Today, as I sat outside in the morning sun, I made friends with a lizard…
As the lizard became aware of my presence, he scurried by, hiding in the boards of the house…He peeked out at me, several times..I could feel the sensitive nature of this great creature, and I knew that if I moved too fast, he would scurry off. So, I shared that I am his friend…that I wouldn’t hurt him…saying these words silently and with my vibration, he received me well… As he became more comfortable, he hung out right next to me, a few inches away…It was so neat to experience close up all the textures on a lizards body; his skin appeared to have a net-like material on the top layer of his skin..I saw colors of blues, greens browns, all blended together in the layers of the skin… I refer to him as a “he”, because that is what I saw him to be… So, the lizard continues to sit there with me, several minutes, tilting it’s head to see me. I could feel him looking into my soul.
I could see the reptile kingdom through his eyes…the ancient history of his ancestry…I could feel other lizards, snakes, even dinosaurs through his gentle spirit. I found him to be so sensitive to movement and vibration..Lizards feel with their bodies..They have a direct relationship with the earth. One slight move, and he may run off…so, slowly, I straightened out my body and as I became still, slowly moving my body, while still connecting with him…The lizard barely moved, just watching me with his eyes. After a few moments, the lizard moves his body in a rhythmic motion and something leaves his body….of course, he’s poopoing! This is definetly the first time I’ve seen a lizard poop! little pellets…I giggled…hoping not to offend him…In this moment, 2 bunnies come hopping along, quite close…they felt very playful and going about their day, eating grasses and hiding out in the bushes.
Couldn’t imagine a better way to open to my day!
