Beautiful website and work by the way….

Thought I’d share this with you:

A little over a month and a half ago, I was driving home (two blocks away between 3-5pm) and in the middle of the road,
was an owl. I came to a screeching stop. No cars in front of me or behind me – just me and the owl. A beautiful creature it was…

It appeared gray and black – My car was probably 30-40 feet from it. All I recall was it staring straight at me.
Then it opened it’s wings (huge wing-spand)flew towards me for a split second and flew up and away….

I made nothing of it, except that it was strange. I did some research and discovered that the colors it wore (gray & black)
represent what is called the Great Gray Owl. Anyway… I just returned back to home yesterday afternoon from a great weekend intuition seminar…. and from about 10pm until about 4am guess what was in my back yard screeching?

An Owl indeed.. I’m presuming the same one I saw, ironically enough. I’m interested in your thoughts/symbolism, specific to my description please! I know this isn’t the right area to post this comment so please forgive. Again, thanks in advance -

both pearls and crows/ravens share
a mutual quality when examined in the light. they reflect rainbow rays subtly, gently, magically.
may i share the same wise
council you gave to me yrs. ago when I lost an unborn granddaughter?
Energy of a loved one is not gone, only transformed. regardless of the
changes…you still have the full “spectrum” of their love.
(and my <3 too!)
I also extend thanks for the other
comments expressed here. they are insightful and engaging.

My condolences for your loss. I saw your post on the porcupine when your mother-in-law passed away. Now this post.

Your methods are odd to me, (I’m Catholic) but even so, somehow I understand what you mean.

I lost my biological mother last month. The feelings that have come up since her dying have been impossible at times to handle.

I find myself looking for anything and everything to muffle the pain. I started drinking again.

Then I read you are a recoving alcoholic. That made me feel like a shit hook (not your fault) – you know…like you were some kind of saint who could endure all this crap and still stay sober. While here I am, some poor schmuck who grovels along – and turns back to booze to escape or at least minimize the pain.

Whatever. I don’t really know what I’m saying. I guess you can understand that.

Anyway, I guess I am trying to thank you for what you are doing.

another thought about the rogue emotions and the pearl metaphor. this tops the list of “things they don’t tell you when you are giving birth…or processing the death of a loved one.” These “rogue” thoughts are fluffed up for dying. They are gifts. These are our birthed thoughts we can let go of with the death process. They are loss of control, loss of safety, loss of loved ones and security. And pearls of wisdom to see that is what they are. Now that I am safely on the other side, I am blessing even them. The waiting is right. And since I actually saw a woman who looked exactly like my own Grandmother who was named Pearl today on the street and just remembered that now…well my dear Avia…confirmation. Blessings+Love+Respect for the Ma’s!

LOVE THIS! Crows are also cross eyed and they speak to us of love, law and justice beyond our human constructs. We are death walkers and dream dancers and what we are seeing as dance cues from our partners in this spun reality is new learnings. As long as we are present all is well, to it all, all the flurry of emotions and confusion. You are there in a growing of reflection for your “Ma-hood” I know because of this “Pa-hood” growing in me;-) The dreams are as living as us because they do shift and grow with us. Thank you for sharing your story and I look forward to more! xoxo

Deepest appreciations to you for sharing such raw emotive thoughts on the passing of your mothers, love to you

I was trying to find a saying that was told to me years ago, I don’t remember it quite well and was not able to find it though I can put the essence of it into words and you likely even know it in complete context as well the origin “when mother earth is full of seed, walk gently, wear moccasins”

Ironically via a Facebook friend of mine Hanspeter Höpperger the following comes your way (was his status yesterday):

Osho quote courtesy Suryanarayana Raju: “Let’s say, your holiness, that you die tomorrow. A flower blooms on your grave after a few days. A cow comes and eats the flower. The next morning the cow has a good shit. I go for a walk, see the shit and say, Ah, your holiness, you haven’t changed a bit!”

Hanspeter comments “…it’s a gem…”

A great sense of humor leaves trails of salt on our flesh,
Upon learning of your loss via your beautiful way of expressing yourself… blinking back the tears of a smile
