As some of you might have noticed, I haven’t posted a card this week, and I was irregular with posting it last week. I’m going to go ahead and declare a break from posting the daily card for the rest of this week and next week, which is spring break for our local schools (and my partner in crime).
During this break, I might also look at some new ideas for this space. I haven’t written an original blog post in quite a while, but I recently discovered some old brainstorming notes for the blog that have me thinking. It could be fun to explore some new topics, maybe even do some interviews in a podcast format. We shall see. I also have a couple writing projects I should finish, as you can see from my project board.
Yesterday, I picked the first daffodils from the yard. Their bright sunny heads are brightening up the altar right now, but they also inspired me to reach for this gorgeous deck. It might not be spring quite yet, but we are getting there!
Have a lovely day,
Thistle
Tulip – Perfection
You are a perfect expression of Universal love.
Meaning: Traditionally, the tulip signifies deep and true love, but it is not necessarily a romantic love. Depending on the culture, they might also represent charity or rebirth. The tulip, with its clean and simple form and variety of bright colors, is a wonderful bloom to represent all of us in our varied, yet similar, forms. We are all deserving of love and must love ourselves first.
History: Tulips might be associated with the Netherlands, but they originally came from Persia and Turkey and were cultivated there more than 1,000 years ago. They were brought to Europe in the 16th century.
Channeled Message: I am in a cavern of light. Beautiful music vibrates from the walls. The Deva looks at me, her eyes piercing my should, searching my heart. I feel a fierceness, a probing. Come, she beckons me. I see fields upon fields of tulips, standing and glistening under the morning sunlight. They take me in. I am inside their stems, inside their “blood” stream. I see the energy of the Earth moving through the. I see the water, the nutrients, the soil, crystal colors, and particles of light moving through them. I see the energy of the Earth under the bulbs; it slowly envelops the bulb and moves into it, moving upward, stretching, bursting forth.
The energy of the Earth and ancient energies creating the tulip – all flowers. This ancient energy moves through all Beings. It’s as if the Earth is breathing itself into the existence through the tulips. Each tulip is like a breath. It dies down a the breath energy returns to the Earth to begin anew. A cycle of regeneration. I am filled with light. I am filled with the light of the Universe. I am weeping, overwhelmed with the love I feel coming forth from the Earth, from Nature, from all existence. I call out, “Who is there?” “We are the One,” they reply. I feel waves of benevolence drifting toward me, beautiful life and light surrounds me.
