Turning Sorrow into Joy
It takes Time to process grief. The Time it takes depends on our willingness to enter the Darkness. We have to move through each of the stages of grief. They follow a Divine Order of Denial, Anger, Depression, Bargaining and Acceptance for Sorrow to be turned into Joy. Each step takes its own Time, though they can also happen at the same time.
We prayed for Jackie’s recovery and the Day she could return to the nest. Acceptance began when we had to face the loss. At the end we can remember Jackie Lived and she fulfilled a Divine Purpose. An Eagle would prefer to be remembered that way.
Jackie taught us many things. She’s teaching us now that children are wise enough to deal with the Truth. The children who have been learning from Jackie and Shadow are processing their grief by celebrating her life.
Shadow is missing her too. The younger female eagles have already set their sights on him, though he’s showed no signs that he’s ready to engage. Shadow won Jackie’s heart and stole the place of her previous partner who wasn’t the best of providers. I think he’d rather win over the heart of his next partner, rather than be saved from the sorrow.
We watched Jackie and Shadow take the time to grieve their losses. They waited 3 Days before Jackie carried away a hatchling that didn’t make it through a storm. They waited too for the eggs that never hatched.
Together, Jackie and Shadow accomplished more than enough to celebrate Jackie’s life well-lived. The end of an Era will become a new beginning. The tears that come and go for as long as we remember will be the Sign that Jackie’s Spirit lives on in our heart.

6 Crocodile/IMIX (Cherokee, Turtle/ DAK’SI I’SB) – Day 6 of 13 of the 1 Wisdom/CIB trecena
Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom and FREE Tzolk’in calculator preserved on MayanMajix.com
Galactic Tone 6: Flow. Six is responsiveness, and the art of negotiation. It is the movement of volume through space that creates time. This energy in action is like the art of dance or a great athlete in motion. Six facilitates dynamic developments in all aspects of life.
Crocodile/IMIX: Crocodile receives messages of primal creative force; simply the beginning of all things. Crocodiles who follow their hearts are seen as genius. There is no order to the primal messages, so Crocodile persons should direct their energies toward practical and cooperative efforts to bring productive results. Crocodiles have a strong nurturing energy and will work hard to provide security to family and friends. Being extremely territorial, Crocodiles must watch not to be over protective or too dominating. While in these states, Crocodiles are insecure, indecisive and emotionally volatile.
A GOOD DAY TO: Open to new beginnings.
Cherokee Turtle/ DAK’SI I’SB: Turtle Island; direction East. The Turtle Constellation Orion, one of three stars in the Cosmic Egg. In Mayan is the Cosmic Hearth. Turtle is the Energy of Creative force at the one-on-one, personal level; dawn, awakening, birth. The beginning of each new era, this star in Orion appears with the rising Sun, heralding the creation of a new World cycle. Cherokee, IMIX- Totem-Dragon. The energy to understand all things sacred; creation energy, connection for visions, to learn the mysteries of the Universal Knowledge. The dragon carries the source energy of life, revered in ancient cultures for power and wisdom.
