Advice from a River
Go with the flow
Immerse yourself in nature
Slow Down and meander
Go around obstacles

All things share the same breath – the beast, the tree, the man. The air shares its spirit with all the life it supports.
Coyotes have many voices just like the raven. Coyotes howl, bark and make a yipping sound. When I lived on the mountain I interacted in some way with the coyotes on a daily basis. Often they would come quite close and they liked to follow me. I kept an eye to my dogs and assumed that they were just curious. They are indeed curious and tricksters just like the ravens.

Do not follow a painful thought. You will become ensnarled in suffering. Let it go. Breathe. No matter stay on that path.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

O’ Great Spirit
help me always
to speak the truth quietly,
to listen with an open mind
when others speak
and to remember the peace
that may be found in silence.
………Cherokee Prayer
I love coyotes. Perhaps it is their inquisitiveness most of all that I adore. I walk with my dogs every day in the Guadalupe Oak Grove wildlife preserve. My day is perfect when I have a coyote sighting and especially perfect when they follow me on the walk. These coyotes are quite small compared to the Mountain coyotes, but coyotes they are indeed. Makes me feel like I am running with wolves. Being with wild animals invokes the Cherokee prayer above. The wild things teach me stillness They take me to the depths inside myself where stillness abides. I am rejuvenated with great love. So, you see, coyote is truly my sensei, my teacher when we gaze into each other’s eyes.

All love surround you,
And pure light within you…
Guide your way.’

We had our first big snow this year. About 7 am I looked out my kitchen window and I saw a lone coyote walking about my property. She was a beauty….full coat and a bit of meat on her bones….ravishing. She looked over her shoulder at me. I don’t believe that she could actually see me but I love these connections.
