In Ted Andrews book, Animal Speak, the Wild Turkey is associated with shared blessings and finding strength in numbers.
This morning as I was sipping on a cup of Sierra coffee, freshly ground, hmmmm…..I heard a funny noise in the backyard and my cat was making funny noises on the patio. I looked out and was surprised to see a very beautiful, young turkey. My cat, Moondog, and this bird, danced and talked to each other all over the back yard. I wish I had a video camera, as I would have submitted to Funniest Home Videos. They played a little zigzag game, neither one afraid of the other. And that in itself is unusual, as Moondog is somewhat of a cautious cat. I watched them till the neighbor opened his garage door and both cat and bird went in different directions.
I love how wild nature can come creeping up to my door from the woods, reminding me of another world that doesn’t exist in duties and appointments.
I am refreshed this morning from this visit and remembering how important it is to share ourselves and what we have with each other.
Thanks little turkey!
