Q: "What is today's wisdom?"

A: "Rebirth: Becoming Your Future."

"Bat...symbolizes the need for a ritualistic death of some way of life that no longer suits your new growth pattern. This can mean a time of letting go of old habits, and of assuming the position in life that prepares you for rebirth, on in some cases initiation... If you resist your destiny, it can be a long, drawn out, or painful death. The universe is always asking you to grow and become your future."

The Universe Is Smiling: Moon Child

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:

Moonrise

by Margaret P. Gallagher  

Under the white moon rising

Night sings a magic song

Beauty this one brief night time

Beauty the whole night long

Follow the silver shadows

Under a silver sky

Capture the night bird's singing

Enchanted time passing by

Over the changing landscape

Watch as the slow white

moon

Gathers the night past magic

Sinks in a soundless tune.
