I had a magical encounter yesterday morning at Steinke Basin. Usually it’s with the flora and fauna, but this time it was with a human.
Rather than just giving my usual greeting, something nudged me to directly address the man I met on the path. I asked if he had noticed the bottle gentian. He hadn’t, so I said, “Here, let me show it to you – it’s right here.”
We took a couple of steps back, and I pointed to it. He said, “Oh, my gosh! My wife and I took pictures of that yesterday. We were wondering what it was!”
It’s fun to be the channel the Universe takes to answer queries.
We often never realize the full impact our wisdom and our personal stories have on others. I only know because he shared his experience.
Great Spirit will take whatever path is available to bring answers and guidance.
The funny thing is, when we try to impart our knowledge and give advice, we have a tendency to muck it up by getting over-involved or crossing the line into “fixing.”
All we need to do is keep being ourselves. When we let the truth of who we are shine through, we may be the channel through which the Universe inspires, educates or brings healing to another.
This work is real, and it matters.
