What Greater Gift?
Pet Talk with Naomi McDonald
I recently taught the fourth class in my animal communication program. Although I enjoy teaching all of the classes this one is very special to me as we study wild animals, and the plant and nature spirit kingdoms. Communicating with a wild animal is different and more challenging than someone’s pet. For instance they may not have a name or be comfortable with a mind to mind and spirit to spirit connection. Often we need to ask an animal’s diva or body elemental for help with communicating.
For my students to practice this type of communication we visit the rescued wild animals at either the GW Animal Park or the Safari Wild Animal Reserve that are in my area. The dedicated employees and volunteers at these rescue facilities look forward to our visits and often ask us to help them resolve any issues that they need help with. This last trip was to the Safari Wild Animal Reserve and a few of the volunteers had made arrangements to meet us there with questions and concerns about some of the animals.
When we arrived and walked into their main room we all stood in awe with huge smiles as there in front of us was one of the volunteers, Carol sitting in a large upholstered chair with a six month old kangaroo, named Erwin snuggled up under her arm. Erwin was dressed in a pair of coveralls with a blue and white striped shirt. The clothing was tailored to fit him perfectly down to the hole in the back to accommodate his large tail and the tiny cuffs for his wrists. We discovered that Erwin had fractured his neck when he ran head long into a fence, and was left with some brain damage. Through Carol’s constant care and dedication, Erwin’s fracture had healed nicely and he could now hop a step or two on his own.
Carol went on to confide that prior to helping at the park she suffered from severe depression and had attempted suicide. But everything changed once Erwin came into her life and it was not by chance that his accident happened one week after she started volunteering. Her comment was, “We have saved each other.”
We can make agreements while still in spirit to enter into each other’s lives on the earth plane and to share experiences. Certainly, this is true for Erwin and Carol who are taking care of each other. When we connected to Erwin his comment was, “I am in my perfect place” and that he is contented and happy with his life just as it is. Carol is now doing art projects and becoming part of a community, living life from a much happier place. How beautiful to be saved by a kangaroo.
