Evening reflection: June 6, 2008

The message today was about accepting my responsibility as a healer and a miracle worker.

This morning a yellow butterfly was flitting along the ground. I call them "Yellow Admirals" because they are like Red admirals, but with intense yellow between the black - I have no idea what their "proper" name is! This one seemed to be struggling a bit as it almost landed on the gravel of the parking lot and flapped its wings to "limp" along. I was talking to Sarah at the time, we had slowed and stopped walking as she thought the car we had reached was mine; I had stopped to watch the butterfly. As we walked on I sent it Reiki; Sarah and I stopped again at the corner to finish our conversation before going in different directions. Walking on again, I passed the Save Easy across the bay from where I had seen the butterfly - and there it was floating by me, pausing just long enough for me to notice!

One way I refuel and absorb my energy to live God's will is through being in sacred space. The concert this evening in St. Stephen's empowered me through engaging music, outstanding musicianship and the energy of a sacred location.

My personal health challenge is presenting itself through my aching hip. This is not the first time I have experienced this. Years ago I saw the doctor about aching joints in my fingers and tests revealed there was nothing wrong. Now, when I drink commercial red wine I feel the aches in my fingers, wrists, ankles and hip. Once I clear the toxins from my body the aches go away; but this time the ache in my hip is persisting and I know I am being called upon to heal myself more intentionally. My eye is also giving me notice and this one I feel I should refer to the doctor.

So as healer and miracle worker, I must first (or also) heal myself.
