The Banana Fruit Snake

As many of you may know, I have long kept snakes as pets. Today, I'd like to chat with you about the Banana Fruit Snake, as it came up in today's meditation.
In case you've never heard of this snake, it is only found on an island called Aru off the coast of Australia. They don't eat bananas or fruit for that matter, they have evolved into highly specialized creature that lays wait near fallen fruit for its prey.
Since it doesn't, or rarely has to move, evolution has modified it camouflage, so it appears to look like a banana (hence its name) laying among fallen fruit. But it is very vulnerable when it has to search out a new hiding place, as a banana crawling along the jungle floor is easy pickings for the birds of prey on the island.
And that's today's daily spiritual meditation. Alright, in case you didn't get of it I'll expand a bit.
This week is a phase of "change," for many you. It doesn't have to be a major change, but if you're inclined to commit to a change that's been on your mind, this is a great week to do it.
It's not "change," like changing what you might have for lunch. It's an evolutionary change, meaning once you forward you can't go back. No one really knows what the Banana Fruit Snake looked like before it evolved. There is a time coming soon where your environment will equally change as no one in this environment will know the former version of yourself.
So point one of today's meditation talks to taking advantage of the window of opportunity the universe has created for this phase. Part two refers overdoing it.
One of the main reasons the Banana Fruit Snake is not more well known is that, as I mentioned, it loses all it's camouflage when it has to find newly fallen fruit to hide in. As a result, the species is extremely limited in its ability to reproduce. In the yin-yang rule of universal balance, it's exactly on point.
So point two, is to be careful not you over-evolve, which could be easy to do accidentally while surfing on this giant wave of change. There is a reason evolution doesn't happen overnight.
That's about all I can say, the rest you'll have to get from your daily spiritual reading.
