May - Month of the Fox

Fox is a playful trickster, an agent of change, cunning and able to react immediately in tricky situations thus escaping even the direst circumstances with ease, while learning and understanding the game being played and turning herself from prey into calm observer. She never gives up or complains, but adapts to her surroundings and circumstances and turns them into an advantage by using her creative and resourceful way of thinking. 
 
If you change your perspective, you realize that the nature of any challenge changes the moment you stop clinging to the story it was presented to you with. A cage will only hold you if you yourself declare it a prison and define its bars as unbreakable limiting your access to whatever you wish to learn, achieve or become.

She says, “If you change your perspective on a challenge you are facing, you realize that the nature of any challenge changes the moment you stop clinging to the story it was presented to you with. A cage will only hold you if you yourself declare it a prison and define its bars as unbreakable limiting your access to whatever you wish to learn, achieve or become. What if the challenge you are facing has been solely placed onto your path for you to become still, look up and take a look around while you are taking in a breath of fresh air realizing that it is perfectly fine to leave the path others have walked before you and follow your own?” 
​
​Fox is able to see through any illusion or deception, even the ones, she created herself. After becoming aware of them, fox quickly changes her point of view and is able to do things in a completely different – and sometimes - unexpected way.

It is impossible to control her, for fox is a spirit of the fires of the moon and the sun dancing together, calling neither day nor night home.
 
She is a shapeshifter, a jack-of-all-trades, but a master-of-none. She is able to become whoever she wants to be or needs to be to blend right into her surroundings and camouflage herself perfectly. She is not attached to her identity, for she knows, that once you let go of who you thought you were, you are free to become whoever you want to be.
​
Fox is a walker of the in-between, a being of dusk and dawn. She understands the unspoken and is able to view any situation with complete detachment. She teaches you to see a situation for what it is and not as you wish to see it, to take a step back and become still, until you are able to let go of the illusion and self-deception and are willing to break free.
