they say Athena was wise… for she protected me. Now they say I am wise. sometimes that is a bit overwhelming for I am just a little bird, whoo sees at night…

Just because you do not see a door, do not assume no one is home.

Pride
Proud of your prey you come home, but find we are not your true pride. and not all of us can accept you as You are. Never-the-less, We are Family.

Spinning in Circles?
We don’t have to seek the answers outside – Somedays, it plays to go within. Like a Whirling Dervish – Presto! you just might find your own sacred tale.
circles and sips
Stop, and take a sip. we all drink from the same water.

size
I stood beside the tree, feeling small. The bird in the bush told me i was a giant, and the crow in the sky, laughed.
trying to be a tree
i stand pretending to grow my roots into the ground, looking for my center. i open my eyes.. and there You are, showing me the way.

Saw Power
A storms blows and trees fall, so does the the night. The sound of saws lets me know the power will soon be back. With the morning light, the bird on the branch sings, reminding me the Power never left.
