Yesterday while fueling my car, a Praying Mantis caught up my attention.
She was in the middle of the station on some decorative red stones. No vegetation around.
She was green with white spots and looked like a Holy Thistle leave.
When I approached she turned her head 120 degrees and looked at me.
We both kept still looking at each other. When I retreated back to my car, she turned her head back again, withou moving.
Messages from nature are the most powerfull messages I get.
So what was the message here?
She was telling me to be still. To slow down. That is exactly what I need now.
She was telling me not to react to negativity at work. By keeping still I can protect myself. To reply and say only what can make a difference.
So I'm taking her advice.
By the way this is the second time I meet a PrayingMantis at a Gas station.

mmm...maybe you had a camera?
Would love to see a picture.
There is such amazing variety of colors, forms, in nature.
I think everything and everyone has something to teach us :o)
Carlos Castaneda (Tales of Power) was told by his shaman that even plants have power to teach us.
After reading Terence McKenna (Food of the Gods) I am convinced.
No I didn't have a camera with me.
It didn't even occur to me to take a picture.
What is special with these close encounters, is that the thinking mind is less involved.
For some moments it is just me and the insect or animal or plant.
