Hi Open & fellow openhanders,

I was just taking a break from work in my garden and had the most fascinating experience.

It started with recognising and considering density, which was highlighted and reflected in a little white feather that was stuck in the grass. No matter how much the wind blew, it was stuck and reminded me of an eddy current.

As I was contemplating this, I heard a loud buzzing that got closer and closer. As I started to look around, expecting to see a drone, an entire swarm of bees flew over my head, over a neighbour’s rooftop, down and away.

I’d never seen anything like this and as I sat reflecting on it, a short time later, a flock of birds came squawking up from the direction of the bees and flew overhead.

The entire thing felt very meaningful and also had a sense of being bigger than just me. As I asked the question as to the meaning, I got a sense that this was related to Avalonia.

It felt like the beautiful movement of the swarm was Avalonia moving in, and after doing whatever she’s done, there was some kind of explulsion, maybe of something that didn’t belong? And that this was reflected in the birds squawking like crazy and flying away, having come from that same direction.

I’m not sure if this is accurate but I also can’t shake the sense that ‘Avalonia is back…’ to full strength maybe?

As always, I’m grateful for any reflections.

Much love

Nikki 🙏✨
