I truly believe that the Earth is a living sentient being. And we are royally fucking her up too. But anyway. I've been studying shamanism to go along with my end of life care/psychopomp way of life and I just read the other night that when you truly give love to the earth, ie by tending to it and helping it to be healthy, she will thank you for your kindness.
So yesterday evening, I'm out back watering and sending happy thoughts so grass will grow again and while I'm meditating on it mindfully and enjoying the way the water smells when it hits the dry earth, I hear crows. So I look up and two fly across the cloudy, overcast, sky right over the sun.... And then. And then. So beautiful... A rainbow. A circular rainbow literally blossomed out if the clouds as I watched. Coincidence? Maybe. But I believe I got a thank you from the Universe. And this synchronicity kind of felt like a little miracle just for me! The effect is called a Sun Halo - a refraction/reflection of ice crystals. I have never seen one personally before and to see it bloom while I was looking up at the crows flying by, was just amazing. I have been having more and more of these experiences since starting my Psychopomp studies too. And I am so very grateful. The photos don't do it justice - I only had my phone but still, I think they are lovely.

So, yesterday the CDC said it's totally fine for fully vaccinated adults to de-mask and ignore the 6 feet rule. *blink*
I get that people reallllly want to go back to the way the world was before Covid, but man. This seems so premature. First, I thought they said even vaccinated people could carry Covid and pass it on. Second, I thought we masked up to keep other people safe from our germs. Third, what about all the variants? This feels like there is going to be a whole lot of Typhoid Mary's flying about not to mention all the "Karens" who are just going to lie about being fully vaccinated anyway. Sigh. I also hated the Biden actually mentioned that people should still be nice and kind to anyone wearing a mask. WTF? That just screams MOCK THE MASKED PEOPLE. I asked my cards what they thought - I actually asked three times because I didn't like the answer LOLOL First card I got was three of wands: New journeys beginning - evaluate as you go and be aware that you may be at the mercy of external forces (spot on but I didn't like it) Second card after I didn't like that one LOL : Queen of Swords - Wise governance to accomplish difficult things - take zero bullshit. (Sigh, I see where this is going) Third card and final one because I hear you: Leaving the known behind. Hope for something better and new. (right, got it) So, what it comes down to is *I* am not ready to de-mask yet. First as I still have my second jab to go so I won't be fully vaccinated until Mid June. Second, I don't trust most people to be honest because I get that they want to be free again. I truly hope that cases don't skyrocket in the next month because that would be a good thing. But with the way this has gone - I think prudence would be better -until we see how cases/variants go. But I will continue to wear my mask until I personally feel safe about not wearing one and if anyone gives me hassle, I will punch you (in my mind.) So, yesterday I went and got my first jab. It was the Pfizer version and so far the only noticeable side-effect is my arm feeling like that masked cow kicked it hard. Last night I could hardly lift my arm up at all but this morning it is better after stretching it. The other not noticeable side-effect is my resting heart-rate is slightly elevated - which means that whatever the vaccine is supposed to be doing is doing it.
I really wasn't sure if I even wanted a vaccine. I have never gotten a flu one and have only had a bad flu two times in my life. But, Covid seems like such a great unknown that I felt it was probably better to just go ahead and get it. Not that I plan to unmask and join the great masses again. I like not getting sick - I mean any sort of sickness - and my inner introvert loves being masked. It's like I am unseen and that makes me happy when I go out. So, jab number two is in three weeks. Luckily the OC Fairgrounds was really organized and did a great job - I didn't even feel the needle. Everything is slowly reopening which is cool, but if we could just keep the curb side pick up available, that would be awesome! |
