Alora says, “I know how disorienting it is to get caught up in a whirlwind and to be tossed, unexpectedly, into a strange new reality. I know from experience how easy it is to get stuck in the Boggy Marsh of Fear. These days, in your world, you may be feeling as I did when I first arrived on Lake Sojourn. But take heart. You are stronger than you know. Challenging times have a way of bringing out the best in people like you.”
Lessons for These Times
From a Deep Water Leaf
- When you get swept up in a whirlwind (or virus pandemic), you just have to ride it out. It’s here. It’s happening. Hold on for the ride.
- Don’t get stuck in the Boggy Marsh of Fear. Acknowledge your feelings, then learn to harness the wind that can lift you up and out of fear.
- You may be in uncharted territory, but you can still set your own course. Approach this like an adventure and find your own unique way forward.
- Listen to wise guidance. Be discerning. Trust your own inner knowing.
- You get to write your own story – it’s your choice whether you play the part of the villain, the damsel in distress, or the hero of your tale.
- Remember always that Love is greater than fear.
- Pay attention to your dreams, for they bring guidance and healing.
- This can be a time of transformation, for you and for the world. What if we are all about to emerge from nymph form and finally claim our wings?
- Face your fears. Go inward. Dive Deep and claim your gifts.
- Bring your gifts back to your tribe. Help others.
- Changing times may bring grief of things lost. Let yourself grieve. Then learn to let go with grace.
- Take the Eagle Eye view. There is so much more to life than this one experience. This, too, shall pass.
