Such a meaningful sharing, Carol. This winter, there are many snowy owls around here because their food supply up north is depleted. They are weak and weary and many are brought into shelters. I hope this has nothing to do with "global warming" but I worry about these beautiful creatures and all that they represent. Thank you for sharing your gift. Love and best wishes,

Wow! to have seen such a magnificent creature at such a tender age!

Back in 1983, we drove from Texas to Wisconsin. When night came in Arkansas we couldn't find a room in a motel, so I continued to drive on until dawn in Illinois. My continuing on, we arrived at Madison about 6 PM to pick up a college student stepson where I took a shower to shake off the fatigue so that we could continue on. We took a major highway to the Northwoods where my parents had a cottage, our destination. I had to drive a forest road for about 50 miles before we got there. On the way about 10:30 PM, I suddenly saw a white ghost in the road. As I approached at about 60 mph, the ghost took wing and flew up out of harms way. That snowy owl woke me up for the last few miles and we arrived safe and sound at 11 PM.

Twice brought to you as an omen until he came to you to soothe your heart.
May the white owl forever be with you, may he carry you on the mighty wings of his love and may he forever soothe your heart.

A wonderful story Carol

Lovely! My own totem is the great gray owl, but since they aren't found this far south I've adopted their southern brethren for inspiration. Perhaps one day I'll take a page from your book and write of my own experience with the great gray owls of my past.

Rebecca

A very enlightening experience as a child and then to have it re-appear again in your life. A wonderful share for us.

Isn't it amazing how these things happen? Wonderful sharing. Thanks.

A magical tale told in your superb and dramatic way, Carol. Would that I had seen the snow owl in my youth. There is something magnificent and holy about that bird. I like to think, if I had been privileged to gaze upon such a creature my future might have been altered in some infinite, wondrous way.
