What Coyote Gives
Coyote gives you
what you want, gives you the moon
as she snuffs the edge
of the world right there
in your yard. She gives you eyes
for the shape of things
and a way to find
my scent as I pass nearby.
She gives you a tail
and sure footed grasp
of the wild life just outside
the door to your heart.

"I cannot help you understand. In the realm of the ultimate, each person must figure out things for themselves. Remember that. Teachers who offer you the ultimate answers do not possess the ultimate answers, for if they did, they would know that the ultimate answers cannot be given, they can only be received."
- Tom Robbins in Jitterbug Perfume
Your pem is lovely; I am so glad you seem to value the coyote rather than wanting to rush out and shoot it.
ReplyDeleteIt's easy for me. I don't have chickens in the game, nor do I have my garbage strewn around. Also, we used to have a great many possum and raccoon in the area, all gone now. I understand they were targeted by disease and wiped out. We didn't do it. I don't really miss the possum but I do miss the raccoon.
ReplyDeleteCoyote as seen by many in the First Nations is a favorite doorway to the divine in my heart.
