Shadow’s Gift

I sometimes sing HU to the feral cat at the river where we feed jays and squirrels. Shadow, featured in the image above, loves attention as much as she loves the food people bring for her. I befriended Shadow more than ten years ago, when she was first abandoned, and fed her each morning while working at the water treatment plant adjacent to the park. Winters are especially difficult for Shadow. I grew to admire her survival skills and strength of will. She has been an inspirational teacher.

In this life I have had many wonderful pets and have learned many spiritual lessons from them. At present, I have four little birds. Only one did I raise from a tiny thumb-sized baby. He was green, so I called him Little Bean. The first day I had him, he jumped off his cage onto the floor where my new rescue cat, Daisy, appeared out of nowhere and snatched him up and carried him off.

The phrase translates to “I am you, and you are me,” or “You are a reflection of myself.” Often the right hand is placed over the heart at this exchange.

At the age of twenty-eight, I moved to Honolulu where I lived for the better part of a year behind the International Marketplace in Waikiki. Seven years had passed since I’d read my first book on out-of-the-body travel, The Tiger’s Fang, by Paul Twitchell. I was about to learn more.

About 9 years ago, Bonnie began to feel more and more tired, like her adrenals were tapped. She told me, “When I was under stress it was more pronounced and following some US Immigration procedures that required vaccination for Measles, Mumps, and Rubella, as well as a TB test, I noticed a significant decline in my health. My body was very tired. Self-limiting beliefs contributed to my weakening condition.

October 2024 was my 19th wedding anniversary. Eight anniversaries have come and gone since my spouse was able to celebrate it with me. Alzheimer’s changed our lives. This year was the first time since he was diagnosed with the disease that I decided to mark the occasion by dining out. It felt like it was “time” to openly share our love. My sister graciously agreed to accompany me and help create some new memories.

While hiking in or near the Navajo Reservation, I became aware of one of their fundamental beliefs—”the Beauty Way”. Here are some words from a tribal elder:

Tuesday afternoon, August 10th, 2021: The Kaiser hospice bereavement coordinator brought me a new list with the names of people, the bereaved, who had lost a loved one six months ago while on Kaiser hospice. My volunteer job is to phone them, sort of interview them, and determine if any would need and be interested in help from our excellent bereavement counselors. I’ve learned that divine timing plays a role in this.
