Wiley Coyote

Wiley Coyote Wiley coyote you came calling today in all your wildness, on your path to an appointment with survival. You honored me with a pose on my favorite stump! We spoke volumes of beingness when our eyes locked taking measure of our species You in your red-gold prime, arrogant and secure in your world Me, cresting the wave of mid-life wisdom, at an intersection...where your world and mine, met for a few shining moments in the sunlit fall. Nature framed us in oak and pine My coyote vision calls me back to my wild home. Nov 19, 1996 Note.....Wrote this after I saved this coyote after it was hit by a car. He was healed with the herb comfrey put in his food daily! :)

Hi Lindsay! Thank you for your sweet comment! Yes, Coyote's Native American Name is "trickster!" which is much like the fox...both are very clever and have learned how to mix into city life as well as natural life in the forests! <3

G'day Lydia … Only read a little about a coyote. Are they similar in habits to a fox of which there are plenty here. Pleased to read you nursed a coyote back to good health. It warms my heart - thank you Lydia - Lindsay
