Hi Diane. I enjoyed your Omens. I think I’ll be looking at squirrels and crows and some other things differently. The Sun when he’s present and not behind clouds I call Grandfather. The Moon when I see her I call Grandmother. The trees at the park I call my Brothers and Sisters. If a particular animal catches my awareness I usually refer to my small copy of Ted Andrews’ Animal Speak.
I think I’ll be looking at footprints and falling snow differently. Stink bugs?… I have no love for, but may look at them a little differently also.
Thank you Michael! I love hearing about how you see the natural world! So beautiful!
