EXCERPT
I wasn’t traveling long when darkness settled over the woods, and the air became
chilled and damp. I was getting nervous that I might not find my way back out of
the woods in the dark. I stopped at a brook to give my horse a quick break and a
cool drink. As I raked my fingers through his mane, something caught his
attention. Nodding his head, he whinnied. When I looked up, I spotted a campfire
in the distance. As I walked him in that direction, I found a heavyset elderly
woman with long dark braids sitting at, and stoking the fire. Moving in for a
closer look, she wore a dress made of brown suede and was wrapped in an animal
skin blanket, shielding her from the cold.
I didn’t recognize her, but somehow, she was oddly familiar to me. Without
speaking a word, she reached out, beckoning me. I could feel a connection that
drew me in as I slid down from my horse and joined her. She opened the blanket
and, as I sat down, she held me in her arms to warm me by the fire. I was
suddenly in my youth again, swept up in warmth and safety I hadn’t felt for a
very long time.
Raising her arm, the woman drew my attention to the flames, and as I stared into
the blazing fire, I couldn’t pull my eyes away. It was as if it was speaking to
me, its warmth drawing me in.
“This is your truth, my daughter of my daughter’s son. You are at your best and
can do your work in this lifetime when you accept that you are one with the
earth, fire, water, and elements. Only when you embrace them, can you move
toward your true destiny. You are a rare spirit in that you are blessed with
many gifts that you are yet to discover and recognize. Yours is not an easy path
unless you embrace it. I am always here; you have only to think of me, and I
will be in your thoughts to help you, as are all your ancestors.
“Little Bird, you have traveled and lived in many times and dimensions. Think of
time as a path that runs horizontally, but many paths are layered, one on top of
the other, in a horizontal pattern.
“You have the ability to move through them, not only in time, but from one
dimension to another. It was the element of water in the stream that brought you
to me. Keep your routes planted firmly into the earth, for that will ground you
and keep you balanced. Tonight, I want you to look into the dancing flames and
listen to them speak to you. It is past the time for you to begin to understand
your truth, my dear. You do not have the luxury of putting it off any
longer.”
Gazing into the flames, I saw visions of a young woman riding my white horse. As
the horse moved up a hill and into a green meadow, the young girl was now a
young woman. As I studied her, she looked nothing like me, but I felt like I was
watching my memory unfold. She was riding on a horse with a knight that looked
like he was from medieval times. As the horse reached the top of the meadow, I
knew the woman in the vision was an image of me, and when the valiant knight
turned to me, a chill coursed through my entire body. Although his face was
unfamiliar, his deep blue eyes caught me off guard. Those eyes, those beautiful
eyes. I would know them anywhere.
