Flashes of Insight

Jasmine, Jazzy Jaz Flying Free with the Angels

How do you say goodbye to such a special friend who has traveled with you for some 18 years. Oh the miles that we have shared in and out of the body!
On so many occasions, Jasmine had gone missingUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUIUI I am leaving these letters here because I got up to feed my horse after the last sentence and came back to these letters no doubt from beyond, I swear !!
Jaz has had me worried sick on many occasions when she would disappear into her Ms Independent, my prerogative to wander thing and had by this time easily used up 9 lives.
Since my pup Happy came to live with us, Jaz has fallen under the spell of “Love on Legs”, Happy, as does everyone who meets my profoundly sweet dog. Somehow Happy’s love and new energy brought Jaz back into the fold of the Moonhaven family and even more shocking, into the house regularly.
Before this time, she might drop in for a meal on occasion and more often, I would have to feed her outdoors.
To my amazement and delight, Jasmine even started sleeping with me every night for the last 3-4 months which she never did since she was a baby, and at 18 she was no baby.
She and Happy would cuddle up together on the bed with and without me and even Star would lay nearby. (read on…)

MANUELO MELLOW FELLOW

If I had to describe Manuelo’s energy, his would be like vanilla or maybe more like honey. So smooth,silky and sweet. Put this little guy in the mix and everyone just blends better. He brought new life and joy to all of us at Moonhaven but especially to me.
I had been having a difficult time after too many recent animal losses and I had pretty well shut my heart down.
Odd to say that because on the day of his arrival, my heart literally hurt from being too open while Priestessing the spirit release of a man in my community who had committed suicide with a coke OD.
Tara was helping me process and release this pain and suggested that it was perhaps a knock on the door to my hear chakra.
Not a moment later a knock came at the French doors that opened into the back office.. I swear the Goddess does indeed play hard ball with me!
One of my neighbors appeared in the doorway holding the most precious little Russian Blue kitten. She had found him in the bathroom at the park at Lake Santa Fe and could not keep him because of her allergies.
I must have really been closed down because at first , I said no, no more kittens for me right now. Tara who usually took the opposite stance in true Gemini style suggested wisely that I just hold him and see how he felt. Maybe he would just blend in with the others.
The witch! She knew exactly what to say and knew that I just needed to hold his soft silky body to my breast and gaze into those emerald eyes and my resistance would be gone. (read on…)

First, I must share my relationship with Maddy who is a young Appaloosa Mustang rescued from one of the threatened last remaining wild horse herds from Wyoming. (read on…)

SPIRIT’S STORY SPIRIT SPIR BEAR, BEAR and Tonka Too 
Date: 5/12/2008 1:01:23 AM Eastern DaylightTime

  I have been waiting for quite some time to tell the story of my beloved dog Spirit. Interesting too that at this time I am dogless for the first time since I found Luna in 1973.  Actually there was a span of 2 years after Luna passed that I was dogless but for most of my adult life, I have been graced with wonderful canine company. Tonight is also the eve of Spirit/Bear’s passing on Mother’s Day some 7 years ago.
I am now feeling ready for another dog in my life and am hoping that Spirit/Bear will feel that it is a good time to return to me on this side of the veil. (read on…)

Chinamoon’s story living with the mare goddess part I** thought some of you horse lovers would enjoy this excerpt from my book in progress LIFETIME COMPANIONS: LOVE NEVER DIES

My dear friend Tara and I worked on Chinamoon’s auric field as she is in the process of healing from West Nile Virus. China’s aura felt quite strong and vibrated some 4 feet from her body. Last night when I rechecked her flower essences, I had the clearest understanding about her vulnerability to West Nile. I dowsed [a way of divining information] with my faithful pendulum over many boxes of flower essences before discovering that China in fact needed the remedy, Grief and Loss in her special mix for her grid. [a grid is a miniature healing temple, a template if you will, of the animal or person, created with stones,symbols,flower essences or whatever healing items you want to include]
China had been suffering much as I had been over the loss of kittens Manuelo and Serena, both of whom are buried near her stall. Each of them in turn used to play in her pasture with her like little gray bolts of light and joy dancing across the sand of her paddock.
I could hear China in my head blaming herself for not being a good enough protector, for letting them slip through somehow on HER WATCH. (read on…)

Luna the Amazing Amazon Shepherd by Flash Silvermoon

My mare,Chinamoon has her head through the window of the computer room hoping that she can score a few more pears since its almost her 10th birthday.
My new kitten Star is fast asleep and cuddled up against the small of my back on the chair behind me while brother Red is on the floor curled in a ball. All in all,a most happy moment here with the Moonhaven Menagerie.
When I was at the Coffeeshoppe today, I ran into an old friend Steve, the Chiropractor who had once adjusted my dog Astarte.
He actually asked about China’s earlier incarnation,Luna, who is the Star of this chapter. Steve didn’t know anything about China but remembered how my ex and I would drive Luna around on a bean bag chair in the back of the car during her declining years with degenerative myolopathy. I had forgotten that he had known Luna because very few of my friends now remember her so the serendipity and timing of this walk down memory lane was quite amazing (read on…)

LIFETIME COMPANIONS INTRODUCTION

This book has been patiently simmering on the back burner of my psyche for at least 9 years and I can feel it demanding space and time for its birth.
What was once a gentle nudge, has become a tidal wave of energy and emotion desiring expression?
My animal family has both blessed me with the most profound love and inspiration and some of the deepest pain. I cannot begin to imagine what my life would be without the animals.
Some people hear the word “animal” and see them as subhuman, less than, while some religious groups categorize animals as “soulless.” This could not be further from the truth as anyone who has ever loved an animal can tell you!
Animals are enlightened beings, angels in fur- coats.[or winged and scaled] They are truly “Soul-Full.” Like humans, I find that some are more and less evolved spiritually,intellectually,and emotionally and all of them rise to the level that we allow by being open and expecting that level of spirit and wisdom.

The mystery unwinds with the Caw-l of the Owl**final
Date: 6/17/2004 11:30:01 PM Eastern Daylight Time

The mystery is beginning to unwind as the Owl beckons me to see in the dark, to go into those hidden places and explore the murky emotions the places inside that badly need a Flash light…..not a Flash -lite. I do understand about soul contracts and I believe that on some other plane we make them before we come to earth and so do the animals. Some of us have a greater choice of options and a wider road and for others, the path can be quite narrow and deliberate with very little room for deviation, It is the same for the animals. (read on…)
