Andrew Warnes

On Facebook I’m discovering Andrew Warnes from Australia who’s on pilgrimage walking the Camino De Santiago in Spain. I went to his page to read about his walk and learned he’s also got insightful writings. This is the first I read and can relate – yes, go into the cave to work on yourself, but emerge changed.  Here’s an excerpt:

Ask your insurance agent before putting a magnetic sign for your business on your car

magnetic-vehicle-signDo you have a magnetic sign for your business on your car? Better ask your insurance agent if you have the right kind of insurance to do that so you’re not surprised when you find later you’re not covered. $$$ In some states, using a vehicle for business purposes requires that it be registered for commercial or business rather than personal use. Placing a magnetic sign on your car door to advertise your business can be interpreted as commercial use. If you register a vehicle for insurance claim deniedcommercial or business use, its insurance coverage must match its registration. Driving an improperly registered vehicle can yield a ticket and a potentially expensive fine if a police officer pulls you over. In the event of an accident, you can have your claim denied and your policy voided. Before you spend the money on that magnetic sign, verify your local laws won’t force you to change the way you classify your car and the amount you spend to keep it on the road.

Did I get sidetracked or did I get re-directed?

A wormhole connects two different points in space-time

A wormhole connects two different points in space-time

Have you ever been at the right place at the right time yet encounter an unfamiliar scene and feel like you’re in a parallel universe? I’d scheduled my Saturday around a 2:00pm beach event and arrived 45 minutes into it,  but didn’t see anyone I knew or any group gathered on the beach.  A family of 4 was sunbathing to the left, several couples sunbathing to the right. No one I knew. I hung out a few minutes, leaving voice mail for several friends I knew would be there, then went across the street to get gas and return. I ended up in a different wormhole altogether. As I began pumping, a friend I worked with 20 years ago pulled into the station.  We chatted a few minutes and I asked what she’d been up to since we spoke last. She told me she was flustered because she couldn’t get hold of her brother who was supposed to be there three hours before to help her move. She’d done all she could by herself and now needed another pair of hands.  She lived around the corner so I volunteered to give her an hour.

Dream: A tiger stalks me in the woods

tiger in the woodsI’ve begun walking again since the temp and humidity has dropped, first thing in the cool mornings after meditation. Last night I had a dream a tiger was following me in the woods alongside the road as I walked the hood. No, it was not Tiger Woods. A friend pointed out “When the tiger shows up in your life, it could point to a feeling of aggression directed at you. Tigers are great predators and hunters in nature. In the animal spirit world, tigers could appear when you feel threatened by external circumstances.“ I didn’t have the feeling it was hunting me down with bad intent, nor that it was protecting me, just that it was there and it was observing and it was being stealth. “The tiger totem is both a sign of a potential threat and a call for courage to face it. The primary meaning of the tiger spirit totem is willpower, personal strength and courage. When you see a tiger spirit animal, check what’s happening in your life that may seem dangerous or threatening to you. Also keep an eye on possible causes of fear, anger or deep frustration that seem to be escaping your conscious control.” I’ll keep an eye out in case anything bubbles up. The William Blake poem from childhood comes to mind: Tyger Tyger burning bright, In the forests of the night: Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Spiritual Brother Brian Jeffries August 5, 1948 - October 13, 2015

Spiritual Brother Brian Jeffries
August 5, 1948 – October 13, 2015

A dear spiritual brother, a poet, a writer, a muse has dropped his physical body and taken his final Earth walk. Brian Jeffries August 5, 1948 – October 13, 2015. There is a Celebration and Paddle Out Saturday at 2:00pm at 295 Hwy A1A, Satellite Beach (Silver Sands Condo/Sea Gull Park — just south of the Pineda Causeway (404) and north of Sea Park Avenue). You are invited to bring: a vegetarian dish to share, surf board, beach chairs, a story about Brian to share.  Grief is work but it doesn’t have to be grim. Sometimes when you check out of your physical body, your work takes on a new dimension.

There is no death. When I’m awake I know that. Sweet memories of sweet friends. When I tap into that Universal Mind, I know they live on and I don’t give it a second thought. While, in my mortal body, I hallucinate they are gone and I am miss them. Funny how we let our minds play tricks on us, huh? There is no death. When I’m awake I know that. Keep me awake, please.

Don’t be afraid to try to do it on your own

If you are staying where you are because someone else pays the bills and you think it’s easier than trying to figure out how to support yourself, trust me that is the biggest trap there is. You will never know freedom until you know the joy of doing for yourself and being self sufficient.

Wear your look with confidence

Random observation and suggestion: whatever look you choose for yourself, OWN IT with confidence. Don’t keep flipping back your extensions or tugging at your skirt hem or pulling at your eyelashes. Doing it a time or two is fine, but when there’s a video and you’re in the audience doing it continually, everyone is focused on your discomfort.  If what you are wearing makes you continually self conscious and tugging at it, that makes us just as uncomfortable looking at it as it is for you to wear it.
