8- Divine Adjustment / Reflective Resilience

"Sometimes Prayer is the best Medicine."

" Maat, Egyptian Goddess of Truth, Law,
and Justice, invites us to become the 
Silent Witness /Observer, to use wise 
discernment,before making Life Choices; 
For it's in moments of Clarity, that we see 
through the veils of Illusion, delusion, 
and Deception / Self- Deception."

"Maat, is known to preside over the 
Judgment of the Dead, placing her Self 
or a Feather, in Divine Scales opposite
the Heart of the Deceased, to test its 
honesty and its truthful intentions."
A. Arrien

Maat, makes herself know in my 
life processes, most recently in the 
form of a slow drifting Owl Feather. 
Examining its soft, delicate stripes, 
I hold the Owl Feather to my Heart, 
and release attachment to the Past. 

Emerging from an 8 year initiation 
traversing the 'Valley of Death',
I take a breath and still my Mind. 
Grieving the loss of my First Love, 
some Uncles, Cousins, Friends and 
Canine Companions has been brutal. 

Enduring the transitions of so many 
loved ones, strengthens one's faith 
and tests the fabric of one's resolve. 
Being a living, breathing, conduit for 
Divine Justice within each moment, 
requires great personal discipline. 

Embodying objectivity, as buttons 
are pushed, is a true Sacred Practice 
that challenges the Heart's Resilience.
Courageously, we can face our Shadows, 
with a firm grip, compassionate hands 
reining in our Feelings and Emotions. 

Discerning fantasy, wishful thinking 
from reality, we learn the limits of 
what we can do and what we can't.
We know what we can handle and 
realize when to surrender things 
to God/ess, Divine Guidance. 

Honoring this Wisdom, allows us to 
fulfill our Personal and Professional
commitments, to walk a Sacred Path. 
Walking, talking, singing, dancing, etc., 
we remain grounded, mindful, using
practical skills to attain our goals.

" Uniting Thought, Emotion and Feeling,
with clear intention, our World mirrors
the effect of our Heartfelt Prayers.
(Gregg Braden)
