Spirit Animal - Prairie Chicken

image

"Prairie Chicken Rooster" - From Wikipedia

 

On Friday morning, as I entered the last cul-de-sac prior to entering into the park, a flock of prairie chickens flew up off the road, almost in front of me and the dogs.  Sage, our golden retriever, was quite excited about seeing all of these birds fly up.  He barked and wanted to run after them.  I was simply astonished!  Prairie chickens are not normally in the residential area.

Chickens of all sorts have been part of the cycle of food for Man for a very long time.  Therefore, they speak about nourishment - for the physical, the spiritual and the emotional.  Since Chicken prefers to be in flocks, the message a flock brings is about the need to be with one's community from time to time.  Like beings "flock" together.  Prairie Chickens also like to form small circles of protection and comfort.  This message was actually a foreshadowing of the weekend that I was participating in... fourteen participants and two Shaman formed a small, tight circle for the purpose of growing, sharing, and releasing.

May you grow and change with a like minded community!

Thanks for reading this blog post. Sharing is good if it is kind and either has questions or tells about an experience.
