Today my lunch path took me around the campus on the paved
walkways and roads: didn’t feel like
putting on my hiking boots and slopping through the muck. There are a few places where one can get pix
of the encircling mountains and the huge sky, sans buildings, without the need
of getting into the fields. As I walked,
I looked into the blue blue sky, and there was a huge raven, wings outspread,
soaring overhead. There are a lot of
them around, but for some reason, this one struck me as meaningful: like he was right there for me to see against
the sky, accentuating the blue and the feeling of being in the center of
everything, my own wings outspread in the cold wind, my own eyes looking down
and up, seeing how the world is encircling me, how the air is holding me. I don’t think my totem is a raven, but this
one certainly spoke to me.
