- Seeking a protector, Ma stays overnight in the wilderness, alone, freed from normal distractions sending out prayers and lamentations to the animals and birds for protection until one answers. The prayers acknowledge the need for help and strength, insight and wisdom. Ma knows that the power animal can reveal itself to her in a dream or in this undreaming world.
Ma knows her spirit animal.
Do you know who your protective animal is?
What is it?
How did you recognize it?
Can you guess Ma’s spirit animal? Or one of them?
Hint: Which animal floats across your consciousness or in your heart over and over again?
Take a look at Mary Bast’s blog on finding a power animal. Thanks Mary. http://lettersfromalife.blogspot.com/2011/06/spirit-animals.html
Anyone out there with ideas on finding one’s special power animal?

Mine used to be the elephant; I wrote about it on my blog: http://lettersfromalife.blogspot.com/2011/06/spirit-animals.html. Now it’s the owl, which I’ve painted: http://marysoilpainting.blogspot.com/2011/07/barred-owl.html.
Every day there are three hawks that sit on the top of a tree in my backyard. They spread their wings and sun themselves. I feel a special affinity for the hawk.
