Hurricane Irma and blowing her away

The Eye of GOD
During the past two days, I have gone through so many feelings due to  the excessive and frightenting coverage of this hurricane. I survived well through Sandy in 2013 while living in NJ but  here in Florida, it  feels that there is deeper sense of catastrophe and doom. Certainly,  Floridians have  a much deeper and more profound connection to  big weather.   On Tuesday, much of the bottled  water and automobile gas in many stores and stations  was completely depleted in Sarasota. The constant topic of conversations was the storm and I was left feeling quite sad,anxious and uncertain.

I did my due dilligence of getting the necessary water, food, candles and other supplies needed but still felt that there was more to do.

Even though I had just written the last post on neutrality, I did not know how to access that state.  Then a friend shared with me a brilliant way to take back our power  in the midst of so much intentional and potentional chaos. 

We are all focusing on the deadly strength of this storm but not on the very real connection to nature that we as humans have. We have all heard about the rain dances that the original peoples would perform to shift the weather.  And there have been many documented instances where storms are directly headed for certain places and in the last minute shift to another place entirely. We also know that many of these huge  weather  events are  a direct reflection of the chaos  on the planet.

So considering this,  I would like to ask all of you to take a few minutes right now  to observe this important  ritual. 

Talk to Irma as though she is a real being. If you look at the above photograph, it was  taken down the street from where I live about a week alog. If you look closely, you can see the eye in the sky. Why not see the eye in the storm, called Irma, honor her and ask that she blow out to sea. Then take a deep breath and blow out air.  By doing this, we  honor her for her power, acknowledge her message and thank her. My prayer is that that is enough and we do not need the devastation to receive the message that we need to do everything differently.  Please take the time to do this for ourselves, Florida and our planet. Thank you.
