I watched a baby hummingbird taking first flying lessons from an adult female by flying from the clothes line to the feeder and back. The juveniles are identified by the spots on their necks.
Yesterday in conversation with friends whom I share spiritual community I found this description of the growth I perceived them, us all, to be experiencing at this time. This was the example;
My son Jarod was learning to drive between the ages of seventeen and eighteen while he was going through growing spurts that amounted to two inches in height over the year. He would get comfortable with the vehicular dimensions (both his body and the car) he was working within, and then he would grow. From one week to the next he’d get into the same car and his foot would go through the gas pedal, his hand past the stick shift, and his other foot past the clutch. (His awkwardness is the stuff legends are made of. I rued the day I had agreed to help him get his license, our cultural version of a coming of age ceremony…in my car. I digress)
We as energetic beings, spirit beings have recently been through a similar growing spurt. With the removal of much or most of the powerful energetic resistance we once lived within, our native skills as healers, telepaths, prophets and more have been let out of the bag. Our auras have grown. I once thought that what I sensed was truer than what I heard (when a person speaks for example) I now feel that what I feel is real. My connection to spirit as manifested through perfect timing, telepathy, prophecy, manifestation and such has grown by leaps and bounds, along with my confidence…disproportionate to the time that has passed…according to the old resistant rules.
One of the cartographers (Daniel Jacobs www.reconnections.com ) of this unmapped and to some extent unmappable reality that we now reside within suggested in a recent essay, (I will paraphrase) that we could help ourselves through these times by connecting physically often and lovingly with each other and the planet. I realized that my new adventure riding a 250 Honda Scooter was my way of making direct contact with the Mother as I traverse her, and more, brings me into the moment in a way that reminds me of childhood, only better.
One friend has just built a privacy fence on her property that is her way of accommodating the more expanded energetic footprint that she has become, and establishes a new boundary that manifests these metaphysical changes physically. Her bedroom is almost dead centre of a circle that has been drawn by the addition of the fence. Another friend has recently undergone a dark night of the soul wherein he rode himself ruthlessly not satisfied until he had set fire to the rubble of ego, expectations and denial that hindered him from completely spreading his Divine wings.
While the larger world seems to go madly about its business, in the smaller worlds, our personal worlds, I see individuals being the changes they want to see in the larger world.

Hi Anne,
Just checking out your blogs, and writing my first comment!
I can really relate to your last paragraph about focusing on the smaller personal world while the "larger world seems to go madly about its business".
I was lucky to have an epiphany/revelation last fall while watching the movie "The Secret" for the first time. At the time I had been feeling like there was something more I should be doing to help save the world. Something bigger or more important. Then it hit me that the best way to change the larger world was to change my personal world. Of course I had read that many times before in various books, but it's quite different when you actually feel it. I could see how if everyone just changed their world and lived in their joy, the larger world would change to one of joy too. Since then the weight of feeling the need to do something grand to change the world has been lifted from me, and I live more peacefully knowing that by focusing on my world and making it the most joyfilled it can be can make all the difference. So, lately it's been let the big world do it's crazy thing, and just focus on improving my personal world.

Hello!
It was great to connect and converse once more:)
Lots of Love,

Hi Anne,
this, our new generation (bless their cotton socks)also perfectly describes the new energies that are building around and about us right now.
i for one am going through an ego death process. At the same time my self-esteem is rising; Its the strangest feeling; now for me Self- esteem is God esteem, one and the same thing. It is akin to humility, Oneness, compassion.
Ego structure must and will eventually collapse completely into nothingness, ashes to ashes. Those who are mind dominated are in for a rough ride because ego has such a monopoly on mind and when ego goes those who are mind identified will find it very hard to get their bearings to put it mildly.
All the violence that fills the news is because collective ego is crumbling away now, confusing and twisting issues for those who live in their heads/minds.
My life prayer is for these changes to go smoothly and for peace to prevail in the consciousness of peoples everywhere, a silent space where the love and healing energies gather ever more of themselves to bring and ground a new frequency of consciousness deep into the four corners of our beautiful Mother Gaia.
Love and peace wishes every which way,
John
Hi Anne,
i hope you got my comment yesterday.
We really ARE going through many changes and from the dying ego's illusory point of view its literally the end of the world;
From a truer, saner perspective its the birth of a new world, a more loving and united world.
With Love,
John
Greetings friend Anne,
It IS heartening to know that small groups everywhere can and do influence the larger world. It is so easy to want to "throw in the towel" when we forget to perceive the big picture.
Despite the ongoing violence and terrorism, strong spiritual foundations are being forged right here and now by individuals everywhere.
It is not claiming the moral high ground that is going to win the day, (Goddess forbid) even when Gaia is concerned, nope; it is a simple compassion and love for each other in community and home that's going to take us towards that saner, safer world we all desire for our loved ones and ourselves.
New wine (new energies)need new wineskins (new language) ie, win win situations for everyone everywhere. That is the challenge we are all facing now as we daily forge into new ground in a very tumultous world.
My love and appreciation as ever,
John
