Messages from Gaia

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly…

Beloved ones, dear and precious to my heart,

Picture in your mind a bird’s nest and in it are baby birds. When the birds are tiny, the parents provide for the needs of the little birds. They bring food, they keep the babies warm, they protect them from predators.

As the young birds grow and mature what do the parents do? They change their focus from providing for their offspring’s needs to helping them care for themselves. The time comes for the fledglings to leave the nest, to spread their wings and fly.

How sad it would be if the parents tried to keep their children in the nest, continuing to meet their needs long beyond what was actually needed. Can you imagine a grown eagle still living in its nest, expecting the parents to bring it food, unwilling to fly and find its own food? It’s not a pretty sight.

Nature knows! When the time is right, young birds and animals are ready to care for themselves. They have been taught the skills they need. Then it’s time to fly or run or swim free!

Humans often make things more complicated. There can be more choices and decisions. But there is still a natural order and flow to development and it needs to be honored or problems will result.

Humanity is facing a time when a new stage of development is unfolding. It is time for humans to leave the safety of the nest, so to speak, and spread their wings and fly!

Look around you! Some people are already flying!! You may not be able to see their wings but you can see the smiles on their faces, the clarity of their life purpose being fulfilled, the joy that they are experiencing. They are finding community with others who are flying! Love is the wind beneath their wings. Fear has vanished like darkness when light shines.

The nest is crumbling. Staying there will not be an option for much longer. The old is dying, the new is being born. Institutions have outlived their usefulness in their current form. Everything and everyone must change. The only choice is how to respond to the earth changes.

My darlings, don’t be afraid when you feel the winds of change blowing. Open your hearts and feel the new emerging in its beauty and perfection. All you need will be provided! You are not alone. Your Earth Mother cares for you each moment, as does every aspect of the Divine. You are held in arms of love for we never leave your side. Just take our hands and the hands of those you love and walk forward in confidence and trust.

The unfolding is well underway and soon more will be revealed. The New will be beautiful beyond your wildest expectations! Hold fast to your dreams and know that your wings will carry you to a bright future.

All is well, my dear ones. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend
