TRUST IN GOD AT ALL TIMES- SOLEAL

Angels: Are the Covenant Enforcing Agents of the Throne of the Most High God. We are the CIA of the Spiritual World, in which when the Great Spirit speaks, or when the voice of man is heard, we will divinely intervene in the lives of man, but we will only move, when it is the Will of our Great Spirit (God)

Your Angels Are Listening.....Speak the unseen as though it were, and it shall be done unto you!

"Now Faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things (we) hope for, being the proof of things (we) do not see and the conviction of their reality (faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses)" (Hebrews 11:1 Amplified Version).

Therefore, have Faith that it is done, and what ever you need, want or desire, and you have Faith that you shall receive it, it will be the substance of your Faith that your desires shall be manifested unto you....BELIEVE

SYMBOLISM OF THE DRAGONFLY

Symbolism of Dragonflies As a creature of the wind, the dragonlfy totem represents change. It's iridescent wings are incredibly sensitive to the slightest breeze, and so we are reminded to heed where the proverbial wind blows - lest we run into stormy weather. Dragonflies are also creatures of the water, and any creature whose habitat is in, or around water carries symbolism relative the the subconscious, or "dreaming" mind and thoughts.
This is because in the animal world, water is symbolic of the subconscious mind ("deeper mind," "dreaming mind") and relates to the thoughts we have in relaxed/meditative/sleeping/subconscious states.
Quick-list animal symbolism of the dragonfly:
prosperity
good luck
strength
peace
harmony
purity
These symbolic meanings of dragonfly are particularly associated in Asian (Japan) and Native American (Plains region) circles.
Dragonflies carry messages that deal with deeper thought - and they ask that we pay attention to our deeper thoughts and desires.
Further symbolic insect meaning of dragonfly comes into play when we observe the dragonfly's mode of transportation as it skitters across the top of water surfaces. This implies that our deeper thoughts are surfacing and we must be mindful of the outcome we wish to have.
The dragonfly is a reminder that when our deeper thoughts rise to the surface we must pay attention - there are lessons to be learned, and we are also reminded that what we think is directly proportionate to what we "see on the surface." ...In short, our thoughts (even the deeper ones that we might not be as in-touch with as we are with our conscious thoughts) are responsible for what we see in our lives - in our physical surroundings.
The dragonfly gives us a very powerful meditation tool. Close your eyes, and focus on a thought - let it rise to the surface of your mind's ocean - see that thought float lightly up to the water's surface. Now upon the top of a smooth, calm glass-like surface - visualize that thought moving across that water - sliding across - smooth and fast.
This exercise is useful when we want to visualize positive outcomes in a situation. We see the thought of hope happily moving across an ocean of peace (peaceful mind) and skitting to a perfect outcome.
Lastly it should be noted that the Dragonfly lives a short life, and it knows it must live to the fullest with what it has. This lesson is huge for each of us. When you see a dragonfly, be aware of the gifts it has to offer by keeping its animal totem meanings in mind.
I hope you have enjoyed these observations on the animal symbolism of the dragonfly.

IT'S ONLY A TINY ROSEBUD

It's only a tiny rosebud,

A flower of God's design;

But I cannot unfold the petals

With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers

is not known to such as I.

God opens this flower so sweetly,

When in my hands they die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud,

This flower of God's design,

Then how can I have the wisdom

To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust in Him for leading

Each moment of my day.

I will look to him for His guidance

Each step of the pilgrim way.

The pathway that lies before me,

Only my Heavenly Father knows.

I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,

Just as He unfolds the rose.

CALL TO THE 4 SACRED WINDS

Call To The Four Sacred Winds

Back To My Home Page

Back To Native American Poetry

I call to the East, where the Father ascends

to all Mother Earth where life begins.

I fly through the cedars, pines, willows, and birch

as animals below me wander and search.

I call to the South, to the land down below.

Turtle stands silent, as man strings his bow

to hunt food and fur for his kin before snow.

A life will end so others will grow.

I call to the North, that yansa once knew.

I follow their path til it disappears from view.

Once vast in number, there stand but a few.

I hear only ghost thunder of millions of hooves.

I call to the West, to the ends of the lands,

to the Tsalagi, Kiowa, Comanche ... all bands.

Unite for the strength. Teach the young and demand

that you are Native Americans. Learn your tongue and stand.

My name is Freedom... I fly through this land.

I call to the Four Sacred Winds of Turtle Island.

Spirit Wind (Pat Poland)

THE LAST WARRIOR

High on bleak, stony rag,

Unmoving, he sits astride

His ragged coated pony.

Only telltale frozen breaths,

Separate them from

The still, winter black boles

Of ancient leafless trees.

The pony, blown and lame,

Stands with lowered head,

Ears flattened to the sound

Of a distant wolf pack.

The man on his back,

All weapons lost,

Ignores the trickling blood

From savage wounds,

Mingling his war paint.

Eyes burning fiercely

He strains to find

The sign he seeks:

Behind, the sound of enemy

Draws ever closer.

At last, faith rewarded,

He sees far below

In the deep valley,

Arriving at the edge

Of the fast flowing river,

The great she bear

With two gamboling cubs:

To fish the racing salmon,

Drawn relentlessly toward

Their age-old spawning ground.

Silently, the wounded brave

Offers his final prayer

To the eternal clan bear;

Totem and guardian

Of his battle slain tribe.

The enemy, exultant,

Are almost upon him,

Yet he looks not behind:

He sees only the Great Spirit,

Surrounding him kindly

In loving, firm embrace.

While the enemy closes in,

He straightens himself;

His voice rings loud and clear,

Echoing across the land

To the distant cloudless sky.

One last defiant war cry

As he spurs on his pony,

And leaps...

Into the world of his ancestors.

W.J. Bruce
