Take Flight: Shine your light clearly and boldly

In my meditation yesterday, out in nature on our property, the photo of me as a baby sitting on the grass came to me (see bottom right), which is why I posted it in our Snowdrop Facebook group yesterday. 

I was asked to see the light of my truth shining in that picture. I was told that this is the truth of authenticity and that this is the light we are born to send out to the world. It is the light that shines within, that we are all yearning to rediscover, so that we may shine this light out to the world.

Then Tui settled nearby to sing to me. I was told: “Tui has come today to rejoice in you taking this time out to go within. To sing the song of his truth in reflection of you singing the song of your own truth. Such joy he sings with, such beautiful joy. Take your song out to the world, for it is the song of truth and joy. It is the song of the light which shines within, that we are all born with. You are each born to shine that light out to the world, with our own uniqueness.

Shine your light, without fear. As Tui shows himself, he shows the bright ball of white light at his throat, the sign that he sings from his throat the truth of the light from his soul.”

Then a pair of ducks took flight and flew directly over me, so purposefully it was as if I could feel the breath of the sweeping of their wings. Their call as they took flight was deep and resonant and I could feel it in every cell of my body. Then I was told:

“It’s not about getting your ducks in a row, it is about taking flight. The ducks are showing you it is time to sing with a voice that is strong and clear and to take flight. No more waiting. It is time to take flight. 

Getting your ducks in a row is a human construct and outmoded. This does not take place in nature. 

In nature, the mother duck sets out and the other ducks fall in place behind, to follow in her slipstream. 

You are the mother duck setting out to take flight, to sing with a voice that is clear and loud, resonant from the deep depths of the light within. 

Now is time to take flight. Now is time to take flight.

In the universe all falls into place when you align with your own truth, when you align with the truth and principles of the universe. The duck is calling in affirmation of all that has been said.”

Then a poem unfolded:

Majestic ducks taking flight over me
Singing your song so resonantly

No more waiting, getting ducks in a row
It is time to take flight and let everything go.

Beautiful ducks, such depths to your call
Reminding me it is time to no longer stall

But rather take flight, clearly and boldly
In full clear sight, for all to behold me

Singing the depths of my truth from my heart
Calling all to join me in this beautiful art.

Then I felt humbled and filled with gratitude and realised life really is truly abundant and that we have everything we need all around us, if only we sit, observe and listen. The ducks flew round and round so I tried to capture them on my phone which I've posted in the little video below:
