This is a picture of a bronze turkey
I was working with a client today, when the expression came up, “you can soar like an eagle, or roost like a turkey”. I did not think any more about it, until I sat down to write my blog. Then I heard, “Excuse me! Excuse me!”
I looked around. There, sitting on the periphery of my vision was a big turkey. He said, “ I want to take issue with your comments in your session about turkeys roosting. All beings sleep! And, roosting in trees, with our flock, we are safer than many beings. We have learned how to stick together, for safety. We were put on this land (North America) by The One (Creator) to provide good, lean food for the Peoples of the land. We have done that.
Back to the roosting. Do you know how much a Turkey sees while it is roosting? Eagles may have great vision from great heights, yet often they miss details that are crucial to the end goal. We Turkeys are in a better position to see what details may trip up the best plans. We know how to take care of each other and of those we care about. Eagles are almost extinct because they do not know how to care for each other. Turkeys were almost hunted to extinction. We did however, by hiding and by subterfuge, find ways to regrow our numbers.
We are very honoured that turkeys have become one of the staples of diet. We urge you to eat turkeys that can rustle up their own food as the force fed turkeys do not have the same quality of meat. Those turkeys even smell differently from those of us in the wild, or that have the run of farms or gardens.
When you eat turkeys, you share in the turkey power. One, you need to care for those resources that you use over and over. Two, you have the power of balance, so use it when your life gets out of balance. We need good balance to fly up into trees to roost, and to stay on the branch over night. Three, we have the gift of abundance; we are able to find the best food and shelter, and the safest places to be. This gift is also your gift.
Please do not malign turkeys! We are a gift to you all!”
I now have a different view of turkeys, and I appreciate them much more than I did several hours ago. How do you feel about turkeys?
