compute.
Better suited to let go of the shores and go with
a vulnerable, intuitive heart-centered flow.

Are we honoring the Sacred Feminine in our world?
In taking off the Emperor’s New Clothes . . .
When Love and Truth are our politics of living
A more safe and respectful community is –
organically mulched into our soul development.

See you further down the trails,
