" An Animal Totem "
:
Is an important symbolic object used by a person to get in touch with specific
qualities found within an animal which the person needs, connects with, or
feels a deep affinity toward.
You can have several animal guides through out your life. Sometimes an animal
guide will come into your life for a short period of time, and then be
replaced by another depending on the journey or direction you are headed
toward. Your guide will instruct and protect you as you learn how to navigate
through your spiritual and physical life. When you find an animal that speaks
strongly to you or feel you must draw more deeply into your life, you might
fill your environment with images of the animal to let the animal know it's
welcome in your space. Animal guides can help you get back to your Earthly
roots, and reconnect with nature by reminding you that we are all
interconnected. To first do this you need to know what your Animal Totem is.
If You Don't Know:
If you don't know what your Animal Totem is there are several questions you
can ask yourself. All of the questions below are designed to get you thinking
about a prominent animal in your life. There are no right or wrong answers.
Only you can truly know which Animal Totem(s) are right for your journey.
Since we are drawn to that which resonates with us, what animal, bird, or
insect are you drawn to?
When you go to the park, forest, or zoo what animal are you most interested
in seeing?
What animal do you most frequently see when you're out in nature or in the
city?
What animals are you currently interested in learning about?
Which animal do you find most frightening or intriguing?
Have you ever been bitten or attacked by an animal?
Is there a recurring animal in your dreams or do you have one you have never
forgotten?
Still Uncertain?
If you are still uncertain which animal is your totem, here a few exercises you
can do to come closer to the answer. You must not try to force the animal to
come, it can pick up on that energy and be put off. Being patient and doing
the following exercises will draw your animal totem to you.
Ask yourself what animal has played a meaningful part in your world?
If you're unsure, make a list of animals that have drawn your interest or have
left a deep impression on you from paintings, photographs, stories, movies,
carvings, etc.
Which animal shows up in your life most frequently? Keep a journal of the
animals present in your dreams or that you encounter through the day for
the next month. How did the animal behave? Did you interact with the animal?
Find a place where you can be alone to meditate.
Sit quietly and ask your animal to make it's nature known to you.
Feel free to use tools such as incense, smudge, and candles to help you.
Don't give up, sometimes your animal totem is nearby watching to see if you're
serious about connecting with it. Keep doing the above exercises until your
animal totem makes itself known to you.
" FEARING MISTAKES "
We fear mistakes more than anything else. Mistakes bring
on ridicule. Mistakes expose the unsure, frail and diffident
hiding within.
Can anyone brag of living a mistake free life? Perhaps if
they were to spend their days on an armchair by the
fireside. A live of doing this is half-lived, wasted and
incomplete.
Fear of making mistakes holds you back from doing many
things. Ultimately too many joys go undiscovered. Regrets
smother you and you become even more fearful. It's a
vicious cycle.
Remember that nobody is above you. Others may know more,
but they have also walked the same path before you.
To get to where they are standing, you may have to make a
mistake or two. So what, why not feel the joy you deserve
and go for it?
" THE TWO CHOICES WE FACE "
Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is
to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and
discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made,
lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.
And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can.
To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and
accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.
To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.
Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities.
Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?
Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing
less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.
Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results!
And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than
we were the day before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the
world around them as a result of whom and what they have become.
" A TRUCKERS LAST DISPATCH "
I write this poem,
For truckers alone.
As they hear there loved ones,
On the other end of the phone.
They carry there goods,
To a preset goal.
Don't care what they carry,
Only know they must roll.
White line fever,
I hear it's been called.
When some poor, tired driver,
To sleep has been lulled.
Pushing to fast and hard,
Whachting and following the line
Hoping that when he gets home,
That all will be fine.
But now it has him,
In it's horrible grip.
Could this be the end,
Or even his last trip.
His wheels hit the gravel,
He jerks awake.
Tries to regain control.
His foot on the brakes.
Then he thinks to himself,
About his family waiting at home.
And wonders what drove him,
To endless roam.
He looks to the heaveans,
Please don't let me die.
A truckers last dispatch,
To his dispatcher in the sky.
