What is Calling to You? Hearing Your Cardinal Calling

Dear ,

This blog is about the Cardinal Call we are hearing now, and what it is saying to us. As I say later on, one of the things I’m hearing/feeling is the dearest, sweetest urging of Love itself to care for one another.

Just as I was readying this article for mailing I received a note from my friend, Stewart Pearce. He told me of his agent and dear friend, Susan Mears, who recently traveled out the country to Jordan. While there she collapsed, suffering severe hemorrhaging, and was rushed to the hospital where she was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer requiring immediate treatment.

She is unable to return home because of the difficulties of air travel and the severe covid quarantine restrictions that would delay treatment needed immediately. You can imagine being marooned in the Middle East, not covered by home health insurance, and experiencing such a frightening personal crisis. She is a brave and extraordinary woman in need of our love and support.

So many of you are profound energy healers and I ask that you might look at the two links here, sending loving energy from your Higher Self to hers. This link is Susan in an interview with Stewart, about a year ago. It will help you connect with her energy for healing.

Some of you will also be able to donate here, to help with the costs of her treatment. Even if you are unable to donate, you might want to read her own brief account on this page with your strong intention that all support needed for her recovery find her with ease. These things do make a difference, more than we fully know.

The timing of Stewart’s email regarding Susan’s unusual circumstances and serious difficulties seemed very serendipitous with the following shamanic dream. Thus, I’m bringing them together as an act of group energetic compassion and service. It’s the perfect introduction, illustrating part of what is within your own Clarion Call.

Hearing Your Clarion Call
A Shamanic Dream Experience

Being a dream shaman, among other things, I sometimes sit quietly on the side of the bed at night, forming a strong intent for a dream. It might, for instance, be for a message about a specific question, or for healing work, or to gather information for another.

Two nights ago I decided to dream a dream for us – for you and me and we – as we gather here reading and musing together. I was delighted by what came for us. It spoke to me in timely and wonderful ways as I felt into the Cardinal Calling we are responding to on the winds of change. The dream carries a message and I can’t wait to hear how it speaks to you. Feel welcome to hit reply and share if you like, I’ll look forward to your thoughts.

Your Cardinal Calling

I dreamed of a vivid red Cardinal bird that came to me when I played its call on my iPad in the sunroom of my home. Hearing the You Tube birdsong recording, a red Cardinal came to my window and slip in the small opening of the partially lifted sash. It flew to where I sat in my large corner chair, alighting on the coffee table in front of me, viewing me with head cocked in curiosity.

The first time it happened in the dream I’d googled the bird’s song, seeing them in my back yard and wondering which of the bird sounds I heard were theirs. (Male cardinal Song) Imagine my delight when a cardinal unexpectedly came near the window’s opening while I played its bird call! I held my breath as it fluttered on the narrow sill and then ducked into the room. I had such a feeling of delight.

At first the bird was startled not to find another bird of its kind and flew about the room in fright before finding its way out the window. I played the bird call again to see if the experience would repeat and once again the bird came in. Doing this numerous times over a period of days, the bird became accustomed to me, always stationary in my corner seat. Over time we developed an abiding friendship that became both dear and profound.

It had a mate, softer of color and manner, that sometimes joined and other times sat outside on a branch near the window. Her song was a sweet answering call, different in tone and timbre. During the dream there were many wondrous and fun visitations and interactions with the two Cardinals.

The overall feeling of the dream was of spontaneity, and being in harmony with my world. The phrase “Cardinal Call” repeated and stood out as a message. Cardinal also means primary or of utmost importance. What came through my open window, then, was a calling of primary and utmost importance. Can you feel it calling you? Do you “hear” its song fluttering in your heart?

What is this Cardinal Call? What is there to be heard? It is not words, it is not a deed or a task to accomplish. It is the song of your Soul gaining strength, compelling you, stimulating the Light you are and lifting you. As this happens it begins to call you to new ways of being, new experiences of your humanity.

Aware of this call, I feel a great stirring of the Soul’s longing to care for one another, to be cared for, and to care for myself. I feel urges to share and receive love, to expand my loving until it fills all I am, letting its Light seep into the entire fabric of my life. I feel the strong pull of simplicity and peace of mind. This is what beckons, this is what I feel in the call.

As we heed what beckons to us, we feel ourselves becoming the Love that wants to love into the fabric of everything. I think that was the Clarion Call bringing Susan’s story to us today, for caring, for loving. You might read the dream again, listening, feeling into its message for you, it is rich with metaphors and meanings. What do you hear?

Lovingly,
