I am not an animal communicator. However, I believe that
you cannot spend time with animals and not communicate with
them. In fact, even a change encounter with an animal can
make a lasting impact on your life. I was walking one evening
and suddenly felt myself turn around and go back the way
I had come and look down into an open pipe. A turtle was
trapped sideways by his shell and had called to me. I know
that. It was as if a silent voice had reached into my very
deepest self and pulled me back. As I touched this turtle,
a sense of oneness enveloped me, this being and I suspended
in time. I put the turtle down and as he went back to his
journey, and I to mine, it felt as if I had been the one
that had received a gift. It reminded me to be ever more
aware and to listen, to be more watchful and live more in
harmony with the earth and its beings that share this space.
Whether I am riding a horse, kayaking with my dog or just
hanging out with the dragonflies at the lake, I am reminded
to be more in the moment. I don't want to ever pass up a
lesson.
Communication between humans and animals may seem to be
widening and seemingly less important in this day of modern
science and technology. As many animals face extinction
as their environment is taken over by urban society and
man-made structures, there are those humans who value the
lessons they have to teach us. Animals reach out to us in
their songs, with their lessons of survival and value, in
their beauty. Horses communicate to us with their trust
in allowing humans to ride on their backs, dogs allow themselves
to be domesticated and cats come down from their true royalty
and allow themselves to be simply pets. We can honor them
by not forfeiting the lessons they have to teach us.
True animal communication is being open to the wisdom of
the species. Walking in awareness, living with all senses
open and alive so when the opportunities offer themselves,
we are ready. Open your minds, hearts, souls, spirits and
bodies. Be an open channel of communication. You never know
what incredible adventure awaits.
