Encountering An Animal, An Insect, Or Plants And Flowers

 I believe that random encounters with certain animals or insects or even the smell of the plants or the irresistible misty smell of wet dirt when it's about to rain, all of these sights really catch our attention to pause our busy lives to look quickly into the nature. Those signs must mean sort of a soothing call from the universe. Or those calls might help us clarify our own doubts that are happening at that moment in our head solving the many puzzles of expectation of events in our thinking brains. 

Beetles, for example, usually swarm around lamposts at night during springtime. Curiosity ignited to look up upon  Google' beettle spiritual meaning' which says beautiful things including something about change. "Change is about to happen whether you like it or not", said the website. Change is usually an exciting event that renews and refreshes our spirits.

The idea of intuition comes along with the unexpected encounter, knowing that, it comes to my mind immediately the words of Florence Shinn about intuition: 'Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way.

On one of those mid-spring nights while observing the beetles I touched these funny-looking insects with empathy, believe it or not, without any fears or disgust. Those precious mother nature moments spent looking at their awkward fly around the lamp and their drastic drop falling off on the ground and then spinning frenetically or just sitting still as if a stiff stick, all that jiggling, and tickling of those thin hairy legs crawling on my hand were perhaps a sign for preparation for more changes for better in my life.

I was very unsatisfied with my previous job mainly because it had too much driving involved, besides the tiring driving I find out while filing for taxes last February that I was not considered an employee,  with that  I was looking forward to finding another job which would deduct automatically taxes for retirement and medicare in which I also could just drive a little bit, some kind of indoor type of work close to commute with the chance of learning something knew and meeting new people. Thanks to God, and to the beetle, I have now two part-time jobs and I'm very satisfied with the work I'm doing. Learning different things is always so much fun.

Whenever I have spare time I always look up the meaning of the animals or insects that I dreamed of or that I spotted in my encounters, it is very interesting.
