| A few of my fishy things |
Over at Synchrosecrets there is a post called
Animals as Creative Motifs, and it got me to thinking about the animals that I've been relating to, in an almost spiritual way.
And as I look around my computer room, I would have to say goldfish and mayflies/Dragonflies are really big on my subconscious engender ... not to mention 'Sacred Kingfishers' crashing the party, as well.

But I think that when it comes down to consistency over the course of a lifetime it would be either the crow ... or the cat.

But just ...
But if you have to, it would probably be because with goldfish, I like the idea of just floating and watching life through my goldfish bowl (head) ... might have something to do with an OBE I had around 12 years old.
With mayflies it would be because they are said to live for only about one day in the adult stage, so it's a reminder to me that there are no guarantees in this life, and just maybe today is the last one ... who knows?
So, make the most of it.
The crow, I just love as an animal in its own right, because they just seem so intelligent to me.
I know a lot of people don't like them, but I find them a good omen on a lot of occasions.
And cats, well I just think that they are one of the most elegant and spiritual creatures on the planet ... when they're not torturing mice or goldfish, that is;-)

P.S.
I'm reading The Twelfth Insight at the moment, and on the flip side, as well as the front of the page, that I am using as a bookmark, from the Shambhala book leaflet, are goldfish.

The Eagle keeps coming up in spiritual messages for me, but I didn't seek it necessarily. I also have an affinity with Owls, Kookaburras , Crows and Rainbow Lorikeets.
ReplyDeleteIf I doodle, I tend to draw starfish, snails and butterflies.
Thunderbirds keep coming up for me,but since they are considered to be more of a mythical creature,I thought that I wouldn't mention it here.I've mentioned it in previous posts,anyway.
ReplyDeleteMy wife,and mother-in-law have gone butterfly crazy.Every time I turn around,there's another bloody butterfly in the house,like the one on my father-in-law's picture,to the right.
I keep saying how about putting the odd caterpillar around the house,to even things up.-)
