Impromptu Animal Wisdom Reading – Owl – On Making Sense of Things, Inner Wisdom, Kindness

I was so inspired by a poem I read this morning in my friend, Dawn’s, newsletter, that I felt called to do an impromptu animal wisdom reading. Who (no pun intended!) shows up, but Owl! The collage above is one I created and was the first piece to sell when I announced the opening of my Etsy shop a little less than two weeks ago. It just so happens owl is the last one on my art table that I need to write a message for before I give it to the person who purchased it. So definitely a confirmation personally for me.

But also owl is about trusting our wise inner self and making sense in a world that sometimes just does not seem to make sense these past eighteen months. So may Owl, the poem, and this message serve as some healing as you, and we all, journey forward.

Click on the owl collage above or on the video below to listen. I’ve also copied and pasted the poem below if you’d like to have the words to save.  🙂

BE KIND…
when the world
goes mad
be wildly kind
to everyone
everyone
everyone
everyone
~ you can’t control much
but you control how
you treat others
in these breaking news
heartbreaking times
when nothing feels
certain
let your raw kindness
be a certainty
allow your compassion
to become a North Star
stamped up in
the sky for
others to follow
back home
