Totem, Bees, Play

Sunday morning starts off with our Totem Pole. This is a symbol of our family, especially our spiritual family. When we go to church, our spiritual family joins us. This is a very powerful symbol. We see the Thunderbird, the eagle with great sight and the hawk. It's no coincidence that they are on top of the head of the ancestor. It is through our 8th chakra that we make our connection with our soul and to those in Spirit. Behind the totem, we see the standing people. This is what native Americans call the trees. They give respect to the Creator's children of all types.

The bees are busy doing their work. Some are flying looking for a good place to work. Others are taking their product to the hive for storage. Each of us have a job to do. We have been given assignments. Some of us are the workers, the drones, the nurse bees or even the queens. Bees also go through a transformation. We too go through the cycles of life and transform. The bees focus on the highest good for all and the hive. We too can focus on our highest good for mankind. This is a thought worth contemplating for illumination. What action can come from these thoughts?

Time to play. Play is good when done in balance. If you work hard, then spend some time and play hard. This evening is a good time to play, so what do you want to do? Dominoes, checkers and board games are fun. Don't forget that God created fun too.


On another level, I'm drawn to continuation of the species. The Totem speaks of those who have come before us. They have left us a legacy. Then we have the (birds & bees) procreation. The pollination of the flowers, fruits and nuts even healing. Some folks have found that the bee sting heals too. Amazing little fellows. Finally, we have recreation. So from creation, procreation and recreation. The Creator is in everything.

We are blessed and loved.
