Signs

One of my clients gave me a gift at our retreat.

It was a professional drawing with a poem. Beautiful.

It said:

I used to wait for a sign, she said,

before I did anything. Then one

night I had a dream and

an angel in black tights

came to me and

said, You can start any time

now

and then I

said is this a sign? and the

angel started laughing and I woke up.

Now, I think the whole world is filled with signs, but if there’s no laughter, I know

they’re not for me.

-Brian Andreas

As I drove home today from Tahoe, I reflected on the signs that came to me while I was away.

I thought of angels laughing as I question whether the things I see are signs.

I will listen. I will follow my signs.

Sometimes my signs come as hunches-feelings-inuitions and knowings.

I know I am being directed. Shown.

And if I pay attention, I can follow and know that I can start any time now.
