Yesterday I
had a very very strange thing happening. I was going to sit and draw some old
tarrot cards with a specific question: one that has been torturing me for a
while now: “should I go to Melbourne?”,”Is it really a good idea?”
I sit on
the floor and suddenly I see the sky getting almost dark with tens (if not
hundreds!) of swallow birds. They gathered above my house and were drawing
circles and circles and were really agitated. They were emitting sharp noises…I
worried. This was very unusual….There were so many that the blue sky was
becoming black and many more were coming.
I got up,
opened the window and observed them more attentively. They were flying high and
far creating large circles miles away, back and forth movements. Some were
following each other but only 2 by 2.
“What the
heck is that?!!!” It was 1pm in the afternoon. No storm at the horizon, no
winds, no sudden climate change, no atomic war (I double checked)…No.
Ok, so I
thought: “it must be a clear and loud totem animal sign”. They
were extremely noisy and I had never seen so many birds in the sky at once, in
my whole life. I recalled we were in Switzerland, in the middle of Europe, we
rarely see such wilderness scenery. You may see it right before a violent
storm… but nope. Blue skies for the next 2 days.
I looked up
‘swallow bird’ totem meaning. Part of animal communication learning, is knowing
the meaning of each animal, the language of Nature, because nature constantly
communicates with us as well, although we rarely notice. So its time to pay
attention to here and now and notice the unusual or the odd coincidences.
The book
was saying: “swallows tell you that you are a FAMILY PERSON. That you enjoy and
benefit greatly, vitally, necessarily, from communal styles of living AND working”.
Amazing
reminder just when I was about to decide to go to another faraway city, that’s
Melbourne…”for reasons that not quite clear or solid to me, for hobbies that I
may not be able to finance, for a visa I’m not even sure I still want to save…”
The truth
you see: I LOVE Europe. Not the soul killing Swiss regulations and uptight
mentality, but EUROPE. The old continent with its mix of cultures, history,
Mediterranean charm, its four seasons- forever reminders that times flies,
weather changes every 3 months and we must live each moment to the fullest. In
a land where there is always summer, we don’t have this awareness and respect
for the passing time. We begin to believe we are immortal until we are too
close to death.
I love and
need being close to loved ones and things that matter. Stop chasing illusory
butterflies ‘what if this time is different, what if I lose my visa forever,
what if there is better elsewhere, what if, what if…?’
The
swallows’ message stoke me right in the heart. It is true, I am a family person
and I like living communally too. Why would I go for the opposite right now?
A few
nights before, I had a cockroach dream. Three were going everywhere, 2 in my
bed and I couldn’t catch them. I woke up and checked out the totem-meaning:
“your survival abilities will be increased. You will be very adaptable in a constantly
changing world/life/situation, you will be capable to become self-sufficient
and count on your agility to survive anywhere & in any choice you make”.
These
totems were spot on. They spoke clearly and accurately about my current fears.
Much clearer that that it wouldn’t have been possible….
Listen,
listen closely…you are guided through all the time…. Look around, what so IN
YOUR FACE right now?
