Stone People

Vigilance

The Stone People stand in their ever-present vigil along the shores of an ocean whose tide has receded, leaving the remnants of water upon which we see them reflected. The sky, a soft and mobile backdrop for these solid beings, suggests peace and calm. They exude power, only moved and shaped by other Earth elements such as the sea, wind, and Earth herself when she rumbles her belly.

With practice, we can not only emulate these Stone People, but also respect their ancientness and relative absoluteness of strength. They stand tall, bearing the ragged lines where these other Earth elements have carved their impression on these otherwise seemingly immobile fortresses. Long past when we’ve left the Earth for the world of Spirit, these ancient beings will remain witness to all that transpires before their bodies.

Remain vigilant at this time, but not out of fear. “Vigilant” simply means opening up your mind and senses to information as it is presented to you: through your eyes, ears, physical sensations, and detached thoughts.

It is especially true in two main areas. First, follow any gut feelings that tell you to be wary about someone or something; second, pay close attention to an important opportunity that presents itself, one that may enhance your life and the lives of others.

Maintain your vigilance of the clues around you and inside of you. Assess what is emanating from your body, and then sort out any conditioned responses from what is purely instinctual. Examine the situation with heart, intuition, and mind in harmony; for this is how vigilance serves you. Detach, take a breath, and stand tall in your stature.
