Sometimes, at the strangest moments, thoughts creep up on me, forcing me to take a longer, deeper look at myself. Today is most definitely one of those days. Not that these thoughts are at all negative or lacking to be more specific, just random thoughts that are passing through, and somehow get hung up and stick around longer than others’. I have to believe that there are specific reasons for these thoughts lingering longer than necessary, and yet I’m puzzled. Yes, I must agree that I am that ‘girl’, the one standing in the shadows of everyone else, afraid of drawing too much attention to herself, yet wanting to nonetheless. I used to smile to mask my emotions, and now I smile because I can and it’s not a façade, there is nothing to hide, I’m genuinely happy, not all of the time, but for the most part. Perhaps this is me rambling, in a desperate attempt to convey to myself and others’ that I am here, I’ve been here for a long time, and now I am ready for more. I am learning, and growing, and learning to grow, learning to accept myself, with all of my flaws, or character defects, whatever they may be called, I am learning. I am without hesitation work in progress. Slowly I’m allowing others’ in, not that it’s any more comfortable now than it may have been before, hell, I’ve not ever let a soul in completely. I want to, I want others’ to know who I am, what makes me happy, sad, angry, hurt all of it. One day a time I suppose.
Yesterday I was out and about and was watching a group of deer graze, and to my complete and utter astonishment, what I thought was a goat, turned out to be nothing less than a White Deer. How amazing is that. Everything happens in 3’s I believe, that was #3 for me. Thus the following is a necessary read…
"All creatures are noble, and have profound messages to share with us. However, those animals that are white can be some of our most powerful teachers.
"The Native Americans believed the occurrence of a white animal was a huge sign of prophecy – a sign from the great spirit that a major shift in their world was to come.
"Usually, white animals were seen during soul-quests, or vision-quests. However, if one was seen during the normal course of day, this would cause a tremendous ripple among the tribe. A great meeting would be called, the elders would be consulted, and great care would be taken to communicate with the animal spirits to determine the meaning of the message.
"Not much has changed over time, as you yourself recognize the special power of the white deer that comes to you – and wish to know more about it.
"When white occurs in the animal realm it is a message of:
* higher thoughts
* higher ideals
* purity of soul
* cleansing of spirit
* attaining higher knowledge
"Compound these attributes with the those that the Female deer represents:
* Benevolence
* Kindness
* Creativity
* Spirituality
* Renewal
* Connectedness
"The Male deer holds the same representations, but also includes attributes of:
* Longevity
* Virility
* Abundance
* Endurance
"The deer was/is a symbol to the Native Americans representative of the great spirit – a sign of the sun as its antlers spread like the sun’s rays. The Native Americans also recognized the shedding and regrowth of the antlers and deemed this a symbol of regeneration, cycle, and growth.
"Above all, we can recognize the sensitivity of the deer - alert, keen, and always aware – we can translate these qualities to of being spiritually aware – and this is why the deer is seen primarily as a spiritual symbol.
"The fact that you were able to see this very powerful sign – the white deer – is a message that you are on a path of growth and expansion that will lead you in a direction beyond your wildest dreams. The message of the white deer is one of “get ready.” "

And my response to all of this, "Oh really now, I am ready."
