"The Bear" :tongue: drinker

The bear puts both arms around the tree above him
And draws it down as if it were a lover,
And its choke cherries lips to kiss good-bye
Then lets it snap back upright in the sky.

His next step rocks a boulder on the wall
He's making his cross-country in the fall,
His great weight creaks the barbed-wire in it's staples
As he flings over and off down through the maples.

Leaving on one wire moth a lock of hair
Such is the uncaged progress of the bear,
The world has room to make a bear feel free
The universe seems cramped to you and me.

Man acts more like the poor bear in a cage
That all day fights a nervous inward rage,
His mood rejecting all his mind suggests
He paces back and forth and never rests.

The constant click and shuffle of his feet
The telescope at one end of his beat,
And at the other end the microscope
Two instruments of nearly equal hope.

And in conjunction giving quite a spread
Or if he rests from scientific tread,
Tis only to sit back and sway his head
Through ninety odd degrees of arc it seems.

Between two metaphysical extremes
He sits back on his fundamental butt,
With lifted snout and eyes(if any)shut
lie almost looks religious but he's not.

And back and forth he sways from cheek to cheek
At one extreme agreeing with one Greek,
At the other agreeing with another Greek
Which may be thought,but only so to speak,
A baggy figure,equally pathetic
When sedentary and when peripatetic.

p.s.This poem was written by one of the finest
writers ever known to Man.{Robert Lee Frost}.
One of my all time favorites.Author/Poet :heart:

The Cat -- The Great Teacher of Magic and Mystery; the cat lives totally in the moment with a deep psychic and spiritual awareness. Independent and unpredictable, agile of body and mind, a free thinker that meets challenges by perceiving the unseen. (One cannot own a cat; the cat will give and receive love only on its own terms)

At home in the dark of the night it is a valuable ally when encountering the supernatural and facing your primal fears. As the cat’s energy field flows opposite that of humans it has the healing ability to neutralize your negative energies. (The healing energy cannot be taken from the cat, it is only given as a gift.) The cat teaches that the physical and spiritual worlds are not separate, but one.

In ancient Egypt cats stood guard at the temple gates and throughout history cats have been seen as the protectors of the pathways to the sacred mysteries. (The Egyptian goddess 'Bastet' takes the form of a cat. The Norse goddess 'Freyja' rides a chariot pulled by two cats) Note the colors and characteristics of your cat for that shall be mirrored in your life and will help you to understand the mysteries that your cat will reveal.

Cat Spirit often brings the warning of being the recipient of misdirected anger.

*Cats in the home often serve the role of healer and will sit near anyone in the household who needs healing, speeding the recovery period. A cat's purring can help reduce his owner's stress or anxieties. Cat purring can ease discomforts such as stomach pain, and also help boost immune systems. It is also important to pay attention to the health of your cat. Cats will often take on the symptoms of ailments being suffered by their humans. When this happens, appreciate their talents as diagnosticians, so take heed. Get your cat to the vet AND make an appointment for yourself to have a health checkup.

Mine- Great blue heron, altho the bear spirit came- I was in a M/c accident with one and all those traits followed for years. So actually I have 2.

Not unusual to have more than one. We rely on the primary one and the others will come when needed.

Blue Heron - The Meaning:

The Blue Heron brings messages of self-determination and self-reliance. They represent an ability to progress and evolve. The long thin legs of the heron reflect that an individual doesn't need great massive pillars to remain stable, but must be able to stand on one's own.

Blue Herons have the innate wisdom of being able to maneuver through life and co-create their own circumstances. Blue Herons reflect a need for those with this totem to follow their on unique wisdom and path of self-determination. These individuals know what is best for themselves and need to follow their hearts rather than the promptings of others. Those with the Medicine of the Great Blue Heron may sit until the rest of us loose patience. And, when they follow the promptings of the heart, they are one of the most magnificent when they choose to soar.

This is the message that Blue Heron brings
