In The Rooster's Nest - His Morning Crow 11.03.2021 (Rocky Raccoon)

It's Weeeeeeird Weeeeddnesdayyyyy!
Yayyyyy!
Good morning my chicks.
Today our insights from The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo
were about the meaning of "Genius".
In typical Western ideology it has come to mean "unusual brilliance of mind; an ability to retain or calculate or conceptualize uncanny amounts of information. But the original sense of GENIUS means attendant of spirit - being in the care of something unseen but near.
It is Really another definition of wholeness or God, another way of acknowledging the Tao, the unseeable stream we all swim in."
He talks about how our "daily mind" is often oblivious to this stream and that "crisis" can be what it takes to join our attendant spirit with our daily mind.
He speaks about how the Chinese ideogram for "danger" also means "opportunity".
"Perhaps the purpose of crisis, if there is one, is not to break us as much as to break us open."

I personally am reminded of the Leonard Cohen quote, "There is a crack in everything; that's how the light gets in."

Our card for today was "Growth" - with a green leaf that looks like a heart, on a background of green duck weed. How Frickin Beautiful.
"Love, both given and received, is the primary nutrient that feeds me and enables me to grow and adapt. My heart and Soul grow deeper in love as I embrace the contrasts of my life."

And Then I sing along to "Rocky Raccoon" by The Beatles; written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Because its a little weird!! And I like it!
Good times.
