Well i bumped into that very woodpecker last evening, well, his brother at least, while jaunting through a local park. That's a great way to look at him (he's also a symbol for opportunity); i've been working on the reason i keep attracting mothering types and just recently learned a cosstly lesson on expecting and counting on others to help me out of my messes (and making hasty decisions out of fear and anger). i've come to realise, (along with a vivid dream where i was asked to take the driver's seat at the start of a journey) that it's simply time to grow up and start taking full responsibility for my own life and to reclaim the independence i so desperately want and need, but was always too afraid to fully claim. Always afraid to wander too far from the nest. Letting go of security is a huge thing i need to work on. And i am definitely insane; i've been reliving and recreating my childhood for over 40 years! preferring a familiar hell to a greater unknown. i feel like there is a warrior and protector and eternall explorer in this heart, but my attachment to past traumas still holds me fast. But at least now i'm finally seeing it and can begin the work in earnest. Thank Openhand i have the bow😉 Thanks for the validadtion, timely as ever! Enjoy your trip, wish i was there!

With Love💜💜💜🙏
