Signs from the Animal Kingdom


More and more it is being report by news sources all over the world that the animal kingdom is dying in large numbers. Not like the way they have gone into extension by mankind’s hands. We have seen the graphic photos of whole pods of whales or dolphins beaching themselves, schools of fish in the 1000’s laying on the surface of the water or large flocks of birds falling from the sky all over the roads.
What is the meaning of this?
The science community tells us that it is due to weather condition or pollution in the air or water.
There are also those that run around like Chicken Little predicting the sky is falling there is no hope of survival.  They believe that these deaths are a sign of the distraction of the world.
There are those who preach about mankind being punished for there evil ways.  They have turned away from God. This is a warning to change your evil ways or be dammed by our own doing.
By looking at the meaning that many have put on this occurrence many see this as an ugly tragic event. These events are of concern for many there are also different meanings.
I remember a resent visit to North Caroline I was talking with a wonderful child.  She was asked if there was one thing that you could tell the adults of the world what that would be. She said in the wisdom of an ancient “If it does not feel good it is not God”. This remind me of Grandmother Pa’Ris’ha saying often where is God not?  When one hears the truth it is sweet and freeing. This is how I strive to live my life. I had trouble with all the reasons listed above being all there was to the sacrifice the animals where giving. I had not heard the rest of the story.  
It’s not that all of the reasons that are being given are not valued to those who believe them. For many of us our world accorders that God is every where. When a sacrifice is given from the animal world it is not senseless. There is meaning. Yes a warring. Not necessarily of glum and dome. This could be of changes that we can chose to make and changes that are coming.  While we are waiting to figure this all out, giving great appreciation to the Giver of All Things and being still while listening to the inner voice of God helps.   
Today one of my Face book friends sent this quote out
“When birds fall from the sky and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the Earth from many colors, classes, creeds, who by their actions and deeds shall make the Earth green again.
They will be known as the Warriors of the Rainbow.”
~ Hopi Prophecy
Where is God not!!!!!!
