Bat

Different View

Looking through sparkling, tinted lenses,

these bias have now finally ended.

Upside down, inside out, and even side-wise,

my old way of thinking can now be revised

The mystical journey is long and true,

I’ll be courageous and wander through.

Wanderer’s Wisdom

Your perspective and opinions are filtered through different perceptions. Take some time to acknowledge that things may be different than they appear to be. This could be in your mind or external reality. Not all is as it seems; your thoughts or feelings are distorted. When you need to deal with a difficult situation or person, your emotions or thoughts are being filtered through many lenses. To find the truth in the situation, you need to sort through these, taking away the ones clouding the situation. Do some research; you may discover truths that will help make things more transparent. Navigate your thoughts and see why you are reacting this way. Trust your gut instincts, but also use logic. You pulled this card because, in this case, you may not be right. Could your past experiences be affecting your judgment? Explore this.

Take Action

While usually instinct is king, take some time to break down the situation and educate yourself on all parts of it. If you have a growth or obstacle block, approach it in a different way, one you would not have considered initially. Give the reins to someone you trust, let them guide you through this.

Bat Revealed

The humble bat is perhaps one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented animals. Modern culture, in movies and on TV, has cultivated a rather unsavory reputation. But in truth throughout the world, they are seen as physical manifestations of departed souls, symbols of happiness, longevity, transformation, and rebirth. They are expert navigators and the only mammals to sustain flight. See them now in a different light.
