The Free Radical

By my count, this is the eighth snake of the season.

I walked right up to him and he didn’t budge. Just his tongue flicked in and out of his mouth. He tasted my presence, making sure that I was the correct one to receive the first part of Snake’s message.

“The stillness and deep quiet of the last few days are indications of the ‘pause’ we are in. The New Vision has been passed off and brought down to Earth. Belly-to-the-ground practicality tests its viability as a Living Vision. I can vouch for its feasibility.

“Unseen maneuvers maintain the illusion of inactivity… but everything is moving into place. When movement becomes visible, it will be so swift as to blur the senses. Watch closely!”

And just like that Snake snapped into a coil momentarily, before moving quickly into the bushes and the long grass.

“It is often the nature of profound change to occur nearly undetected in clandestine ways until its manifestation can no longer remain hidden. Then, in the blink of an eye, the world of appearances is wholly transformed. Do not be startled by the ‘sudden’ change, for it is in truth not sudden at all. It is well-planned and intricately co-ordinated.”

A few minutes later, I met up with Hawk. She was a mature individual, rising up from her nesting site in the swamp to perch on a nearby tree. She watched me in transfixion as I began speaking to her. She answered me twice directly with the raspy screech of her characteristic voice. It was not lost on me that Snake is one of her favourite foods.

“The New Vision must harmonize with the ‘boots on the ground.’ You are the agents of (r)evolution on the surface of the Earth. There is tremendous work to be done at the surface level… because so much has recently been brought to the surface. Do not be daunted by the task ahead. You possess the keen tools of discernment to clearly see your way through.

“And once the New Vision is fully grounded into the Heart of Earth, you will turn to the skies. Frontiers await. I will instruct you further at the appropriate time.”
