Animal messengers and teachers are all around us, stopping in to shout a "hey.. Pay attention" message. I am blessed to live in a rural area where I meet Animals on a regular basis. No matter where you live you will have meetings too. Sometimes they even come in the clouds.. as Animals On Parade.
Be aware, be open and you will meet a Messenger and share joy and enlightenment.
Here I will share with you some messeges I have received from Animals who have shared with me. I would love to hear from you and share your experiences here also. Email me with your encounter.
Butterfly 
This is the message of self acceptance, understanding and renewal. As the butterfly emerges from a state of being formed from within itsellf, so can we if we listen to the message. During the stage of our lives as a catapillar, we taste all that life has to offer. We fill up with all the enters into our space. We take within all the words, beliefs and opinions of others in our lives. We have many experiences, all values of them.
Eventually we reach the stage of needing to go within, to find our place of silence and inner self. During this period we cocoon ourselves in beliefs that we are comfortable with, that are familiar to us. We begin to see the effects of all that we have experienced. We find conflict and disharmony being created by the very things which we have taken within and claimed as part of ourselves. Finally after much reflection understanding comes. We throw off the limits and find ourselves standing with wet wings. We are not yet ready to fly, but know that we can. As we integrate these new truths and understandings daily into our lives, we realize that our wings have dried and now we can soar. We notice that all of life's experiences are like the many flowers in the fileds, we joyfully flow from one to the other, gathering nectar for continued insight and understanding. Others watching notice our flight and are encouraged that one day, they too will spread their wings and enjoy a new phase of life with total freedom.
I wish for each of us, the freedom, beauty and flight of the butterfly.
