Greetings Beloved Kin,

I never expected to see the same love between owls as I did in the hummingbird’s nest. They are very affectionate to one another. I doesn’t look as pretty for their higher position on the food chain, where they bring meat home instead of sugar-water.

It’s clear why their associated as a totem of wisdom. Not only can they turn their head all the way to see what’s behind. They bob their heads around to see what’s in front of them from many different angles. They seek different perspectives by the nature of their own design.

If  I’ve learned anything about wisdom from the owls, it’s to never be satisfied with our first impression of “what it is.” There are different dimensions and perspectives on everything we see. It takes an Intention to see beyond a first impression. We aren’t actively-critically-thinking unless we care enough about what we see to look at it more than once, and by the Golden Rule, look at it from the perspective of standing in someone else’s shoes. If we REALLY want to know the Truth of everything, that would be a logical place to start.

The owl may be one of the most dedicated hunters in the night, to see through the darkness and beyond an illusion of their first impression. It reminds me of “boogie men” in the corner of a dark bedroom, when you look again and see it’s just a pile of things on a chair in the corner casting a weird shadow.

Wisdom shoos all the boogie men away from our life, when we Know God is with us everywhere all the time. By Divine Design, we always see what we’re looking for. Why wouldn’t we focus on love, and look to see signs of that Divine Truth when it always creates Faith in our future?

love, in lak’ech, Debra

12 Night/AKBAL (Cherokee, Hearth/O’YA) – Day 12 in the 1 Road/EB trecena

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold

Galactic Tone 12: Understanding. This number’s energy is a gift of great capability of retrospection. It is this ability that allows Twelve to connect disassociated parts into a (new) functioning whole. The energy of Twelve is that which presents a new piece of understood information or accumulated experience to be applied.

Night/Akbal: Bringers of the Dawn. Dreamers who bring the new sun to clarify and illuminate the road of life. Thus the insecurities and doubts born of darkness of the sub-conscious mind are dispelled. These persons travel the Void… a place where nothing yet exists but all potential dwells, the womb of creation. From this void, Night persons bring forth new solutions and artistic inspiration. Night’s voyages of dreams build confidence and happiness with a sense of well being. If night does not bravely journey into the void they may find themselves wandering the darkness of self doubt and insecurity.

Cherokee, Hearth/O’YA: Hearth’s symbol is the fire pit in the Center, velvet black as the night. The triangle in Orion. The M42 nebula (home of the Central race from the WingMakers) in the center of the triangle of Orion is the fire in the Hearth, also matching the Mayan. The Hearth is the Torchbearer who holds the light and warmth throughout the night. Belief is so strong that the surrounding elements become entrained to their rhythm and all resistance falls away. With respect and honor of intuition combined with knowledge this energy creates the magic of the center in this dimension.

By providing the original text, I hope to offer a way to see what inspired my thoughts and by including all the aspects – allow for something more to inspire you.
