Nightingale - Trust

Nightingale Trust Het Elfenorakel
Walking in the park. Picking Bluebells and Buttercups. Feeling Summer in my heart and on my skin. This morning I have also meditated for 15 minutes which was a great accomplishment as well. All in all, today is starting out to be a good day. Al this has inspired me to pick up an oracle I’ve never used before, although I have it my collection for ages: Too light, too simple, too fluffy. But honestly I could use a dose of light and fluff. So I shuffled my cards and I pulled Nightingale – trust: My word for the year and a confirmation that all things will be well.  After each night the sun will come out inevitably so why not sing to instead of fight with the darkness.  All these smalls tokens of hope and trust, like my walk, my mediation, creating an art journal page, enjoying coffee with a bonbon and last but not least, writing this blog post after so long; all these things  are bright shining stars guiding me on my journey and ensuring me that wherever I am, I am never lost.

  1. Welcome back! I can see why you bought this oracle - the artwork is lovely. :) Though its original meaning may be fluffy, I think your post brings it back to the real world.

  2. I like the card. Nothing wrong with soft and fluffy. We need more soft and fluffy in our life. I think that is why we like babies of any type, human, dogs, cats, giraffes because they are soft and fluffy. You were missed.

    1. Thank you Carolyn and I agree with you; cuddles and kisses (espcially warm Jofee kisses) are the best medicine against the cold world outside. Even holding a big soft pillow will feel comforting.

    Oh I must remember this!
    The title and first sentence of your blog rises to the top in my blogroll whenever you update, and I'm always glad to see it there.
