Hello,
I'm Candy Foster.
I'm a channel and an intuitive,
And I pull a card for the collective each day.
Each month I use a different deck,
And this month we'll be using the Rumi Oracle by Alana Fairchild.
This deck is a little more poetic than most,
And may need more than one listen.
Fellow listeners have informed me that putting it on repeat is very helpful with its integration.
I think that might suit well this month.
Today's message comes from card number 34,
Layla.
Put aside your clever scheme,
O lover,
Be mindful.
Become mad,
Dive into the heart of the flame.
Become fearless,
Be like the moth.
Turn away from the self and tear down the house.
Then come and dwell in the house of love.
Be a lover,
Live with lovers.
Clear your chest from all hostility.
Wash it seven times,
Then fill it with the wine of love.
Be a chalice for love,
Be a chalice.
You must be all love to be worthy of the beloved.
When going to the gathering of drunks,
Be a drunk,
Become drunk.
Your thought takes a course,
Dragging you in its wake.
Move beyond thought,
Let your heart lead,
Be the leader.
When the grace of love is revealed,
Be a mirror to reflect it.
When the beloved's hair is loosened,
Brush it like a comb.
Be a comb,
Roomie.
How I long for my thoughts to no longer make any sense to me.
Then I can be rid of them,
Like noisy house guests who have overstayed their welcome.
Oh,
The peace when they finally go.
Their incessant chatter bring me no comfort.
I crave the silence of you.
Will you let me hear it?
Will you run through the noisy house of my mind with your great muddy feet so that I can focus on something other than my mind for a while?
Maybe you can make such a mess that I shall give up my plans and attempts at order completely.
Just give in for a change.
It's time for that.
To give up my ridiculous fantasies of perfection,
Unless noisy,
Irritating,
Demanding,
And yet deadening perfection.
I'd rather just be alive.
I want to plant my head in the earth,
In the same mud that sticks to my feet,
And breathe in her rich soil smell.
I want to feel my heart beating in the quiet movements of the roots of the plants as they stretch and grab and stop my ears with her fertile dirt,
Finally gaining peace from the constant,
Infernal racket of thoughts no longer wanted.
If you enjoyed this reading,
Be sure to follow me so you never miss a daily reading.
If you'd like to dive deeper,
I also do a premium version called the Daily Message and Reiki Flow,
Where you'll receive a Reiki energy activation,
As well as additional downloads and messages each day.
Namaste.
