Hurry, hurry; I mustn’t be late.

Hurry, hurry; for I have a date.

Hurry, hurry; I mustn’t forget.

No time to ponder, or I might be late.

(Isn’t it time to ponder? Yes? No?

There does come a time when pondering is the best thing to do. Yes? No?

-

Indeed my friends; pondering can be fun. It can take us to many places, real or not real.

Most ponder with the imagination; this is true. We would ask that you do as the Dragonfly; he ponders upon the real.

Too many ponder upon the ‘not real’. This, my dear friends, causes much angst. Indeed, this type of pondering is ‘for the birds’. You understand my dear, dear friends?  We do not like birds; no, dear ones; birds tend to have sharp  beaks, indeed.

Do you want to be ‘taken by the birds with their sharp beaks? Yes? No?

Should you answer ‘no’ dear heart, we would suggest that you refrain from pondering the ‘not real’, and concentrate your pondering upon ‘facts’. Oh yes, my friends. Pondering facts will have the birds not worrying you; you will be safe in the confines of reality; indeed.)

Monarch Butterfly Reflection

The way to your heart; indeed. The way to your heart is via the beauty that you see.

(Oh yes, my friends; beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And what, pray tell, do you see?

Come with me on a journey. A journey that could take as little time as it would take to blink an eye.

We do not mean to confuse, dear heart. No, it is not our intention to confuse. However, we see many being confused by their surrounds.

Indeed, dear ones; if it is death and destruction one sees in their surrounds, there would seem to be a need for compensation to be given should they perceive the entire world in this fashion. This is not the case, dear hearts. There is most certainly death and destruction happening in the world however, we would ask that you confine your thinking to ‘your’ world.

If you are one who is experiencing death and destruction we would ask that you turn your thinking to those who are not experiencing this situation.

Should you be one of those who is not experiencing death and destruction we would ask that you place your thoughts, not on death and destruction, for this will only enhance those energies; making them more powerful than they already are.

Does this seem like an impossibility, dear heart? Does it seem to be a significant ideal within the lives of humans? Is it possible to discount the death and destruction in the world, and allow yourself to refrain from thinking about it?

Some would say this is turning a ‘blind eye’, as it is said. Some would say that this is ignorance breeding ignorance.

We would suggest, dear ones, this is ‘life’ preserving. We would suggest that if you cannot do anything substantial, by way of making this condition better, than your thoughts will only contribute to the negativity.

Live your life with a sense of ‘presence’. Yes, that’s right. Live your life in whatever circumstances you find yourself. Do not place yourself in energies that are not of your making, or your good. No, dear hearts. This is what the Monarch butterfly suggests to those who enjoy its beauty. Live; not your brother’s; not your sister’s life. No, dear ones; this is their experience. Live your own life, and leave others to live theirs.)

Lady Beetle (Ladybug) Reflection

Lady Beetle  (Ladybug)   (Listen while you read) 


Lady BeetleWhat’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!

And this is what we have to say to you. Any other name presents the same energy.

If, for instance, a name is given; does it change the energy? No, it does not. Energy is energy is energy.

The name shall bring energies of its own however; it cannot nor will it ‘change’ the object; this remains the same.

So, when choosing a name be sure that you do not expect the object to resonate with the energies. No, this is an impossibility.

(Many do this; they choose a name that is liked in the hope that the child will resonate with the energies of that name. This is an impossiblility. The child will have its own energies and cannot resonate to any other energy other than its own.

We see this over and over again. His energies are of a ‘Charles’ and yet, his parents or guardians, give him the name of John in the vain hope that he will be like his grandfather. Others give the child a name of a famous individual hoping, in vain, that somehow the name will impart some of the success. We all do this; do we not? We hope that life will be kind and do as we can to ensure that kindness prevails upon those we love; and yet, this is folly to those of us who know. Each one will have the energy that was intended, and there is nought that can be done to change that.)

Bee Reflection

Bee   (Listen while you read)


 Hi-BeeHo, Hi-Ho it’s off to work we go.

And keep on singing all day long Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho.

(Yes, we love to work; don’t you? No..! Yes…? Well; what is it; yes or no? You can’t have it both ways you know! No, you can’t have it both ways.

Why n0t?

Because that’s just the way it is. You either like work, or you don’t. How can you like work and not like work?

Because there are some parts of it that I like and some parts of it that I don’t.!

Right. That sounds okay to me. Sure there are always going to be parts of everything that we like, as well as parts that we don’t. I agree. So, now that we have established that there are parts of things that we like and parts of things that we don’t like; where does that leave us? It leaves us knowing that it is okay to like some parts of something yet not other parts of that same thing. Nothing wrong with that. That is when we can apply the saying; ‘take what you like and leave the rest’. Doesn’t mean that we are vacillating; no. Doesn’t mean that we are fickle; no. Doesn’t mean that we can’t make up our mind; no. It just means that we care for some things, whilst not caring for others. Simple enough. Yes, simple enough.)

