Musings on a Monkey

There is a beautiful plaza in the Mayan ruins in Copan.  In this plaza the ancient shaman kings of Copan created a series of stelli which told the story of the Mayan people and creation. The purpose of the stella was also to create the journey of a person’s life.  As the ancient visitor moved from stella to stella, they journeyed from the beginning of a project/issue/creation, through the shadow, and into the light and completion. I was sitting in the midst of all of this, listening to my music “The Beloved” when a monkey jumped from a tree onto my back and wrapped its arms around my neck WOW! The monkey was very interested in this human who was sitting in his territory.  As I gently untangled myself from his embrace, he chattered with me for a while.  We held hands and then he left. As you can imagine, this encounter lifted me out of one space an dinto another, more alive consciousness. The monkey who came to me was curious, intelligent, and open to communicating with me.  In the Mayan mythology he is also the artist. The place that he chose to connect with me was the place of the journey.  Now at this time in my life, as I journey through the shadow into the light, I remember the joy of my encounter with the monkey of Copan, and call upon curiosity, joy, willingness to communicate in unknown ways, and the intelligence of my soul and the sacred feminine.
