Winter . A time of inward reflection . A time of re-discovery . A time of re-newnal .

 Like the flora and fauna of North Eastern Washington where my body & soul now lyes, 

my energy has been devoted to 

inward transformation and outward revitalization. 

All while trying to escape the darkness that surrounds this season of

 vulnerability, putrid smells, salty tastes, somber sounds, and sleeping beasts. 

Tonight as a nearby pack of coyotes howl relentlessly at the moon, 

which is without presence in the star speckled sky, 

I dream of waking to a rebirth of 

sunshine, warmth, and vibrant color, 

symbols of a Spring still yet to come.

Power Animal . Horse . Freedom . Balance . Abundance 

I will meet you again . Someday 

I was fortune enough to meet my . spirt animal .

while farming in Northern California this past year. 

She came to me durring a time of weakness and inevitable transition . transformation. 

Although I never considered myself to be particularly inclined toward horses

I have come to embrace her power as it ignites my inner strengths 

and embraces . natures my inner weaknesses. 

" A horse person has a wild spirit that cannot be broken. 

Horse loves freedom, 

but also is unquestioning and faithful to her master. 

A warrior lies inside those with Horse medicine. 

This warrior spirt keeps you safe in your travels and

 fills you with stamina and passion"
