In my last spirit journey, after the interlude with the jellyfish, I walked on up my path. As usual, the woods seemed dark, the trees were tall, black, and clean-limbed. As I walked, I practiced the exercises to open my heart, to try and accept more freely. As I did so, the sun broke through the trees and the woods lightened up. I stopped to look around, and it went dark again. Whenever I concentrated and opened my heart, the sun showed through the trees and they appeared green and bright; whenever I stopped, it went dark again. I have a lot of work to do, to learn to keep my heart open.
When I reached the clearing, my guides were there (Oak, Spider, and Swallow). I greeted them and thanked them all for their help. I looked to the stream, and the Green Master was there. He/she is a guide who usually appears in an anthropomorhic form, of a person crowned with leaves and growing with leaves. He usually works invisibly, under the surface. This is only the second time that I have spoked to him face to face.
We talked about my wife Athena, who has been having a rough time recently. He told me that I need to take care of her, she needs my help. He said that she has special gifts that she gives to me, just be being who she is; just as I bring her special gifts just by being with her. She doesn't know the gifts she brings me, and would deny it if asked; but it is true. If I feel inadequate, or if I don't know what to do or say for her, to not get upset. Sometimes just being there and doing what I can is all thats needed. Keep focused on my love for her and my respect and admiration, and I will do what is needed at the right time.
I took comfort from this, and thanked the Green Master and my other guides. I walked back down to the beach, and woke with a sense of peace and refreshed strength.
