...my soul's fuel,
right now,
and often,
...is...spirit...
...from my perspective,
in large part
based on
personal experience,
we are never alone,
spirit is with us,
always...
...and, for me,
when we leave this earthly plane,
we continue on,
in different form,
that is different,
for each of us...
...spirit,
for me,
shows up in many,
many,
different ways...
...in different forms...
...in different ways,
in various times,
on various days...
...sometimes it could be,
...a feather
...a coin
...a song that comes on
...wildlife that shows up
...a symbol that is found
...a number sequence
...a voice (clairaudience)
...a vision/seeing (clairvoyance)
...a feeling (clairsentience)
...a scent (clairalience)
...a knowing (claircognizance)
...for me,
spirit can show up as,
the universe – or all that is,
an ancestor (whether known or not),
a guide (whether known or not),
...for me,
spirit can show up through,
an animal,
a plant, tree, rock, mineral,
a song,
dreams/night travels,
a word,
a knowing...
...there's so many different ways,
variations...
...i took this photo - which shows out of focus far away clouds against a bright blue sky, overlayed by a bright sun in shades of orange, pink and yellow, which is overlayed with a spiderweb reflecting rainbow hues and bright, bright light, finally overlayed with a white feather touching the web - dancing with it really - connected, yet free to move and fly away if it wished ...i took this photo shortly after my kitty moved on out of this realm - quite young, pretty unexpectedly, so it was challenging - my snuggle buddy, often a meditation partner, joy bringer, and so much more. she had a pretty rough life before she found her way into my space, even with the little that i know of it - and yet she always held the sweetest, most loving heart... i'm beyond grateful that she got to be in my 3d life while she was, i'm sooo glad i got to know her immense capacity for love, and that she could of mine ...AND, i know she's purrfectly happy out there in the ether, exploring, basking, making new friends, stopping by me to connect sometimes, providing guidance sometimes ...i took this picture once all of that really deeply settled into a space of awareness - the spider web, to me signifies the web of life and how EVERYTHING is connected, with the sun's blessing at its back casting warmth and light with its rays, to the feather - to me not caught in the web, but part of it, connected, yet winged and free ...when i saw this, ...that felt so, so good!!!

(above is an inner spirit portrait i created of silvia, guided by her as well to convey her love of music, nature and meditation)
