An omen in my path

Stopped briefly on our run this morning to mourn this fallen spirit. #mortality #beauty #deathfindsusall #nature #life

As I was running yesterday, I came upon this fallen bird on the side of the road. I stopped to mourn his passing and then ran home. Later that day I felt the urge to sketch the image I had taken.

I feel like the meaning is death... a release of spirit or energy to be able to change and grow. This form is used up. It's time for something new... I'ts a transformation, a reincarnation... It's scary and painful because the old form was familiar, and what is new is unfamiliar, unknown... but it's exciting, the release to become... more.

What are we doing here?

Welcome to Seeking Everyday Magic. This is a space for like-minded souls to come and ask questions and to spend time pondering magic and meaning in everyday life. I'm so glad you're here. I hope you find what you seek.

When I woke up this morning I felt a niggling desire to create space for wonder and magic in my day-to-day routine. I spend a lot of time shutting down any possibility for magic in order to protect myself from disappointment. This blog and the meditations I post here are my answer to that, an opening back up to magic and the mystery of the universe.

Moving forward, I'll be posting about many different facets of magic, tools and theories, inspirations and introspections, wisdoms and wonders. Let's find the place where truth and magic meet.
