Ever had a rush of thoughts, visions, memories and emotions come rush in all at once? Seems this mostly happens to me late at night, usually within minutes. Like a sudden epiphany? I suppose it is when I am at my most least distracted, the house is quiet.
Once upon a time, I viewed them more as racing thoughts coupled with exhaustion. These days I am able to decode and receive them as messages. Tonight, I told my husband that I must start to immediately record these or write about them.
I had just gotten comfortable and began to reflect on earlier in the evening. I had been outside in the late afternoon, slowly swing myself in the swing we had hung in the Mimosa tree last year. I thought of the fairy statue that sits on the table by the swing.
I then thought of another statue. The guardian angel that sits by my daughter's grave. Both are found in my deck. However, i thought how one was facing away in the photo and the other was facing forward.
Then I also began to recall my friend Mags, as she spoke about the card "Boundary" in my deck. It was the difference in perspective that got me thinking here. She had seen the card and a received a potent message within the card that I had not. One of contradictory.
"Wow", I thought. How could I have not gotten that before? I created it. Now the card is even richer in meaning for myself and others. Then the message of the one who gives and one who receives. I thought of the statues. I began to ponder perspective.
Now, mind you these weren't really individual thoughts I was having but rather an all at once deeper understanding. Two halves of a whole...or more for that matter that equal a whole. The important part was that it is more than a mere creation of say, a deck and what I channeled out/given as a message. For the creation to truly come alive, it must also be channeled in and received by another.
What I learned was this, it is so very important to share our creative gifts with the world (I'm listening Mags..lol) Whether it is writing, crafting,painting,photographing or creating an oracle deck, sometimes it is not enough to just keep this preciousness we channel to ourselves.
Creativity most often is meant for something bigger. It is not truly realized, the message has not been fully understood or translated until it is received by another. Then it builds and spreads and brings about things like change, perspective, emotions and even healing. The creation and the message gains depth and richer in meaning.
So, I will leave this here, this 2am ramble I channeled in. I give it to you, Receive it. Get what you will from it and share with another.

I get it. I know this is true of my own deck. I knew I was the facilitator and that the tree spirits had so much to share with others, only then would the fullness of the creation be realised. Illuminating rambling thoughts.
