RE: 🌼 How I Am Handling Declining Numbers On Steemit re: "From The Mud The Lotus Blooms"

in #steemit6 years ago

Hello cabe,
I have missed so many quests. I thought I might visit them, albeit a little late, and here you are practically inviting me to do so.

I am inclined to apologise for my absence on the flight, but I know enough of you (which is strange to say of a relative stranger, but I believe it true) to know that I don't need to apologise.

I was visited by a flock of ravens in my dream a few nights ago, and I kept waking up in the living room where I had fallen asleep, but still within the dream, and they were still there calling from my window, every time I woke. I became lucid and knew it was a dream, when I kept waking, I remember feeling like I couldn't see because I was still stuck in the dream, even through I was conscious. When I woke I was afraid.

I thought of my raven and the night flight, and I had to get up and go to him, asleep in our bedroom. He doesn't know that.

We are in the midst of difficult times, not between us, but around us, which is challenge enough for sure, when it has such longevity. We are very much in the mud struggling to imagine my lotus will thrive once more.
We are heading into spring time here.
I hope to find hope for spring.

Yay, happy to hear from you! According to my Animal Spirit Guides book, ravens are a sign there's magic in the air. I seem to remember their association with passage between life and afterlife too, similar to the owl. These "Night Flight" birds are meaningful symbols, especially since you were lucid and attentive in the dream. This is what I'm reading:

You're gradually shape-shifting to a more confident, powerful, and spiritually based you that will continue to emerge the more you let go of your old self.

I feel so grateful for this note of yours. Thank you, sister. Yes, just as you say, I understand the waves of absences and presences, and in fact I totally relate, because I've definitely had some wavering in my Steemit participation these past few months. I'm still greatly enjoying the Vision Quests, and anticipate launching just one per month in the future, because I have some other projects taking higher priority at the moment. Since you're heading into the Spring season, I wonder if you have a Spring-related idea for the theme of our next Vision Quest?
