Sometimes, when something is so deeply engrained, so close
to the heart, it’s difficult to know where to start the story. Why not start with today and move backwards?
On my way home from a gathering in South Minneapolis, I
witnessed two geese leading six yellow goslings along Cedar Avenue. Excited, I
filed away a mental note to look this up in my (personal) bible: Animal Speak, by Ted Andrews, to see what possible
meaning or symbolism this demonstration might have for me. And then I went on
with my day.
Later, during a meeting with two friends (who are really
more like life coaches), the idea was born for me to start a blog. “It’s
important to tell your story,” they said. "To explore where you came from, why
you’re here, where you’re headed."
Enter Animal Speak.
Andrews says, “The goose can also be a totem to aid you in communication,
especially through the use of stories.”
Bingo.
This is me sharing my story, with the help of those geese
and goslings, of how animals inform and guide my spiritual process.
