How many baskets of eggs do you have?
I’m looking at a beautiful picture of a bird’s nest woven of a wheat colored straw, with three shiny light blue robin eggs safely, nestled inside.
I cannot see all of the activity taking place just beneath the surface of the egg shells.
Although, in my mind’s eye, I can see life, growth and evolution going on.
I can’t see any of this taking place.
I don’t have to see any thing that is happening inside the eggs, but I know without a doubt life already is.
I cannot tell when, or how, the eggs will hatch.
What I know is, they will hatch.
As I sit here looking at this picture, the process that ended up as three eggs in a nest is becoming clear to me.
I wonder if mama robin meticulously built her nest first before becoming impregnated.
Or, was the process of creating new life already under way before she decided to build her nest?
The nest itself is a woven work of art.
Just like the Israelites had to gather straw to make bricks to build the Egyptian pyramids, mama robin had to gather straw, lots of straw, to weave her intricately woven soft, sturdy nest to hold, and support the eggs she would be laying.
First she had to choose the perfect tree and just the right branch for her nest.
I’ve never seen a bird sitting on her nest, but I have seen a bird protecting her nest.
There was a nest in a bush planted in my flower bed in front of my house.
The only way I knew the nest was there is because whenever anyone got near the bush, the bird would start circling, somewhat noisily, around the area.
Just like a mother.
Just like a Creator.
Doing whatever it takes to protect her offspring.
Doing whatever it takes to protect her Creation.
Who taught mama robin how to build a nest?
Did anyone have to teach her?
There are so many things we know, innately, on the inside, that no one ever have to teach us.
We, too, are already equipped with all we need to know to prepare for, build and grow our lives, and all that which we choose to have in our lives.
All we have to do is be the bird.
Be who you are.
The robin is not concerned about any other bird.
She is all about her own business.
The other birds are not concerned about mama robin.
Because there is enough space, trees, straw and worms for each of them.
Their world is abundant.
There is no lack, scarcity, fear, worry, or doubt.
They just merrily fly, chirp and sing beautifully, eat worms, build nests, and lay eggs, simply living life, being birds.
Being, and doing, what they came here to be, and do.
They are Creators too, just like us.
We too, are here to be, and do, what we came here to be, and do.
Our world is even more abundant.
There is so much possibility available to us.
We have so many options to choose from.
There are so many nests we can build.
We do not have to put all of our eggs in one nest.
But we sure can put as many eggs in as many nests as we want to.
There are so many things we can breathe life into.
Our work is the same as mama robin.
We know that we must prepare the way for our Creations.
We have to choose our tree.
We have to gather the perfect straws and intricately weave them into a safe, sturdy, supportive, beautiful space to hold and nurture the eggs we are laying.
Lay the eggs.
Give birth to the ideas.
Then know without a doubt that the most important work will take place beneath the surface, in the place you cannot see with your eyes.
But in your mind’s eye you know God is busy working on your behalf, doing her part in the spaces you cannot see, growing and evolving the creation you have laid the foundation for, and have been carefully preparing for.
You do your part and your art, and God will always do her part and her art.
There it is again.
That Co-Creative Dance with God!
Then we carefully watch over our creations and protect them at all costs, knowing they will birth into new life.
We don’t have to worry about there not being enough of anything, because there is more than enough abundance for each of us.
Let go of any lack, scarcity, fear, worry, or doubt.
Mind your business, and your businesses.
Merrily go about doing the work of being who you uniquely are. doing what you uniquely do, enjoying all that life has to offer you.
Be free, and understand there are no limits to what is available to, and for you.
You get to decide how many nests you have.
You get to decide how many eggs to put into your nests!
Now spread your wings and soar!
Heart. Based. Sharing
Peace. Love. Blessings
