The lotus grows out of the deep, dark, murky mud through cleaning waters, reaching for the light ~ upon reaching the air she bursts forth from desire, shining in her blossoming radiance

The peacock is a symbol of beauty, wholeness and awareness, long associated with royalty and the goddess Hera ~ the journey of the peacock is one of renewal, each year dropping the feathers of it's tail and growing a full new tail of resplendent glory... each year through its transition from youth the tail becomes bigger, broader and more radiantly opalescent... the one pictured here is the guardian of my home

The honey bee, a symbol dating back to ancient times of woman, sisterhood, and oneness. She nurtures, honors and celebrates life, dancing with the flowers and the pleasurable sweetness of life, while in service to the whole of her family, all co-creating together in harmonious oneness creating gold for all to enjoy. The bee society as a whole is a symbol of eternal renewal.

The journey of the dragonfly is a journey between the elements... being born a water nymph and eventually undergoing a massive transmutation to become a winged creature of air... symbolic of the journey of healing into the fullest expression of oneself.

The journey of the butterfly is symbolic of metamorphosis, growth through change of form and rebirth, whereby one weaves oneself into a solitary cocoon, hanging upside down like a baby in the womb, and after the necessary time is ready to emerge... and in breaking free becomes strengthened

The journey of snake is one of rebirth... regularly shedding its skin as it grows, revealing a luminous new skin for its next adventure ~ snake stays close to the earth and renews itself in the darkness

Of the redwood family the Giant Sequoia has a broad stature and a long life span, with the ability to heal its wounds by growing new layers of bark... many show their scars of sweeping fires that renew the forest and activate seeds... they hold their form, continuing to spread their roots in their network of sister trees while reaching to the sun, standing in steadfast strength throughout the firestorm to heal and create more life into the future for the highest benefit of all
