Well, hello and how have you been?

It’s been a while since my ink has flowed on the webpages of Esoteric Gardens Blog. I took time off to pursue other paths…as spirit leads, we follow — makes life much easier; instead of the pulling and tugging and resisting, what we sometimes are unaware that we need.

This time of the year, the energy is strong. You feel it. It draws you in, asking you to, perhaps do some more work on that hurting inner child, to ground more, to rest more, to tune in more, to slow down and take stock. What is in the pantry? Are the shelves bare, or are they full of good things accumulated over the past seasons?

I have been taking stock, making notes of what I want and what I no longer desire. It is funny how the desires of April are not the desires of December. Sometimes we get stuck into believing that a desire is forever, as they say, until death do us part. There are relationships that we cry for death to come quickly to save us. I know those.

One of the things I have been stocking on my shelf is the desire for more freedom, cans and cans of it. I want it full to running over. I want so much of it that there is no room for anything else in the pantry.

The Universe knows, and has decided that this desire will be granted. In what forms, I am deliciously finding out. A little came in a long drive into the countryside. I do not do long drives but it was the best drive I ever took by myself. A bit more has come by the way of more free time to do nothing but be. I have been queen for the day, many days running.

But this morning was the sweetest one of all. As I drove to work, a host of pigeons flew across my path. I have never seen so many pigeons before, it was a pity I was unable to capture them on camera. They flew between two buildings, swooping and diving, dancing in the sky as if they owned it. I smiled.

It was for me, this message of beautiful freedom. No one else would have seen it and understood it as I did. Simple as it was, the message was clear.

The universe was saying, you want to be free, you want to fly like a bird, you desire more freedom to do the things you like? We hear you, and to show you that we have, enjoy this grand display.

What have you been desiring my friend? What are you asking that your shelves be stocked with? Love, money, freedom, like me?

Well I am here to tell you that the Universe has heard you, and all you need to do is to look for the signs.