Tarantula Reflection

Tarantula   (Listen while you read) 


TarantulaWhoa; I say whoa; hold them there horses before you get all tied up!!!

(Better to wait to see if what you are about to do is really the best thing to be done at this moment in time.

Sometimes; I say ‘sometimes’ we can head out without enough thought before us; if you know what I mean!

Yep; sometimes; I say ‘sometimes’ we can think that we have a good plan; and yet, were we to think about it a little more carefully maybe; just maybe, we may find that we are going off a little ‘half-cocked’.

To be sure; we may have every right to our grievance ‘every right’, indeed. However; not every grievance needs a voice. No; sometimes it’s more prudent to ‘keep it to our self’; at least until we are more settled within. Know what I mean?

Yeah; sometimes the words that come rushing forth may evince a slight offence; unintended, of course…. however; painful to him who we serve this mêlée of projection…. Hence; a non-verbal show; a reluctance to converse; a thwarted line of defence; an untimely release of cynicism; a poor show of favour; so many inward and outward displays that may hinder our way, and make the future a little unsteady….

Well, enough prophesying; you get the drift!)

Ants (General) Reflection

Ants  (General)   (Listen while you read) 


AntsHubble-bubble toil and trouble; it’s up to me to get things done.

(What in the name of all things good are you doing?

Don’t you know that all good things come to those who wait?

Don’t you realise that wishing and hoping and day-dreaming are not the answer?

Yes?

Well then, why do you insist on wasting your precious time worrying about things? Why?

I’ll tell you why. You think that you have to do it all…. That is right. You think that you have to do it all and, do it right. Well, I’m here to tell you that you do not have to do it all. In fact, I wish you’d sit down and let someone else do it, for a change. That is right, my dear friend. We see you doing, doing and doing all of the time. Do we not? Indeed, we do.

Let it go, dear one. Let it go where all troubles go. That’s right. Let it go into the darkness where it will find company. That is right, dear friend. Worry not; all things will come right in the end if you allow. That is right. All things will come right in the end if you refuse to worry; refuse to work as hard as you do. Allow that which is rightfully yours to find its way to you; that is right.

Too many strive for things that they want to achieve without the realisation that that which is right will find its way to you. All you have to do is ‘want’ it to be so; see it ‘clearly’ in your mind; and then allow it to come, in its time. Hear that, dear friend, in ‘its’ time……)

Cricket Reflection

Cricket   (Listen while you read) 


Hush. Don’t tell anyone that we are here………………….

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………

(Move over brother; times a wastin’

Get your act together there’s no time to spare.

We hate to see others wasting their time. It’s so precious; it really is….!

Many can’t see that they play about doing nothing… That’s right…. Nothing…!

Can’t they see that life holds so much more? Can’t they see that if they took a little initiative that life would be grand? And yet they sit, day after day after day, doing nothing.

What’s up with that…!?

Plenty if you ask me.

If they didn’t have any legs, then I could understand them not going for walks. If they had no eyes to see I could understand them not wishing to see the beauty. If they were a tailor I could understand them not wishing to be a plumber…. if you get my drift. But heck…. When they are able bodied and nimble minded, yet do nothing… well…that’s just an insult to those who have no choice. Even those who have no choice do something, don’t they? Yes sir’ee… even those who have no choice can be seen climbing mountains with one leg; visiting grand sites of earth when they have no eyes to see.  Don’t you get it man…? Don’t you get it?

Oh boy… I’d better stop my rantin’; it does no good. If you got no get up and go, then you got no get up ‘n go. Can’t make that darn horse drink if he dunna wanna.)

Cockroach (General) Reflection

Cockroach (General)   (Listen while you read)


CockroachScurry-scurry here; scurry there; one can’t run away from everywhere. Look deep inside (if you dare) the things that trouble you; they are there.

(We all have various idiosyncrasies that can or cannot do us harm. For instance; we may have an idiosyncrasy that makes us stalk our lovers with the intent of ‘catching them unawares doing misdeeds’. Don’t laugh my friends, there are many who do just this; do they not? Indeed they do. This is certainly a behaviour that does harm. Some may disapprove of this however, this behaviour certainly does do harm. Then there is the example of an idiosyncrasy toward gaming. Does this do harm? It can for some; in others it can be just a pleasant way to pass the time. However; there are many idiosyncrasies that are perfectly normal and harmless. Such as; walking on the left hand side of the street. This is not an idiosyncrasy of self destruction, as it were. No, there are idiosyncrasies that we can accept as being a little odd, and yet not harmful. Can we all agree on that? Yes? I think the aye’s have it…!

