Maybe it's because I'm from Montana or just a shape of personal growth but my entire life I've studied the presence of animal spirituality, totems and all other things part of the animal kingdom. I'm not here today to sway anyone's heart or belief but rather share a story about how the animals truly are reaching out to the struggling human. Seriously, have you taken note of the amazing amount of other living breathing things around your everyday world? As people we've missed one of the most brilliant displays of Spring. We've been consumed by this Coronavirus process. The animals have creatively kept themselves close because when the pressure is turned up in the weeks ahead they know how easily the human breaks. On this podcast I talk about a porcupine that entered not one but several of my dreams last night. Because I am faithfully dedicated to the stories they bring I went straight to my books. The porcupine's message is to move along at your own pace. Pressure from others may cause a circumstance. No need to worry you are protected. Maintain your faith in yourself. We've entered a new stage of social distancing. Look at what the preacher people did yesterday. The people that are designed to promote peace put on a protest and elected to sue the governor of North Carolina. The porcupine pretty much says to not react. Slowly turn your back. Not to show your ass but to let the world see your quills. Not one word shared. Just turn around. I say this because there's also a lot of anger on social media from everyday people wanting and needing to return to what they called their normal. The rent and mortgage are due in 15 days. Wait wait. This is where the message changes. You'd think I learned from the porcupine in my dreams about continuing a journey of peace right? No. After the studies this morning my heart turned. Millions of us have the porcupine's quills in our noses, arms, legs and other body parts. We didn't heed the warning and have been porcupined. The quills are right there and you want this horrid pain caused by the virus to leave your mind body and soul right now. Wait! You can't pull out the quills. They expand once inside your body. So there you stand, in pain, in worry and overtaken by anxiety. What's next? Did you know opioid addiction and deaths are at an all time high? Did you see that alcohol sales are 57% higher than anytime in history? We're trying to pull out the quills! Stop! People are racing back to the stores to shop with money they may need for next months food or electric bill. People are baring their teeth at innocent workers because the customer had to patiently wait in line to get ice cream. Men have been killed because they didn't want to wear a mask. Quills. You've been hit. How many do you think you've got? Don't do it alone. Find someone that knows how to remove them.
