Yes!!! Liquidlight - what a beautiful user name that is, btw - I have read that book. Deeply moving, I found it to be. So many things covered, yet on the surface about a Jesuit priest serving a group of Indians, and coming to an intimate understanding of the spiritual connectedness of everything. Isn't that about right? Like I said, written simply enough, but very Good, serious stuff there. I'll admit to having a tear or two at the end. More people should have to read that book.
Well damnit i'd better read it then!! Windy, have you read it too? lol Lynne ... nobody ever described my username as 'beautiful' before. Heck, YES IT IS!!! I AM BEAUTIFUL!!! *looks in mirror* Hahaha Strangely, and i hardly ever 'see' things ... as in 4th/5th dim things, i visited some friends the other day and a streak of diagonal light appeared for a moment, it reminded me of a wave with like ... sea foam, like it had bubbles in it ... it reminded me of ... liquid light. Seriously i will read it tho
haha...no I haven't read it but you said the title had been with you since childhood so...I thought that maybe you SHOULD read it. LOL...I bought the book from a second hand store months ago. It's still sitting on my book shelf....unread. hmmmm...
Well...I believe that Owl is one of my spirit helpers. I've dreamed of them lots and have had real life experiences with them and I am still alive. As a matter of fact twice I have gone into asthma attacks while sleeping, in the middle of the night, and dreams of them (owls) have awakened me
owls are considered a bad sign if you take what you know about them but in native american beleifs owls = a bad sign Edit: its funny because they do equal a bad sign in a way if your native american
Well i'm not native american! Anyway, to me Owls simply represent Spirit, silence and vision in all directions.
snake grass....yes I've heard that some ( not all ) native americans believe that owls are a bad sign. To me owl is a messenger. I have had dreams and experiences with them just before some one close to me has passed on, but the owl didn't cause the death they were just "telling" me about it.
That is precisely what I think, too, windy. We should heed their presence, acknowledge the "gift" of their wisdom. I believe Owl not only watched me get snake-bit (4x), he knew that in recuperating from this I would emerge not only wiser but stronger...having my own built up anti-venom and all. The Stupid Hospital gave me a $376 Tetnus Shot - for those rusty baby snake fangs and all. LOL I actually recoved quite rapidly-quicker than most victims of (relative) baby snake bites b/c "baby" snakes tend to thrust All their venom in there, not holding back, as an older snake would. Anyway, I viewed some owls today, and heard a troop of them in the trees not long ago. Again I asked them - yeah, call me crasy! - to please leave my cats alone, which I think they will.
Today, I heard and saw some again - I found myself hoping this wasn't a sign that one of my cats is gonna disappear, yet again.
Actually I have heard owls are only a sign to be watchful if they act in some unusual way. A woman I know saw a great grey owl sitting on her fence post. She ran got her camera, walked up to about a yard from this owl and it never moved. Just sat staring at her. She took a few pictures that I didn't especially want to see 'cause I had a feeling it might be her time. She died 2 months later. It was just a message that her time had come. To get prepared. To get everything in order. I hope that when it's my time I get a visit like that....
I think that the reason Native Americans feared the sign of owls is because... the owl's food is our enemy.
