The card that accompanied us this week was the Cat Goddess
“From the absolute calm, I am able to reach my goal in seconds. Even in the apparent drowsiness, I am connected to the highest alertness and mindfulness.
Through my playful nature, I bring joy wherever things have become too difficult. “I teach you to experience absolute presence.” (Quote from the book The Stone Circle, 96 Archetypes for Peace)
This was my orientation for the week, which helped me to keep my life anchored through the many appointments, requests, ups and downs.
The Cat Goddess helped me enormously to pause where necessary, to silence the comments and make quick decisions from there, and when necessary, to simply seek out silence and retreat in all the turbulent movements.
Sometimes I actually had to jump out of a conversation like a cat to make a quick and important decision.
A dental treatment came into my life that came as a great surprise and where I first had to let go of all ideas of how something should or must be in order to fully enter into the present and make decisions from there.
There were emotional disappointments, such as having to cancel favorite events like a night of waking with the children, but the cat goddess helped me not to get lost in them. I remained grounded.
And despite intense pain and physical exhaustion, she led me through the labyrinth of feelings to a spiritual clarity, a bath in the sea, writing down important insights in my diary, and also to unusual and unplanned encounters.
And one day, one night before the full moon, when I had almost forgotten the card “cat goddess” in the hustle and bustle of life, my 27-year-old cat Pfötchen suddenly disappeared.
I searched and called, but she could not be found, even though she normally does not leave the house.
“Stop looking, trust,” was the message. And when I woke up that night to look for her again, she was just lying there, calm and serene, almost regal in her place.
The situation in the world, the question of how to proceed with the decision to hold a vigil in Canaan…all of this moves my soul very much and yet I had to silence the mind that was planning too early and keep reminding myself: strength comes from calmness.
External events that accompanied the week: a birthday party for my beloved partner Delon, who celebrated his 82nd birthday, many meetings with loved ones, and at the same time, lots of requests for meetings and appointments from the community.
A seminar on water retention landscapes and much more.
Thank you for this wonderful week.
