I Am a Dinosaur, a Fossil.
I Am the Weave of Life
I have had a dinosaur vertebrae for a few years now. It is precious to me, and I’ve kept it by my bed.
Then I made it into a necklace, to easily have it on me during the day. I wove a net around the fossil so it could be the necklace’s pendant.
I decided to attend the Western Lights Illuminated Art Festival. It was an outdoor event, featuring art installations along the streets and plazas of downtown Reno.
Before leaving my apartment, I donned my dinosaur necklace. Grr. I am a beast. Ancient wonders are in my bones. Grr. Power! Hard as stone, a fossil.
I had committed to sending a direct spiritual transmission to some clients and other friends. (A direct spiritual transmission is a spell I cast to give people good luck and other blessings. Click here for more explanations about transmissions.)
While walking to the festival, I did part of that transmission.
In fact, this post started as a note to folks for whom I am currently giving a long-term spiritual transmission. I sometimes send personal notes to transmission recipients during the process. Then I thought other individuals might enjoy the note, so here it is.
So, I’m sending the transmission while walking. The motion–step, step, balance, forward momentum, loss of balance, balance, turn the corner—adds power to the transmissions.
Movement is energy. Movement fuels energy.
So do other aspects of my walk to the festival: The churning gray river, brilliantly moist river air, barking dogs. Geese arrogant and menacing on the riverside walkways. A mom in a broad-brim hat and sundress despite the chill. She tries to photograph her toddler, who runs away faster than such small feet could ever manage, while her husband frantically tries to catch up with the wee one before he gets himself into trouble.
I arrive at the festival. Among the first exhibits I see is a dinosaur skull made of tiny pieces of mirror—the most fantastic disco mirrorball in all the cosmos.
Andrew Frank, the artist who created the mirrored dinosaur, used over 11,000 disco tiles in the sculpture.
While continuing the transmission, I tuck a political flyer into a sculpture here and there. Just a few flyers total. Careful that no one sees me. Dinosaurs are extinct, right? Would anyone trust their eyes if they do notice me?
One of my core beliefs is that everything is magic, and each thing weaves with all other things.
Another of my core beliefs: You and I are each the entire universe, each part of it woven with all the other parts.
A fossil, but not extinct, embodies the invisible magical power of connectivity.
Given my beliefs, here is how I, of course, experienced a dinosaur skull made of over 11,000 tiny mirrors: Every mirror reflected all of the universe’s light; all the mirrored pieces together, and all that light together, all of it reflected my power back to me and illuminated it, increasing it.
One might view that walk to and through the exhibit as the entire cosmos celebrating each of its parts. Or as an urban Shaman’s walking meditation. Or as a Fairy Witch dancing with the city’s magic. No difference.
for a modern fairytale book that supports your connectivity.
What beautiful synchronicity! And…Disco Dino! What a great inspiration to continue to be open to the flow of the universe. You are a powerful marvel of energy flowing.
You are so sweet. Thank you! Yes, opening to the flow of the universe brings many gifts!
The synchronicity of wearing the vertebrae and of seeing Disco Dino is no surprise when it comes to you, beautiful.
And your spiritual transmissions are such gifts!
Thank you, Arwen! You are beautiful. I love giving transmissions. Hugs
Luv this and sent it to Chad!
Oh, thank you, dear!!!
How very reflective! And so powerful! In so many ways! I could feel the power of your magic as I read. And the universe reflecting it’s power onto you. Magic. Power. You. Me. All. Weaving the universe together.
Thank you for sharing
Sandy, thank you for seeing me and understanding me. And for your kind words, and for the beauty of them. And for weaving with me in yr comment. All blessings to you, dear.
Blessed Ostara, Francesca. Who else but you would find a disco dinosaur skull? 😄 May your walks be filled with the light of the lengthening days. ❤️
Ha, Deb!
You are always so supportive and an ego boost for me, thank you!
Happy Equinox! I wish you everything you need and truly want.
This was lovely to read. I felt like I was seeing it with you. That dinosaur head!
Thank you, dear, that means a lot to me!
This is a great reminder for me to take a walk. I live by many natural walking and hiking trails, and spring is my favorite season. Love a nice city stroll too. The mirror ball is awesome! Thank you for this post ❤️
Thank you! You know the expression, “you teach what you need to learn“? I don’t take enough walks myself. I mean, I walk a lot a lot a lot, but I would just like to walk more more more more more. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I love the energy of walking meditations, and you conveyed yours so clearly. Also, I think I need to see the mirrored dinosaur skull in person, that’s awesome!
Even better, I went and found his Insta, the piece is dedicated to Taylor Swift. <3
Thank you for your supportive words about my writing ability, wow, that makes me feel so good, Natara.
Yeah, it’s pretty impressive in person. I didn’t know it was dedicated to TS, how wonderful, thank you for telling me!
Beautiful and powerful. Felt like I was right there with you (which…I was!).
I love it, thank you! Indeed you were with me, 😂 because no matter how far apart we are physically, we are on a wonderful journey together!
