Finding My Power Animal

I am reading a book about power animals, not faerie or elf. You read each animal's unique powers, and then you think about yourself After reading the different powers, and healing ways of each one, I have a bunch of entities helping me, as many as twenty-one. The deer as a power animal teaches you to trust your instincts, not ignore your gut-feeling, oh yes. Also the bear, who protects her children at any cost, is gloriously outperforming all the rest. Lioness of course, as she stresses feminine power, and energy, and protects the team. Amazingly, the playful, soul-ful dolphin she heals through laughter, love and joy, and is never mean. I must be part crab, because crab learns her lessons when the unexpected happens. Raccoon protects the underdog, "That's me! That's me!" I yell to Mr. Jappens. Eagle is in ready touch with a higher power, so I have to claim eagle too. Owl travels in her dreams, and from dream state, I just got back from the ocean blue Hummingbird helps you to remember to wear colorful clothes without a care. My closet is an explosion of color, , as is every room in the two houses, we share. Butterfly brings wisdom and healing,; dragonfly helps you spend time in the sun. Dragonfly also protects children. Bee acts as a muse, helps you reach your dreams. If you are drawn to the peacock, you are lucky in love; if crafty and clever, look to a fox. I fell into sync completely with the coyote, but I have lost the book, and the only note I have says "you are exactly like a coyote, see page 69." I guess power animal knowledge was never meant to be mine.

All those power animals sound amazing - I couldn't pick just one either - great phrasing, another fun one!

Those last four lines are sooooooo well-done. The final twist earns you the Ogden Nash for a Day award! Very enjoyable, CK! :) gw

HAHAHAAH I had to look to see who was so proud of me on this one; I already knew though, dear friend.
