I often get some of the best messages from the universe first thing in the morning as I'm on my way into work. In Robert Moss' book The Three Only Things he talks about the 9 rules of Coincidences. One of these is that the world is a forest of symbol, speaking to us all the time if we just pay attention. I find that on my drive to work in the morning, the transition from dream time to "day" time, I get great messages if I just pay attention. Today was one of those day.
I woke up to this morning from a dream about food quality, GMOs/non-gmos and places to shop that label food so I can make informed choices. I then went downstairs, and put a rack of ribs in my slow cooker. Now, I rarely cook pork. In fact I think this is only the third time I've ever made it. But yesterday I ran across a great deal on these ribs and they looked delicious. But this morning, with my dream hangover, I began to wonder about the quality of the pork. Thoughts wandered through my head of chickens being shipped to China for processing then back to the US for distribution, and a disturbing video of pork processing I saw last week. On my drive to work, I continued to think about these things. I pulled into the parking structure, and decided today I would park in a different location so that I could walk an extra flight of stairs. As I gathered my items for the day out of my car, I opened the door and next to me I saw a very happy pig with the words "GO HOGS" written on the window staring straight at me.
A message for me that the pork I was making would not only be perfectly delicious, but also came from a happy pig. Sometimes when we are struggling with an issue, the answer we need is right in front of us if we expand our perception. Yes, the world is a forest of symbols, just waiting for us to pay attention. I LOVE getting these kinds of messages, today was no exception. My thoughts settled down and I was able to go about the rest of the day while nothing but the ribs in my crock pot simmered. The ribs turned out to be especially yummy and I had a hog smile on my face when I finished!
