Rainbow Warrior Awaken!
Greet fresh this hopeful day.
Horizons spread before you.
Step now without delay.
Release your history's challenge,
Break free from past restraints.
A new path shines before you,
It's song the Rainbow Way.

~from "Rainbow Warrior Awaken Guidebook" by Mara Friedman and Trinity Harris

I drew a card from my Rainbow Woman Warrior deck this morning, and the words above came with the image of a woman who is stepping confidently off of a cliff into the universe with her powerful spirit bird leading the way.  Between the woman and her spirit is a shield of protection. She walks her  destined path guided by her spirit guidance while being protected by the symbol of unity and balance. The guidebook goes on to tell me that right now I am being called to TAKE THE LEAP!  And truly it feels that way now.  Walking a path, even an unknown path, is one thing.... but leaping off a cliff...hey, that might require a little more "wild woman"!

So who do I call upon for support of this courageous act?  Whatever I do, I want to do it with love.... from my recently opened heart center. As I look into the shelter of my heart, I see a young man there.  He  appears confident and strong, yet gentle and compassionate. He tells me his mission is not to overpower, but rather to empower.  Next to the light of the luminous rainbow shining through my heart shelter, I can now clearly see him.  He is my strength, my courage, my man of the heart who has appeared to help me take that leap into a new perception of self.  I feel that I can trust his presence and his word. Confidently, turning my back on the illusions of who I am, I step forward onto that beckoning cliff, as the winds of change tear at my clothes. I breathe in the reassuring words of my man of heart, sensing his unfailing presence, and leap off of the cliff of knowing into the unknown. As I am free falling, I hear his voice calling to me saying, "Trust, trust, trust!
