Welcome to my blog!

Many qualities that the animals we live with personally, can mirror other animals who have taken on many levels of symbolism that human beings have observed.

These animals live in the wild oftentimes, untamed, and therefore more connected to each other than to humanity. Yet they have extraordinary qualities that humanity has noticed across time and can learn graceful lessons from— when we pay close attention. Some of these animals are even imaginary.

In this blog, I plan to introduce you to several of them and I look forward to any comments you may have, along with any requests about such animals.

Thank you!

Carolyn

“Animals offer profound lessons to us, and we invite you to explore them with us here.

We feature the familiar domesticated animals who live with us, of course. And we expand our view to those animals who inhabit all of nature around us, many of whom have inspired cultures and communities across all of human history. Enjoy!”
