		<description>I was once at this sweet lodge thing and I didn&#039;t go inside because I knew they&#039;d want me to pray and I&#039;d bungle it so I looked at the fire and listened to the songs. When they came outside I heard this glowing NA guy say &quot;I&#039;m all animals, but I&#039;m all bear.&quot; 

I&#039;m still not sure what he meant by that. He looked all human to me.

I think certain people certainly have certain affinities to certain animals, but I also think it&#039;s important to know there is something to learn from all of them, a perspective some might lose if they focus on a singular favorite. Kinda like if you only spent time with one person. That&#039;d be pretty boring, wouldn&#039;t it?
 
Another story - my grandmother once told my father everytime he sees a yellow butterfly to think of her. So he does, and I do too.</description>

		<description>Dear Scout,

It is wonderful to hear of your connection to the downy woodpecker, and how s/he has appeared at the right times for you.  You might also find that your connection shifts to another animal or being in time.  It&#039;s good to be acquainted with our spirit helpers, eh?

When my son (he says he knows you, name is Eli) was born, I had recurrent dreams about alligators trying to take him from me.  After the dreams stopped, I didn&#039;t talk about them to anyone, including Eli.  However, he now does feel an affinity towards alligator power.

My daughter once had a dream that a black cat came to her and spoke, saying, &quot;No matter where you go, I will always protect you.&quot;  She and I moved several times.  Each time we started moving into a new place, there would be a black cat sitting in front of the new place.

Thanks for keeping up this venture.  I find your blog very interesting.

Blessings,
Sweet Earth Lover</description>
