The Little Raccoon With A Message
Most people who read my blog have had the experience of an animal coming with a message. Whether we figure it out intuitively or use the Medicine Cards or Animal Speaks, when Spirit speaks through the four legged or the winged or even the creepy crawlies, we joyfully receive the message.
Today I was remembering a little raccoon. Two streets over from my house the land turns from housing to open, wild land. If you live on the bordering street you see all kinds of wildlife from bobcats to eagles. On my street we have birds and occasionally the lovely cranes. But we don't see much wildlife.
The day I finished moving into my house and came back for my first night there was a little raccoon standing on his hind paws as if waiting to welcome me. When I got out of the car he barely moved. When I walked forward with the dogs he did walk off a little and then turned and looked at me. So we talked for a while and then he slowly headed back in the direction of the wild areas.
I have never seen a raccoon since or even seen evidence such as garbage pails turned over on Tuesday nights when they line the street with the recycle. I really feel he came just to give me a welcome from the nature spirits of the area. I was thinking of him today and smiling!
