Mathoms, etc.

So I had a dream that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom was visiting the Philippines. Nope, it wasn't David Cameron. Or Hugh Grant.  For some reason, I was the one escorting and driving him around. I kept apologizing for the heat and humidity as if it was my fault. (If that's not British, I don't know what is.)  I turned on a fan until my sister suggested we turn on the air conditioner. Genius! Why didn't I think of that? Then we were in New York's Grand Central Terminal. And that's where I lost him. Or more accurately, that's when I woke up.

"Your totem animal is the owl, one of the most highly respected animals in the spirit world. Owls represent wisdom, and the ability to see what others do not. This means your mind is unique, and that you should be proud of it! You observe situations in a "positive" aspect, meaning you probably suggest that there is good in everything. Owl people make excellent spiritual teachers and physics."
Some additional details about owl totem:

• Intuition, ability to see what other do not see
• The presence of the owl announces change
• Capacity to see beyond deceit and masks
  
• Wisdom
• The traditional meaning of the owl spirit animal is the announcer of death, most likely symbolic like a life transition, change

My thoughts and prayers are with our neighbors to the North.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.

Thanks for protecting us!

Happy Feast Day, St. Therese of Lisieux!
