Birds
Friday while driving to work, I passed by a series of telephone poles next to the Elk Vineyard. I’ve seen vulture mounted on top of them before, sometimes three in a row. But this time there was one vulture and it had its wings outstretched as far as they could go. It did not move, it was almost like those owl statues you see on top of posts in gardens to scare away crows and such. It just stood there on top of this pole, and it was one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen.
A sign of rebirth? Pueblo Indians consider it a sign of purification and transitions. Obviously they are scavengers, helping to rid of disease (stress?).
Yesterday I did not have such a good day, and was stressing a bit. On the way home I saw a red-tailed hawk fly up on top of a telephone pole as I drove by.
My totem and guardian. Perhaps a sign of protection or intensity? There is a lot of intensity right now, not only in my life, but other people within the Grove. Perhaps it served as a reminder while I was feeling particularly down, to remember my roots and who I am. To stay focused.
Today on the way to work, a crane flew overtop of my car, barely missing it.
I remember seeing cranes on the old farm all the time, and thought they were beautiful. Maybe a sign of upcoming justice? Or to become more focused on my life and what tasks I need to finish up, instead of letting some slip to the wayside.
