Ashley Scott Instagram – 🦉 This beautiful great horned owl greeted me this morning on my walk. In many Native American tribes, this was considered a warning of death or a visit from an ancestor. I sat with it for about an hour. It was sleeping for the majority of the time. It was peaceful even out in the light of day and fully exposed. It was well-fed and resting. It was steady and sure of its choice of oaks. I had some reflection on my own comfort levels. Where I feel vulnerable and exposed. Where I feel safe and unsafe and with whom. I have deep gratitude for the safety of our neighborhood and this community. This particular tiny house the girls and I have lived in has been a safe owl box. A lot of healing and peace has washed over us here. It brought up worry about stepping out and being exposed to the elements of life. Worries that I won’t have the income to move us soon as we’ve out grown our space. I sat still for a long time… I feel like that owl was showing me that I too could rest peacefully on my choice of oaks. It felt like my ancestors were nudging me to step out into the light and to not be afraid. I heard them say “You are safe. You will be provided for by spirit.” of course, if this is a sign that tomorrow will not come… well, today I shared the beauty of this splendid creature. The endless love I have for my daughters, my family & friends…The love of our owl box and all of the love inside of its walls. The reminder that this day is precious. You are precious and the undoubted belief that spirit will provide for us all. Be well, I hope to see tomorrow. (i’m winking at you;)🦉 #birdsofprey | Posted on 16/Nov/2023 01:33:53
