When they came outside I heard this glowing NA guy say "I'm all animals, but I'm all bear." I'm still not sure what he meant by that. He looked all human to me. I think certain people certainly have certain affinities to certain animals, but I also think it's important to know there is something to learn from all of them, a perspective some might lose if they focus on a singular favorite. Kinda like if you only spent time with one person. That'd be pretty boring, wouldn't it? Another story - my grandmother once told my father everytime he sees a yellow butterfly to think of her. So he does, and I do too. I was once at this sweet lodge thing and I didn’t go inside because I knew they’d want me to pray and I’d bungle it so I looked at the fire and listened to the songs.

You might also find that your connection shifts to another animal or being in time. It's good to be acquainted with our spirit helpers, eh? When my son (he says he knows you, name is Eli) was born, I had recurrent dreams about alligators trying to take him from me. After the dreams stopped, I didn't talk about them to anyone, including Eli. However, he now does feel an affinity towards alligator power. My daughter once had a dream that a black cat came to her and spoke, saying, "No matter where you go, I will always protect you." She and I moved several times. Each time we started moving into a new place, there would be a black cat sitting in front of the new place. Thanks for keeping up this venture. I find your blog very interesting. Blessings, Sweet Earth Lover Dear Scout,
