Looking out my window, I see some trees and the trees have no leaves on them.  They look quite bare, and not a whole lot going on in the trees. Except for the tree, to my left.  To my left, there is a nest of leaves, most likely a squirrel nest, the animals home for the winter.

The other night I had arrived home in my car, and as I was about to get out of the car, a squirrel, was scurrying across the top of the fence, in front of my car.  It was quite interesting, watching this little animal running down the top of the fence.   A lot of different reasons he could have been doing this. I think in many ways it was his way of getting to his home that was up top of the trees behind the fence.  Walking on top of the fence was his shortcut that was quite safe, in getting where he needed to be.  Maybe to be feeding family members, or adding some extra touches to his home.  Getting to home after a long day of hunting gathering his food for the next day or two.

The angels remind us that the life of a squirrel is quite similar to a human’s life.  They have to hunt and gather resources, plan for food intake, and also enjoy interaction of others.  The like their off time for sleep and come across many obstacles too, as we humans do. The angels remind us that all of God’s creatures have needs that are suited to what they are capable of. All living things are doing the best they can with which is possible for them to work with.  And they say respect, of the other is most crucial for all living things on the earth plane.  Archangel Ariel always speaks of respect for all, is most important, all are worthy of this.  All species has a consciousness, with in and all are connected to and also are protected, by God or the Source of all.

As I am looking at the bareness of the trees, I notice that the trees are pointing up, even the branches that seem to be going to the left or right, they are still pointing to the Source of all.  And the squirrels nest, high up in the trees, close to the Source of all.  We all have our own point of view, of what needs to be done in our lives. Looking from the point of view of someone else is a way we can understand our commonalities and differences.  Whether we are living in a mansion or have a house of leaves,  we know we are protected and safe to the best of our abilities and preferences.

Enjoy your day
