Medicine Mama knows that being there is enough. While the majority offers long-winded rebuttals or quick-fix answers, Otter comes to float with you in the waters of uncertainty.
Whether you find yourself alone in a meandering river, or with a crowd in an expansive ocean, Otter Spirit is there, wooing you to an adventure of self-discovery, filled with wonder and awe.
If you are clinging to what you know, don’t be surprised when the mistress of aquatic summersaulting shows up to draw you into self-exploration. Medicine Mama knows that in order to experience Life’s generosity, you must get out of your head and into the circular flow. It begins with self.
Instead of telling you how you ought to see, feel or believe, the Wise One’s spirit works her magic in playful ways. And as everyday life seems to make less sense, this member of the weasel family asks you to have both faith and a little fun.
Do you believe that being devoted to your grounding practices is morphing you in life-changing ways? If you can trust that transformation is taking place and that it can actually make a difference in the world, then you are more like Otter than you think.
Though verbal absoluteness draws a crowd, sensitivity to deeper meanings and to the context of what is being said pulls you out to sea, where you can tread the waters of possibilities. Try this: Release your attachment to certitude and allow Curiosity to take the lead.
Perhaps being rational, analytical and straightforward guides you in making decisions. Have you considered complementing your reasoning with intuition and creativity?
When you marry intuition and logic, you open yourself up to wholeness. Which comes more naturally to you? How might you develop the other? Otters look cute holding hands, but do not let that fool you. They are highly intelligent, as well. Creating a raft, by binding themselves together, is the way they protect their lodge.
Medicine Mama may carry the healing answer to wholeness. Are you willing to begin by exploring the unknown parts of yourself?
