CAT TAILS

Synchronicity is a good thing. Just when you need something, it is there.

I have been taking these country road walks every day, nature metaphors pop out and become good guides. I have been looking at these cat tails in a bog on the side of Swamp Road. They are cat tails that have "gone by". They are no longer brown, slim, and smooth - they are tan, bedraggled looking kind of like a wet cat. However, in these cat tails I see faces. They sort of look like Scandinavian folk art wood spirits - old men with a big proboscis and a cap...or that hindu elephant thing I couldn't remember the name of....

and then my friend Karen mentioned she had her new "Ganesh" on the wall....so I looked it up. There it was! It was what I was seeing! A ganesh within a cat tail! Thank you Karen!

Ganesh:"Widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as Lord of Beginnings and Lord of Obstacles patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom"

Cat tail:"The flower symbolism associated with the cattail is peace and prosperity".

I'll take it!!

Metaphors in nature are wonderful, if you know how to translate them. I live by nature's metaphors, it makes life easier. Kind of like watching the clouds in the western sky for weather coming, I look at the trees, animals, symbolism, even numerology, patterns in nature as a guide for life. It works. Try it. These things will tell you what you need to know in the now. Be present and in tune. Little messengers...
