Transformation

Before my friend arrived, Colt began barking vigorously from the fenced back yard. At first I couldn’t make out what he was barking at. Then it moved, harmlessly slithering. I thought to myself, “Snakes are a symbol of transformation, and that’s what is about to happen.” When my friend arrived, we stood and watched while the snake made his way, following his forked tongue, through the fence and out into the wild area beyond.  

A snake is a symbol for healing, and I hoped that was what was about to happen.

The process my friend and I experienced was a lot like a fourth step—telling the whole truth and hearing the whole truth, even though it hurts. The beauty of the process is that once the truth is accepted, relief comes with the tears, like a dam breaking.

That night I slept soundly. The next morning, as I checked my bank balance, I noticed a large amount of money had been deposited in my account. I am one of the people affected by the Social Security Fairness Act, and I had been expecting a deposit for months. But coming, as it did, the morning after I removed a significant emotional blockage seemed miraculous and reminded me of this quotation:

“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too.” Wm. H. Murray

You write it: Have you had experience with the universe responding to your positive change?
