Deborah’s attention was drawn to somewhere. She heard a faint hum that generated an image in her mind’s eye, of industrious bees.

Spirit Animal Teacher
Andre had overseen maintenance at the aquarium for the past ten years. It was not a simple task. He had to time the rotation of displays, the return specimens to the sea and when to collect new specimens so they would not have undue stress. That meant coordinating dives and tanks. He was preparing for his weekly meeting with AJ, the head of Animal Care. She had started two years ago, and their weekly meeting had become a highlight of the week for Andre. He watched as she entered the front door . Each time he saw her, he remembered when he first saw her as something more than a casual acquaintance. It was just after she was hired and she explained, "I come from the freshwater Great Lakes region of Ontario. There is no celebration of lake life.

Life has a way of unfolding, so that the teacher appears when the student is ready to hear and understand messages. Such was the case one day in autumn, when a child called Ivan, was lost in the forest. He had heard guns and planes and bombs. He had seen men with uniforms and death. It prompted him to wander from the confusion into the quiet woods, where squirrels still scampered, and birds still sang. The child felt the power of the dragon as the cold winds ripped the leaves from the trees and blew away the stench of death in the air.
