Three Times Animals Communicated with Me

Once upon a time on a quiet walk I felt strongly that I was being watched. Stood still and listened, but heard nothing. Then noticed the trunk of a small brown tree. A tiny snake was sliding down it, without sound. Another time I was walking in the forest at dusk. I heard the crunch of leaves next to me as I walked. I turned and a large doe was walking next to me. We walked together about six yards, then she noticed me And she bound into the woods; showing me her white tail. My third story is of a mama raccoon. I was sitting in my garden at twilight Surrounded by stone statues. Mama raccoon began walking right to me. She had five babies trailing her. I slowly got up. She gave me a startled glance and was gone. The babies were gone too.
