This little piece on 'signs' came my way today and thought others may also find it an interesting read
The universe can often relay messages to us through signs. Often, we
are too busy to stop and consider what may or may not be a sign. We
may ask the universe for guidance, yet fail to recognize the sign it
sends us in response. Learning the subtle language of signs can help
you interpret the guidance the universe sends your way. We all have
been blessed with a connection that allows the universe to communicate
directly with us. To be able to understand the information relayed
over that connection, however, it is necessary that we learn to pay
attention and know what to look for.
To see and correctly interpret a sign, you must open your heart and
mind to the universe and invite its guidance into your life. Many of
us are blind to the signs we receive because we expect angels or our
spirit guides to speak to us in a booming voice and tell us exactly
what we need to hear. But signs are usually of this earth and
therefore easier to encounter. A song lodged in your mind or a number
that seems to pop up everywhere you look after you’ve asked the
universe for guidance can both be signs. Signs may come through the
animal world, from strangers, or jump out of a book in the form of an
insightful passage. A sign may be a direct answer to one of your
questions. Other signs may point you in the right direction, warn of
impending difficulties, or show you a different way. If you want the
universe to send you a sign, tell it that you are ready and willing to
accept its guidance.
Not everything you hear or see will be a sign. If you are receptive
and patient, however, the signs you receive will become easier to
recognize. It is important to listen to your intuition. A sign can
mean many things to different people, and only you can decipher a
sign’s meaning is for you. As you practice reading the signs and
following their guidance, the universe will send more of them your way.
