Harmony.
I am taking care of farm animals at Windermere Ranch this week. It has been a learning curve, and full of observation around control, demand, over responding, belonging, giving, and receiving in harmony.
Animals are sensitive Basic selves. Recently, a long-time resident passed; his presence was one of consistency and light, touching all, animals, land, and people. The change for the animals was not overlooked. Also, the family that cares for the Ranch and animals went away for the week. When I arrived, they had already left. The animals were in a frenzy. When I arrived at the barn, the ducks, chickens, and goats ( including baby goats that cry like babies) were all at top communication. It was a LOT!
My basic self reaction was tension and what bad has happened, I see energy, etc., I saw so much flying around. I moved quickly ot feed them, and I had confusion as this was my first time doing this. Instructions are great, but when you are doing it, there is another reality. coming centered in Presence was my intention. To be in love frequency, while serving the animals. They react to our frequency, too. We all have vulnerable places. I was on a bit of overload, aware of the animals and concerns of the caretakers’ details that were in a working-out process. They were stressed.
What I came to realize as I have spent 2 and a half days in this process is how much I was pulled out of center in worry. Worry I would fail at this, and that would mean I am not loving enough. This really pushed me in places I had not seen in a long time. I felt exposed, truth, the animals don’t play in costumes, so any routines that may have been a plan were thrown out the window. Authentic, relaxed love was the only way to do this. Each time I let go of how it should be done and do it in relaxed trust flow, as truthfully, everything was good. Just emotional animal people stuff. Getting upset, the animals were hyper-reactive. Just getting used to me.
Yesterday morning, I had to make a special baby duck food because there was a problem getting the one they usually use. This was taking me extra time. Animals in the stalls were all yelling at me , it seemed. ” Get on with it, we want to eat and go out!” Im laughing as I write this. One of the duties in this process is to keep the chicken separate from the goats, moving the goats ot one pen, then letting the chickens out. Suddenly, a Rooster flew in and landed above me in the food stall. I was so surprised, as in my mind, the plan was to control, and those who shared the plan knew what they were doing. Of course, so I thought. There was no control; the rooster can go where he wants. I loved this as it made me let go and relax. I was being controlled by the plan on paper instead of being present with what was NOW, still doing what was on the plan, but not in ego, meaning get it right their way. I let go of the task I was in and went where the flow was. Everyone was fed and let out to their areas for the day. Mission accomplished.
The animals were communicating with me. The Rooster definitely took me out of my STUPID to giggles and Love.
This is a give-and-take harmony flow, not rigid. We all need each other in this dance. When we shut down, as if we are separate, and try to create control, it never works. I love the chickens; they’re so mellow and seem to be in that flow. Once they had my attention, they became peaceful and waited for me patiently. I see so much human behavior in all of this. After all my inner talk, trying to get it right, then deciding this isn’t for me, I let go. I said a prayer of harmony and love for the animals and me to be in flow and love.
Today was bliss; they were all calm, I took my time and did things the best I could, the way that worked for me. The goats, chickens, and ducks seemed happy to see me, not pushing, I was more present in myself in trust, so I was. available to flow to give and receive in harmony. They were in peace and were waiting, in what seemed like trust, all is here now. We all give and receive. Peace and flow were present in me and them. Everyone was fed and given some Love. I am grateful expanded. I received this.
The last gift this morning was the baby goats and their mother joining the big goats for the day in one pen. I was passing by the fenced area as I was heading back to my house, and did not see the baby goats. I said inwardly, I wonder where the babies are. Suddenly, one of the babies popped its head out of the plastic igloo in the area, looked at me and called out in a goat’s voice, “Here we are” I felt and heard this intention, then it popped back inside. If you doubt that you affect what is happening with your inner voice, , thoughts, and frequencies, think twice. We are all connected.
This is good news, we choose. It also means we will still have ups and downs, but maybe a Rooster will fly in and give you pause, ” Hey – calm down, we are here, it will happen.” god gets our attention in many ways.
God’s got Your Back. Be open to receive. Then giving is a cinch; it is joy. We learn from each other. Don’t forget. No one is an island.
There is much more i would like to share about the animals but, for now this is my intention and what came forward.
Much Love and Light
