EB<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em>I took the road less traveled<\/span><\/strong><\/em> by, and that has made all the difference….Robert Frost<\/span><\/strong><\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Date: 5 Eb-Ruler is Yellow. Blocker is Gold. Gatekeeper is Earth.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/span>Meaning or common usage:<\/span><\/strong> r<\/span><\/strong>oa<\/span><\/strong>d, grass, rain, broom, point<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Associated Qualities: devoted to human beings; abundance, harvest, chalice, open vessel, quickenings; <\/span><\/strong>associated with physical aspects of living; r<\/span><\/strong>oa<\/span><\/strong>d of life; greening and enlightening of individual and planetary awareness; The bearer of time and the conductor of destiny.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Funny how things come in threes. While researching yesterday\u2019s blog entry on Chuen, I discovered that one of my sisters was born on a Chuen day. In the blog before that, I wrote about both my husband and father, who were both born on \u201cOc.\u201d\u00a0 Now I\u2019ve come to find that another sister was born on the day of Eb, which is today\u2019s glyph. So I can use her as a reference point for understanding it more fully.<\/span><\/h3>\n

The qualities associated with Eb are quite diverse.\u00a0 Its simplest, most common translation is \u201croad\u201d and there is also commonly an association with \u201crain.\u201d In general, amongst most of the interpretations, there\u2019s a consistent emphasis on Eb\u2019s devotion to the betterment of the human community.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance:\u00a0 On the Mayan Calendar Portal website<\/a>, \u00a0I found Eb described as follows: The bearer of time and the conductor of destiny, the sign is supremely devoted to its fellow human beings, giving guidance and opening pathways to a healthier future. \u2026Road persons care deeply about community, future generations and the children of the earth, and work toward their wellbeing. Many take care of the poor, sick and Elderly and make personal sacrifices. They are devoted, quite likeable and hard working. Many are successful in business and travel.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

On a Dreamspell site, I found this: Eb is global consciousness. Eb in essence formulates. It transduces what it receives into a more understandable form.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, in The Mayan Oracle<\/span><\/strong> by Spilsbury and Bryner, I find an emphasis on abundance and the cornucopia and quickening.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let me tell you about my sister, \u201cT\u201d,\u2026and see where we arrive with that.<\/span><\/p>\n

T gets things done.\u00a0 If she is the \u201croad,\u201d it is a superhighway and the pace is fast. In her life, she is able to keep up this pace because she is FOCUSED and ORGANIZED!!!\u00a0\u00a0 Organized to a \u201cT.\u201d\u00a0 She is the list lady. She writes long exhausting lists of \u201cTa-Do\u2019s\u201d that would intimidate many an Alpha male. She does a great deal of \u201chigh end\u201d fund raising for several well known world service organizations plus she has long taught Mexican immigrants English.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abundance is an integral party of her destiny\u2026.her husband is a very successful businessman\u2026and unlike some wives who might ride along on hubby\u2019s prosperous coat tails, playing croquet and eating chocolates, she keeps a tight schedule of volunteer service interspersed with caring for her family. (Well, she does eat chocolates.)\u00a0 She travels a great deal, and to peer inside her packed suitcase is to marvel at its orderly elegance. It has occurred to me, that my sister does not take abundance lightly or for granted, but seeks to give as good as she gets. She really CARES about the world and people. She’s a very generous spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

So EB has to do with being on the road of life, it would seem, and walking the path in a manner that benefits all whom you pass by. Eb\u2019s energies seem to tie this caring with abundance\u2026..hmmm.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the tools we can use to walk the path of life is journaling. I don\u2019t know if my sister keeps a journal. But I do know that my Elder, Grandmother Pa\u2019Ris\u2019Ha, has time and time again emphasized how valuable this can be. First, a journal keeps you focused on life’s good things; secondly they can keep you organized.<\/span><\/p>\n

To keep focused on life’s blessings, as Oprah Winfrey says, \u00a0“Keep a grateful journal. Every night, list five things that you are grateful for. What it will begin to do is change your perspective of your day and your life.” And according to the Law of Attraction, this focus will create a reality of continued blessings in abundance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, the journal can be used as a day planner, a list repository, a script for the next day\u2019s run down the superhighway of life. “Organization is realization,\u201d as Grandmother Pa\u2019Ris\u2019Ha has said and committing plans to paper or computer is the first step to creating reality.\u00a0 In fact, Grandmother recommends using grid paper to write out scripts and plans because this is a representation of the 3-dimensional web of life and will serve to enervate your plans. (See my blog, Spider Mother’s Grid, Jan. 13.)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Come on guys.\u00a0 This world need all our efforts.
\nMay the Eb Road NOT be “the road less traveled”!<\/span><\/p>\n