Now that we have accepted the difference between behaviours that can harm and those; albe them a little odd, do no harm; this is a good place to start.

Many of us are troubled. Many of us have behaviours that do indeed trouble us. Many of us have behaviours that we’d rather not have. Many of us have tried, unsuccessfully, to rid ourselves of such behaviours that we know cause us trouble. Indeed we have. Have we not? Yes? I can hear you say yes, good. Now, what are we going to do with such behaviours that cause trouble?

Firstly: Our awareness is our best key.

Secondly: Our desire to be rid of these behaviours once and for all, is our second key.

Thirdly: We need to have an ‘enormous’ amount of energy; for, this energy is going to be needed to exert upon this behaviour every time that it surfaces. Indeed. This behaviour will not relinquish control easily and ‘will power’ alone will not have the desired effect. No indeed. To eradicate this behaviour from within we will need our fourth step. And what is our fourth step? We shall see.

Fourth Step: Nothing…. No, we need not do anything. Once we have become aware of the behaviour and have the ‘right’ amount of desire to be rid of it, it shall surely go.

Oh, I hear you say. That’s not right; I’ve tried that and it doesn’t work.

I shall tell you my friend. It has not worked because your desire has not been strong enough. When we really want to change and want that change with all our heart, with all our soul, then and only then will the change happen. Until then my friend, you will be suffering from your own lack of determination, lack of ‘want’, lack of the element necessary to create change. Simple, my friend. Desire is not only for those things in life that we want to have. No dear friend. It is also the inner substance needed to elicit change.

May I be the first to wish you success in whatever behaviour you wish to change.)

Wasp Reflection

Wasp   (Listen while you read)


A need to protect your ‘house’; i.e. your surroundings and body (physical).

(Well, don’t blame the messenger….. This is a saying that is heard often times. It means that we ought not to ‘take out’ our anger/disturbance upon the one who enlightens us. This is what the Wasp reminds us to do, or ‘not to do’.

The Wasp is a messenger reminding us to ‘take care’ of ourselves (in particular our physical body).

Many have a tendency to overlook the needs of the body; do we not? Yes, indeed many of us do this, constantly.

We remember to put petrol in our cars, empty the trash; remind ourselves to go to work, do the cooking, mow the lawns, etc., etc., and yet we can ‘forget’ to look after our physical selves.

A timely reminder (when we find a wasp a buzzing) is to say to ourselves. “Have we been ‘taking care’ of our bodies lately?”)

Praying Mantis Reflection

Praying Mantis (General)   (Listen while you read)


Preying Mantis

Hello brother, how are you?

Well enough of that frivolity; there’s work to be done…….

(Busy, busy busy is the Praying Mantis’ life. Up in the morning and off to work; no time to dilly dally; that’s right. We have an ethic and we must uphold it. We are secure in our own sense of self; not like many others whose favours go from this little piece of jetsam to that little piece of flotsam. No; it’s work, work, work, work, work; if you see what I mean.

                     Well yes, I do see what you mean however; I don’t agree with you that life should be all work. We do need to take time to play!

Play! Play! You say. Well that’s nonsense. How can we get things done if we play?” That’s the most utter rubbish I’ve heard in years.

                     Well, if you are constantly working you wouldn’t have heard that saying; would you? And secondly; nobody’s probably brave enough to tell you that all work and no play, etc., etc.

Don’t get stroppy with me young woman, err human, what ever. I will live my life how I want to and enough is said about that…….

                     Goodness; I’ve attuned to a lot of energies however, this one has really surprised me. I thought that the Praying Mantis would have very different energies. I don’t know what; just different. It would seem that the Praying Mantis represents those of us who are one eyed, so to speak. Individuals such as this energy represents are not capable of enjoyment. It would seem that they are rather righteous in their unstoppable mental attitude; whatever and wherever that happens to fall. Opinionated comes to mind as does defensive.

I don’t know why I am vacillating?

I don’t know why I cannot come to a conclusion.

The Praying Mantis energy seems to be lingering and not allowing me to think clearly.

Could it be that the Praying Mantis energy tends to usurp other’s energy in its need to keep itself occupied and busy?

Could it be that the Praying Mantis energy endeavours to overpower others?

Could it be that the Praying Mantis energy makes those about him/her feel inadequate and incapable?

Indeed; all of the foregoing is true. The Praying Mantis energy robs, not from Peter to pay Paul, but for himself/herself. That is sad; and yet it is just an energy; one that we can allow ourselves to be effected by, or not.

I choose not to allow the Praying Mantis energy to usurp my energy. Fare thee well Praying Mantis energy; I ask that you return from whence you came….    Ahhhhhhh, feeling better now…….
