I was getting my 2-1/2 year old ready for a nap after a long morning of unpacking holiday decorations. She has been drawn to images of fairies and angels lately and had really taken to a set of six little gold cherubs, whose origins I can’t recall. Each sits in a different repose with gold, looped strings on their backs for hanging. She began animating them with complicated, interesting biographies and insisted they sit on her dresser during her nap so they could sing to her. And as I laid her down, her face brightened and she said to me, “Everything that poops has an Angel.” She shone with the knowledge of it, and I thrilled with her message. When truth is revealed it always feels remembered. There is such beauty in the simplicity of that nugget; the universality of this most basic function, and the juxtaposition of this very primal, unglamorous act with the realm of highly ascended spiritual entities. We are all, indeed, guided by unseen forces every moment of our lives, and whatever our life circumstances are, these benevolent expressions support us in our spiritual growth. This message might serve as a reminder that even, and especially, in our most private, stripped down and intimate moments, not only are we watched over with unconditional love and non-judgment, but all other beings are as well. We are all born with angelic consciousness in our tool boxes, and we have access to this guidance and wisdom at all times. All beings are worthy of pure love. It is our birthright and our access pass to unlimited happiness. The spirit world and this dense physical plane are simply different aspects of the same energy matrix, and the veil between the two is measured by our ability to perceive it. It is easy to feel that this gap is wide when we spend so much of our focus on survival, or feel we are distanced from the miraculous and extraordinary. But miracles define and shape our lives, and we are no better or worse than any other person. We all share the basics of the human experience, and it doesn’t get any more basic than poop. So as we cross over into this new year, fraught with so many challenging things and riddled with so much uncertainty, know that you, and everyone around you, is armed with an infinite source of love, intelligence, divine guidance, and creativity. And the only assurance you need of this is a quiet moment in the bathroom. Peace & Light, |
