Blogging for 2020: Avian Eyes
An old weathered birdbath, once my mother’s, is the central focus of my flower garden. Not only birds, but chipmunks, squirrels and mice come regularly to quench their thirst or soak on a hot summer day. Most visitors are fascinated by the flurry of activity created by one strategically placed birdbath.
For weeks, I’ve been particularly aware of bird activity, watching these avian creatures prepare for impending cold weather...tuning into their migratory instincts coming alive. Despite the unseasonably warm autumn weather, our robins and bluebirds have departed, and migrants from further north have temporarily taken their place. Many resident species are now flocking.
I wonder. I marvel at just how well birds read life—read their environment; just how fine-tuned they are; how carefully adapted; how they know when it’s time to change eating habits, move out, stop in mid-passage for a rest, and then move on. Birds are remarkable teachers.
Birds are naturally in tune and minutely responsive to changes all around them. My question is: Why aren’t we?
All of humanity is heading for a winter, the likes of which we have not seen before, or at least not in recent history. Like birds, if we are tuned in, we will be aware of this storm about to engulf our reality. Like birds, we must use our inner barometer to realize that the pressure is plummeting—the storm is nigh upon us.
Like birds, it’s time to fine-tune, to read life. It’s time for binocular vision—one eye here and one “out there”—avian eyes. This allows us to use our greater guidance to put matters in order. It’s time to look inside and find where our strengths lie, and to bring those strengths to life. It’s time to search our hearts, to prepare ourselves from the inside out. It’s time to step into our inner closet, to assess what thoughts and beliefs need to come off the hangers and into the recycling box. It’s time to undress our fears and examine them with naked scrutiny. It’s time to acknowledge what is important to us, truly important, and let the rest go. It’s time to know where we stand, and what we want to stand for.
A wondrous storm is at hand, bringing with it great change—new beginnings. Endless possibilities await…especially for those who have prepared.
Like birds of a feather, it’s time to flock together--and begin to use our avian eyes.

I sense the pressure plummeting. The snows of the "great blizzard" to come have begun. I resonate with what you say about using our inner guidance to put matters in order. It seems the focus of late has been on resolving old issues, tying up loose ends and moving on to a new space. The work I've done with you Ia, has allowed me to get in touch with my inner guidance and to know who I truly am. Whether it was the 10-day intensive that literally saved my life last August, or the phone sessions that have further deepened my understanding of who I am, it has all played a crucial role to get me where I am now.
There is a new freedom about my life, a flow, that I would never have allowed in the past. Things are not complicated anymore...for much of the time I can keep myself out of the way now. I am finding new success in my business. There is new energy in my life, home and relationships. Today I noticed synergistic things happening in my day, showing me that I am completely supported by God, by the universe, by something greater. I have a rich life with everything I need in every moment. What I have to do is flow with it...like a tree flows with the wind. It does not try to buck it, or bend its own way. It goes with the flow. Acceptance of all that is.
The last 9 years have been a slow but steady release of the death grip that I have had on my life and my reality. The miracles that I have experienced along the way have kept me going through the letting go that has been excruciating at times.
A wondrous storm is at hand...change...new beginnings...endless possibilities. What an incredibly expansive way to look at the changes that are taking place all around us. Thank you for holding the space of a new reality, Ia, and offering reflections of what is real from a greater perspective.

A thoughtful and comprehensive response. Thank you, Anatolle. The journey is a remarkable experience. Excruciatingly painful at times, excruciatingly intense--for the ego. But also excruciatingly beautiful. Excruciatingly extraordinary. Excruciatingly rewarding.
Birthing ourselves into the light requires great commitment, determination and steadfastness, as your response bespeaks. However, exiting the birth canal willingly is easier than being thrust out by the force of contractions.
Your comment that you have a rich life--your show of gratitude--reveals how far you have traveled on your journey.

Natural state affairs pulling, forever pulling me inward. A world within a world...waiting to be tapped. Escaping me for eons....only to loom closely, waiting for the right time to call me inward.
Birds, much like dolphins and whales, rely an inner compass to show them the way.
It's all so interesting. The awakening intelligence within the humanness...I understand that with humans its a choice to answer the call...follow nature. For birds and dolphins and whales, well they just do it. They never worry about who done them wrong, right?
Just interesting.

Awakening intelligence. Yes, the world needs all the awakened intelligence it can get.

Avian Eyes really opened my heart. There is something really powerful about it. It's as if the birds are helping me remember innate skills that I carry within me. New senses are coming to life. Thank you Ia for bringing this awareness to the forefront.
Nature is a reliable barometer. Remembering to read it is key.
