The Final Adventure of Miss Motor
“To die will be an awfully big Adventure.” - Peter Pan.
The heavens got a new star this morning…and her name is Motor.
Motor passed away peacefully in my arms this morning at 9:19am.
Her last day yesterday was beautiful. We took her to a lake where an angel (a kind paddle-boarder) sang to her. We enjoyed the sound of the lapping water, the birdsong, and a scenic drive while listening to the soundtrack of Hook. She slept in my arms last night by my heart as she always does, and drew her last breath this morning as I whispered in her ear how much I love her and how grateful I am that she was my daughter.
Would that we would all depart so well.
I am overcome with relief that it was fast, gratitude for her peace and the love we shared, as well as sorrow for the Motor-shaped hole now in my life. But I know she is still working her magick in picking out my next future companion when it’s time.
It does not surprise me that my magickal familiar departed for her next adventure at 9:19. 9/19 is my birth date - numbers which I see everywhere all the time on the clock, license plates, addresses, phone numbers, etc. 919 is an auspicious number for me, meaning “coming full circle, a return to origin.” It does not surprise me that my magick familiar returned to Source at 9:19.
We are burying her tonight at a lake with flowers we grew ourselves.
I will be ok. I have a beautiful support system which has rallied around me in love. I will feel all my emotions and let them out rather than stifle them. I will weep and make art, sleep and write, hydrate and cleanse. I will be ok. I am alive…and I will live fully…and when it’s my time for the eternal sleep, I will hope to go as bravely and gracefully as Motor, full of stories of my Adventures to share with the Angel of Passage.
This is a time to celebrate Motor’s life and the joys we shared. I am so grateful I got to share with you her precious sassy sweetness. She is now on the next part of her grand Adventure. And I invite you to celebrate with me the love and joys you shared with your past animal family members in the comments or DMs.
I ask for your patience and continued support during this time. I will return with stories to share. They will take a new shape and a new and deeper meaning as this channel goes through a rebirth process, and they will be worth sticking around for.
Thank you for being on this Journey with me while we grace this planet for a short time with our Light together.
Sending all the Love and the Light of all the Stars in the cosmos to you, my precious Starlings.
