When I was in grade school we lived near the arboretum in Madison, WI. My “backyard” was a huge nature preserve and I had unlimited places and creatures to explore. One source of amusement was a big oak tree that had fallen over. It was there that I would meet my first snake. A Garter snake. There always seemed to be lots of snakes around that tree and I had no problem picking them up and playing with them. I'm not so sure how they felt about it but clearly I was not afraid. Had they been … [Read more...]
Mountain Lion helps me share a deep secret.
During my meditation today a Mountain Lion came into view and shared with me his insights about climbing towards a vision. Much of what he shared with me was demonstrated as I watched him scale and leap among cliffs and rocks as he ascended towards a ledge high above.

First I saw him climbing up … [Read more...]
Are full moons making you and your animals looney?

Closing then opening my eyes again I realized, I was SEEING HIS AURA. OMG. Could it be? Yes, it was. I continued to watch him for several minutes … [Read more...]
A Plea From Wolf
This morning I sat outside on the swing seat in the shade of one of the gardens completely immersed in the sounds, smells and feelings of all the life around me. It seemed like a good time to ask for any spirit animals that might wish to share some knowledge with me. Shortly after my request, a wolf appeared. This was not the female wolf I am familiar with who has guided me over the years. This was a male wolf and I could see him in his home territory. It was as if I was transported to where … [Read more...]
