Caterpillars and Spiders and Totems, Oh MY!


**Side By side, crawling up my house was this unlikely Pair. A VERY large spider and a wooly Caterpillar. This was the second VERY large Spider I saw outside my home, and not long after, We found a few indoors! Right before bedtime, in the bedrooms, no less. Eeek! Not My cup of Tea**

Interesting Note:
As Native American Totems, Animals, insects and
reptiles are representative of lessons we are called to learn. 

The Lesson of the Spider is: Balance, Wisdom, Creativity and Communication. 
The Lesson of the Caterpillar is: preparedness for transformation, and the quality of inching along, or moving slowly, moment by moment, for the greater good of the transformation ahead. 
(Synchronistically, I keep hearing the song "One Step at a Time", By Jordan Sparks)

I have never failed to see a connection in the out-of -the ordinary animal sitings, and what's happening in my life at the moment.
Happy Trails....

This is the first I've heard of Native American Totems, but it goes hand-in-hand with how I already see the world. From license plate "messages" that catch my eye to encounters with strangers, there are no accidents. Everything carries a message for me. So now I need to learn all about these Native American Totems so that I'm not missing messages in my animal and insect encounters. I'll stay tuned. Is there a way for me to subscribe?
