The Dance of the Falls

As we gaze at the majesty of the falls and listen to its thunderous music we certainly feel its mystic power. In the power of this moment though we can miss that fact that this thunderous cascade is made of  millions of tiny droplets of water and each of these droplets has an important message for us. If we are flexible falling will not hurt us. There is hope at the bottom of even the tallest  most powerful waterfall and although life can drag us down and at times even tip us over the edge if you embrace the experience and have courage you can move forward. There is calm at the end of even the most raging torrent and maybe you won't actually fall  because you may be lifted you up like the mist that rises from the waterfall. This is the Shamanic dance of both nature and life and is how magic happens.

Let's Tweet

It's time to put away the snow boots in Canada. New leaves are budding on the trees, and many birds that migrated over winter are back to join those that stay all year. Spring is definitely in the air!

 There is a definite pecking order between our song birds when it comes to snacking at my bird feeders or stealing seeds. It seems though that a few birds have discovered  a new blue bird. I guess the gardener was tweeting about #spring. I wonder what these birds would say if they could join in. Any ideas?
